Seraphina carefully avoided the chill that seemed to surround him, steering clear of his intense gaze. What is he trying to do?

"You've never done anything that's simple to like, she muttered, crossing her arms.

Orion's expression stiffened, his eyes darkening with a depth that made her uncomfortable.

She cleared her throat, and suddenly her gaze darted toward the drawer.

Seraphina walked over and pulled out a thick stack of cash. After a brief moment's hesitation, she pulled out two bills.

"Here are your escort fees. I can't just sleep with you for free."

She shoved the bills into his coat pocket and casually tossed the rest of the money onto the table before turning and walking out

Orion's expression instantly darkened to the point of fury.

I want to explode!

How could she have done this to me?

This is nothing short of an insult.

His chest heaved with each breath, and his face tightened-cold and stern.

The anger built inside him, but he felt helpless against it.

He watched her as she walked into the living room to get some water.

Orion forced himself to suppress his emotions, soften her expression, and let out a strained smile.

"This is too generous; you don't need to pay this much."

Seraphina watched him silently, blinking slowly before a brief smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"I know, that's plenty of tip," she said.

Orion was speechless. His face darkened even further.

Maybe I shouldn't have invited the humiliation.

Calm down! Breathe! You have to calm down.

Just then, the phone in the living room rang. Seraphina walked over and picked it up.

"Hello, who is it?"

"It's me."

Seraphina paused for a moment and asked, "Wilson?"

What she didn't notice was that Orion's face turned completely gloomy the moment he heard that name.

He stood still, trying to hold back his darker thoughts with the rage that boiled inside. He quietly stood on the side, waiting for Seraphina to finish the call.

Each passing second felt unbearably long.

"I tried calling your mobile number, but no one answered, so I reached out to Justin. He gave me your apartment number, and I thought I'd try my luck. Looks like it worked."

Wilson's voice was calm, and he sounded relaxed.

Seraphina replied, "I left my phone at the restaurant last night and haven't had a chance to pick it up yet." Wilson simply wanted to apologize for what had happened the night before and explain things in person. Seraphina wasn't in the mood to talk, and she was not feeling well; therefore, she declined.

After hanging up, she finally realized that, although Orion had been there, he hadn't made a sound during the entire conversation.

When she turned around, her eyes locked onto his cold, emotionless gaze-his expression as deep and dark as an unfathomable lake.

Before she could speak, Orion's expression changed. His lips curled into a rare smile, a smile that almost seemed out of place.

"You two are together?"

Seraphina didn't want to explain any further; she said, "That's none of your business."

Orion's smile vanished, replaced by an instant chill.

Orion's smile momentarily faded, but he swiftly regained his composure, seemingly more naturally than usual.

"Can I ask as a friend? Or are you worried your boyfriend might become upset? Don't worry. Nothing happened between us. Do I need to give him an explanation?

Seraphina frowned, struggling to make sense of Orion's words.

Based on what she knew of him, he should have stormed out in anger or sarcastically warned her. Something didn't feel right.

She massaged her temple, wondering if the world had changed too fast for her to keep up.

"No, you don't have to."

She said coldly, rejecting the offer.

Orion seemingly unaffected, gritted his teeth and said something completely out of character for

"I respect every choice you make. I just want you to be happy. If you choose him. I'll wish you happiness

"You're such a wonderful person. If I were your boyfriend, I'd never let you suffer. No matter what. I always have your back."

He spoke all of that in one breath, leaving Seraphina stunned for several seconds.

Why did his words sound so familiar?

Just as she was about to ask him to act normal, Orion spoke again.

"Our relationship is far from ordinary, but there's still a lot of business cooperation between our companies. Your boyfriend won't mind, will he?"
