A chill hung in the air-a heavy, oppressive cold.

Seraphina had no idea how Orion ended up here, but there was no time to ponder that. She smiled and approached, extending her hand for a greeting.

"Senator Long, sorry to keep you waiting."

Steve Long was a plump man. He chuckled as he shook her hand. "Just arrived. Ms. Cross, your beauty surpasses that of any celebrity. No wonder the internet users strongly request you to debut."

Seraphina laughed lightly and said, "Please don't tease me! How could I ever compare to a celebrity? I'm just a hardworking employee!"

Steve was pleasantly surprised by Seraphina's down-to-earth demeanor, and the atmosphere became instantly relaxed.

He turned to Orion, saying, "Mr. Dros, wouldn't you agree that Ms. Cross is far more stunning than any celebrity? Her aura completely outshines those women!"

Orion's voice was low and gravelly. "Yes, that's true."

With a smile, Steve continued, "Mr. Dros arranged to meet with me in advance, but the secretary didn't manage the schedule well. I figured you both would know each other, so I brought you together. Ms. Cross, I hope you don't mind." Orion stepped out of the shadows, clad in black attire. His tall frame was striking, and his eyes glinted with an inexplicable light.

He was truly an impossible figure to ignore.

Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, I don't mind."

It was a lie; in truth, she minded deeply.

Orion smiled as he extended his hand. "Ms. Cross, it's been a while."

Since that Christmas, they hadn't seen each other. Orion felt as if it had been ages.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

This longing pierced him deeply, a feeling that was impossible to shake off.

Fortunately, just when he couldn't take it anymore, she appeared.

Despite silently cursing him a thousand times, Seraphina still managed to extend her hand politely. "Mr. Dros, it's been sometime."

Is he acting?

Without hesitation, Seraphina withdrew her hand and smiled at Steve. "Please come with me." Steve and Joseph walked ahead, while Seraphina and Orion unconsciously fell behind.

Since Seraphina was the one who orchestrated the gathering, she raised her glass for the first toast. Steve took a sip of his wine to honor her.

She downed her drink in one go, impressing everyone at the table.

Orion, however, couldn't help but frown.

Once Steve finished his drink, feeling embarrassed, he spoke directly.

No one is willing to take on the abandoned project at Eldoria Bay, despite its designation as a key A-level initiative. Even if someone is interested, given past experiences, we can't just hand it over to any random company. Why would Ms. Cross be interested in this project?" Finally, they finally get down to business.

"It's precisely because many companies have failed here that I want to revive it. I know it's a tough challenge, but if it were easy, why would I take it upon myself? My company doesn't need to prove our capabilities anymore, yet everyone in our company enjoys a good challenge."

Seraphina smiled. Steve's gaze turned serious as he looked at her.

He then glanced at Orion, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

"It seems you two have planned this perfectly; no wonder so many people have high hopes for you both. It's true that when two excellent individuals are together, they would become even more outstanding."

Seraphina's expression stiffened slightly as she turned to Orion.

"Mr. Dros is also interested in this project?"

Orion wants the same project? Why?

What a strange coincidence!

Orion's expression was cool. He smiled as his dark eyes carried a hint of amusement
