Chapter 13

“How could they deceive me?” Seraphina said.

Then Seraphina broke away from Julian and walked to Vivian, saying, “I really want to hear it. What do you think they have said to me?”

Facing Seraphina’s sharp eyes, Vivian looked away and said, “How could I know what they have said to you?

“They wanted to poach you, so they must have belittled us and praised themselves. Sera…”

After a pause, Vivian seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, “Did they offer you a high salary?”

“High salary? How much should be a high salary?” Seraphina asked.

Seraphina blinked as if she didn’t know anything.

Looking at her, Vivian felt disgusted.

That was right. Seraphina was a stu pid woman. She didn’t even know how to negotiate the salary.

How could she be working in Aroma Delight?

Someone must have manipulated Seraphina into doing what she did last night.

“Sera, I am worried about you. Don’t talk to me like that, okay? I don’t want you to be deceived!” Vivian took Seraphina’s arm and looked worried.

Vivian was taller than Seraphina, so it was weird for her to hold Seraphina’s arm. Vivian had to bend down a little bit, but she didn’t want to do that. So Vivian forcibly pulled Seraphina’s arm up, regardless of whether Seraphina would feel uncomfortable or not.

Seraphina turned her head and looked up. Looking at this fake friend who had been with her for many years, she regretted that she had never seen what kind of person Vivian truly was.

Seraphina was obsessed with the research of perfume making and neglected the sophistication of relationships. She didn’t like social interactions. She had always firmly believed that only a few friends would be enough, but she did not expect her so-called friend would treat her as a fool.

Seraphina silently tightened her arm, clamped Vivian’s hand tightly, and pulled it down. “What do you mean? That’s how I talk to you all the time. Oh, I get it. Did you get angry last night when I said First Love was my work?”

Blinking innocently, Seraphina continued, “But it is indeed my work. Didn’t you say that we might lose such an important competition? On second thought, I didn’t think I should let you take the fall for me.

But you said at the competition that it was me who stole your formula?”

Vivian’s arm was torn and a little sore. When she heard Seraphina ask the harsh question, she panicked and immediately looked at Julian.

“Sera, at the competition yesterday, we were all angry. What we said was on impulse, and some of the words didn’t really mean it. I believe you were in the same state last night. Let’s just forget about it!”

Julian said.

Then Julian patted Seraphina on the shoulder and said softly, “Do you know that Vivian and I looked for you all night because you didn’t come back? Why didn’t you talk to us? You are so naive that I am afraid you will be used by someone.”

“Have you been looking for me all night?” Seraphina chuckled and turned to face Julian. At the same time, she forced Vivian to turn around with her.

Vivian’s arm was twisted so painfully that she shouted, “Sera, my arm…”

“What?” As if Seraphina didn’t notice it until then, she slowly loosened her arm and let Vivian pull her hand back. “Sorry, I didn’t notice that your hand was here,” Seraphina said ironically.

Vivian frowned and felt that Seraphina was implying something.

Ignoring Vivian, Seraphina continued to say to Julian, “But if I remember correctly, Ms. Garcia passed out yesterday. Was she fine so soon? Did you spend the night looking for me? I’m really sorry about that.”

Vivian pursed her lips and smiled, hiding the anger in her eyes. “We are friends! Sera, you’ve been with Mr. Brown for so long. You must trust each other and you can’t be fooled by others!” said Vivian.

“Why did you do that yesterday? Do you know how badly it has hit Prosperian Company and Mr.

Brown? What exactly did the people from Aroma Delight say to you?” Vivian asked.

What Vivian asked was also what Julian wanted to ask most.

He wondered, ‘What the hell happened yesterday? Why did Seraphina, who had always been obedient and meek, seem to be a different person? When Seraphina stood on the stage confidently, I almost thought that I mistook someone else for her.

‘It was too sudden! She just popped out of nowhere and almost ruined the reputation of Prosperian Company. If it weren’t for her value, I’d really want to kill her!

‘Did Seraphina change so greatly because she had found out about my affair with Vivian?’

He then denied it inwardly, ‘It’s impossible! If she found it, why didn’t she make a scene? She didn’t cry or fight with me. It’s not like a normal woman’s reaction to such a matter at all.’

“They said…” Seraphina was about to say something.

Seeing Julian and Vivian anxious, angry, and trying to hide their affair, Seraphina only felt amused.

She originally planned to fall out with them. Anyway, Seraphina didn’t sign the contract with Prosperian Company. So she could leave and take all her belongings away.

But Seraphina didn’t expect Julian and Vivian to continue acting in front of her.

Did they really think that she would still be persuaded by them to work for them again after what happened yesterday?

Seraphina might not be smart, but she was definitely not out of her mind.

Seraphina dragged the ending tone, deliberately keeping them in suspense. She walked forward slowly and lowered her head as if she was very hesitant.

Standing behind Seraphina, Vivian and Julian gave each other a look. They both understood each other’s meaning of “Look, someone is behind her.”

“What did they say?” Julian asked anxiously.

“Well…” Seraphina still lowered her head and shook it. It seemed that she was struggling.

In fact, Seraphina wanted to laugh when she saw Julian and Vivian being fooled by her.

Seraphina wondered how they felt to be fooled. But the show had just begun!

In such a short time, Seraphina decided to act with them.

Since Julian and Vivian liked acting and were good at it, then Seraphina would let them finish the play!

Looking at Seraphina and listening to her hesitating words, Vivian was simmering with hatred.

What happened yesterday pi ssed her off. She thought, ‘If Seraphina hadn’t made such a scene, I would have won the award and made the headlines.

‘But now, the photos of me fainting are indeed the headlines of the news. The media Mon, used all kinds of ugly words to insinuate that I plagiarized and stole someone else’s work.

‘It’s all because of Seraphina. She made this happen. But it’s not the right time to turn. against Seraphina yet.’

Thinking of this, Vivian stepped forward to block Seraphina’s way. “Sera, tell us quickly. What did they say to you? If you don’t tell us, I will go to them and argue with them. It was immoral for them to poach you!” Vivian shouted.

However, Vivian didn’t intend to do anything at all.

Being stopped by Vivian, Seraphina stood there and suddenly looked up. She no longer hesitated and said fast, “They said…”
