You're Too Kind

Though Seraphina was delighted to see a familiar face, she was too busy to joke around with Hansen.

She hadn't forgotten her purpose for coming to this club.

"Alright, Hansen, I need to excuse myself," she said.

Seraphina stood up and continued her search for Julia,

Hansen grabbed her wrist and asked, "Where are you going? Can't you chat with me?"

Seraphina sighed helplessly and said, "I can't. I have things to do. I'll leave soon."

Hansen reluctantly let go of her wrist, not wanting to miss this chance to get close to her. He said, "I'll wait for you and drive you home later."

"I drove here.

Hansen insisted, "Then you can drive me home."

Leaving the banquet hall, the corridor was quieter, though there were still people chatting. As she reached the corner, she heard someone mention her name.

"Exactly. She should look in the mirror. Someone like her is only fit to be a hooker. No man with a decent background would marry a woman who can't stay faithful even after a divorce."

Seraphina paused and arched an eyebrow. It was ironic how she was always the centre of attention.

Smirking, she was about to confront these women when a familiar, pitiful voice interrupted.

"I can't help it. I have no background and can't please men. No matter how capable or hardworking I am, I can't compare to Mr. Cross's lover." Julia?

"You're too kind, Julia. If it were my company, I'd crush that woman. How dare she act so brazenly?"

You're Too Kind

Seraphina clicked her tongue and smiled. She stepped back and called Hansen, saying, "Do me a favor. There's something in my bag...

"Seraphina, what a coincidence," Julia said with forced calmness.

"No coincidence. I came specifically for you." Seraphina smiled. She lifted the glasses, tilted them, and poured the red wine right onto Julia's head. 394
