Seraphina pressed her lips together, her smile faint as he opened the door. 

“Orion doesn’t stay in this room. This is my room. Would you like to take a peek? 

Alessandra shook her head quickly, stepping back. 

Of course not. She already felt completely humiliated, as if someone had caught her in the act. 

If it had been anyone else, she wouldn’t be this scared or anxious. 

But this was Seraphina–the princess of the entire Cross Group. Just looking at how cautious and deferential Michael was toward her was enough to understand. 

“No, no, no … There’s no need. I wasn’t looking for anyone in particular; I was just worried I might have upset Mr. Dros while filming the show.” Alessandra stammered, terrified that Seraphina wouldn’t believe her. 

In that moment, she felt like her soul had left her body 

Seeing how Alessandra struggled to explain, Seraphina frowned slightly. What was the point of all this? 

She wasn’t interested. 

Was Alessandra worried she’d be jealous? 

Seraphina thought for a moment, then kindly pulled out her phone. “Let me contact Mr. Dros for you, and you can talk to him directly.” 

“No!” Alessandra interrupted, panicking; her expression turned pale. 

“I suddenly realized… I can do it by tomorrow. I’m sorry for bothering you, Ms. Cross. Goodnight!” 

With that, Alessandra rushed into the elevator, afraid Seraphina might chase after her. 

For the first time in her life, she felt truly defeated. 

In front of the cameras, she was glamorous and admired by many, but in the presence of the untouchable Seraphina, she felt like nothing more than a prostitute who had sold her body and soul–cheap and laughable. 

Seraphina stood there for a moment before closing the door, not thinking much of the whole incident. 

But before she could reach the sofa, the doorbell rang again. 

Could it be that Alessandra had changed her mind and wanted another chance to contact Orion? 

Seraphina walked to the door unhurriedly and opened it. 

Nina stood there, dressed in a white gown that hugged her curves. Her delicate makeup was understated yet seductive, giving her an allure that surpassed even Alessandra’s. There was a mix of innocence and desire, making her even more captivating.

Chapter 422 Red Wine

Finished 

“Mr. Dros… Nina started, her head lowered, too shy–or pretending to be too shy–to make eye contact. 

She clinked the wine bottle in her hand against a glass and chose her words carefully. 

“This is some wine I made myself. Would you like to try it?” 

Her eyes revealed her greed, but she dared not be too aggressive. Instead, she revealed her intention little by little, testing the limits of the man she sought to entice, using her gentle approach to break down his defenses. 

However, she also left the door open to flirtation–why else would she come in sexy nightwear to offer drinks? 

Not hearing Orion’s response, Nina bit her lower lip and carefully looked up. 

The moment she saw Seraphina, her expression froze, her face turning pale. 

“Ms. Cross, you—” 

Seraphina immediately clarified, “Orion isn’t in this room. This is my room. If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to come in and check.” 

Nina lowered her gaze, suppressing the disappointment and anxiety on her face. 

She forced a smile and said, “No … that won’t be necessary, I…” 

Nina struggled to find a reason to visit a man, particularly Seraphina’s ex–husband, alone. 

Embarrassment and panic suddenly overwhelmed Nina, leaving her at a loss. Her fingers tightened around the bottle, biting her lip hard; her face flushed red. 

This awkward tension was unbearable. 

Seraphina stared at her, convinced that she couldn’t be unfair after helping Alessandra. 

She quickly offered to help, saying, “Let me contact Mr. Dros for you. You can talk to him in person if you’d like.” 

To be this enthusiastic and considerate, even as an ex–wife–Seraphina had to admit, she admired her own graciousness. 

Before she could even take out her phone, Nina stepped back in shock. “No, there’s no need, Ms. Cross. I just remembered I still have lines to memorize. I’ll leave now. Sorry for the disturbance. Goodnight.” 

She turned to leave but then remembered what she was holding. Turning back, she handed the bottle to Seraphina. 

“This is truly homemade, a family recipe. Please, give it a try.” 

Before Seraphina could even thank her, Nina hurriedly fled–looking even more ridiculous than Alessandra had.
