71 business Sera mode: ON (1/2)
[The next day]
Seraphina was up early despite not having enough sleep due to studying the companies current affairs. Since Yue International was a manufacturing company of badges and custom signage for hotels, real estate, private companies, and other government industrial structures.
Currently, they are joining different exhibit and been active in trade shows for a more broad connection. Furthermore, Yue International plans to enter the jewelry industry which obviously needed a big capital.
Of course, knowing her grandfather, it was not his idea but probably due to the pressure from the board and her ingrate fake uncle, also, adding the issue about the current decreasing sales caused this expansion on this subsidiary which will break their chain capital as a gamble. Since it's been years that a certain jewelry company was associated with Yue International, they proposed backing and guidance for this breakthrough. However, with Sebastian Yue's old age and condition, why must he endure this neck-breaking work dealing with them?
On a brighter note, since she needed money and more power for her future plans -- after all, money is power. Therefore, the company's forthcoming arrangement turns out to be in her favor.
[on their dining area]
Sebastian Yue was quietly eating his meal with Marjorie. Yesterday was supposed to be Marga's arrival from work but she said she has to go somewhere else for some reason. As old man Yue peacefully ravish his breakfast, he sees Seraphina's figure approaching. Seeing his beloved granddaughter appearance almost made him spill his food.
”Gramps, how do I look?” she happily asked showing her conservative or rather, too conservative business attire. She was wearing a white turtleneck sleeve, a comfortable loose black slacks paired with a faux leather pointed toe croc barely there heels, her dyed lilac hair was neatly fixed in a low bun and a black rimmed myopia glasses. She turns around with the black suit jacket on her hand.
”How's business-minded Sera, Gramps? Do I look intimidating enough?” she proudly seeks for a compliment. Sebastian Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her unbelievable silliness. Regardless, he was contented that she looks determined. He nods approvingly to her.
”Hehe.” Seraphina giggled as she sat on old man Yue's right side facing Marjorie's who's always keeping herself silent.
”Morning aunt.” greeting her nonchalantly. Marjorie meekly smiled back at her. Not minding her aunt, she turns her attention back to her grandfather.
”Gramps, you should eat healthy foods.” she reminded him, as Sebastian Yue delight himself with unhealthy food under his current condition.
”Silly girl, this is healthy.” denying without batting an eye, he stated.
”If grandpa says so.” she immediately conceded as she shrugs her shoulder. After their peaceful meal ended, they plan to head straight to work but before they leave the Yue's manor -- Riggs and Ace together with Chairman Yue's driver and right-hand man were stunned silly seeing Seraphina's get up.
Though both Chairman Yue's men maintained their stoic expression, Riggs tried his hardest to press his lips in a thin line as he stops his laughs from coming out. On the other hand, Ace bit his lips as if scared that any minute he'll burst out laughing under Sebastian Yue's presence.
Seraphina purposely showed them a thumbs up whilst raising her brows simultaneously as if provoking them to laugh at their heart's content.
