Seraphina responded with a faint smile, her tone nonchalant. “No need, let her do it. It might actually say me some publicity costs.”

After hanging up, Sivir, having paused his coffee–making, looked concerned. “What’s happening?”

“Ms. Dros is attempting to secretly film me, but it’s not a concern,” Seraphina reassured him casually.

Sivir, not overly bothered by such tactics, handed her a cup of freshly brewed coffee. “Be careful, it’s hot.”

Taking the cup. Seraphina closed her eyes briefly to enjoy the rich aroma. “Your coffee is truly exceptional, Sivir. It could rival even the finest coffee masters globally. I’d make a fortune if you opened a cafe.”

With her spirits lifted, Seraphina headed out to their planned meeting point, and the two decided to unwind at Blues, their favourite bar.
