But Desmond Fairchild didn’t respond.
"What are you staring at?" Seraphina Sinclair noticed Desmond Fairchild standing still and couldn’t help but be curious, shaking the brocade box in her hand.
At that moment, Desmond Fairchild felt a mix of emotions.
He looked at the woman in front of him with no expression, suppressing the anger within him, not wanting to explode in front of her.
Yet Seraphina Sinclair, acting as if nothing happened, seeing that he wouldn’t take it, even took the initiative to stuff the item into his suit pocket.
"Since my grandmother gave this to you, there’s no reason to take it back. You should keep it safely."
As soon as she finished speaking, Desmond Fairchild immediately took out the brocade box from his pocket and put it back in Seraphina Sinclair’s hand.
Going back and forth , Seraphina Sinclair grew a bit impatient and couldn’t help but ask, "Desmond Fairchild, we are in an agreement relationship, you don’t need to involve your family heirlooms."
"Whether it’s necessary, I will decide."
No matter what Seraphina Sinclair said, Desmond Fairchild seemed to always have a retort.
Seeing Desmond Fairchild’s stubborn demeanor, Seraphina Sinclair finally had to compromise, "Alright, I’ll hold on to it for you first. Whenever you need it, you can come and get it."
"Jude is part of the Fairchild Family, so all Fairchild items will be his in the future. If you really feel stressed about it, just think of it as giving it to Jude." Desmond Fairchild said helplessly.
After the banquet ended, both Desmond Fairchild and Seraphina Sinclair threw themselves into their work.
"Boss, Austin White is here, should I let him in?"
Early in the morning, after Seraphina Sinclair had just finished an international meeting, Irene Rowe knocked and entered, mentioning Austin White’s visit.
Upon hearing Austin White was here, Seraphina Sinclair was a bit surprised.
He has always been sensible and seldom visited the company.
Could it be that this kid has encountered some trouble?
Thinking of this, Seraphina Sinclair immediately asked her to invite Austin White in.
Not long after, Austin White pushed the door open and walked into Seraphina Sinclair’s office.
"Austin, are you alright?"
If Seraphina Sinclair previously had only guessed, seeing Austin White now almost assured her that the youngster indeed ran into some issue.
Todays Austin White was vastly different from usual, with a strained face as if he had deep concerns.
Upon hearing Seraphina Sinclair’s question, Austin White didn’t rush to answer but first walked to Seraphina Sinclair’s desk and sat opposite her.
Then Austin White solemnly gazed at Seraphina Sinclair and asked, "Godmother, tell me truthfully, isn’t Desmond Fairchild’s identity more than just the CEO of Cloudsea Group?"
Seraphina Sinclair, listening to Austin White, was taken aback, her mind went blank.
"Apart from being the CEO, what else could Desmond Fairchild be?"
"No, I feel he’s definitely not that simple." Hearing Seraphina Sinclair’s answer, Austin White immediately denied her.
Since arriving in Bayside City, Austin White’s goal has been singular, to find the true owner of the mysterious Y continent force.
If before he was clueless, since Jude Sinclair’s birthday banquet and meeting Quentin Jennings, Austin White suddenly had a new idea.
Even though previously Austin White hacked into Cloudsea Group’s computer, trying to investigate deeply, unfortunately, Cloudsea’s cloud system showed no anomalies.
Although Austin White knew nothing about the name Quentin Jennings nor the man’s identity, he was certain the mark on Quentin Jennings was definitely related to that mysterious Y continent force.
"No way, Austin, could you have investigated wrong?"
After hearing Austin White’s introduction, Seraphina Sinclair still found the result somewhat unbelievable.
Not to mention Desmond Fairchild hasn’t revealed anything about matters outside Bayside City to her, just handling the Farsea Group’s daily projects is already overwhelming.
More so, the mysterious Y continent’s leader is elusive and ruthless.
Desmond Fairchild truly showed no hint of that person.
Austin White, seeing Seraphina Sinclair’s firm demeanor, knew his godmother would have a hard time accepting this reality but refrained from discussing the topic further for the sake of the bigger picture.
After all, Seraphina Sinclair and Desmond Fairchild had just gotten engaged, and Jude still needed their care.
If Austin White complicated their relationship with a few words, it was really unnecessary.
After thoughtful consideration, Austin White pretended to be relaxed and softly replied to Seraphina Sinclair, "Godmother, actually I’m just speaking casually, you don’t need to mind too much. I came to find you today to tell you I might be going to work at Cloudsea Group."
Regardless of whether Seraphina Sinclair believed him, Austin White intended to complete the task he came to Bayside City for. As long as there was a hint of a clue, Austin White wouldn’t easily give up.
Since Desmond Fairchild himself invited him to work at the company, Austin White might as well take this opportunity to stay at Cloudsea Group for a thorough investigation.
"You’re going to work at Cloudsea Group?"
In her understanding, Austin White and Desmond Fairchild never had a good relationship. If it weren’t for her, they probably wouldn’t even qualify as strangers.
Looking at Seraphina Sinclair’s hand reaching out, Austin White smiled and took it, then spoke sincerely, "Godmother, I’m certainly not having a fever, more so Desmond Fairchild appointed me to work at Cloudsea Group."
Seeing Austin White’s determined seriousness, Seraphina Sinclair naturally had no objections and cheerfully responded, "Alright, you’re no longer young, going to work anywhere is your choice. But Austin, remember, if you suffer grievances at Desmond Fairchild’s, come back to me, I will back you up."
Having spent these years with these juniors, Seraphina Sinclair’s personality became more protective. Don’t be fooled by her strict demeanor towards them; in reality, she cares deeply for each one.
Hearing Seraphina Sinclair’s words, Austin White felt deeply moved and immediately took her hand, softly saying, "As long as I have your support, godmother, I’ll be content. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself."
Having explained to Seraphina Sinclair, Austin White promptly left Kevin Group. Follow current novels on novelꜰire.net
