Chapter 279 Escape Seraphina was utterly fed up with Orion's constant pestering.
Just in time, Sivir informed her that there was a problem with a branch office in Etopia. Without giving it much thought, Seraphina applied for a business trip.
It was the perfect excuse to clear her mind.
An hour after Seraphina had left the country, the news reached Orion. He was sitting in his office and sipping shangover tea.
""What?" Orion stood up so abruptly that he knocked over the cup and spilled tea all over an important document.
He didn't even notice the faint pain in his lower back.
"She left the country?" Ken nodded and said. "Yes, we just delivered a gift to Cross Mansion. Her brother, Mr. Justin, accepted it. He personally said that Ms. Seraphina is leaving the country and may never return." Orion's face changed drastically. She's leaving? "Where did she go? Which flight did she take?" His mind was a tangled mess. He feared her hatred, but he feared even more that she would completely cut him off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOrion decided he had to find her, even if it meant she would hate him for the rest of her life. The idea of her vanishing from his life was unbearable.
Ken's lips trembled, and he said, "It wasn't a commercial flight... it was the Crosses private jet.
Orion squinted, and his expression grew even more unpleasant.
A private jet-so she didn't want him to know where she was going? It seemed she was really planning to disappear.
Panic surged through him, as if a crucial part of his heart was suddenly crumbling-away.
His jaw clenched. His gaze was cold and determined.
No: he had to find her.
"One hour. I want to know where she went!" Orion's voice was ice-cold as he looked at Ken, and he said, "Otherwise, you might as well disappear along with her.
Ken's body trembled violently, and he immediately nodded in response.

At the subsidiary of Cross Group in Frencette.
+5 Pearls Orion stood at the entrance, tall and elegant; his deep-set features were sharp and handsome. His poise and refined demeanor quickly drew the attention of many people. The receptionist approached him more than once, asking if there was anything she could help with.
Orion simply gave her a polite smile and sat down, saying, Tm waiting for someone." Under his calm and collected facade, however, was a trace of unease.
Even though he knew Seraphina was here, he couldn't just go up and confront her.
She would only despise him more.
He decided to wait for her downstairs, hoping it would look like a coincidence. She probably wouldn't believe him, but that didn't matter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOrion chuckled bitterly to himself. Since when has he becso cautious? Whatever. As long as he found her, that was enough.
Seraphina had just finished dealing with an urgent issue. The meeting had stretched into the afternoon.
The CEO of the subsidiary, Francis Estrada, was an old classmate of Seraphina's. The two of them chatted and laughed as they descended the stairs.
"I'm glad you got here in time, or it would've been a real mess," Francis said with a warm smile.
Seraphina smiled back. Her high heels clicked confidently. Her bright and assured demeanor was just as strong as anyone's. "And thanks to your cooperation."
As the two reached the first floor, they overheard the receptionist and another woman discussing something. "Who is that man waiting for? He's so handsome!" "Yeah, he's the most gorgeous foreign man I've ever seen. Too bad, I asked for his number, but he turned.
Seraphina listened to their conversation, her eyes subconsciously drifting toward the lounge area. The man they were talking about had already stood up, his deep gaze locked on her. His eyes held a complicated mix of emotions. He started walking toward her.
Seraphina clenched her teeth in frustration. This man was always haunting her, and he would never leave her alone.
