Ignoring Julian’s embarrassed face, Mike then gestured with three fingers, saying, “Thirdly, what I
dislike the most is making friends!”
After saying that, Mike sorted out his coat, stood up, and said, “I’ll go pay the bill. Suit yourself.”
Julian was at a loss for words. His confidence just now was completely replaced by
anger.
Originally, he thought it was easy to reach a consensus with Mike. After all, they had a friendly
relationship. Unexpectedly, Mike was so indifferent and direct, making Julian embarrassed.
Julian thought to himself, ‘He is capable indeed, but does he think he’s the only competent perfumer in
the world? No matter how competent he is, he’s still far from the top ones. Thinking of that, he drank up
the wine in one gulp with resentment.
Wanting to see if Mike had left, he looked around and saw a familiar figure, who was Seraphina.
Julian almost forgot that Seraphina was also here. Vivian had complained to him about this when she
arrived on the first day.
He squinted and could only see her profile. She was sitting there alone, holding the phone as if she
were chatting with someone and typing quickly with both hands.
After thinking for a while, Julian turned around and looked in the direction of the bathroom. Vivian
hadn’t come out, so he stood up and walked towards Seraphina.
Seraphina was chatting happily with Dashiell on the phone. She didn’t expect that he would follow her Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
as well. Although his table was private enough and concealed, she was still afraid that Dashiell would
be noticed by others. After all, he had high status.
Now, they could see each other easily when they looked up. Although they couldn’t sit together in such
a public place and could only chat with each other through the mobile phone, this sense of distance
and sneaky excitement was inexplicably fun for them.
Dashiell: [In the direction of half past three, there’s a dog approaching. Be careful not to get bitten.]
Looking at the puzzling words on the screen, Seraphina frowned and couldn’t understand.
She wanted to look up to see Dashiell’s reaction, only to see a familiar but strange face suddenly
approaching. Seraphina was startled.
She subconsciously leaned backwards with astonishment.
Julian was actually a little happy to see her surprised expression. He would be upset if she didn’t react
at all when seeing him.
Her reaction showed that she still cared about him in her heart.
If Seraphina found out about his narcissistic idea, she would’ve gone mad. She was just frightened,
and that was all.
“What a coincidence!” Julian sat down in the seat opposite her, regardless of whether she liked it or
not, continuing, “Well, are you here alone?”
Rolling her eyes at him, Seraphina was a little
angry.
He sat in a position that kind of blocked her view of Dashiell.
Now she understood why Dashiell said those strange words just now, which meant he had seen Julian.
Seraphina typed quickly on the screen and sent Dashiell a message: [Why didn’t tell me earlier?]
you
These words were full of resentment. Dashiell laughed and asked: [You’ve got bitten so soon?]
Seraphina: [No, but he’s so annoying. Aren’t you going to help me drive away the dog?]
Dashiell: [Are you sure you want my help? Then I’ll go over?] He was so eager to announce their
relationship to the world.
Seraphina: [No! No need! I refuse!] Seraphina quickly rejected, and her frightened expression made
Dashiell laugh out.
Dashiell then replied with one single word: [Anytime!]
Of course, Seraphina wouldn’t let him come over to help her. Besides, this was a public place and
Julian didn’t dare to do anything. However, she still felt relieved when she saw this word and smiled
sweetly.
Seeing her smile, Julian was stunned for a moment.
Frankly speaking, he had been used to her company for so many years.
He was accustomed to her busy working in the lab every day in work clothes, all kinds of strange
smells on her body, and her unchanging expression and tone. It was precisely these unchanging things
that he was extremely tired of.

Julian thought she was so boring, neither charming nor se xy, neither romantic nor gentle. He wasn’t
interested in her at all. If she hadn’t been willing to help him wholeheartedly and if she hadn’t had such
an extraordinary ability to make perfumes, he wouldn’t have spent so much time with her.
However, her smile just now really amazed him.
Julian thought, ‘Does that sweet and cute smile really come from Seraphina? Who’s she laughing with?
Who’s she chatting with? I’m sitting right in front of her. Why is she only staring at her phone and
smiling so happily as if she hadn’t seen me?’
Julian couldn’t believe that she would ignore him like this. After thinking for a while, he thought there
was only one answer, and that was she did it on purpose!
He wondered, ‘When she saw me just now, she was obviously a little panicked. If she really wanted to
ignore me, she wouldn’t act like that. She must be upset, so she acted like this to play hard to get and
try to attract my attention on purpose.
After clearing his throat, Julian knocked on the table with one hand. The noise made Seraphina look up
at him and Julian was finally satisfied.
He thought, ‘Look! Stop pretending! You clearly care about me. Why do you have to pretend that you
don’t care?’
“Seraphina, I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear me?” said he.
Squinting at him, Seraphina said, “Am I familiar with you?”
Hearing that, Julian frowned and said, “Seraphina, why are you doing this? Even if we can’t be a
couple, we can still be friends! You’ve revenged, and your anger should be relieved by now. Vivi and I
did something wrong, but you’ve already got back at us. Now that we’ve dropped the lawsuit, let’s just
put it behind us. Let’s move on, shall we?”
Seraphina looked at him with her eyes wide open as if she were looking at some rare animal. She
couldn’t believe what she had heard.
She thought, ‘What a weird logic! Who gave him the courage to say that the is
past and what qualified him to do so? Who does he think he is?!’
over,
“I’m sorry. I don’t quite understand what you meant. When did I get back at you? What revenge did I
take? You made me sound like a chivalrous woman in ancient times, but I’m sorry, I really didn’t do
anything!”
Julian leaned back, put one hand on the backrest, looked at her, and said, “Seraphina, this is not funny.
I sincerely want to make peace with you. Do you have to be this sarcastic? Do you dare to say that you
didn’t tamper with the formula you left in the company? Did you not intentionally give me a fake
essential oil formula?”
He was confident as if he had something on her.
