Chapter 74
But suddenly, Seraphina’s phone rang.
Seraphina fumbled for her phone and picked it up. “Hello?”
She heard Mia’s voice. “Seraphina, I’m back. I’m buying snacks downstairs. Do you want something?”
In an instant, Seraphina came to her senses. She pushed Dashiell away and sat up, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.”
Mia said, “Okay. Were you asleep just now? I’m almost there.”
Seraphina said, “Great!” After hanging up the phone, she suddenly came to her senses. She hurriedly stood up and pushed Dashiell toward the door. “Hurry up! Mia is on the way back here! Leave now! Otherwise, she’ll see you!”
Seraphina hurriedly smoothed down her clothes, picked up Dashiell’s coat, and handed it to him. Only then did she realize that Dashiell was sitting motionless with a sullen look.
Seraphina knew Dashiell was angry,
Seraphina explained, “Well, I know it’s my bad. But there is nothing we can do. Your know nobody else should know our relationship. Besides, Mia knows you!” She coaxed him softly. What else could she do? He was the boss.
Dashiell snorted, “You sound like there is someone who doesn’t know me.”
Seraphina felt speechless.
Seraphina thought, ‘Come on. He’s so proud!
Seraphina said, “Yes, yes, yes, the whole world knows you. You are a big shot, Mr. Martinez. I know you feel wronged but could you please leave now to avoid a crisis?”
As Seraphina comforted him, she was a little anxious.
Mia said she was almost there so she was probably already buying midnight snacks downstairs when she called. Seraphina told her that she didn’t need anything so she would come upstairs very soon.
Seraphina thought she should’ve asked Mia to buy some random snacks. It might buy more time for them at least.
Seraphina wanted to urge Dashiell but she didn’t dare to go too far, afraid that he would be annoyed.
Chapter 74
Dashiell glared at Seraphina, stood up, hung his coat on his arm, and was dragged to the door by Seraphina. Seraphina said, “Leave now and I’ll contact you later! By the way, you must have also booked a room here, right? Send me your room number and I’ll come to your room when I’m free!”
Seraphina thought, ‘He is already here. According to his style of handling things, he must have booked a room here too so that we can meet each other conveniently and don’t have to waste time on commuting
After Dashiell heard Seraphina’s words, his face softened. He said, “It’s a promise!”
Seraphina said, “Don’t worry!”
Dashiell said, “You promise you’ll come to my room!”
Seraphina said, “Definitely.”
Dashiell bent down, leaned over, and pointed at his cheek. “I need comfort.”
Seraphina felt speechless.
Seraphina thought, ‘Sometimes, he acts like a little kid who needs sweet words and indulgence. She didn’t know if she should look angry or amused. She stood on tiptoe to kiss Dashiell on the cheek. Unexpectedly, before her lips touched his, he suddenly turned around and quickly kissed her lips. He straightened up and rubbed her head. “I’m leaving!”
She subconsciously covered her lips and felt his heart pounding violently. “Okay.”
She watched him walk to the elevator doors and wait for the elevator and waved goodbye to him. After he entered the elevator and the door closed in front of him, the doors of the next elevator opened. Then Mia came out of the next elevator.
Mia immediately saw Seraphina. She opened her arms and walked toward Seraphina. “Hi! Are you waiting for me?”
Seraphina became nervous. They almost bumped into each other. She smiled unnaturally, “Yes!”
Looking at Seraphina’s stiff smile, Mia tilted her head to the side and looked Seraphina
up
and down. She pointed at Seraphina and said, “You look weird!”
Seraphina said, “There’s nothing weird. You said you would come back very soon so I just wanted to check if you arrived. I have to open the door for you anyway. I have a perfect sense of time!” She mumbled a lot of words to hide her slight panic.
Seraphina took the bag Mia was holding, turned around, and walked into the room. “What delicious food did you buy?”

“None of your business!” said Mia.
Seraphina said, “Don’t be so mean!” She put the bag on the table and opened it. There was soup, cakes, and so on inside the bag. They smelled delicious and Seraphina noticed something not familiar.
Seraphina thought Mia bought so much food that she couldn’t plan to eat it alone. Though Mia’s words were harsh, she was soft inside.
Mia said, “You said you didn’t need anything. Don’t ever regret your decision!” She grabbed the fork in Seraphina’s hand but Seraphina quickly dodged her. Seraphina even said, looking disgusted after tasting some of the food, “Have you washed your hands? Hurry up and wash your hands!”
Before going to wash her hands, Mia warned. “Don’t eat my food behind back!”
my
Seraphina pulled over a chair, took out everything inside the bag, and opened the lids.
After that, Mia washed her hands and went back. Mia said. “I didn’t eat anything at the perfumery conference. The food offered by this kind of co cktail party is often very boring and gaudy, worse even than what street peddlers offer.”
Seraphina said, “You’re right. What are these snacks? I think I haven’t seen them before.”
Mia knocked on Seraphina’s fork and said in disgust. “I don’t know either. The peddler recommended them. Well, didn’t you say you wanted nothing?”
Seraphina smiled and attentively handed a snack to Mia. “Come on. I just don’t want to disappoint you! You’re so warm-hearted. I should show my respect to that, shouldn’t I?”
Mia said firmly, “No need!” Though she said so, she didn’t really mean it. They chatted while eating the food. Although Mia bought a lot of snacks, they ate more than half of them in a short time..
Mia rubbed her belly and wailed, “I need to stop! I’m going to die! I can use a shower. You clean up the table.”
“Okay!” Seraphina agreed immediately. “Go ahead.”
Mia walked toward the bathroom. “Okay.” After she took two steps forward, she seemed. to have remembered something so she turned back. “Something feels wrong.”
Seraphina looked at Mia and blinked in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
Mia looked at Seraphina suspiciously as if she was examining something. “You said you were sleeping before I called you?!”
Seraphina said hesitantly, “Yes.”

Seraphina thought, ‘Didn’t we pass that part? Why does she suddenly bring it up?”
Mia looked Seraphina up and down as she drew nearer to Seraphina. “Didn’t you change your clothes or take a bath before you went to sleep? You’ve been back for so long. Why haven’t you taken a shower yet?”
Seraphina subconsciously put her hand on her chest and screamed in her mind.
Seraphina had forgotten that she was still wearing the clothes in which she went to the venue. As soon as she entered the room, Dashiell hugged her.
Later, she totally forgot to take a shower or change her clothes!
Seraphina murmured, “I…”
Pointing at Seraphina, Mia teased her jokingly. “Huh? What were you doing before I got back? Are you hiding your lover from me, huh?”
Although Mia was only joking, Seraphina couldn’t help panicking. Seraphina said, “What are you talking about? What lover? I know nobody here. It’s my first time here. I was just too tired when I came back so I fell asleep on the sofa. You’re imagining
ridiculous things!”
