Just seconds ago, Seraphins had been maintaining a polite facade, but now she displayed her true dominant nature. After all, Kane had given her the privilege, so she naturally had to make full use of it.
Aria silently tightened her grip on the damp tissues, keeping her expression neutral. “So does Ms. Cross have additional avgnment for me?
Seraphina crossed her arms and turned to look at her sOIL
Jasper skipped over to her side and said coquettishly, “Mous, I want to eat chocolate cupcakes. Can you buy them for me, please?
Seraphina pretended to consider this, looking at Aria. “Dr. Ashworth, I’m afraid Ell have to ask you to time a favor and pick up some pastries for KANE’S SON. I shouldn’t be too much trouble, right?”
She deliberately emphasized the words “Kane’s son,” as if reminding Aria that as an outsider, she was powerless to interfere in their “family of three.”
How ironic, she was flaunting her supposed status in front of Kane’s actual mate,
Unfortunately, Seraphina had no idea that Kane had a secret bond with Aria, believing she was manipulating some random colleague who might have feelings for Kane..
So even though Aria knew Seraphina was testing her boundaries, or perhaps intentionally trying to humiliate her, she didn’t care.
just pastries?” Aria pulled out her phone casually. “It’s a simple matter, nothing difficult about it.”
With that, she walked out of the office.
Seraphina watched her leave, a smug smile playing on her lips.
In the end, wasn’t Aria just like a well–trained dog, obediently letting herself be ordered around?
Aria placed a delivery order on her phone at the stairwell, then promptly returned to her own office.
Seraphina and Jasper waited impatiently until a delivery person knocked on the door. “Excuse me, who ordered from Sweet Dreams Bakery?”
Seraphina stood up from the sofa, looking puzzled. “I am Ms. Cross, but I didn’t order anything!”
The delivery person confirmed the address. “This is definitely the Department Head’s office, right? Didn’t you just say you’re Ms. Cross?”
Seraphina realized belatedly that the delivery ceder had been placed by Aria, who had outsmarted her attempt at humiliation.
She gritted her teeth and accepted the delivery with forced politeness.
After the delivery person left, she threw the bag on the table with barely controlled anger.
Jasper sensed his mother’s fury, his small body trembling as he didn’t dare reach for the pastries, Instead, he asked carefully, “Mam, can I eat the rupcakes now…
