Chapter 127 - cannibal

"Oh my, Director He, I think my uncle wants to exercise his knees for a bit since he hadn't workout lately, right Uncle?" Seraphina turned her head towards George Yue who was standing on her side imposing as a good role model assistant.

"Yes!" George Yue answers through his gritted teeth with her remarks. Although he felt humiliated in front of his followers -- he could only cope up with her for now since she was clearly testing his patience.

"See?" Seraphina was satisfied with his diligence. She continued.

"So, who are you calling an old man? He dares what?" Seraphina tilted her head without much change in her expression.

'She heard!' they thought in unison. Panic immediately envelop their hearts and was evident that everyone turned nervous in an instant.

"Chairwoman, we were only discussing our old colleagues." Director He was the one to come up with an excuse. Although they'd been in the industry for a long time, they clearly knew that Seraphina holds the most authority and already had the other board of directors on her back. Thus, offending her now is not the best choice they got.

"Yes, yes! Director He is right."

"We were talking about our golf session last time."

"Hehe, chairwoman, please don't misunderstand." One after another, their elderly voice filled the room, backing each other's lies. Seraphina turned her head to George Yue's direction again. Her expression was asking for his confirmation, hence, George Yue nodded.

"That's true, my niece.'" George Yue courteously responded.

"I thought you were talking about my kind Gramps. Well, since Uncle George here says it's not him -- I trust him." Seraphina graciously acknowledges their lies.

"On a serious note, I was here to give you guys a heads up that I don't need any of your gimmick for tonight's event. And your informant Riggs in on a week leave -- since he didn't let you know, I think it will be very impolite of us if I didn't inform the person covering our meals, right?" Seraphina smiled even more brightly blurting her statement.

'Their free meals?'

'That bastard!'

'Shameless! Too audacious!'

[Country X: Airport

"Good afternoon passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight XXX to Country Y. We are now inviting those passengers with small children, and any passengers requiring special assistance, to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately ten minutes time. Thank you."

"Damn, who's cursing me this time?" he mumbled before preparing himself to board his flight]

The board of directors cursed Riggs inwardly. Although they knew that this will happen since Riggs doesn't seem that trustworthy, however, the outcome is not what they expect. Their initial plan was to scare this woman's off about this industry's horrifying truth, yet it seems she felt otherwise.

She was unbothered knowing that her every move was being watched. Whether it is impressive and commendable that her attitude towards her work is unfazed and kept it professional, it's clear that the person they are constantly opposing is aware of them. Moreover, Seraphina proved that she is capable enough and was one step ahead of them.

"Well, don't feel remorse now. I just wanted to make tonight's event smooth sailing so Gramps won't have to worry…" Seraphina nonchalantly spoke while checking her nails to the speechless crowd sitting in front of her. She then straightens her back, she continued,

"If any of you still want to mess with me, well, you don't like me when I'm mad because when I lose my patience and go cray cray… I become a cannibal." Compare to her bright smile moments ago, Seraphina turns to another person with a vicious gaze and intimidating aura.

The already stifling atmosphere turned suffocating and more pressing. It was as if it became airless and make one gasp for air.

'This woman… she's not as simple as she seems to be.'

'Did she really lost her memory?'

'What is this terrifying aura surrounding this girl?'

Everyone was stunned seeing this side of her. After all, every of their encounter with Seraphina -- she only shows her smiling face, bright aura and always bear the i-am-gullible expression. Also, the fact that she clung to the Jin family connection for a start up is enough for them to judge her that the resources they got now were not because of her capabilities in the business industry but with her beauty.

Hence, no matter what the company progress now, they are still displeased and dotes George Yue even more because in the future when her beauty fades, how can the company advance even more?

Alas, now that she showed her horns and spat such unconventional threats, no matter how ridiculous they were, her expression says otherwise.

"Are we clear, my unfilial sons?" without waiting for their response, Seraphina stood up and left them all flabbergasted.

"Cannibal? That's gross with those wrinkle skins." Seraphina giggles when she left George Yue's office.
