On the elevator lift, Henry Man kept on glancing at the seemingly homeless girl in front of him. Surely, Seraphina Yue does things she wants disregarding her status and reputation. After all, she is not just the young miss of the Yue family but the chairwoman of the Yue International Enterprise that she claims to be an empire in a year.
Sensing his constant glimpses from behind her, Seraphina gazed on the floor number above the lift then she uttered. "Stop judging me, Mr. President."
"I am not, chairwoman." Clearing his throat, Henry Man replied as he tugged his business suit and raised his gaze on the floor numbers of the elevator lift. Alas, realizing that the floor she pressed is one floor below her office -- his brows knitted in confusion.
However, even though he was curious, he didn't dare ask as it was obvious that she wanted to visit George Yue. It's where his office located after all. Hence, it was an easy guess. Alas, the question is, what's so important to discuss with George Yue that Seraphina didn't even properly dressed up.
Hearing the ting sound of the elevator indicating that they've arrived, Seraphina wordlessly started taking strides to George Yue's office; just as what Henry Man concluded. Without even knocking, Seraphina roughly opened its door catching George Yue and other board of directors having a tea party, again.
Flinching by the rude intrusion, the old men inside flinched as their heads turned to the opened door. Seeing Seraphina and her clothes, a glint of disgust about her unprofessionalism flashed across their eyes.
Even so, they still stood up and slightly bowed their heads to Seraphina who had a smug, provoking grin on her face. Walking straight to George Yue's seat, she grinned even more.
"Thank you, Uncle." referring that George Yue automatically stepped aside and gave up his seat, probably because he knows she will humiliate him even further. Putting his bandaged injured hand that he inflicted last night from Seraphina's brutal action behind him, alas, Seraphina still deliberately mentioned it.
"What happened to your hand, Uncle?" Seraphina inquired as if she doesn't have any idea where and who did it to him which made George Yue tighten his jaw. Still, since he had a glimpse of Seraphina's true nature, George Yue forced a smile on his face. After all, he cannot view her as a dumb ignorant girl anymore.
"I had an accident."
"Oh, be careful next time." Seraphina slowly nodded and spat her pretentious concerns which she deliberately showed her fake concern. Shifting her gaze to the few board of directors that were avid supporters of George Yue, she charitably smiled.
Guessing what's on their mind, Seraphina explained. "I happen to mess clothes so I don't have a choice but to changed into these. Fret not, it's still your righteous chairwoman. I didn't lose my mind yet." pausing, Seraphina raised her brows in delight. She resumed,
"If only my uncle weight no importance to me, I won't bother to rush my way here." indirectly saying her intention, alas, George Yue understood the very meaning behind her words -- she won't let him loose and give a headstart.
The board of directors nodded in understanding bearing their contemptuous smiles and restrained themselves from uttering heedless thoughts and inquiry. They were already well-informed of what she had done to George Yue's hand which frightened them out of their wits.
"As I said the last time, here, in this very room and you on your seats -- halt your schemes on my event but, it seems that your ears malfunction, eh? So tell me, aside from my kind and caring Uncle, who among you are his accomplice about the drug he planted on my drinks?" Not going around in circles, Seraphina spat as her eyes turned perilous scrutinizing their reaction.
To her surprise, everyone was stunned silly that was too evident to fake. Hence, she was slightly appeased as she knew that George Yue worked alone on the drugging part. Alas, that doesn't mean they were aborted from suspicion about other things.
"Chairwoman, what are you talking about?" Henry Man seating near her was the first to snap from his shocked. He was too appalled that Seraphina was been drug on her own event, what more, the chaos happened that very night was too coincidental to disregard. Is that the reason why she was missing in action for a few days?
"Oh, Mr. President, right, you didn't know. My uncle drugged me some special aphrodisiac and put a contract with my head -- meaning, any second, my head will blast." Though her words and situation was undoubtedly horrifying and life-threatening, Seraphina announced it like she won a lottery. After a pause, Seraphina grins seeing them gasped in disbelief. Of course, they are doubtful if the words she uttered were facts or just slandering George Yue.
Hence, everyone including Henry Man shifted their disbelief gazed towards George Yue who was stupefied by Seraphina's unrestrained information. Though these board of directors wasn't as righteous as they seem to be, alas, what they can't believe is George Yue messed up big time by getting caught that very instant.
Henry Man, on the other hand, was rendered speechless by Seraphina's dangerous situation. He couldn't find the words to say as he didn't know until now that her life is on danger if Seraphina didn't tell them. Moreover, her few days disappearance didn't let him a chance to have a talk to her as no one can contact her. The reason why they didn't report it to the police is because Wren Tanaka reassured them that she had to deal with something.
"Don't worry. It's not just me but also my Uncle." Seraphina let out a heavy sighed as if she was disheartened about her Uncle's situation. Indeed, though Seraphina didn't put an order for George Yue's head, she can do it anytime. Just one more push and she will deliver him to his doom.
However, her words were taken the other way as everyone assumed that Seraphina put a price on George Yue's head. George Yue unconsciously clenched his hand that was resting on his l_a_p into a fist.
"Ni-- Chairwoman, what do you mean that my life is also in danger?"
"Huh? Is it not?" Seraphina tilts her head as she shifts her attention to George Yue. She continues, "I already discussed the irregularities of the cash flow report last night, didn't I? I said I will thoroughly investigate the matter and found some fun stuffs." Grinning mischievously, Seraphina twist her words just like what she wants.
Hearing her statements, the few of directors who know what she was talking about panicked inwardly. After all, though they don't have any idea about the drug and bounty on Seraphina's head -- they do know about the corruption happening inside the Yue International Enterprise, and all of them had their fair share in it.
