Chapter 280
I Can Get You A Star
Seraphina remained silent as Orion approached. His gaze briefly landed on Francis, who stood next to
her.
Orion dangerously narrowed his eyes, but then he calmly shifted his attention away, focusing on Seraphina with warmth.
"Why did you suddenly leave the country?" he asked.
Seraphina's expression stiffened. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do I need to report my itinerary to you?"
""No, you don't. I'm just asking. You don't have to tell m
In any case, he had his ways of finding out.
Francis coughed from his side and asked, "Ms. Cross, is he a friend of yours?"
"No." Seraphina denied immediately.
The issue is resolved. How about staying a few more days and having some fun?" Francis suggested.
Orion's gaze turned colder as he looked at Francis, a chilling intensity in his eyes.
Seraphina frowned and shook her head.
She said, "Maybe next time. I have urgent matters to handle back home."
"What a pity. Safe travels," Francis said, extending his hand.
Seraphina smiled faintly, shook his hand, and left.
Orion followed Seraphina closely. His long strides caught up with her easily.
Standing side by side, no matter from which angle, the two of them looked perfect together. Wherever they went, they naturally became the center of attention. On the plane..
Orion shamelessly insisted on boarding the plane with her. Seraphina walked ahead without a glance at him, completely ignoring his presence. How could he board my private jet?
"Twent to find you last night. Did I scare you?" Orion asked, trying to strike up a conversation.
Seraphina let out a cold snort. "Sorry, I didn't see you."
Orion paused. His tone became slightly sharper.
"Are
you sure no one was around me? My waist hurts, and there's a footprint on my shirt.
Seraphina pursed her lips, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.
I Can Get You A Star
Orion couldn't understand why she was so agreeable.
He almost felt a little flattered.
Seraphina couldn't bear his constant stare and finally spoke
"Mr. Dros, what are you doing here?"
She finally asked.
1. up.
Orion hesitated; all the excuses he had prepared went unspoken.
His voice was low, with a hint of hoarseness.
"I thought you didn't want to see me anymore, so I came to find you."
Seraphina paused, let out a small hum, then turned away, planning to sleep for a while.
Orion gazed at her, his eyes deep and full of words he couldn't express.
"Seraphina, is there anything you want?" he asked suddenly.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
He felt an overwhelming desire to fulfill all her wishes, no matter how unreasonable. Even if she asked for the stars, he'd find a way to get a ladder and try. Seraphina smiled and said, "I just want you to stay far away from me."
Orion's lips tightened, but only for a moment, before he returned to his usual self.
His gaze lowered slightly, hiding the sadness and restraint that flickered through his eyes.
Then he smiled nonchalantly, the corners of his mouth lifting into a shallow curve, though a hint of gloom crossed his face.
"That's impossible. Don't even think about it. Just pretend ver asked."
With that, he lay down beside her, closing his eyes for a brief rest.
Seraphina rolled her eyes, huffing as she closed her eyes for a nap.
After she returned to the country, she finally enjoyed a few quiet days-fishing, shopping, and just relaxing. Orion was nowhere to be seen.
After returning to the country, Seraphina took a few days off before Sivir called her back to the company.
"You need to come to the office today. Everyone's waiting for you."
Seraphina stared at him in surprise. Today?
When was this decided?
Sivir sensed her confusion and explained, "There's a shareholder meeting. Some people have been eyeing

I Can Get You A Star
Seraphina instantly understood. That's what this was about.
Cross Group.
Inside the top-floor meeting room, everyone sat upright in a solemn atmosphere.
Seraphina had encountered such situations numerous times and was already accustomed to them.
As she walked in with Sivir, many eyes turned toward her, filled with mixed emotions. Some were relieved, others indifferent, as if it didn't matter. The moment she entered, applause began to ripple through the room.
This was her first time attending a company meeting since her narrow escape. Some faces were still. familiar, while others felt like strangers. "Welcome back. Ms. Cross."
Seraphina smiled. She greeted everyone before taking her seat beside Sivir.
The meeting began. In certain ways, Sivir was very similar to Orion-serious and unyielding when handling business, especially with strangers. He sat there, radiating an icy aura.
Seraphina quickly got the gist of the discussion. A business mogul from Wraith Street had a massive project involving international artificial intelligence.
This business mogul's name was Wilson, and he was rumored to be a Rockewells. His name had never appeared on Forbes' lists. This man was mysterious, and his wealth remained a mystery. Yet in the business world, his name carried immense weight.
At present, countries are competing in artificial intelligence development. Each nation had its strengths, but none had yet created a comprehensive, interconnected system.
Different aspects of Al, whether in research, medicine, or home life, each had their advantages, but no single company had managed to dominate every field.
Wilson intended to break this barrier, making countless companies eager to collaborate with him and become leaders in this cross-generational industry. Small companies had no competitive edge, and only the giants at the top of the pyramid had a real chance.
Cross Group placed high value on this collaboration and had sent numerous goodwill messages, but Wilson had yet to respond.
One of the company's shareholders, Andrew Roffe, wanted to give this chance to his son and was hoping to secure a position for him in Cross Group.
lie aimed to hand over the collaboration to his son, and this attempt had sparked opposition from several parties.
