Chapter 13
“How could they deceive me?” Seraphina said.
Then Seraphina broke away from Julian and walked to Vivian, saying, “I really want to hear it. What do
you think they have said to me?”
Facing Seraphina’s sharp eyes, Vivian looked away and said, “How could I know what they have said
to you?
“They wanted to poach you, so they must have belittled us and praised themselves. Sera…”
After a pause, Vivian seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, “Did they offer you a high
salary?”
“High salary? How much should be a high salary?” Seraphina asked.
Seraphina blinked as if she didn’t know anything.
Looking at her, Vivian felt disgusted.
That was right. Seraphina was a stu pid woman. She didn’t even know how to negotiate the salary.
How could she be working in Aroma Delight?
Someone must have manipulated Seraphina into doing what she did last night.
“Sera, I am worried about you. Don’t talk to me like that, okay? I don’t want you to be deceived!” Vivian
took Seraphina’s arm and looked worried.
Vivian was taller than Seraphina, so it was weird for her to hold Seraphina’s arm. Vivian had to bend
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdown a little bit, but she didn’t want to do that. So Vivian forcibly pulled Seraphina’s arm up, regardless
of whether Seraphina would feel uncomfortable or not.
Seraphina turned her head and looked up. Looking at this fake friend who had been with her for many
years, she regretted that she had never seen what kind of person Vivian truly was.
Seraphina was obsessed with the research of perfume making and neglected the sophistication of
relationships. She didn’t like social interactions. She had always firmly believed that only a few friends
would be enough, but she did not expect her so-called friend would treat her as a fool.
Seraphina silently tightened her arm, clamped Vivian’s hand tightly, and pulled it down. “What do you
mean? That’s how I talk to you all the time. Oh, I get it. Did you get
angry
last night when I said First Love was my work?”

Blinking innocently, Seraphina continued, “But it is indeed my work. Didn’t you say that we might lose
such an important competition? On second thought, I didn’t think I should let you take the fall for me.
But you said at the competition that it was me who stole your formula?”
Vivian’s arm was torn and a little sore. When she heard Seraphina ask the harsh question, she
panicked and immediately looked at Julian.
“Sera, at the competition yesterday, we were all angry. What we said was on impulse, and some of the
words didn’t really mean it. I believe you were in the same state last night. Let’s just forget about it!”
Julian said.
Then Julian patted Seraphina on the shoulder and said softly, “Do you know that Vivian and I looked for
you all night because you didn’t come back? Why didn’t you talk to us? You are so naive that I am
afraid you will be used by someone.”
“Have you been looking for me all night?” Seraphina chuckled and turned to face Julian. At the same
time, she forced Vivian to turn around with her.
Vivian’s arm was twisted so painfully that she shouted, “Sera, my arm…”
“What?” As if Seraphina didn’t notice it until then, she slowly loosened her arm and let Vivian pull her
hand back. “Sorry, I didn’t notice that your hand was here,” Seraphina said ironically.
Vivian frowned and felt that Seraphina was implying something.
Ignoring Vivian, Seraphina continued to say to Julian, “But if I remember correctly, Ms. Garcia passed
out yesterday. Was she fine so soon? Did you spend the night looking for me? I’m really sorry about
that.”
Vivian pursed her lips and smiled, hiding the anger in her eyes. “We are friends! Sera, you’ve been with
Mr. Brown for so long. You must trust each other and you can’t be fooled by others!” said Vivian.
“Why did you do that yesterday? Do you know how badly it has hit Prosperian Company and Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrown? What exactly did the people from Aroma Delight say to you?” Vivian asked.
What Vivian asked was also what Julian wanted to ask most.
He wondered, ‘What the hell happened yesterday? Why did Seraphina, who had always been obedient
and meek, seem to be a different person? When Seraphina stood on the stage confidently, I almost
thought that I mistook someone else for her.
‘It was too sudden! She just popped out of nowhere and almost ruined the reputation of Prosperian
Company. If it weren’t for her value, I’d really want to kill her!

‘Did Seraphina change so greatly because she had found out about my affair with Vivian?’
He then denied it inwardly, ‘It’s impossible! If she found it, why didn’t she make a scene? She didn’t cry
or fight with me. It’s not like a normal woman’s reaction to such a matter at all.’
“They said…” Seraphina was about to say something.
Seeing Julian and Vivian anxious, angry, and trying to hide their affair, Seraphina only felt amused.
She originally planned to fall out with them. Anyway, Seraphina didn’t sign the contract with Prosperian
Company. So she could leave and take all her belongings away.
But Seraphina didn’t expect Julian and Vivian to continue acting in front of her.
Did they really think that she would still be persuaded by them to work for them again after what
happened yesterday?
Seraphina might not be smart, but she was definitely not out of her mind.
Seraphina dragged the ending tone, deliberately keeping them in suspense. She walked forward slowly
and lowered her head as if she was very hesitant.
