Chapter 118 - expertise at its finest!

"Boss, I should call you my idol. Your lack of professionalism reached its peak!" Riggs commented with full of enthusiasm.

When Seraphina heard his so-called 'compliment', the corner of her lips twitched.

'Bro, I think you have a problem with how you see the world.' she thought, yet, Seraphina constraint herself from being distracted. When they are about to reach a certain dining room, coincidentally, the group of people walking on the hallway opposite her caught her attention. Seraphina smiled towards the familiar face.

When the man leading the cl_u_s_ter of men in suit, he slightly bows approximately one meter away from her standpoint.

"Miss Yue, nice to meet you, again. I apologize for being late." Thomas Yang politely greeted. The men behind him bowed in unison as a greeting as well.

"Oh, don't be. I only waited 30 minutes but I don't mind." sounding magnanimous as ever, Seraphina spouted her lies right off the bat. Riggs who's listening to her barefaced lie made his brows twitch.

'Uh, boss, do you think they are born yesterday to not see your lies?!'

Thankfully, Thomas Yang was given a heads-up from his boss about Seraphina's antiques. Although it was obvious that she also just arrived, it seems this woman is much harder to deal with than he thought. Regardless, Thomas Yang gestured her politely to go inside the private dining room first.

"Miss Yue, shall we?"

"Sure. thanks!" Seraphina heartily went inside the said room. As soon as they got inside, Riggs whispered at her.

"Idol, it seems it's not lack of professionalism but expertise at its finest." Riggs complimented with a wink and a thumbs up once again. Riggs thought that she did this on purpose knowing that the people she was meeting came from the top socialite.

Moreover, he was well-informed that she was about to extort a hefty amount of money from this company that is why he's been leaving brownie points ever since --hoping that he can get a bonus from all his hard work.

"shut it." Seraphina gave him a quick glare before sitting on one of the chairs around the table. Soon after, Thomas Yang sat opposite her without the men he was with earlier.

Riggs, on the other hand, was standing at the corner of the room silently. By the looks of it, he seemed to be in his character.

There was a momentary silence that envelope around the grand surrounding. Thomas Yang spoke,

"Before we proceed on our main concern, Miss Yue, I wanted to sincerely apologize about the incident last night. My master is truly grateful     to you, so, he wanted to give you an extra billion to show his sincerity." Thomas Yang spoke plainly as if he was merely giving a candy.

Riggs and Seraphina's eyes instantly lit up hearing another billion was involved.

Riggs thoughts: 'Dang! I didn't know being hit by a car is a great business opportunity!'

The hand that was propped on her chin, while she lightly taps her index finger on the other hand. She raised her languid gaze to meet Thomas Yang earnest eyes. Seraphina looks indifferent on the surface, alas, although the offer was tempting -- there is another reason why she met them today.

"Alright..." Seraphina agreed. Hearing her answer, Thomas Yang's lips curled upward. However, his smile did not reach his ear. It's the kind of expression that Seraphina normally see in every gathering or meeting around those cunning businessmen which she was waiting to see.

"The incident last night is settled, then." Thomas Yang slipped a cheque from inside his suit then laid it on top of the fancy table. He then slid the cheque to Seraphina who hadn't changed her laid-back expression from the beginning.

Glancing at the up-to-date cheque, Seraphina finally grin. She shifts her eyes from the cheque to Thomas Yang's deadpan expression. She spoke,

"Settled… Alas, the 30 minutes waiting made me a huge loss. Mr. Yang, you clearly know that time is money and I believe you already investigate me." Seraphina openly states her intention.

Her initial thought of why she purposely came late was to show these people that it was not her who needed them. Alas, since the other party deliberately wants her to bend, she might as well reap all the benefits she could. Thus, her improvise plan came in a whim.

Thomas Yang's was stunned for a moment before his brows twitch involuntarily. He did a great job concealing his disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e with all her sham from the start. Alas, who would have thought that this woman in front of him had a maximum level of shamelessness?

'Miss grandaunt, are you for real?'

Just as this moment, the door was mildly opened before a sensational chuckle reached their ears. Turning their attention to the intruder, Thomas Yang abruptly stood up then bow respectfully.

"Second young master!"

"I know you'll say that." Alexander Han gaze landed directly on Seraphina's odd appearance caused by the myopia spectacles and her overly arranged low-bun.
