Chapter 307
“They are back. Damn it,” was Caroline's first thought as she raised her head and saw a black-clad man on the other side where Seraphina's leg dangled.The person who spoke was at the right door at Caroline’s.Focused on Seraphina, she had not noticed their silent movement.Even before the fleeting thought of protecting Seraphina at all costs settled in her mind, Caroline could see another person through her side view, standing in front of the car.She stealthily turned her head.Are there more? Could...?She didn't move fast enough for the person behind her.The latter roughly dragged her out with her jacket.<
Chapter 306
Already picturing Adrian's face when he found out, Caroline chuckled to herself as she drove up the industrial neighbourhood.It had been so long since she had gone anywhere without an escort.The joy of being away from duty for even a few days gave her such a thrill that she let her car window down.“I will not feel guilty about it. I deserve a break,” she reminded herself firmly.She cranked up the music player, humming along to “Get Up” by Tatian.She couldn't remember the last time she took leave.She had such a backlog of leave that if she decided to call it all in, she would probably have over twelve months altogether.She knew she wouldn't, though.Some might call it pride, but Caroline was almost certain the presidency office would get turned upside down if its chief of staff was out of commission for more than a few days.She still hated the reason behind her leaving this time, but she had decided to trust another for once.“Give him until after the engagement, at least,” she
Chapter 305
By midday, Seraphina was driving out of GLENCo.Her meeting for the equipment logistics was by 2pm.She had no intention of messing things up by showing up late.She checked her watch. 12:54pm.Even if there was traffic, she would still…Her hand froze. Her ring finger was empty.“My…where?” Relief sluiced through her as she remembered she had removed it when she wanted to help with inventory earlier.She quickly parked.It's a good thing she had not gone far.Seraphina knew her new hotcake status was tied largely

Vivian sneered. “Mind your business, shrew. You still think this is your house, huh? Since when did I have to take permission from you before bringing a...friend over?”Shrew. Surely an upgrade from being called mouse. Vivian was learning.Seraphina thought cheerfully, Vivian’s barb bouncing right off her.Still, she knew Vivian was at least half-lying.Apart from the pause in her statement, Vivian would rather jump off a roof than call someone who wore last-season hand-me-downs a friend.Still, whoever it was, her father must have known they were here.Seraphina had no intention of ruining her morning with wor
Chapter 303
“Octavio?” Caroline murmured.Adrian nodded.“Ooooh,” Caroline said thoughtfully.“Ooooh nothing,” the general countered firmly. “Rio is an idiot who's only interested in wealth and power. He knows many only tolerate him because of my backing. I would rather you wrap this up sooner so you can realise you are wrong about Octavio.”Adrian could see how much the general valued the butler.Which would be so bad if the man did have something to do with this.Adrian supposed it was a good thing the general didn't know the extent of his investigation then.He nodded to the general's words. &ldqu
Chapter 302
It had been the general's idea.As he slathered his toast with honey jam, Adrian didn't hate the idea any less now than when it was suggested.He had specifically called Seraphina that morning to ask if the rider had brought back the invitation.He was hoping he had.Instead, Seraphina merely responded, “No, he didn't. Maybe they'll like to attend.”As if. Adrian snorted.The only reason they might want to attend was if they could ruin something for him.Damned if he would give them the chance to try.“Still salty about the invitation?” the general asked with a chuckle.Adrian gave him a look as he responded, “Apparently they want to attend.”“See? If there's anything I have learnt from my...well, it's that second chances are not overrated,” General Charles said.“Second chance. That's what the idiot who pulled this wouldn't get. Have we found someone?” Caroline asked, gesturing with a bread knife.She had just arrived that morning, just before they sat down for breakfast.After she h
