Chapter 391 Do I Owe You for Your Services?

Orion felt a wave of irritation wash over him and downed a few more drinks, trying to shake the feeling.

A young couple, still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship, sat at the same table, lost in their own little world. Their subtle touches and shared glances caught the eye of everyone around them, sparking envy among the singles. Orion glanced at Seraphina. He noticed her gaze lingered on a dish of sizzling prawns in front of her, but she hadn't touched it.

Without giving it any thought, he reached for his fork and picked up a shrimp. Then, he meticulously peeled the shrimp, discarding the shell and even removing the sand vein.

Everyone at the table watched with silent curiosity. So, Mr. Dros likes shrimp.

But just as quickly as the thought formed, it dissolved. Orion extended the peeled shrimp toward Seraphina, holding it right by her lips.

The crowd was stunned.

Oh, it turns out Ms. Cross likes shrimp.

Seraphina glanced down, momentarily surprised, before casting a calm, indifferent look in his direction. She didn't take the shrimp, nor did she lean forward to accept his offer. Instead, she smiled softly, leaning back into her chair, putting more distance between herself, his hand, and the shrimp.

Across the table, Aiden observed the exchange with amusement. It reminded him of a recent Instagram post Orion had shared. Suddenly, everything clicked into place. There's no other woman in the world that Orion would peel shrimp for.

"Ah, so

you two really got back together?" Aiden ventured out, his voice tinged with curiosity.

Orion's hand froze in midair.

Everyone fell into a heavy silence, waiting for his response.

Seraphina's smile didn't falter, but it was cold.

""No, we didn't."

Aiden swallowed back the congratulations that had almost escaped his lips.
