A Date?
Seraphina smiled and said. "I don't want what your gift is."
She was straightforward.
Orion's expression stiffened momentarily, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Your father said we need to have a proper relationship. Isn't it normal to exchange gifts?"
Seraphina shot him a glance and said, "Are you going to say what you came for, or should I leave?"
Orion sighed, finally giving in.
"A few days from now, Mr. Wilson is hosting a private business dinner. Miguel will be there too."
Seraphina raised an eyebrow, Miguel had made his move so quickly?
It looks like she needed to step up her game too.
""How do you know about this?" she asked.
Orion smirked and said, "Because the invitation has already landed in my hands."
Seraphina was speechless.
Finished
She felt her heart thump a little. In this project, Cross Group and Dros Group shared striking similarities, matching each other in strength and formidableness. Why would Wilson invite Dros Group and not her company? Could he have already made his decision?
Sensing her unease, little Dani tugged on her sleeve,
"Ms. Lovely, if you want to go, I can invite you."
After all, his dad was hosting the event-he could invite his friends, right?
Orion looked at Dani with a mix of amusement and disbelief at his bold claim.
Seraphina thought Dani was just trying to comfort her and didn't take it to heart.
She gave a faint smile and looked coldly at Orion.
"So, Mr. Dros, did you come here to show off?"
Orion frowned slightly and said, "I'm missing a plus-one. You could...
Seraphina put down her coffee cup and said, "No need. I'll figure something else out."
Even though being his date would be the easiest option, it would put her in a passive position, and that wasn't what she wanted.
Standing up, she let little Dani eagerly grab her hand. He said, "Ms. Lovely, I want to go play at your
house
A Date?
She ruffled his hair and agreed, "Sure."

Orion stood as well, watching Dani bounce around happily and holding onto Seraphina's hand as they left.
His hand clenched into a fist. He let the stray locks of hair fall over his cold, sharp eyes. The warmth he had tried to maintain was now replaced by inner conflic
For a moment, he truly wanted to give up the opportunity to Seraphina.
As they stepped outside, the voice of the bodyguard came through Dani's small carpiece.
"Mr. Dani, it's time to invite her to eat. You can't let a girl go hungry."
Dani nodded, still holding Seraphina's hand with a cheerful smile.
"Ms. Lovely, how about we eat something before heading home?"
Seraphina suggested, "I'll ask the staff to make something for you at home."
"No, I want to eat "He darted his eyes and said, "Ice cream."-
Seraphina couldn't help but smile at his request. He really was just a little boy.
"Alright."
Her foul mood lightened instantly. Why not entertain the kid with some ice cream before dealing with everything else?
She took him to a nearby fast-food joint. As they sat down, the server came over to take their order. She couldn't help but steal glances at Dani. "Miss, is this your brother? He's so adorable!"
Dani's expression darkened with indignation as he corrected her with a childish but serious tone.
"I'm her friend! Her boyfriend!"
Sure, he called her 'Ms. Lovely' but it wasn't because he thought of her as just some sister-he was planning on making her his girlfriend! Seraphina chuckled and said, "He'll have a kids's meal and two ice creams."
Dani pouted sweetly. Exaggerated grievances filled his blue eyes.
"I don't want a kid's meal! I'm not a little kid!"
Seraphina stifled her laughter and said, "What do you want to eat, then, boyfriend?"
Dani's cheeks flushed bright red as he nervously twisted his shirt, a thrill of excitement rushing through
him.
Oh my gosh, did Ms. Lovely just agree to be my girlfriend?
"Ladies first. You decide, he said, trying to be the perfe gentleman.

A Date?
After all, listening to your girlfriend is how you grow up quickly!
Seraphina winked at the server and signaled her to go ahead with the original order.
The server understood the hint. She found the boy's odd behavior all the more endearing.
Finished
Seraphina only had the ice cream, while little Dani devoured the rest of the meal. He was definitely growing-his appetite was impressive.
When they finished, Seraphina waved to the server, and prepared to pay.
Dani immediately stopped her. His sweet voice was full of assertiveness and rather imposing.
"When a boyfriend takes his girlfriend out, he never lets the girl pay!"
Surprised, Seraphina watched as he confidently rolled up his sleeve and revealed an Apple Watch Hermès -top-tier, with the finest band and materials.
She recognized it instantly. She purchased the same model immediately upon its release.
The price tag was hefty, easily equivalent to one of her luxury handbags. She blinked in surprise.
After paying the 80-dollar bill, Dani nonchalantly pulled his sleeve, back down.
It was becoming clear to Seraphina that Dani's father, who had shown up at her doorstep the day before, wasn't someone ordinary at all.
She asked, "Who exactly is your dad, Dani?"

