Chapter 45

Julian thought for a while and said, “Okay!”

Julian borrowed a phone to call Seraphina. She blacklisted both of them.

When Seraphina received the call, she had just come out of the laboratory. All the research and analysis data had been produced and detailed records had been made. She could directly hand them over to Mia. Seraphina completed it ahead of schedule again.

It was not a big deal for her. After all, Seraphina was gifted and had spent almost every day in the laboratory these years, so it was normal for her to do that.

Due to the particularity of work, there was a special bathroom in the experimental base for bathing.

Seraphina took a shower. As soon as she put on her clothes and wiped her hair, she heard her mobile phone ringing.

“Who is it?” While wiping her hair, she put the phone on speaker and asked casually.

“Seraphina, it’s me,” Julian said in a deep voice.

“Who?” Seraphina was still wearing a big towel on her head, so she didn’t recognize it. She twitched her nose to make sure that there was no peculiar smell in every hair, and Dashiell did not want to smell any strange smell on her again.

Julian was speechless.

He thought, ‘She said it on purpose! She must have done it on purpose! How long has it been? Does she want to pretend that she doesn’t know me?’

He held his phone tight and tried not to be easily provoked. “Seraphina, this is Julian. I have something to talk about with you. Can we meet?”

Hearing the word “Julian”, Seraphina glanced at her phone. It seemed that it was a new number.

“No,” she replied decisively, and then she wanted to hang up the phone.

“Wait a minute!” Probably sensing something, Julian said hurriedly, “I asked you out just to talk with you. Do we have to be like this now? After all, we are friends. There are some things and misunderstandings. Isn’t it okay to solve it?”

“Friend?” Straightening up, Seraphina sneered, “Mr. Brown, we are not friends.”

Before Seraphina hung up the phone, a female voice suddenly sounded over there. Vivian said in a sharp voice, “Seraphina, are you so afraid to see us? If you have any O <

“Speaking of dirty moves, you are very good at it. I’m not interested in this.” Picking up the phone, Seraphina said, “As for meeting with you two, it has nothing to do with whether I dare or not. I think Mr.

Brown and Ms. Garcia may have forgotten that your company has sued me. We are now the plaintiff and defendant, so it is not appropriate to meet in private.”

She smiled sarcastically, “And if you call me like this again, I will record it directly and use it as evidence in court.”

After saying that, she hung up the phone decisively.

Seraphina threw her phone back into the cabinet and was stunned to see Mia standing at the door.

Mia hurriedly raised her hands and said, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I heard that you were in the dressing room, so I came here to have a look. I didn’t hear much.”

It didn’t matter to Seraphina if Mia heard it. Seraphina took out a comb and brushed her hair. “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, it’s not important.”

But Mia smiled, “You look confident. In this way, I’m relieved that at least your personal affairs won’t affect the company.”

Seraphina looked up at Mia. “Did you suddenly have confidence in me?”

“I didn’t before, but after seeing your recent work performance…” After a pause, Mia changed the topic.

“By the way, I have read your research and analysis report and completed it well.”

“Thank you.” Seraphina thanked her politely.

She did have done a good job. There was no need to be humble about it, and she had enough confidence in herself.

Looking at Seraphina’s confident appearance, Mia finally smiled. She leaned against the cabinet beside her and turned to look at Seraphina. “Frankly speaking, I have always felt that you are the one who plagiarized.”

Seraphina raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

In fact, Mia didn’t need to be frank. Seraphina knew that Mia distrusted and despised her from the beginning.

The look in Mia’s eyes clearly said, “You plagiarized it. You are a thief!”

The reason why she didn’t explain was that the explanation was always the most O J 14:22 Wed, 31 Jan D.

powerless, only with strength and time, could prove herself.

Seeing that Seraphina didn’t answer, Mia continued, “After all, Vivian is quite famous in this industry. In the past two years, she was a dark horse and had won many awards. And the rapid rise of Prosperian Company in this industry has a lot to do with Vivian’s award-winning products. Let me trust you…”

Mia chuckled, but this time there was no sarcasm or disdain in her laughter. It was just a relief.

“Now you believe me? What if I plagiarize?” Looking at Mia, Seraphina finally spoke.

However, Mia laughed out loud. “Then I can only say that you are a diamond in the rough and misguided! With your talent and strength, you will definitely get results if you do a good job. Why copy others? Besides, I believe that you didn’t plagiarize!”

Her firm and trusting eyes made Seraphina feel warm.

“Thank you.” These two words were sincere.

In fact, Mia didn’t have a deep relationship with Seraphina. Although Mia was initially hostile, now she was willing to trust Seraphina wholeheartedly, which moved Seraphina.

Mia raised her hand and patted Seraphina on the shoulder. She stood up straight. “I heard that you have a small chance of winning this case, but when you talked on the phone just now, I thought you were very great. Don’t be afraid. What was fake couldn’t be real, and vice versa.”

“Okay.” Seraphina nodded, turned around, took out her phone and bag, and closed the cabinet door.

Mia added, “But don’t put it off too long. You’ve got a bad reputation out there, and you need to win this case as soon as possible. And when you’re done with these things, come to work in the project department as soon as possible!”

Seraphina laughed, “Of course!”

“Let’s go! The project here is over for now, so I can relax myself.” Putting one hand on Seraphina’s shoulder, Mia walked out with her. “You all came here by taxi? What an inconvenience! I’ll give you a ride. Where are you going?”

Seraphina shook her head and said, “No need.”

“Don’t be polite to me! Are you still blaming me for being difficult to you?” Mia asked.

Seraphina said, “No. As a supervisor, you should be stricter with your subordinates.”

O “What, the taxi is better than mine? Or my car is not good enough?” Mia asked.

Mia’s half-joking words made Seraphina laugh. “No, my friend came to pick me up. Thank you for your kindness.”

“Oh… Boyfriend!” Mia smiled meaningfully.
