Chapter 137 - banquet night III

When Seraphina exited the restroom, the two following behind her hangs their head low as if reflecting their action moments ago. Sensing the distance between them, Seraphina turns her head as she arcs her brows.

"Chairwoman, just now…"

"We gravely apologize for our misconduct!" Both girls bowed in unison.

"Eh? Your saying defending your company and your right as a human is something to be sorry about?" Seraphina spoke in an innocent tone as she tilts her head, puzzled.

"I -- We didn't mean --"

"Forget it. Just enjoy yourselves tonight. Have fun!" Seraphina halted their explanation. She turns her head and left them speechless. Unbeknownst to her knowledge, her usual act made a huge impact on the two employees.

Staring at her retreating back, the two girls were in awe. In their eyes, Seraphina was the heroine of justice for them. Not knowing that Seraphina's reason for butting in was she was annoyed by Che Daiyu's high-pitch voice.

"Greetings, dear guest! thank you for blessing us with your presence tonight. Today is a memorable day for the company as we celebrate the new head of the Yue International Enterprise; Chairwoman Seraphina Yue." Marga professionally announces as an opening to the event.

Her posture and how she carried herself was really praiseworthy and deserves the title: Queen of Multimedia. Moreover, having a decent family background, most men would d_e_s_i_r_e her. While women envy her and would wish to be her.

As she speaks her sweet and skillful words, part of the crowd especially the employees anticipate Seraphina. Usually, she always looks strange and old-fashioned. Hence, it is given that she will dress up tonight. Who knows? maybe she was truly a beauty behind that conservative attire and myopia glasses.

Alas, when Seraphina got on the stage, they were left disappointed. She was wearing the same suit she wore this morning and as if this banquet has no importance to her. Some higher-ups were displeased as they take this as a disrespectful act. How could they not? Even the insignificant employee dressed up yet the chairwoman herself who's the center of this event was wearing casual business attire.

"I'm truly gratified for everyone who came. I, Seraphina Yue as the new chairwoman of Yue International Enterprise would like to thank everyone who came despite your busy schedules. For the last month, Yue International Enterprise had a drastic progress and it was all thanks for your trust. Thus, I will take this opportunity to announce two things." Seraphina paused as she scans the spacious function hall. Everyone attentively listens to her as they wait for her announcements.

"First, The Yue International Enterprise will be no longer a small company. Soon, I will make sure it will be an empire." Her first announcement caused a huge uproar from the guest. From normal employees to their business partners and even the shareholders who didn't know this plan. Only the few Board of Directors who sided with Seraphina was elated and wasn't surprised at all.

"Empire? Isn't too sudden?"

"Woah, that's a big word!"

"Haha! Chairwoman is indeed something."

'Huh, he wouldn't be my boss if she wasn't this ambitious!' Wren smirks proudly as he commented his excitement inwardly.

"Tch. Little girl, you declare too soon. Are you not afraid it will backfire on you?" George Yue ridiculed audibly. He smirks viciously as a glint of wickedness flashes across his eyes.

Seraphina let the audience absorbs her words for a brief time. When the commotion subsided a little, she continues.

"Second, I appoint Mr. Henry Man to be the president of Yue International. That's all. I hope you enjoy the night." This time, another indistinct clamoring was heard. It was louder than the first one. Even with the directors that sided with Seraphina gasped in disbelief by her second announcement. After all, Seraphina didn't mention anything regarding this matter to them.

"What? Hey, can you repeat what the chairwoman said just now?"

"Is this a declaration of war to Director Yue?"

"I can sense a turmoil coming our way! O, God!"

'This -- This girl really has done it! She was really testing me! Now she wanted me to bow to someone who's lower than me?!' George Yue growled inwardly. His dismay this time was evident and everyone that surrounds him could feel his raging aura emitting within him.

On a distance, the man was leaning at one of the function hall's pillar, smirking. He was wearing a waiter's outfit yet, his majestic feature and well-built physique didn't conceal his nobility.

"My wife is as stunning and impressive as ever. I should get one of those glasses."
