Seraphina's lips twitched slightly. She said, "It seems like we don't have much history to talk about, do we?"

Her face practically screamed the words, "I don't welcome you."

Truth be told, although Jacob had taught her many things, she didn't like him.

Jacob hesitated for a moment, then he said with a grin, "Where are you working now? Maybe we could collaborate with you at Solman Group?"

Seeing her cold attitude, Jacob decided to try a different approach.

If emotional manipulation didn't work, he'd throw out a tempting offer instead.

After all, many companies were eager to partner with Solman Group.

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, her gaze sharp and aloof.

"Sorry, I don't think we have any opportunities to collaborate."noveldrama

Wilson, overhearing the conversation, understood immediately that Jacob and Seraphina were nothing more than acquaintances.

He noticed the coldness in Seraphina's expression and smiled as he stepped forward, gently placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Didn't you say we were going to the movies? It's almost time."

Seraphina glanced at him, her face softening into a smile. She nodded naturally.

"Let's go then."

The two of them walked away, leaving Jacob behind..

Jacob cursed under his breath and finished his drink in one go.

Ken, who had been watching the whole scene, approached him.

"Jacob, do you know Ms. Cross?"

Jacob nodded, realizing Ken was with Orion, and decided to be honest.

"I don't just know her-we're practically family! But why is she here? Does she work for Dros Group now?"

Ken smiled but didn't answer directly. "She's the president of Cross Group and our boss's ex-wife."

Jacob's face froze, his eyes widening in disbelief. "F*ck me!"

The news clearly shocked him.

After all this time, he still didn't know Seraphina's true background.

Quickly, he set down his drink and rushed off to find Orion.

The moment the cold air hit her, she shivered, feeling as though the chilliness was seeping into every pore.

It was freezing!

But just as quickly, a warm, soothing scent surrounded her, and Wilson draped his jacket over her shoulders.

"This is my chance to impress you. You can't turn me down!"

Seraphina wanted to thank him, but the words stuck in her throat.

She smiled instead, "What a wonderful opportunity for you."

Wilson's eyes softened as he smiled gently. "Goodbye."

Seraphina was confused. "Aren't we going to watch the movie?"

The man froze, his face turning red in an instant. "I thought that was just an excuse to help you get away."

"Let's go. It's still early, and this will be my way of thanking you for helping me escape."

Wilson's eyes softened as he looked at her. "I wouldn't mind at all."

They got in the car, and the warmth inside made Seraphina let out a sigh of relief.

Wilson hesitated for a moment; in the end, he decided to share his feelings.

"Actually, I've been meaning to apologize to you for a while now."

"Why?" she asked.

"Back at the gym, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. That wasn't my intention. When I pursued you,

was serious. My intention was not to exact revenge or exploit you in any manner."

He fell silent, glancing at Seraphina, who was sitting beside him.

She hadn't given it much thought and didn't realize Wilson had held onto this for so long.

Were her words too harsh back then?

Seraphina turned to look at him. His profile was framed by the light, his features smooth and gentle, his eyes sincere, filled with apology.

"Mr. Rockwell, it's alright. It's just a small use for self-protection. I don't mind."

"But I wasn't trying to use you, Seraphina. I really like you."

His expression was serious, his tone kind yet tinged with urgency.

He was explaining himself.

The car fell into a brief silence.
