Chapter 97

To Emily’s surprise, Seraphina became angry.

“No need!” Seraphina said with a serious face. It seemed that she was pis sed off.

“Seraphina, I…” Emily didn’t expect her to have a bigger reaction. She was a little confused. “I-I’m wrong.”

“Of course, you’re wrong!” Seraphina emphasized. “What do you take yourself and me for? I know that they’ll launch new products. Prosperian Company has been resting on its laurels lately, and it won’t last long if no new products are launched. But I’m not interested in the new products and new formulas!

Emily, you’ve been working in this industry for so long. You should know what to do and what not to do.

Is it legal to pry into the others’ formulas? Do you think I can’t deal with them, so I need you to act as an undercover spy?” Seraphina paused and then continued slowly, “Emily, I don’t need you to do that for me. You should come to Aroma Delight and work as my assistant.”

Emily was rendered speechless.

After being scolded, Emily was silent for a while. “I’m sorry.”

Emily realized that she was wrong. She thought it would be the best way to avenge Seraphina, but she forgot that doing so would degrade her to people like Julian and Vivian.

They stole Seraphina’s R&D results and perfume formulas. If Emily did the same thing to them, she would become the same type of person as them.

“Emily, I know you want to stay for my sake. But if you want what’s best for me, why don’t you come and help me? I recently had a fresh idea that I’m currently testing. I can’t do it alone. Also, your contract with Prosperian Company has expired automatically. Please come to work for me,” Seraphina said sincerely, pushing the contract toward her again.

Emily didn’t refuse this time. She took the contract over, glanced at it roughly, and said half-jokingly, “The salary is lower than what I earn now!”

“Are you afraid of not getting a pay rise as long as you work hard? The project commission alone is profitable enough,” Seraphina said, smiling.

“Okay, I’ll take the offer!” Emily deliberately said with a grimace. Actually, she was overjoyed in her heart.

She finally could leave that suffocating working environment, work with Seraphina, and do what she loved again.

401 It was late at night when Seraphina got home. She had been so busy recently that she often came back very late.

Fortunately, Dashiell had been busy recently. They hadn’t seen each other for several days.

When she returned to her bedroom and found that it was empty, she suddenly missed him so much.

She used to work late from home, sleep alone, and take care of herself. Even though Julian visited her occasionally, he would leave after dinner. She wasn’t feeling lonely or missing someone at the time.

Perhaps she had become accustomed to Dashiell’s company and pampering. She had gradually come to rely on him.

Seraphina took a shower, climbed into bed, and found it was nearly 1 a.m. After thinking for a while, she still sent Dashiell a message: [Will you come back today?]

Before he could reply to her, she fell asleep on the quilt.

She was so exhausted that she didn’t even notice Dashiell’s return. She also didn’t wake up when he hugged her from behind.

She rolled over and hugged him with her arms and legs as she felt someone pressing against her. Her entire body was crushed up against him.

Dashiell was speechless.

He rushed back home in the middle of the night. As a result, his wife threw herself into his arms without even opening her eyes to look at him.

He didn’t know whether to be happy or angry.

Dashiell was glad that Seraphina had taken the initiative to hug him. He was also irritated that she hadn’t recognized him. What if it wasn’t him but someone else?

“Seraphina! Seraphina…” Dashiell whispered her name in her ear.

“Shut up! You’re so noisy!” She waved her hand in disgust, her face full of impatience.

Dashiell was speechless.

Even though she said he was noisy, she still hugged him so tightly that she buried her head into his arms to block out the noise.

Dashiell wanted to say something, but he could only sigh faintly. He thought, ‘Forget it! I can talk to her tomorrow! I’m the one to blame for spoiling her!”

He gradually relaxed and fell asleep as well.

Seraphina awoke rejuvenated after a good night’s sleep. She wanted to stretch her body, but her hands and feet appeared to be pressed by someone. She was astonished when she opened her eyes.

The handsome face in front of her was Dashiell’s.

“Dashiell?” she shouted his name in surprise. “W-When did you come back?”

hern Q Dashiell opened his eyes and stared at her. He snorted, thinking he could get even with “How dare you throw yourself into a man’s arms without knowing who he is! You’re so unwary of strangers!”

Dashiell raised his hand and tapped it gently on Seraphina’s forehead. Of course, he didn’t have the heart to tap her hard. “Are there any other men in this house besides you?” she asked, covering her head with her hand.

“What if a bad guy broke in?” Dashiell asked back.

“Come on! Do you think the guards in Kingsview Villa are good for nothing? How can someone break in so easily? Not to mention that your house has a security system, Seraphina said dismissively. What he said was not even an excuse.

Dashiell was surprised. “How did you know my house had a security system?”

Seraphina had lived here for a period. She found his security system when she looked around the house. It was slightly inferior to the Landon family’s.

But it was definitely enough for ordinary people.

“I-I guessed it!” Seraphina quickly found a reasonable excuse. “I’ve seen it on TV. How could a rich man like you not install a security system at home? Otherwise, your house will be stolen already.”

Dashiell raised his eyebrows and thought she had a point.

“Should I take it that you feel safe with me?” He pulled her down by her wrist and forced her to lie back in his arms when he noticed she tried to get up.

“Dashiell, stop it. I’m going to the lab now.” She struggled to get up. If she didn’t finish the experiment, she would not feel at ease.

“You’ve been spending more time in the lab than with me lately. I’m thinking about asking the company to repossess your lab,” he murmured unhappily, putting his head on her shoulder.

Seraphina was taken aback. “Hey, boss, this is unfair! You can’t abuse your power like this!”
