Chapter 138 - misleading

Liam assisted Seraphina when she came down from the stage. On the other hand, Henry Man was waiting for her. While the relentless clamoring still resonated across the hall, she was unbothered as she bears her bright smile.

"Where have you gone?" Liam inquired with his usual tender tone.

"Restroom." Just as she answers, a group of board of directors was approaching her. The moment they got neared her standpoint, they bombarded her with inquiries and complaints.

"Chairwoman, what's the meaning of this?"

"Madam Chairwoman, please give us a reasonable explanation."

"Madam, please give this matter more time to think!"

And more same questions were thrown at her. Seraphina raised her hand gesturing them to stop which they adhere immediately. She spoke,

"Directors, my blessed board of directors, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Please refrain yourselves for now. We are surrounded by important people… please don't embarrass me." Seraphina indifferently answers whilst smiling. She continues,

"Well then, please greet Mr. President Man."

The board of directors who sided with Seraphina and the one who did not reluctantly bowed and congratulate Henry Man who's standing almost behind her. She was evidently satisfied by their obedience, thus, Seraphina excused herself to greet her other guest.

"Let's go, darling." She turned her head to Liam as she clung her arm to his. This is the first time she's being intimate with Liam in public, thus, the busybodies employees who're seeing this couldn't help but gossip.

"Woooaah, our big boss surely caught a big fish!"

"Ugh! My dream doctor… I think there's something wrong with his eyesight."

"Hey, someone might hear you."

"So, it's true that they're dating?"

"The prince doctor surely doesn't look at appearances."

Alas, they're mumbling were like air as Seraphina and Liam occupied themselves with the guest. When they reached a certain group of businessmen, they instantly congratulate Seraphina.

"Congratulation, Chairwoman Yue."

"Madam Chairwoman is indeed Chairman's kin!" Mr. Tang heartily said. The way he comfortably mentions Sebastian Yue showed their good relationship.

"Thank you, gentlemen." Seraphina bowed slightly as she showed her respect to them as well. Then, she introduces Liam Jin to them for formality. Although she already knew that they are all familiar with Liam Jin, she still did.

"Chairwoman, even if you didn't dress up, your beauty shines the brightest." Wren mischievously greeted. He reached out for her hand and just what he greeted Marga earlier, he left a peck on the back of her hand.

Although Liam was silently smiling and unfazed, an indiscernible glint flashes across his eyes seeing Wren's intimate action. Alas, his gentle front was not easily broken. In his mind, Wren Tanaka came from overseas, thus, this way of greeting might be normal for him. Also, Seraphina spent her later years abroad.

"Haha! I heard Mr. Tanaka have a good relationship with Madam Yue?" Mr. Tang pried. His ins_e_n_s_i_t_i_v_e words obviously disregarded Liam's presence. No one knew what he was up to but, it's clear that he enjoys it.

"Hehe. Chairwoman is my good friend. She helped me a couple of time when we were at country y. If it wasn't for Sera, I'm afraid my company isn't what it is, now." Wren blissfully explicates -- emphasizing Seraphina's name to establish their good relation.

Regardless of Mr. Tang's intention, getting along with Mr. Tang's words is like hitting two birds with one stone. Thus, he lifts Seraphina's chair once again and gave off a little of their shared past. He didn't care if it'll lead to a misunderstanding. He continued.

"Right, Chairwoman Yue?"

'This hoodlum… is he trying to get back at me because I disturb his vacation?' Seraphina slightly arcs her brow as she spoke.

"Huh, Mr. Tanaka thinks too highly of me. Alas, it's true. After all, I'm a better businessman than him." Seraphina spoke agreeably. Though her words were offending, Wren kept his cool.

"Chairwoman, please don't tease me like that. I'm a vulnerable man and can get easily swayed by a competent lady."

'This boss! Really shameless! Too shameless!' Wren protest inwardly, yet, his words and expression say otherwise.

"Too bad, Mr. Tanaka. I'm engaged." Seraphina leaned her head to Liam's shoulder showing her affections.

'Huh, you sc_u_m. I'm more shameless than you! You can't compete with me!' Seraphina slightly arcs her brows as she silently ridiculed Wren's schemes.
