Chapter 78
Seraphina tiptoed back to the room and swiped the card key to open the door, trying to look calm.
Seraphina turned around and closed the door. Before the turned back, she heard a weier behind her. “What a surprise” She stiffened immediately.
Seraphina said. “You are awake” She looked back at Mia and saw Mia sitting on the sofa,
wearing pajamas, and looking at her. Mia seemed to be waiting for her.
Seraphina had already made up an excuse. She blurted out, “Did I wake you up? I just went downstairs to throw away the garbage. I bought breakfast for us. I didn’t mean to
you up. “So sorry””
wake
“Okay!” Mia snorted contemptuously, “Keep lying’ Keep telling me your story!”
“What are you talking about?” Seraphina blinked and said, “Well, I woke up too early and I’m so tired now. I want to have a little napi
Then Seraphina stretched lazily and then walked toward the bedroom.
Mia was fast: She quickly stretched out her leg to block Seraphina’s way. “You got nowhere to haade”
Seraphina smiled helplessly at Mia, Tm not hiding. I’m just going to take a nap!”
Mia said righteously, like Seraphina was on trial. “No way! Tell me, where did you fool around last night
Seraphinia tut-tutted. She was surprised by the words “fool around”.
Seraphina said, “No, I was not fooling around with anyone but you! When I came out of the bathroom yesterday, you were asleep. Soon after that, I went to bed. I got up earlier than you I didn’t fool around! Don’t use that word!”
Seraphina tried to push Mia away but Mia was firm Mia said, “I woke up at one o’clock
middle of the night and you were not there. How dare you tell me that went to sleep? What time did you get up! You got up before one o’clock, went out to throw the garbage, and didn’t come back until now?!”

Seraphina didn’t know how to explain.
Seraphina didn’t expect Mia to wake up so carly.
Seraphina wondered, Has the been waiting for me since she woke up at one o’clock?

night?”
Mia said, “Don’t try to distract me! So you know that I was waiting for you all night. Your phone was turned off. How dare you! I was going to call the police! Tell me what happened or you can’t leave here!” Mia refused to give up and blocked the door.
Seraphina felt speechless.

Seraphina stared at Mia cautiously. “Okay. I got up at one o’clock and I couldn’t fall asleep afterward. So I went out to throw the garbage. Then on a whim, I went running. I lost my way and finally managed to find my way back. Do you believe that?” She didn’t
even believe it herself.
Seeing Mia’s eyes full of resentment, Seraphina knew Mia didn’t buy it!
Seraphina sighed heavily and gave up the idea of going into the bedroom. She went back to the sofa, sat down, thought for a while, and said, “I went to meet a friend.”
“A friend!” Mia immediately walked to Seraphina. “What friend? Isn’t it your first time. here? You said you knew nobody here. Where did you suddenly find this friend? A man or a woman? Why so late at night?”
Looking at Mia, Seraphina said, “Mia, you are talking like you’re interrogating a suspect! I admit it was my bad to lie to you but it’s my privacy.”
Mia said, “It’s not that I don’t respect your privacy but this is your first business trip with me. The geography here is special and connections here are complicated. If something bad happens to you, how can I explain it to your family and the company? I’m responsible for your safety!”
Mia’s concern for Seraphina was obvious.
Seraphina knew that Mia cared about her so she didn’t feel annoyed and allowed her to keep asking.
However, Seraphina’s relationship with Dashiell could not be made public at that time. Seraphina had to hide it from Mia. She decided to apologize to Mia in the future.
“Don’t worry. My friend is not from here. He came here for something. After a brief pause, Seraphina said, “The reason why we met so late is that he had just finished his work and we both had our own things to do during the day. So…”
This explanation sounded a little farfetched but at least it was more reliable than going out for a night run and then getting lost.
Mia nodded thoughtfully and suddenly remembered something. She asked, “So, a
man?”

Seraphina remained silent.
There was no need to answer it. With Seraphina’s silence, Mia knew it.
Mia asked again. “Boyfriend?”
Seraphina had to admit it. “Kind of!”
