Seraphina accompanied Orion, mingling with the crowd. Her expression remained cool and distant, yet everyone around them was quietly speculating about their current relationship.

Orion's gaze swept across the room, eventually landing on Wilson. He was caught up in conversation, surrounded by people, and unable to get away.

When Wilson noticed Orion, he seemed surprised, but he quickly regained his composure.

A faint, icy smile flashed on Orion's face.

Orion had been a long-time partner of Clarke Crocker When Clarke saw him, the middle-aged man, well into his forties or fifties, eagerly strode over and gave Orion a friendly pat on the shoulder. "Orion, my buddy! It's been ages since we last met! I heard you have fallen ill. I've been meaning to check on you but got delayed!"

Seraphina felt somewhat awkward watching this man, who was about the same age as Orion's father, refer to Orion as his 'buddy. She quietly suppressed a smile,

Orion accepted it clamly and replied with a smile, "It wasn't a big deal; no need to worry."

"Oh, don't be so polite. And this young lady is..." Clarke asked, shifting his gaze to Seraphina.

Orion introduced, "This is Seraphina Cross, President of the Cross Group, the daughter of Chairman Cross.

Orion's expression changed. He was slightly stunned before he smiled and said, "Even after the divorce, we're still friends"
