Chapter 78

Seraphina tiptoed back to the room and swiped the card key to open the door, trying to look calm.

Seraphina turned around and closed the door. Before the turned back, she heard a weier behind her.

“What a surprise” She stiffened immediately.

Seraphina said. “You are awake” She looked back at Mia and saw Mia sitting on the sofa, wearing pajamas, and looking at her. Mia seemed to be waiting for her.

Seraphina had already made up an excuse. She blurted out, “Did I wake you up? I just went downstairs to throw away the garbage. I bought breakfast for us. I didn’t mean to you up. “So sorry””

wake “Okay!” Mia snorted contemptuously, “Keep lying’ Keep telling me your story!”

“What are you talking about?” Seraphina blinked and said, “Well, I woke up too early and I’m so tired now. I want to have a little napi Then Seraphina stretched lazily and then walked toward the bedroom.

Mia was fast: She quickly stretched out her leg to block Seraphina’s way. “You got nowhere to haade”

Seraphina smiled helplessly at Mia, Tm not hiding. I’m just going to take a nap!”

Mia said righteously, like Seraphina was on trial. “No way! Tell me, where did you fool around last night Seraphinia tut-tutted. She was surprised by the words “fool around”.

Seraphina said, “No, I was not fooling around with anyone but you! When I came out of the bathroom yesterday, you were asleep. Soon after that, I went to bed. I got up earlier than you I didn’t fool around!

Don’t use that word!”

Seraphina tried to push Mia away but Mia was firm Mia said, “I woke up at one o’clock middle of the night and you were not there. How dare you tell me that went to sleep? What time did you get up! You got up before one o’clock, went out to throw the garbage, and didn’t come back until now?!”

Seraphina didn’t know how to explain.

Seraphina didn’t expect Mia to wake up so carly.

Seraphina wondered, Has the been waiting for me since she woke up at one o’clock?

Laking at Maa’s eyes with dark circles, Seraphina felt guilty. Have you been up all O night?”

Mia said, “Don’t try to distract me! So you know that I was waiting for you all night. Your phone was turned off. How dare you! I was going to call the police! Tell me what happened or you can’t leave here!” Mia refused to give up and blocked the door.

Seraphina felt speechless.

I Seraphina stared at Mia cautiously. “Okay. I got up at one o’clock and I couldn’t fall asleep afterward.

So I went out to throw the garbage. Then on a whim, I went running. I lost my way and finally managed to find my way back. Do you believe that?” She didn’t even believe it herself.

Seeing Mia’s eyes full of resentment, Seraphina knew Mia didn’t buy it!

Seraphina sighed heavily and gave up the idea of going into the bedroom. She went back to the sofa, sat down, thought for a while, and said, “I went to meet a friend.”

“A friend!” Mia immediately walked to Seraphina. “What friend? Isn’t it your first time. here? You said you knew nobody here. Where did you suddenly find this friend? A man or a woman? Why so late at night?”

Looking at Mia, Seraphina said, “Mia, you are talking like you’re interrogating a suspect! I admit it was my bad to lie to you but it’s my privacy.”

Mia said, “It’s not that I don’t respect your privacy but this is your first business trip with me. The geography here is special and connections here are complicated. If something bad happens to you, how can I explain it to your family and the company? I’m responsible for your safety!”

Mia’s concern for Seraphina was obvious.

Seraphina knew that Mia cared about her so she didn’t feel annoyed and allowed her to keep asking.

However, Seraphina’s relationship with Dashiell could not be made public at that time. Seraphina had to hide it from Mia. She decided to apologize to Mia in the future.

“Don’t worry. My friend is not from here. He came here for something. After a brief pause, Seraphina said, “The reason why we met so late is that he had just finished his work and we both had our own things to do during the day. So…”

This explanation sounded a little farfetched but at least it was more reliable than going out for a night run and then getting lost.

Mia nodded thoughtfully and suddenly remembered something. She asked, “So, a man?”

O Seraphina remained silent.

There was no need to answer it. With Seraphina’s silence, Mia knew it.

Mia asked again. “Boyfriend?”

Seraphina had to admit it. “Kind of!”

If they were officially registered, he was her husband. If not, he was only her boyfriend. Anyway, it was pretty much the same thing.

Mia breathed a long sigh of relief. “Okay.”

-you Seeing Mia’s attitude, Seraphina was amused. Seraphina said, “Why are you very happy that I have a boyfriend?”

Seraphina thought, “What’s going on? Why it’s like a mother expecting her daughter to have a boyfriend?”

Mia said, “I am, to tell you the truth. You have a boyfriend, which means you will not…”

After a pause, Mia stopped talking.

Seeing Mia hesitant, Seraphina remembered that Mia hadn’t finished her words at the perfumery conference last night.

At that time, Mia behaved like she did now. It seemed that there was something that Mia hesitated about.

Seraphina didn’t think too much about it at that time. But now, Seraphina ventured. “What do you want to say?”

Mia waved her hand and felt embarrassed that she had ever suspected Seraphina and believed the rumor. “Forget it. It’s just some boring rumors.”

But even though Mia didn’t say it, Seraphina guessed it. Seraphina said, “Do you say that I am working here because I’m connected to some executive of Aroma Delight?”

Mia hurriedly explained, “No, that’s not what I said.”

Seraphina smiled at Mia, “I know you didn’t say that but it is probably what everyone. talks about in the company.

Now that Seraphina had said so, Mia had nothing to hide. She said, “I know you are the one who Mr.

Morse insisted on keeping. Of course, I know your abilities but back then I thought you were like what they said.”

Listening to Mia, Seraphina smiled faintly. Seraphina was not angry at all. She knew it was absolutely normal for Mia to think so. Because of this, Seraphina didn’t want to make her relationship with Dashiell public. She wanted to prove her ability and that she did not depend on Dashiell or the Landon family.

Mia continued, “But I don’t think you like that. Mr. Morse is the boss. I can see that he has nothing to do with you but maybe it’s because of his high-level connections at the Apex Corporation.”

Seraphina was surprised. She didn’t expect that Mia was very close to it.
