Chapter 114 - RIGGLYPUFF

"Doctor, you'll be my date tomorrow, yeah?" Seraphina brightly smile showing her cute dimples which can make one's heart flutter.

"Hmm." Liam Jin nodded tenderly.

Tomorrow is a memorable day for her so, it's natural that he would be there. Also, no one knows how he's under pressure since he broke his engagement with Nathalie. Although for some, Liam might not need to prove himself any further, however, his family specifically his old man was disappointed about the so-called 'reckless decision.'  

But how could he give up if Seraphina was doing her best to have the same ground as him?

After a minute, the peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by a phone call. When Liam felt his phone vibrating on the back pocket of his well-ironed pants, he wordlessly pulled his smartphone to see the person calling.

Seraphina glances at the caller ID and saw it was from the Jin Medical Group, she magnanimously gestures as if giving him permission to answer the call. She spoke, "Go on, I don't it."

It only took him a few minutes before the call ended. Liam slightly simpers after the phone call. His expression was too simple to understand, thus, even before he could speak, Seraphina spoke first.

"Duty calls? doctor~ now I'm worried that you're neglecting your health…"

"I'm alright." Liam reassured her as he tucks some strands of her hair behind her ear. He spoke, "Sera… I'm sorry." Liam's usual gentle tone is tainted with guilt and sadness.

Seraphina thought that he was feeling sorry about leaving earlier than he should. Their initial plan for the day is to accompany her with some matters for the grand event tomorrow. Alas, by the looks of it, the call sounds urgent and needed his presence.

"Doctor~ why are you sorry? It's fine." Seraphina sounded benevolent as she doesn't mind if Liam will ditch her again or leave earlier than always. Liam languidly scans her features as if embedding her bright smile into his memory.

"Alright." With that said note, Seraphina sends him off up to the mansion's driveway. When Liam's car sped away and becomes a small dot -- Seraphina squinted her eyes suspiciously.

At first, she thought Liam was sorry about leaving her because of his work, again. However, the way his attitude change afterward -- her instincts tells her that something was definitely wrong. Her feelings were neither worried nor troubled. to be precise, she was rather curious about what can make Liam act so distraught to this degree.

"Well, does it matter?" She murmurs. Seraphina shrugged off the matter without giving a lot of thoughts about it. After all, she has a lot on her plate right now and doesn't want to concern herself about Liam's exasperating work.

The moment she turns around to enter the family residence, Riggs disheveled appearance with a look of disbelief peered at her. Seraphina arched her brows at the investigative gaze thrown at her. She spoke irritably,

"What? I know I'm gorgeous."

"..." Riggs was about to speak his accusations, yet, when he heard her remarks, he almost choked by her shamelessness. When he regained his cool-headedness, he accused.

"Boss, how could you defile the innocent kid?!"

The corner of Seraphina's lips twitches by the unexpected accusations. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

"Kid? He's much older than me! And what's the fuzz? I'm a very beautiful single woman and I'm ready to mingle!" Seraphina sassed back.

Thankfully, no one is around so no one could hear their bantering or else, they might mistake their close relationship and would lead to a misunderstanding. After all, aside from her grandfather, Seraphina is not close to any servant working under them for some reason.

Riggs pinched the space between his brows in great distress. If it was before, he would not bother at all, but now, the situation is different. Aside from knowing that his boss is actually a woman, her whole identity could bring harm to her and everyone around her.

"eh? Don't tell me you're jealous? Huh, it's your fault for rejecting my marriage proposal!" Seraphina teased his over-reacting bodyguard. This time, it's really lucky that no one is around or else Sebastian Yue would throw a huge fit if he knew about this conversation.

"What nonsense!" Riggs defended almost immediately. He continued, "I'm just worried alright?!"

"Whatever, Rigglypuff." Seraphina as if done with her teasing, left like a bolt of lighting. The speechless Riggs that was left behind made his whole face distort.

"RIGGLY… puff?!" Riggs gasped in disbelieved. He could not believe his ear by the sudden nickname she gave him.
