Chapter 73 - real score

As Seraphina reads the recent sales report of Yue International --she was rather skeptical about the decreasing demand written on it. It was as if someone was suppressing their business and slowly pushing them to the edge. Even so, George Yue still pushed through the expansion of their newly established subsidiary.

Looking up for the recent doc_u_ments of their regular clients, one by one, though they kept doing business with them, the projects they are working was reducing.

She leans on her office chair, exasperated by this new information. How can her grandfather and Henry Man let this slide? Although the company still made little profits by these projects, if this continues, sooner or later, their company will make no profits at all or they'll announce bankruptcy.

Massaging her temples reducing her imaginary headache, she heavily sighs.

"Now I regret not having a legal business connection."

As Seraphina thinks of ways to salvage the current business affairs, an audible 'ting' notifying a message was heard. There was not a bit of curiosity was seen on her as she only had Liam and her grandfather have her private number. Ignoring the message, she informed Henry Man to relay a word on her Grandfather to not wait for her which he immediately executed.

She was too immense working and studying the current business affairs of their company --not aware of the passing time.

A light knock coming from the door is still not enough to disturbed her as she completely ignores her visitor. As the door slightly opened, Liam Jin smile tenderly seeing her solemn expression while working. Although her appearance was odd, he was somewhat accustomed to her peculiar ways of thought. Afraid to disturbed her, he carefully entered her office and sat at one of the comfortable sofas inside.

He amusedly watched his occupied love busy typing whilst reading some doc_u_ments. Just seeing her already washed away his tired mind from work. Although it was surprising that Seraphina suddenly initiates to work into their company, knowing her 'reasons' as Sebastian Yue tattled about it and even requested him to pick her up from work made surging ripples of emotions on his placid heart.

"Aiya! Doctor, what should this CEO Sera will do?" Liam was startled when she let out a frustrated complain. He thought that his presence was gone unnoticed yet she just deliberately ignored him.

However, he fully understood her action. He elegantly took strides in front of the desk table, leaning closer to her as he adoringly patted her head. As if she was reminded of something, Seraphina stood up then showed-off her business attire.

"This is businesslike Sera. Do I look majestic enough?" anticipating for compliments as she has not gotten over the 'praises' she receives the whole day.

"You do." though her old-fashioned style only conceals her real beauty, she was still undeniably captivating.

"I knew it! Why are you here by the way?" Seraphina inquired as she arranged her desk, preparing to leave.

"I came to pick you up." he gently answered.

"Ohh… alright then." she meekly replied as if she didn't expect it.

On the elevator, employees that they passed through were stunned silly seeing the elegant man with the future chairwoman. Liam Jin's reputation that even normal employees like them still recognized the genius young doctor and the face of Jin Medical Group.

After all, he was one of the country's pride to have a successful doctor at a young age. Not to mention, the biggest and most influential hospital in country X was the Jin Medical Group. But why is he with the future big boss? As they respected both their status, no one dares to join the elevator ride with them.

"Isn't that Dr. Liam Jin of Jin Medical Group?!"

"Oh gosh! He was much handsome than in pictures."

"Is he our future big boss's boyfriend?"

"What?! I don't think so! Maybe they're friends?"

A lot of speculations gossiped that night yet no one really knows what the real score between them. On the other hand, the idling bodyguards were displeased as they waited for her yet she ditched them and hitch a ride with Liam Jin.

Liam and Seraphina didn't head straight to the Yue Family mansion, instead, he took her to dinner to make up with her. Although Seraphina thought that there's no need for that, but thinking of the greater cause -- why would she reject?

"Having a hard time on your first day of work?" Liam inquired as he habitually puts pieces of dishes on her plates, again.

"Ay, doctor~ should I just used my beauty to salvage our dying company?" she pouted cheekily.

"Silly," he chuckles as he slightly took off her myopia glasses revealing her alluring almond-shaped, jet black eyes.

"That's better." sounding satisfied seeing her whole flawless face. She tilted her head, looking puzzled before she spoke.

"Doctor, when did you learn how to seduce a frail lady?"

---------------

M_o_a_ns of p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e resonate at the dimly lit presidential suite as two bodies were entangled in a dance. They alternately moved into the rhythm -- slowly then vigorously, like two worlds colliding into one yet, there was a thick invisible wall that won't let her deep emotion pass through him. She c_a_r_e_s_sed his silky black hair all the way to his dampened s_e_xy neck as she tries to pull him. However, before she could do so, he roughly grabbed her wrist positioning it above her head making her winced in pain.

Disregarding his brutal action, the feeling of his hard manhood and him, being the alpha hero was so intense -- roughly hammering her insides, hitting her sweet spot overwhelmed the pain on her wrist. As both of them reached their climax, the masculine tattooed man slumped on her side -- exhausted.

Shortly after, he rests his bareback on the bed's headboard as he lit a cigarette. Marga was hugging his waist, satisfied with their exercise moments ago. Her good mood didn't take long as the man spoke.

"How was she?" his flat and void of emotional tone was as though he was not inquiring, instead, commanding her to report.

"Darling, can we not talk about her?" she tries to seduce him once again attempting to divert his attention. As Marga leaned closer to him, alas, she only to receives the exhaled smoke from in between his lips. Without a second delay, the man grabbed her neck --choking her.

Seeing his majestic profile with a demonic amused smile on his face, Marga was frightened out of her wits. Behind this perfect built man -- a pure demon king resides inside him. Regardless, she wanted him to love her but his interest was occupied by someone else.

As she starts to lose consciousness, the man releases his tight grip. Gasping for air, she unconsciously checked her neck in relief while letting out a series of coughs.

The man c_a_r_e_s_sed her jaw up to her chin as he slightly lifted it up to meet his gaze. He wordlessly looked at her delicate features and a glint of dismay flashes on his eyes.

"You now look just like her, my dear. But keep in mind that you'll never be her." his word was like sharp daggers piercing through her heart.

What is so good about her that everyone just favors her?

The majestic looking man let go of her chin as he stood up. He stopped in front of the floor-length window -- peering at the vast ocean view under the illuminating light of the crescent moon. Marga momentarily collected her composure then stared at his broad, n_a_k_e_d, masculine back filled with tattoos.

"She's dating someone else. She liked him to the extent of having the same footing as him. Can't you see? Don't you believe me that she really lost her memory?" she scoffs trying to anger the man but instead, the man in front of her let out a dazzling enthrall chuckles which left her in a daze.

His laughs were so melodious; it was enchanting and could make one listen to it every minute of every day.

"My dear wife, she's too naughty as always…How can I interrupt her if she's busy arranging her chess pieces? I'll let her play and have fun for a while." He cooly stated.

Marga was mildly surprised by the sudden endearment he spokes off. She couldn't discern the meaning behind his complex words and the subtle gentleness on his voice.