She Truly Is Kind
Little Dani blinked his big eyes. He was just about to introduce himself when an urgent voice came through the tiny earpiece in his ear.
The maid said, "Don't say anything! If you did, she'll start liking your dad!"
Comparing himself to his dad, little Dani realized that aside from being young, he didn't have much else
to offer.
He couldn't allow Ms. Lovely to fall for his dad!
No way, absolutely not!
Dani clamped his mouth shut tight. His mischievous eyes darted around before he spoke.
"My dad's rich, but all his money is mine. So, you should just like me."
Seraphina couldn't help but grinned. Her heart warmed at his innocent declaration..
She guesses this boy probably came from a wealthy family.
As she was contemplating the situation, Dani's smartwatch began to ring.
It was Wilson.
Reluctantly, little Dani answered the call and said, "Dad"
Wilson's deep voice came through the speaker,
""Where are you?"
"I'm on a date with Ms. Lovely! You're not allowed to come here!"
What if Ms. Lovely liked Dad instead? Then I'd have no chance at all!
Wilson let out a low chuckle and said, "If you're not back in 30 minutes, I'll come and pick you up myself."
Going against his son seemed like a lot of fun.
Little Dani got anxious and angry, almost stomping his foot, and acted cute with his father again.
"No, no! I want to stay with Ms. Lovely!"
Just as Dani was about to end the call, Wilson cut in.
"I want to talk to her.
Grudgingly, little Dani lifted his hand. Seraphina noticed his smartwatch displayed an ongoing call.
"Is that your daddy?" She asked.
"Ms. Cross, it's me." Wilson's voice was calm and steady

"Ms. Cross, I apologize for the interruption. Someone will be to leave, feel free to lock him outside. Don't be too soft on him." Finished
ing to pick him up shortly. If he refuses
Seraphina glanced at the puffed-up Little Dani and smiled. That sounds rather cruel,"
For a boy who's only focused on sharing a bed with a girl, he's... well, a bit of a scoundrel." With that, Wilson got up.
Little Dani's eyes went wide. His face had turned a bright red. The boy cursed, "Stupid daddy!" How dare he ruin my image in front of Ms. Lovely!
Stupid daddy!
Seraphina couldn't hold back her laughter. She quickly reassured him.
"Don't be mad. I know our little Dani isn't like that."
After a bit of comforting. Little Dani finally began to relax.
Not long after, a luxury car pulled up in front of them.
A slightly chubby maid stepped out with a smile.
"Pardon the intrusion. I'm here to pick up Mr. Dani.
As the maid handed him a box of desserts, Little Dani adorably walked over.
Her eyes blink rapidly.
Mr. Dani, here are the desserts you asked me to buy.
Little Dani froze for a moment before quickly composing himself.
"Ms. Lovely, these are for you."
Seraphina accepted them with surprise and delight. They were from her favorite dessert shop.
Thank you, Dani. Be careful on your way home."
Little Dani waved his adorable hand and said, "Goodbye, Ms. Lovely!"
Once inside the car, Little Dani proudly lifted his chin
"Isn't Ms. Lovely beautiful?"
The maid couldn't help but nod. She agreed, "She's stunning. She is much prettier than those other women trying to get close to your daddy, so you better be on your guard! Little Dani's bright blue eyes sparkled. He solemnly nodded his adorable little head.

She Truly Is Kind
Meanwhile, the burly bearded bodyguard sulked in the front seat.
"I was supposed to go! I didn't even get to see her."
The maid shot him a glare.
"If you went, you'd scare Ms. Lovely!"
Little Dani nodded in agreement and said, "Exactly!"
The fierce-looking bodyguard shrank back, looking even more dejected.
Little Dani thought for a moment. His delicate and beautiful face scrunched up in confusion.
"We can't keep giving her the same gifts. We need to think about what to give her next time!"
Ralph was fiddling with his copy of 'Love Advice for Beginners
He muttered. "Hey, I was the one who came up with the gift idea."
Back at the hotel, Little Dani lazily prepared to go to bed, only for Wilson to lift him up.
"I heard you didn't turn in your homework to your teacher in Oflar?"
His voice had that signature coldness to it.
Little Dani whimpered. He clung to Wilson's leg, rubbing
chrysanthemums and a gemstone necklace.
Wilson's expression became odd, as though suppressing some emotion. The anger he had felt earlier vanished entirely. "Keep it up!"
He even affectionately patted Little Dani's fluffy hair.
If Seraphina hadn't chased Dani away by now, it would only mean one thing-that she was indeed a gentle

