Orion shifted his gaze, his voice suddenly softening.

"This project could turn into a collaboration."

They weren't strangers to working together; their company had always had a good rapport.

Seraphina gave a perfunctory smile, clearly weary from the evening's socializing.

"Let's skip the collaboration. My company is more than capable of making such concessions."

They could do it and they could afford to lose-who did he look down on anyway?

Seraphina rolled her eyes internally.

The Giant Group's project had already garnered attention from both companies.

If they were forced to work together on this real estate project, it would indicate that their relationship was becoming overly complex, with numerous overlapping interests. That was hardly a good thing Just then, Thomas glanced at his phone and saw an urgent message from Emeris, prompting him to interrupt their conversation.

"Ms. Cross, it's time for you to head home."

Seraphina nodded as the driver pulled the car up in front of them.

Thomas opened the door for her, and she slid into the back seat while he took the seat opposite her.

Just as the car was about to start, Seraphina's door suddenly swung open again, revealing Orion's dark expression.

A chill gust swept in.

Everyone was taken aback.

"Is there something else?" Seraphina asked, eyeing him warily.

Orion pressed his lips together, his delicate brows furrowed, After a few moments of hesitation, he forced a gentle tone.

"Goodnight, Seraphina."

She took a deep breath and said, "Get lost."

He shut the door and glanced at Thomas, who had taken a seat beside her.

The mere presence of any male beside her irked him, but he realized he had no right to interfere.

Standing there, watching the car drive away, Orion secretly vowed that once Seraphina married him, he would replace her assistant with a woman.

At that moment, Ken and the driver approached him.

Ken took the passenger seat, smoothly getting out to open the door for Orion.

Orion nodded in satisfaction; a good assistant always knew their place.

Once inside the car, Ken, sensing Orion's approval, thought success was at hand.

He asked, "Mr. Dros, did we secure the project?"

Orion replied flatly, "No."

Ken nodded awkwardly.

The conversation fell into a deadlock.

Suddenly, Orion broke the silence. "Is your salary enough? How about a raise?"

Ken was left speechless.

Meanwhile, Seraphina, sitting in the car, felt a wave of sleepiness wash over her.

Before she knew it, they'd reached the mansion.

Thomas sat beside her, helping to gather her scattered documents, which were neatly organized by the time they stepped out.

As Seraphina entered the house, she had been feeling quite tired, but the moment she saw Sivir, her fatigue vanished.

"Sivir, you're still up?"

Emeris came out of his study, saw that she had returned home, and made the decision to join them.

Sivir nodded and said, "I figured tonight wouldn't go smoothly for you, so I waited here."

"How did you know?" Seraphina asked.

Sivir casually leaned back against the sofa and replied, "Orion kept his interest in the Eldoria Bay project tightly under wraps. My people in his company just found out." Seraphina pursed her lips. Such tactics were everywhere, much like Orion's people infiltrating the Crosses

Their confidentiality measures were impressively tight

Emeris pressed his lips before continuing, "The Dros Group have significant experience in real estate, which gives them a clear advantage. Years ago, Orion single-handedly inflated the property market in several cities of East Astren, nearly monopolizing it. The small companies struggled to survive on the remnants he left behind. Yet, just when everyone thought he'd continue, he decisively pulled away from the real estate sector to venture into manufacturing.

"Before anyone could react, the real estate market began to decline. In the business world, he's nearly a genius!"

Even Emeris spoke highly of Orion, revealing that Seraphina had underestimated him from the start.

Sivir's tone turned cold and he said, "He's always been one to go against the tide, arrogant and self-assured. This time, he's likely to stir up another storm."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, remaining silent. Given Orion's character, that was indeed a possibility.

Did he really think he could revive the stagnant real estate market at its lowest point?

With a lazy grin, she sank into the sofa. "Well, that's not a given. Who's to say who will win or lose?" 1.7K
