Falling in love with the wrong person

Chapter 3

Arthur had just finished a video call with his business partners.

Seeing the girl, who had clearly cried again, holding the necklace box, staring at her toes with a look of despair.

"What's wrong?"

Arthur asked in confusion.

Seraphina hadn't spoken, but tears had begun to fall.

She sobbed softly, looking pitiful: "Mr. Pierce, please take this necklace back, I don’t dare to accept it."

The cold and stern look on Arthur’s face was slightly displeased.

His intuition told him that something must have happened.

But he didn’t directly ask her.

He just watched the person in front of him quietly.

Seraphina pursed her lips and, after much hesitation, finally took the initiative to speak, telling him everything that had happened in the office today.

"Mr. Pierce, I'm sorry to always cause you trouble.

“I just wanted to post on social media to encourage myself. I didn't know why the President's wife would find out about it."

Seraphina sobbed softly.

"I didn’t expect the President's wife to be so angry."

The woman looked as pitiful as a little white rabbit.

"Mr. Pierce, I want to apologize to the President’s wife, and I can explain everything to her in person."

Arthur had never looked at social media.

His time was filled with work.

But as the President of the group, he understood the bad habits of gossiping within the company too well, and his usually cold and stern face became even colder.

"I see."

The man said in a low voice.

That night, Arthur brought Seraphina home.

The girl was timid and stood behind the man.

"I asked Seraphina to come and let her explain things in person."

Arthur sighed.

"Clara, Seraphina is just my secretary.

"Because of what happened yesterday, to show my apology, I gave her a gift. That's all."

I stirred the silver spoon and drank the bird's nest that Auntie had stewed.

"Mrs. Pierce, I’m sorry."

Seraphina was sincere, and bowed to me.

Shakily, softly.

"This is the first time I've received such a valuable gift, and I was carried away for a moment. If I did anything that made you unhappy, you can tell me, and I will correct it immediately!"

I raised my eyebrows: "Seraphina Bell, right?"

The girl glanced at Arthur, as if she wanted to draw courage from the man, and slowly nodded.

Looking at the woman, who was so bold and fearless, trying to challenge me, I just found it funny.

"I’m not your teacher, nor am I your leader, and I don’t have the time to teach you how to behave.

"But I'm Arthur Pierce's wife, so anyone who dares to be ambiguous with my husband, I won’t give her a chance to start over."

The girl had probably never met someone as direct as me in her life, and on her increasingly embarrassed face, only weakness remained.

"Clara, Seraphina is here to apologize to you."

Arthur knew my personality and methods.

Even if he didn't approve of what I did today, he could understand my feelings.

So he didn’t have an outburst with me, but he agreed for Seraphina to come and apologize to me.

He had already made concessions and wanted me to let go of the misunderstanding.

We were both smart people.

Even with a single glance, we could understand each other’s meaning.

"I see."

I decided to give Arthur a chance.

After all, he really hadn't cheated.

"But there won’t be a next time, no matter who it is."
