Billionaire’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 16

“Emily.” Seraphina sat down and looked up at Emily, her expression serious. “If you to choose between

Prosperian Company and me, which one…”

“I’d choose you!” Emily interrupted Seraphina without hesitation.

Seraphina was momentarily stunned but then smiled.

had

Seraphina thought, ‘Actually, Emily is doing great here. She has a stable job with a good salary.

Though she has a fiery temper and dislikes complicated relationships, she is truly professional, making

this company a perfect fit for her.

‘I won’t be staying in Prosperian Company anymore, but Emily may still be implicated to some extent. I

feel sorry for her.

‘I didn’t expect Emily to choose me without any hesitation. Looks like I gained something here.

They exchanged a smile, understanding each other without saying a word.

“By the way, have you decided to join Aroma Delight?” Now that they had clarified their feelings, Emily

asked directly, “Um… Can I come with you?”

Emily was cautious not to be a burden to Seraphina.

Usually, job-hopping happened either individually or as a team. It was uncommon for just one person to

move. Besides, Emily was just a relatively unknown assistant in the industry, so she wasn’t sure if

Aroma Delight would accept her.

“Um…” Seraphina pondered for a moment. She hadn’t discussed Emily’s request with Aroma Delight

yet.

Dashiell had arranged for her to go to Aroma Delight. If she wanted to bring Emily along…

“No worries! I can search for another job. I have a diploma and excellent skills. I’m sure I can find a

suitable position.”

Sensing Seraphina’s hesitation, Emily quickly spoke in a relaxed tone.

“No, it’s not a problem. I’ll talk to Aroma Delight about it. Don’t worry. If you’re willing to come with me,

I’ll take you wherever I go.”

Seraphina made her decision not only based on their relationship but also because Emily was truly a

valuable assistant to her. It made sense for Seraphina to bring Emily along.

“So, when will we move there?”

Seraphina replied, “I’ll have a conversation with them first. And there are still some loose ends I need to

tie up here.”

“Are you talking about the documents? Don’t worry. I have a backup on my computer!” But then Emily

grew angry again. “But they took the documents away!”

“It’s alright,” Seraphina waved her hand dismissively. “Julian is planning a press conference. He wants

me to admit that I lied and fabricated everything.”

Emily was infuriated. “What? How shameless! We spent so many days developing those perfumes.

You put so much effort and hard work into them. How can he take all the credit and even slander you?

He has no moral compass whatsoever!”

Emily understood it better than anyone else.

They were the ones conducting the core research and repeated experiments. Sometimes, during

critical stages, they didn’t even have time to eat, and they would only rest briefly on the bench at night,

afraid of any mishap with the data.

Emily had gone through the toughest and most exhausting times with Seraphina, so she was the

angriest about the situation.

“Julian probably doesn’t have that either,” Seraphina said sarcastically with a smile. “I won’t let him

succeed. It won’t be so easy for him.”

“Seraphina, what do you need me to do?” Emily was smart and quickly grasped her intent.

“I don’t need you to do anything, but I need you to do nothing,” Seraphina said meaningfully, but Emily

didn’t understand this time. “Seraphina, what do you mean?”

“Think about it. What does Julian fear the most when he asks me to publicly admit fraud?”

Seeing Emily’s confused expression, Seraphina continued, “Witnesses and evidence against him. He

has the evidence, and the witness…”

“Is it me?” Emily pointed to herself, suddenly understanding.

“Then I can testify for you!” Emily placed her hands on her waist and said assertively. “We can expose

his deception and let everyone know what kind of person he is.”

Seraphina smiled and shook her head. “No, don’t do that. What you need to do now is

take a vacation.”

“Take a vacation?”

“Yes! Julian doesn’t need you to testify for him. He just wants to make sure that no one will testify for

me, so he’ll be pleased if you leave now.”

Additionally, if Emily resigned at such a critical moment, Julian, being petty-minded, would definitely not

let her go. Slacking off at work would be a good choice.

But Emily was still concerned. “Seraphina, I should stand with you in this situation. How can I run

away? I’m not a coward.”

“Silly girl, we’re never cowards,” Seraphina chuckled and said. “Besides, I have a plan. You’re willing to

come with me, right? Take a vacation and rest for now. You’ll be busy soon!”

Emily was still confused, but seeing Seraphina’s determined expression and

considering their long history of working together, Emily simply nodded. “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”

After leaving the studio, Seraphina was heading to Aroma Delight. While waiting for a taxi on the

roadside, a black Maybach stopped in front of her.

Seraphina was surprised to see Dashiell’s handsome face as the window rolled down.

“Get in,” said Dashiell.

Seraphina pursed her lips and then got in the car.

“What are you doing here?” she asked.

He even knew where she was.

“Don’t you want to see me?” Dashiell turned to look at Seraphina as the car started moving.

“Of course!” Seraphina naturally held Dashiell’s arm and said. “I’m just… a little surprised.”

“So, are you happy to see me?”

Seraphina laughed and said, “Yes, of course! But where are we going now? I was planning to go to

Aroma Delight. You know, I haven’t completed the onboarding process yet.”

Seraphina had only briefly talked with the person in charge of Aroma Delight last night. In fact, she

found the address of Aroma Delight on the internet.

Before that, Seraphina didn’t know much about Aroma Delight, and she felt it necessary to have a

proper discussion with the people there.

Not today. Maybe tomorrow, Dashiell casually answered,

“Why?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Seraphina thought, It’s not too late now. Do we have anything else to do?

Dashiell remained silent but raised his hand, pointing backward,

Seraphina turned her head and saw the cars behind them. Wait! It seemed like a car was following

them.

After observing for a while, Seraphina was sure that they were being followed. She thought, Are they

following met Who could it be? Did Julian send them?

“Then what should we…

Seraphina was about to ask what they should do when Dashiell suddenly put his arm around her

shoulder. Almost at the same time, the car suddenly accelerated.

The sudden acceleration caused Seraphina to lose her balance, and she fell onto Dashiell involuntarily.
