Clad in a black suit, Orion exuded an imposing and detached look. His expensive cufflinks were vaguely familiar.

His gaze lingered on Seraphina for a few seconds before he casually greeted Eden.

Eden glanced between the two and asked playfully, "No need for introductions, right? You two must be familiar with each other. Apologies, Seraphina, for not telling you in advance. Regardless of which company is our final partner, Dros Company will be involved in the project."

Facing Seraphina's confused look, Eden smiled and explained, "Since my company's inception, Mr. Dros has funded all my projects."

So that was it.

Orion could be considered a shareholder.

She hadn't expected that Orion had his eyes on the field of artificial intelligence for some time.

If Eden hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have known. His openness indicated he genuinely wanted to collaborate with her.

Though unhappy about Orion's involvement, she had to be professional and couldn't miss this opportunity.

Seraphina lowered her eyes and let out a soft smile. She said, "With Dros Company's capabilities, they could completely own the results of this collaboration. Why the need for a three-way partnership?" She raised an eyebrow, glancing sideways at Orion.

"It's a brand-new field, unexplored territory. My company cannot shoulder the risk alone."

His voice was deep and cool, with a slight smile on his lips. "Choosing Giant Group and Cross Group is the right decision. I hope for a pleasant collaboration."

He raised his elegant hand, which was holding a wine glass. Eden clinked glasses with him, and the two men waited for Seraphina.

With no other choice, Seraphina offered a cool smile. She gently raised her glass, and the crisp clink of glasses sealed the deal.

She wasn't happy, but she had no choice. Her chest felt tight with frustration.

Eden exhaled a breath of relief. Sensing the tension, he tried to lighten the mood.

"Why don't you two take the first dance? As the opening for the anniversary celebration, it would be the perfect way to announce our collaboration." Orion frowned slightly. Meanwhile, Seraphina smiled as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She apologised, "Sorry, I don't dance."

She paused for a moment, then turned on her heel, ignoring Orion's cold gaze as she walked away.

Viehf.

wain't be smooth. Mr. Dros, you might be the first to have such a messy divorce in high society." Orion's face darkened as he watched her retreating figue. His expression grew even grimmer Doesn't dance?Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Haha! Did I imagine seeing her dance in Hansen's restaurant

Suddenly, he recalled Aron's words. A sense of awkwardness replaced Orion's anger.

Maybe he really owed Seraphina.

Despite his frustration, Seraphina still maintained a graceful smile. On the way downstairs, Sivir

(approached, his demeanour gentle as he asked, "Is it settled?"

Seraphina's cold expression showed no joy in securing the deal, puzzling Sivir.

"Orion is a shareholder, and Eden insisted on a three-way partnership."

Finished.

Frozen, Sivir instantly understood Seraphina's coldness. He gently patted her head, his gaze affectionate and warm. "It's okay. Shared risk, shared benefits."

Baffled, she raised an eyebrow as she realised that Orion's concern mirrored those of Cross Group. A three-way partnership indeed had more benefits than drawbacks.

She feels a sense of relief as all her pent-up frustration disappears. She smiled and hooked her arm through Sivir's, resting her chin on his shoulder with a playful pout. "Good thing you reminded me, or I would have cursed them in my heart." Sivir burst out a chuckle. To onlookers, this affectionate scene was strikingly tender.

Orion watched from upstairs briefly as he observed them standing intimately together. Lucius clicked his tongue and sidled up.

"I heard Sivir isn't interested in women. Why is he so invested in this one? They must have some secret relationship!"
