”Young Miss, the young master Jin is here.”
”Oh, right. I invited Liam over for lunch.” When Seraphina receives the message, her over the top gleeful expression turns to face her grandfather giving him a short notice about Liam's visit.
Sebastian Yue was satisfied seeing his precious granddaughter being too excited just hearing Liam's name. He nodded in understanding before he spoke,
”My little girl grew to a fine lady so fast. Go. I'll join you later.” pushing her to accommodate Liam Jin first -- Sebastian Yue saw her unhesitantly agree.
When Seraphina left her grandfather's study room, Sebastian Yue let out a few light coughs. Henry Man as if on cue instantly dashed on the desk inside the study room. Rummaging one of its cabinets, he picked up the bottle of medicine Sebastian Yue was taking. He immediately hands over a pill to Sebastian Yue which he consumed right away.
After Sebastian Yue drank a glassful of water, he spoke. ”I'm afraid, I have to leave Seffy earlier than I thought.” his lively tone, when he was in front of Seraphina, was gone. All he sounds now was a weak, old man waiting for his last breath.
”Sir…” Henry Man wanted to say something, alas, he was clearly informed about the Chairman's condition. And even if he suggested a million times that he must get treated, Sebastian Yue was unwilling.
”Say, son, does my little girl really likes young Jin?” Out of nowhere, Sebastian Yue asked Henry Man a particular question that he himself was unsure.
”I think so, Sir.” Henry Man honestly answered. In his perspective, the way Seraphina treated Liam was rather obvious. Just like now, she seemed a teenager in love just hearing the young masters name. So no doubt she likes him. However, Sebastian Yue sounded rather unconvinced, he spoke.
”Is that so? I hope she does, really. At least, I'll feel at ease.” Although Sebastian Yue is really convinced about Seraphina's act, part of him tells him that there's something amiss. He could not point it out but nonetheless, his giving the situation the benefit of the doubt.
Since he also likes Liam's personality by every interaction every time he encounters him and if ever Seraphina will end up marrying Liam Jin, he'll gladly leave in peace.
Unbeknownst to them, behind the close door -- Seraphina was leaning against it and heard their entire conversation. She shut her eyes closed as she let a heavy sigh. A second later, when Seraphina opened her eyes, there was a subtle glint flash across her eyes. No one could tell what was she's thinking, but, the fire beneath her eyes was spread unrestrainedly.
Whether it was something good or really bad -- only she can tell.
