Chapter 110 - something to brag about

[The day before D-Day]

The Yue International Enterprise was rather bustling. Each employee had to work double time because currently, aside from the fact that the company's transaction gradually multiplied since Seraphina started working as the acting CEO. Tomorrow's monumental event about the official introduction of the new head of Yue International Enterprise causes a huge uproar because all employees from top to bottom were allowed to join the grand event.

Although the company's progress satisfies the majority of the board of directors especially the chairman, alas, George Yue and his chosen few felt otherwise. That is why some of them tried sabotaging her, however, Seraphina as if predicted their plans -- put a high security on every internal department catching every man they sent. Even so, they still haven't heard anything from Seraphina about their misdeeds. Instead, she always shows her diligent professionalism.

[Inside George Yue's office]

George Yue and a few of his followers had a grim expression on their faces. Although Riggs as promised worked under them and diligently throwing information about Seraphina's plans. Alas, to their surprise, every information they got from Riggs were useless because her arrangements turned out to be utterly flawless. Unconsciously, they felt rather excited about the company's future endeavors.

"Sir, what should we do about the woman? It seems it's harder to take her down that easily." an old man in his tidied suit spoke his mind. Right after he states his concerns, other board of directors also chimed in.

"Who would have thought, that woman is honestly impressive!"

"I heard that she had a secret meeting with other directors. Sir, she must have been plotting something." one of the old fellows hissed.

Primarily, aside from that, they doted on George Yue as the next Chief Executive Officer -- the main reason they don't approve Seraphina is that they don't want to let this spoiled brat with no knowledge, and no qualification about business affairs to be the next leader of Yue International Enterprise. To top it all off, she also had amnesia.

"Sir, maybe we really just underestimated her." Another man who's in his late early 40's mumbled on the side.

The way they view Seraphina improved a little --even though they don't daringly express it. But their resolute starts to waver

After all, the moment she's been given her break, she did impress everyone including George Yue. Even though he doesn't want to admit it, but the result is slapping him whenever he sees the production and every department being too occupied. Moreover, Seraphina was not vying his current project about the jewelry Industry which made him relieve somehow.

George Yue who's immense in his thoughts was pulled back to reality when a sudden idea pops on his mind. One of the old men brown-nosing voice was heard, "Sir, what should we do?"

"We'll do nothing for now. You don't have to worry, in the future, we'll always have a chance to strike her and when that time comes, there's no Sebastian Yue protecting her." George Yue reassured. He continued,

"I'll let her fly even higher so that her landing alone could give her an instant death." George Yue smirk with a glint of contempt flashes across his eyes. Hearing his words, his followers also smirks and somewhat felt relieved. Indeed, they only needed to wait for the right time for them to strike.

Meanwhile, on the Yue Family Mansion; inside Sebastian Yue's study room:

The satisfying scritch sound of the pen as Sebastian Yue signed the last doc_u_ment -- for him to successfully transfer his shares to Seraphina resonates across the four corners of his study room. After his pen stops on the last loop of his signature, he raised his head and turn his gaze on the right side of the table where Seraphina was sitting. He tenderly smiled but said nothing before shifting his eyes towards the person sitting in front of his beloved granddaughter.

"Thank you, Atty. Jang. I hope you don't mind the short notice." Sebastian Yue's elderly humble voice broke the silence. The man called Attorney Jang smiled back before slightly bowing his head. He spoke,

"I don't. It's my p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e, Chairman Yue."

Sebastian Yue slowly stood up and held his hand out for a handshake which Atty. Jang accepted politely whilst bowing down.

Aside from Seraphina, Henry Man was also present. They both stood up when they saw Sebastian Yue and Atty. Jang shakes their hand.

Not long after, Atty. Jang left to tend to some matters leaving Seraphina, Sebastian Yue and Henry Man on the silent room. Sebastian Yue held Seraphina's hand, he spoke.

"Seffy, you are now officially the head of Yue International. I trust you, always. I know you'll do your best to uphold my and your father's legacy…" his sentiments swirled a lot of emotions. His elderly voice slightly cracked as he continued,

"I'm so proud of you, Seffy. Konrad and Aaliyah must be proud too. As for your Grandmother --at least there's something I can brag about if we ever meet again. Haha!" Sebastian Yue humored as he pats her head lightly.

However, his seemingly normal joke pricks the depths of Seraphina's heart. It reminded her of the occurrence last night. Regardless of the heavy rock weighing her heart down, Seraphina forced a smile on her face. She sassed,

"that's the spirit, gramps!" she chuckles sounding ignorant about the message behind her grandfather's words.

Henry Man on the side kept his stoic face witnessing the difference of how Seraphina treated Chairman Yue and the others including him. He's always been an observant in this family and knew that even though the Yue family held a respectable status -- away from the usual inheritance family drama and scandals, however, since Seraphina took part in the company, the once masked family members slowly unveiling their true colors and intentions; George Yue for example.

With all the years Henry Man spent accompanying Sebastian Yue, he could tell that Seraphina took after her grandfather, a lot. Henry Man and Sebastian Yue knew that George and the others are conspiring behind the Chairman's back, yet, probably Sebastian Yue turned a blind eye to it and been too lenient to them.

Sometimes, he can't help but think what was going on inside the old man Yue's mind and why is he letting George Yue, his adopted son do whatever he wants.

Nonetheless, all he could do was be a loyal servant to the person he owes his life. And now, with his granddaughter too.

The harmonious atmosphere inside the study room broke by a light knock on the door.

"Come in," Seraphina answered first before Henry Man could even speak. After receiving permission to enter the room, a woman in her late 40's entered. She bowed towards them before delivering a message,

"Young Miss, the young master Jin is here."