The Pink Princess Dress
As Wilson was about to leave, little Dani asked eagerly, "Can I invite Ms. Lovely to your party?"
The party?
Finished
Wilson frowned for a moment, and he suddenly realized it must be the business dinner he was planning.
There were fewer than five people on the guest list.
Clearly, each invite was chosen with great care.
"Do what you like. Wilson said nonchalantly.
Normally, he wouldn't allow just anyone to attend, but that woman wasn't just anyone-she was the woman from three years ago.
That changed everything.
This project had garnered worldwide attention. It demanded not just resources and manpower but a wide network of connections. Missing any one of those would doom the project to failure. Therefore, every move Wilson made was extremely cautious; even his whereabouts were closely guarded.
Still, in a country full of skilled individuals, it was impossible to stay entirely under the radar. Someone like Orion, a significant figure in the business world, was a prime example.
He could even become one of Wilson's potential business partners.
Despite Cross Group's superiority over Dros Group in nearly every aspect, Wilson did not consider that company. The reason was simple; it was mainly because Hugo had often mentioned Cross Group. Wilson detested it when his subordinates overstepped their roles and meddled in company affairs.
If Hugo crossed that line, Wilson would deal with him regardless of how many years they had worked together.
Wilson completely ignored invitations from Cross Group for several days in a row.
Lately, Seraphina had been in a bad mood. She didn't want to accept Orion's invitation to accompany him. on his date to Wilson's business banquet.
Yet, Orion showed up repeatedly and insisted that he wanted to compete with the Cross Group on equal
Terms.
Equal terms What sort of crap is that?!
If she couldn't even get her hands on an invitation, what was the point of talking about competition?
Just as she stepped out of the company, Seraphina saw Jiule Dani posing next to the van.
His delicate fare attracted attention from passersby. His bright blue eyes were as clear as the tain

When he grew up, who knew how much trouble his charming looks would cause?
Finished
As soon as the boy saw Seraphina, he excitedly ran over and hugged her leg, rubbing his face against it. He spoke in his soft, sweet voice, "Ms. Lovely, I missed you so much." Seraphina let out a helpless smile, and her heart melted.
The sudden appearance of little Dani in her life didn't annoy her at all. On the contrary, she felt an inexplicable fondness for him.
"Little Dani, I missed you too," she said, crouching down to talk to him.
She couldn't resist patting his fluffy hair, which felt lovely to touch.
Little Dani lifted a heavy box that was void of any brand labels and handed it to her.
"Ms. Lovely, would you come to the party with me today?"
Seraphina looked at him in surprise. She was clearly confused.
"A party? What kind of party?"
"Just a casual dinner. Daddy said I can invite you to join us."
"Your daddy will be there too."
For some reason, even though they barely exchanged words from their brief meeting last time, she got the sense he wasn't an easy person to deal with.
Little Dani nodded. He widened his big, round eyes and said with a grin, "And lots of other kids will be there too! I want to introduce you to all my friends!"
Dani wanted everyone to know that Ms. Lovely was his girlfriend.
Seraphina hesitated for a moment. She didn't have any other plans, and it seemed like it was just a small gathering for kids.
Moreover, it was difficult to say no to little Dani's sincere invitation.
"Alright, I'll go home and change."
Little Dani pointed to the box with delight and said, "I picked out a dress for you! When you wear it, Ms. Lovely, you'll look like a fairy. Even though Ms. Lovely is already an angel. This dress will surely make you. even prettier!" After much deliberation, he carefully selected this dress with the assistance of both the maid and the bodyguard.
Seraphina was shocked. She took the box from him. When she opened it, she was surprised to see a pink princess dress.
Should she have expected anything more from a child sense of fashion?
Her lips twitched slightly, and she was not the least surprised.

A Fateful Encounter
Though Seraphina hadn't worn a princess dress since she was seven, she didn't want to disappoint Dani. Upon closer inspection, the dress was undeniably exquisite. The stitching was delicate, and the subtle threading seemed to reflect light. When viewed from different angles, the fabric shimmered, creating at mesmerizing visual effect.
While there was no visible brand logo, it was obvious that this was a custom-made piece by a renowned designer.
Seraphina couldn't help but be impressed with it. She gazed at little Dani in awe.
"It's so beautiful."
Dani proudly lifted her chin. His face was clearly glowing with joy. The smug yet adorable expression on his face was charming.
"Of course! I knew you would love it!" Dani beamed.
Seraphina ruffled Dani's hair affectionately. Dani was struggling to open the car door. When he finally managed to do so, Dani bowed slightly like a little prince.
"Please, step in the car, royal highness."
Seraphina chuckled and stepped into the car.
The interior was lavish. Some limited-edition toys, clearly intended for children, decorated the surrounding area.
This boy truly lived a joyful life.
A partition shielded the driver cabin. Therefore, nothing was visible ahead. Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Hilton Hotel.
The surroundings were quiet, almost as if under lockdown, with barely any traffic passing through.
A bodyguard approached the entrance, ready to stop them. The moment his gaze fell on Dani, his attitude changed to one of utmost respect.
Seraphina wondered why such a small gathering required such grandeur.
Dani was bubbling with excitement. He grabbed Seraphina's hand and led her inside.
Seraphina found a room to change into her dress. The princess gown accentuated her graceful posture. slim waist, and serene but commanding aura. There was only one word to describe her-stunning!
Dani's eyes practically sparkled with admiration, unable to look away.
His hands cupped his face as his large, watery eyes gazed adoringly at Seraphina.
"Ms. Lovely, I really, really like you!"

