Chapter 74 - wait for the D-day

One month had passed since Seraphina started working in Yue International. She already got accustomed to the basic life of the busy corporate world. Although the past month was a bumpy ride since the cunning old men from the board always tries to stir trouble for her, yet, she was unfazed and let them all off as she waits for the D-day.

In the span of one month, their sales gradually improved as she shamelessly used her beauty trap to make a deal with Jin Medical Group for their another establishment. Of course, she wouldn't let the opportunity slide just like that. She squeezes all the benefits she could reap, so, she also got their recommendation to the associate company of the Jin family.

Since Seraphina's performance was unexpectedly admirable and her unwavering concentration made Sebastian Yue's worries vanished. Indeed, his granddaughter has a knack on almost everything, thus, he decided to turn over all his shares to her.

As if she was reminded of something, she pressed the telephone connecting through Henry Man's desk.

"Get Riggs over here." she concisely asked. Shortly after, a light knock was heard and without further ado, Riggs entered her humble office.

"Ay, mother theresa~" he humored the moment he saw her ridiculous neatly low bun and her shrunken eyes through the myopia glasses. Also, she was too well-behaved and overly kind towards the people that always stirs trouble for her; If he doesn't know any better, he'd fall for her trap.

"Where is she?" she inquired. No one knows that Riggs might be the busiest person on her side with all the task she had given him. He scratches his temple as he reports.

"Ah, that, yesterday… at Glorious Hotel--"

"Good." as she says so, she languidly stood up and grabbed her coat preparing to leave.

"Ay, boss --" Riggs was about to ask if he could tag along but seeing her too natural glance, he unconsciously shut his mouth. After all, she was suspiciously dangerous whenever she's being too normal just like when she unleashed the beast on her; Or to be precise, she's just a deadly being.

"Go for a walk." Seraphina said before she departs. Riggs was oblivious about her last note.

'What does she mean?' Although he didn't take her words to the heart, he still unintentionally roam around the premises. Since his boss left him and Ace was assigned to Chairman Yue in exchanged for Henry Man, hence, he doesn't have any job to do except finding something worthwhile.

'Damn Uno, how can you be so lucky?' he scoffs inwardly imagining Ace who might be sitting comfortably while sipping a cup of tea at the Yue Mansion.

As his feet dragged him aimlessly around the establishment, he was frustrated that there was not anything interesting gossip around the employees. Not before long, he bumps into George Yue --Seraphina's uncle. Riggs was not in the mood but George Yue's invitation piqued his interest.

"You are my niece right-hand man right? Will this gentleman accept my invitation for a cup of tea?" George Yue courteously invited him. Although Riggs deliberately disregarded him and didn't show any respect towards him. There was not a bit of disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e on George Yue face. He retained his pretentious smile which was rather commendable, thus, since Riggs was bored, he knowingly smile and follow suit.

'Let's see what he have to say.'

On George Yue's elegant and cozy office, his secretary served them a cup of tea before he signaled him to leave. Riggs shamelessly find himself a seat as he relished himself with the aromatic and soothing refreshment. He didn't utter a word as he anticipates for George Yue to speak his intention.

"I've heard that you are Seraphina's true right-hand man?" he probed neutrally just to set the mood.

Riggs contemplated for a moment, Seraphina basically acted that she only trust him and sometimes would look secretive about something but in actuality, she was only being a narcissist as always. However, in these people's eyes, they see him as her right-hand man.

"Ey, Boss Yue thinks too highly of me. I'm just young Madam's errand boy. Nothing special." Riggs honestly answered, yet, his tricky gaze and cunning smile tells the man in front of him otherwise. George Yue amusedly laughed at his response. This man seemed not an easy man. Knowing Chairman Yue, of course, he would never put just anyone on his beloved granddaughter's side, alas, in retrospect, anything can be bought.

"Mr. Riggs, you are indeed not just anyone… but, it's a shame that someone like you don't work under me." George Yue sounded disappointed as he obviously studies his reaction if he understood what he was implying. Riggs arc his brow as if his interest was piqued before he smiles, he spoke.

"Boss Yue, I'm a simpleton so I don't quite understand what boss Yue's implying." he probed further.

"I am offering you a job -- why not work for me instead?" cutting to the chase, he bluntly delved into the matter. Out of nowhere, a thick brown envelope was laid on the small table.

Seeing the bribe money, Riggs finally showed his full interest when he saw how thick it was. George Yue smirked seeing him glittering just seeing the small amount of money.

'Indeed, humans are greedy.' he thought.

"So, will this gentleman here interested in what I am offering him?" George Yue humored.

"You want me to be your spy?" Riggs shamelessly reached for the money and made a quick glance inside.

"Mr. Riggs, you are indeed a straightforward person… I just want her to make a huge mistake." implying that if she had a mishap before the official transfer of shares -- a great and huge mistake, to the point that she'll lose all credibility to be the head of the Yue International, alas, that will only happen if he knows her plans.

Riggs, of course, was delighted with his words, however, his excitement and anticipation behind his eyes were indiscernible.

They both stood up then made a handshake to seal the deal. Although in status, Riggs should respect George Yue in any way, he acted as if they were on the same ground level. Regardless, George Yue didn't mind as he sees him as a proud person and an important person on Seraphina's side.

Also, the results of his investigation about the people working under Seraphina was too normal that made him more suspicious. Despite that, he also believes that humans are greedy and money talks solve it all.

As Riggs left George Yue's office, there was a subtle smirk formed on the corner of his lips. As he slips the thick-brown envelope inside his suit pockets, he thought.

'Ay, my boss is too scary. She used me again without me knowing. Geeze, these people are digging their own graves.' He sighs pitying the ignorant old fellows.
