SWNOVELS Chapter Inhert 155
Chapter 155 Is She Here?
Orion didn't get the chance to say a word.
That was her answer.
What did my birthday have to do with her?
Orion's heart sank further and further, but then he remembered what Lucius had said. She had already bought a gift; she wouldn't miss his party.
She must be throwing a tantrum!
The thought eased his mind a little.
Seraphina woke up early. She was unaffected by the call from the night before.
It had rained last night, and the gentle patter of rain served as the perfect lullaby.
The morning was still a bit cool and overcast when she opened the balcony door. The chilly breeze brushed against her, sending a shiver through her.
Hansen called first thing in the morning. Seraphina picked up, "Hansen, happy birthday!"
He chuckled and said, "I waited so long for your call, but it never came, so I couldn't help but give you a call.
Seraphina scoffed. 'Do you think I won't beat you because it's your birthday tomorrow?"
She put him on speakerphone and applied a delicate layer of makeup. She chose a stunning gown, one of Sarah's designs, that was luxurious and elegant, making her look nothing short of spectacular. With a pair of high heels, her presence instantly became commanding, and she exuded an air of grace and nobility.
"My queen, what did you give me? I've been thinking about it all night. Hansen asked eagerly.
The gift he most looked forward to was the one from Seraphina.
"What do you need?" she asked.
"I need a girlfriend, Hansen replied boldly, making his intention clear.
"I've decided to pursue you officially!"
He declared.
I disagree, Seraphina responded, her voice laced with cold amusement.
"My decision is unilateral; there is no need for your agreement. My love flows through my veins like the blood in my body...

Chapter 155 is the Here?
Finished
He's nuts!
She finished getting ready and headed straight to work
Thomas placed the morning's meeting documents on her desk, hesitating slightly
He began, "Mr. Cross"
"What is it?"
"An invitation came from the Dros Group. It's Mr. Dross birthday, and he's inviting you to attend."
Thomas's voice trailed off. He couldn't understand where Orion got the confidence to think Seraphina would agree.
Given their current relationship, to say it was hostile was putting it mildly.
The office fell silent for a few seconds before Seraphina let out a soft laugh.
"He's just humiliating himself. Ignore it."
Is he some kind of leader?
Does he expect me to go celebrate his birthday?
Isn't he thinking too highly of himself? -
Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. Her boss's reaction was as expected.
He found an excuse to brush off Ken.
Ken awkwardly returned to the CEO's office.
He reported, "Mr. Dros, Ms. Cross's assistant, sends birthday greetings on her behalf, however..."
"But what?"
Orion's gaze darkened, his mood visibly souring.
"Oh, the Cross Group has encountered some issues overseas, and Ms. Cross needs to deal with them personally. She's already left the country."
Ken paused and glanced up at Orion. Seraphina's excuse was flimsy at best!
I see
Orion's voice was low. His heart is sinking painfully.
She's not coming.
Hadn't she already said so?
We aren't even friends. Why would she come to my birthday party?

the occasion. No outsiders were allowed in.
A birthday celebration for Orion had to be grand.
Finished
The group quickly gathered, and the atmosphere became lively, but Orion sat in a corner. He was drinking silently, completely out of place. Lucius approached with a drink. He gently clinked it against Orion's glass.
"Orion, happy birthday!"
Orion didn't even lift his eyes as he downed his drink in one go. His gaze was deep and unfathomable.
"She didn't come," he said in a cold voice.
Lucius froze, instantly understanding whom he meant.
He thought quickly and draped an arm over Orion's shoulder.
"Maybe she's just shy. Given your relationship, it would be embarrassing if she were too forward. Who knows? She might give you your gift tomorrow." Locius was confident. He wouldn't be wrong.
Seraphina was in love with Orion before, and naturally, she knew Orion was fond of Patek Philippe
watches.
That watch must be for him. He was sure of it!
"Hey, isn't that Seraphina?"
Someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.
