Inherit Billions

Chapter 432 Duet

Ken paused, surprised. "Ms. Cross has a meeting in the neighboring state and has also invited you. However, the specifics of the meeting aren't that significant. I mentioned it to you before, and you asked me to decline. According to the schedule, Mr. Rockwell should be back in three days."

He truly had no idea that Wilson had returned early.

Wilson appeared harmless and gentle, but one should not underestimate his abilities on Wraith Street. It would be a challenge to keep an eye on him.

Orion entered the office; his expression was cold. "When will it end?"

"The meeting is only held this afternoon. Ms. Cross should be back by evening."

Orion shot him a cold glare, clearly displeased with Ken's use of 'should'.

Ken lowered his head even further, forcing himself to add, "It's too late for you to go now.

After all, several important meetings were coming up soon.

After a long pause, Orion commanded, "Get out."

"Yes, boss."

Ken quickly complied and retreated from the room.

Inside, Orion's heart was anything but calm. The thought of Seraphina being with that scheming Wilson gnawed at him, and it was an unbearable sensation. His gaze turned steely.

Wilson was more difficult to deal with than Henry, but even the toughest adversaries had their weaknesses.

No one would take her away from him.

To avoid any unnecessary worries, Seraphina decided not to return home that evening.

Dressed in simple, casual clothes and wearing a hat, she slipped out to go shopping alone.

Thomas was preoccupied with numerous tasks, and her friends were all elsewhere, so she had no one to accompany her.

As dusk settled, the sky deepened from a light blue to a dark indigo, finally surrendering to darkness.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, creating a soft, soothing sound.

Seraphina walked through a small park and headed straight for the mall.

Upon entering, the sight of luxurious boutiques made her heart flutter with excitement.

Without a second thought, she dove in, happily embarking on a shopping spree.

Chapter 432 Duet

""This one and this one, I'll take them!"

Finished

She was dressed in a modest outfit, her hat shielding her face. No one recognized her as she swiped her Card with unwavering confidence, leaving the sales associates in awe. They wished they could whisk her away to shop endlessly.

After making a fair amount of purchase, she arranged the delivery of the items to her hotel. Holding her receipts, she casually tucked them into her pocket and continued her stroll. Suddenly, a group of black-clad bodyguards appeared in front of her.

Seraphina froze, instinctively tensing up, thinking it might have something to do with her.

But the bodyguards rushed past her without a glance.

Oh, thank goodness; they weren't after me.

Feeling a bit fatigued, she spotted a quiet resting area ahead, where a grand piano stood invitingly in the center. She glanced around and decided to sit down.

As her fingers brushed the keys, a spark of desire ignited within her.

She played a few notes, the sound crisp and delightful-the piano was truly exquisite.

Without thinking, she began to play. The notes came together in a simple, cheerful tune-Summer'. The melody was bright and fresh, perfectly matching her relaxed mood after shopping.

It had been a long time since she felt this at ease; she almost lost herself in the music.

Suddenly, someone sat beside her, breaking her reverie

When the stranger's hands rested on the keys, a lively, harmonious sound blended seamlessly with her melody. Seraphina paused, turning her head instinctively to look.

There was Wilson. A warm, clear smile illuminated his handsome face.

His fingers danced across the keys, perfectly complementing her playing. Their duet was vibrant and lively, as if they had practiced it countless times before. The music flowed effortlessly, filling the air with a lightheartedness that was utterly refreshing. Seraphina smiled back, realizing their unspoken connection was rooted in their shared love for the piano and the music.

They felt as though they had traveled back in time to a sun-drenched summer day, remembering their happiest moments. That joy enveloped her, making life feel as radiant as the sunshine itself.
