Seraphins was deeply angered by that dismissive response.
What did that bitch mean by “proper authority“?
How dare she mock her like that!
Upon hearing movement in the corridor outside, Seraphina quickly returned Kane’s phone to its original position and moved to stand casually nearby.
Kane and Celia entered the office together.
Kane glanced around briefly, his brow furrowing slightly. “Have you been discharged from the hospital?”
“Yes, the doctor said I’m fine and just need to rest for a few days.” Seraphina approached him, and seeing him settle into his office chair and check has phone, she quickly changed the subject. “It’s been a while since we spent time together, Kane. Let’s have lunch with Jasper at noon?”
Kane didn’t check his call log, instead scrolling through work–related messages. He gave a brief nod. “Alright”
Seraphina was delighted by his agreement.

She found Rowan already waiting at their agreed location when she arrived. “Sorry for keeping you waiting.”
“Just a few minutes–it’s no trouble at all,” Rowan said, setting down his coffee and sending the recovered surveillance footage to her “Fortunately, whoever deleted this footage wasn’t a professional. Otherwise, it would have taken much longer to recover the evidence?

This also fulfills Prof. Morrison’s request to look after you.”
Aria smiled with genuine warmth. “Once I officially transfer positions, I’ll go visit him.”
Rowan looked curious. “Transfer?”
Without waiting for her detailed response, familiar voices came from behind them
“Jasper, you’re running too fast.”
Aria’s expression froze, and she turned her head to look