Blushing furiously, Dani lowered his head. As the two of them walked together, they reached the entrance. to the banquet hall.
The atmosphere inside was quiet and elegant, clearly not the setting for an ordinary gathering.
From a distance, Seraphina thought she saw Orion.
Her steps faltered, and her expression changed subtly.

Who Do You Think You Are?
Little Dani stood in front of Seraphina. His tone was cold as he glared at the middle-aged man before them.
"Don't you dare be rude to the guest I invited!"
Though he was young, the way he spoke bore an uncanny resemblance to his father.
Hugo's pupils constricted slightly at the warning, as if something made him reconsider.
Clenching his teeth, he shot a frustrated look at Dani.
"Mr. Dani, how could you casually invite just anyone to this occasion? This isn't somewhere that just any stray cat or dog can join!" Seraphina scoffed coldly and asked, "Who exactly are you calling a stray?"
She spoke up directly. Seraphina never tolerates disrespect.
The middle-aged man paused. He was momentarily stunned before reprimanding her.
Andrew, who was standing behind him, quickly tugged at his sleeves. He introduced, 'This is Mr. Cross from the Cross Group."
That middle-aged man froze. He looked at Seraphina with surprise.
Seraphina's gaze remained calm, her tone indifferent as she looked him up and down.
"You don't appear to be the owner of this property. Why is a servant like you acting so arrogantly?"
Despite being Wilson's butler, Hugo wasn't foolish enough to offend someone with such power and influence..
Though Seraphina's words stung, he could only grimace and swallow his anger.
He looked away awkwardly and spoke directly to Dani,
Hugo whispered, "Those without an invitation can't enter, Mr. Dani. You should take your guest and leave."
Dani sneered coldly. He crossed his arms and spoke coldly.
"Hugo, who gave you the authority to make my guest leave?"
Hugo was dumbfounded by the rebuke. He said, "Mr. Dani, it was Mr. Rockwell's orders."
"Dad personally invited Ms. Lovely. How dare you speak to her so rudely?"
Dani was truly upset now, and he had long forgotten his manners. The boy arrogantly lifted his chin and glared at Hugo.
He had worked so hard to invite Seraphina, but she was being treated rudely!
Hugo was embarassing him.
Who Do You Think You Are?
Dani was terrified that Seraphina might be mad with him.
Seraphina's body stiffened when Hugo mentioned 'Mr. Rockwell. Her shock was palpable.
Mr. Rockwell?
Could there really be another Mr. Rockwell here?
Does Wilson happen to be Dani's father?
Finished
And the man who had previously appeared at her house was the very same Wilson she had been trying so hard to meet but couldn't reach?
Hugo struggled to remain composed as Dani reprimanded him.
Just then, a waiter approached.
"Mr. Dani and Ms. Cross, Mr. Rockwell requests your presence inside."
Dani shot one last icy glance at Hugo before turning around to grab Seraphina's hand.
"Ms. Lovely, don't bother with that nasty Hugo. I'll make sure to tell my dad so he can get us a new butler!"
Hugo trembled violently, but it was too late to do anything..
He had almost forgotten that Dani was not an easily fooled child!
What a mess! I'm in deep trouble.
"We'd better get inside quickly, Andrew urged from the side. "We can't let Seraphina get ahead of us. Why is she even here? It's like she just appeared out of nowhere! This is absurb!" With no other option, Hugo clenched his teeth and led the way.
Everyone knew who he was, so even without invitations, they were free to pass. Hugo managed to lead the two strangers inside without any trouble.
But just as they were about to enter, the waiter who still remained in the scene spoke up and hesitated. "Mr. Rockwell only asked for Mr. Dani and Ms. Cross. He didn't mention... anyone else." Hugo's expression faltered slightly.
"How dare you? I'm the butler here, and Mr. Rockwell won't blame me for this. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility."
He then led Miguel and Andrew directly inside.
The interior had been meticulously arranged, with the hotel decorations replaced with the finest furnishings for this private event. Wilson had gone to great lengths in preparation. When Orion spotted Seraphina entering with the little boy, his eyes lingered on them in surprise.
