Chapter 88

Seraphina received a quick reply and it was also concise: [Okay.]

Looking at Dashiell’s reply, Seraphina was happy. She took off her shoes and leaned back on the sofa.

She sent him a message: [I went to the flower fields today. I finally found what I wanted.]

She quickly received a message from Dashiell: [Red sandalwood?]

Staring at the words on the screen, Seraphina stopped smiling. She clamped her lips. together and replied to him a message with resentment: [You knew it again. It’s so boring.]

Dashiell: [It’s on the books.] At the end of this sentence, he added an emoji of a little man shrugging as if he felt helpless.

After staring at the message for two seconds, Seraphina came to her senses. What he meant was that the purchasing would all be on books and he couldn’t avoid knowing it.

It made sense. After all, it was a lot of money. It must be reported in detail and what had been purchased must be written down and approval from the finance department and the general manager was required. But Seraphina didn’t expect that this would reach. Dashiell so quickly. It should be reported to the higher tier step by step and it took some time.

It showed how powerful and terrifying his network was!

Seeing that Seraphina hadn’t sent another message for a long time, Dashiell sent a message again:

[What’s wrong?]

Seraphina typed fast, looking up occasionally in the direction of Mia: [Nothing. When are you going back?]

Mia was focused on her laptop and her fingers were typing very fast.

Mia was busy emailing and typing so she had no time to see what Seraphina was doing.

Seraphina looked down at her phone and saw a reply from Dashiell: [No hurry.]

[Are you in such a hurry to kick me out?]

[Throw me away after you used me?!]

Seraphina felt speechless Seraphina thought, ‘Forget about the previous messages. What do you mean by throwing you away after using you? When did I throw you? When did I use you?’

Scraphina thought he was getting worse and worse!

After thinking for a while, Seraphina deliberately imitated his tone and sent him a message: [Are we done?] She became bold.

Dashiell couldn’t help laughing. He sent a message even faster: [How about trying it again?]

Seraphina: [I’m not scared.]

Looking at these words, Dashiell could almost imagine Seraphina’s stubborn and shy expression.

Dashiell thought, I’m finished. Let’s call it a day. I’ll go back to find my wife!!

When Dashiell put down his phone and looked up, he saw people staring at him as if he were an alien.

Dashiell frowned unhappily, “What are you doing? Don’t you have nothing to do?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Dashiell stood up, evidently impatient to stay any longer. “I’m leaving.”

One of them ventured, “Mr. Martinez, about the cooperation…”

Dashiell said, “Stick to the agreed plan. I hate bargaining. Go on if it can work out. Or, give it up.”

Apex Corporation didn’t depend on this one project. Cooperation sometimes depended on luck.

After saying that, Dashiell left quickly. He didn’t know that his expression just now was enough to make all the people present gossip for a long time.

“Did you see that? Mr. Martinez smiled! He smiled!”

“Nonsense! Mr. Martinez has a functioning face too. Of course, he can smile!”

“No, I mean, he really smiled. It’s true!”

“Of course, it’s not true. Be careful that Mr. Martinez hears you. He’ll cut your head off.”

“I mean, Mr. Martinez’s smile was creepy before and there must be something wrong when he smiled.

But just now, he smiled sincerely, just like us ordinary people. It was a sweet smile. Didn’t you see it?

Didn’t you see it?”

The man looked at people around him one by one, trying to find someone who thought like him.

The others were all silent but in fact, they all had the same feeling. They were all surprised that Dashiell smiled but his smile was so weird!

Seraphina waited for a long time but she didn’t get another reply from Dashiell. Looking at the seductive words on her phone, she flushed..

She thought, I’ve been taking bad lessons from this man. I am getting more and more unserious too.

Mia suddenly said, “What are you doing? Why are you shaking your head and sighing?”

Seraphina was too focused to realize that Mia had finished her work. Mia closed the laptop and walked over to Seraphina.

“Nothing. I’m just bored and scrolling my phone.” Seraphina hurriedly said, “Are you finished?”

Mia nodded. “Yes.” She sat down next to Seraphina and said seriously, “I sent the purchase order for the base today. I also submitted yours. Guess what?”

Seraphina asked, “What?”

Mia clapped her hands and sighed, “It has been approved. It was unbelievably smooth. I’ve been working for the company fo so long and I haven’t seen any approval so fast. It’s really too fast! This trip is too smooth!”

Of course, Seraphina knew it would be approved. “Okay.” The top boss had already known it. It was only a matter of minutes.

Perhaps Seraphina’s reaction was too flat. Mia tilted her head to the side and stared at Seraphina for a while. “Be honest with me. Is your boyfriend a manager of Apex Corporation?”

Seraphina said, “No.”

She thought, A manager? Dashiell is the CEO of Apex Corporation. Everything of Apex. Corporation belongs to him.”

“Really?” Narrowing her eyes, Mia became suspicious. “Isn’t it because of your boyfriend that we are so well treated and everything goes so smoothly? Tell me the truth. I’ll keep it a secret. You don’t trust me?!”

Seraphina felt torn. “He’s really not… a manager. Mia, it’s not the right time. When it is time, I will introduce him to you, okay?”

If Mia continued to guess who he was, she would know the truth in the end. Seraphina felt the back of her neck freezing.

It was not that Seraphina didn’t trust Mia but the more people knew about it, the more likely it would be discovered. And now, Seraphina didn’t want anyone to know it.

Dashiell was too special and his social status was too high. Seraphina could imagine what would happen if it went public. Besides, things would be bad if the Landon family. found it.

So, Seraphina had no choice but to apologize to Mia.

Mia stared at Seraphina for a while. Mia was not very gossipy. But thinking about what had happened these days, Mia thought it was weird and she was curious.

But Seraphina looked torn after Mia asked her twice. Mia didn’t want to force her to do anything. “Well, if you don’t want to tell me, it’s okay. But first of all, remember that you promised to bring him to me later! You can’t break your promise!”

Seraphina was happy to end this topic. “Don’t worry.”

Mia felt hungry after finishing her work. “Are you hungry? Let’s go out and eat!”

Seraphina thought for a while and said, “I heard that the restaurant of this hotel is nice. Why don’t we go there? I don’t have to go outside then.”

Mia thought it was a good idea. “Okay, let’s go downstairs.”

O
