Chapter 186: Chapter 186

"Desmond Fairchild, are you crazy!" Seraphina Sinclair didn’t expect Desmond to pull this stunt, but this man was ridiculously strong. Her small arms and legs struggled a bit, but it was utterly useless.

Just like that, Desmond Fairchild pulled Seraphina Sinclair into a bridal carry straight into the CEO’s office.

Since all the company’s employees were working overtime, practically everyone saw this scene.

"Wow! President Fairchild’s boyfriend power is off the charts! Oh my gosh, to be carried by such a handsome man; if it were me, I’d faint from happiness already." Employee A, a female, gushed over them, wishing she could become Seraphina Sinclair. It was truly maddening to be compared to others.

The secretary also cast envious glances. "Exactly, President Fairchild is really handsome. But only someone as stunning as President Sinclair is worthy of such an outstanding man."

When it came to Seraphina Sinclair, the young women in the company all showed expressions of pride. Despite being a woman herself, she won the affection of so many other women, which showed just how good Seraphina Sinclair was to her employees.

Hearing the exclamations outside, Irene Rowe came out of the pantry and just happened to see Desmond carrying Seraphina as he walked past her.

She opened her mouth wide in surprise, silently mouthing to Seraphina, who was facing her, "My boss, what is happening here?"

Seraphina Sinclair was anxious and angry, clinging onto Desmond Fairchild, struggling again, but found that his grip only tightened. She didn’t know whether he wanted to carry her away or strangle her.

Seraphina Sinclair originally had a private elevator, and Desmond Fairchild could have quietly used the private elevator.

But he refused, parading Seraphina Sinclair ostentatiously through Kevin Group.

He even purposely passed by the employee workstation, issuing orders in a lordly tone, "Your boss isn’t feeling well tonight, so she’s leaving early. After this overtime, I’ll cover the costs for a team-building outing."

"Is what President Fairchild said true? What’s the budget cap for the team-building?" A male employee excitedly jumped out.

"No cap," Desmond Fairchild said calmly.

Hearing the words ’no cap,’ the employees, who had been a little drowsy after eating, suddenly became excited. This was President Fairchild from Cloudsea Group, and when he said no cap, it meant the quality of this team-building would not be lacking.

Therefore, no one had any objections to Seraphina Sinclair leaving early.

There were even quite a few words of blessing and concern.

In reality, they didn’t care if Seraphina Sinclair stayed to work overtime with them. In other companies, which boss accompanies the employees for overtime? Only Seraphina Sinclair would stay with them each time, even leaving later than them. The source of this content ɪs novel(ꜰ)ire.net

With such a good boss, they had no complaints about working overtime.

Irene Rowe, holding her cup of coffee, threw a look of admiration toward Seraphina Sinclair, muttering to herself, "The boss is really lucky, oh when will I meet such a boyfriend with overflowing strength?"

As she spoke, a bright and handsome face slowly appeared in her mind, startling her. She immediately patted her face to clear her head.

He’s not even twenty, he’s just not suitable for her. Better not think these thoughts, and focus on the overtime work she needed to finish.

On a cold winter’s night, with the biting wind gusting, Seraphina Sinclair stood at the company entrance, draped in Desmond Fairchild’s coat, waiting for him to drive over.

She stood in the chilly wind, sighing deeply, feeling both love and hate towards Desmond Fairchild.

Ever since knowing this man, she felt like he was a nagging caretaker. Even whether she was well-fed and warm was something he had to manage.

Soon, the roaring sound of a car engine reached her ears.

This time, Seraphina was conscious; she didn’t make Desmond prompt again, opened the car door by herself, and sat in the front passenger seat.

On the way home, neither of them spoke.

Seraphina Sinclair was really tired; she leaned back in the seat, resting her eyes. Desmond Fairchild knew she was exhausted lately, so he didn’t disturb her.

The car drove smoothly on the road, and in a relaxed environment, Seraphina soon fell asleep.

Desmond Fairchild drove the car, his gaze constantly drifting to Seraphina’s face.

The atmosphere in the car was very quiet, and he thought this quietness could last until they got home, but unexpectedly, it was interrupted by a sudden phone call.

Seraphina was a light sleeper; as soon as Desmond’s phone rang, she opened her eyes.

Seeing Desmond’s hands on the steering wheel, she frowned and reached to get the phone he had placed in the glove compartment.

"Unknown number, should I answer it?" Seraphina asked Desmond, rubbing her temples.

"I can’t take my hands off while driving, you answer it for me." Desmond said, turning the steering wheel to make a turn.

Seraphina never had a habit of invading others’ privacy, not even for someone she was dating. So after pressing the answer button, she directly turned on the speaker, letting Desmond speak for himself.

Desmond couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, just about to speak, when a familiar female voice came from the other side, "Desmond."

Hearing Anna’s voice, Seraphina’s eyelids twitched fiercely. She looked at Desmond with puzzled eyes, silently asking: Why is she still calling you?

Desmond was extremely innocent, not explaining as he directly responded to Anna, "What do you want?"

"I know you probably won’t believe or want to hear what I have to say now, but I’m serious this time." Anna’s voice sounded a bit choked on the other end, she forced a smile through her sadness, "I’m leaving."

"Mm." Desmond replied flatly, he had given the order to have Anna transferred, so he naturally knew she was leaving, hence he wasn’t surprised, "Anything else?"

His impatient tone made Anna feel even more heartbroken; she let out a relieved smile. Perhaps only letting go completely could lead to rebirth.

"I mean, I’m resigning, I’ve already sent my resignation letter to your email." Anna looked at her watch, feeling more relaxed than ever, "I’m at the airport now, maybe for a short period or maybe forever I won’t return to Bayside City. There are some things I want to say to you before I leave."

Desmond didn’t reply, Anna seemed to expect this outcome, but she continued on her own, "My flight is at two, I need to check in in an hour."

At this point, even a fool could understand what she meant.

Seraphina crossed her arms, staring intently at Desmond, waiting for his reply.

"Safe travels." Desmond pretended not to understand her intent, maintaining his usual indifferent attitude.

Anna, hearing this ’safe travels,’ laughed unsurprised: "I knew you wouldn’t come. Seraphina is with you, isn’t she? Even if you don’t come, I need to say what I have to say. If I don’t say it now, I might never get another chance."

"Desmond, please allow me to call you that one last time. Honestly, over the past few days, I’ve thought a lot. Regarding your repeated rejections of my pursuits, I’ve been really dissatisfied. But it was just dissatisfaction. There was sadness too, but more than anything, it was unwillingness.

I realized that maybe I didn’t like you as much as I thought, perhaps it was just because since childhood, you were always the only one around. So subconsciously, I saw you as my perfect marriage partner."
