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.”

Sivir gave a wry chuckle, glancing at her sidelong. “Apart from you, no one else can afford the coffee I make

Seraphina took a sip of the coffee and then remembered an important detail. “I officially start my new job tomorrow, Can Olivia come and act as my deputy for a few days?”
