Chapter 271 - you look poor

If anyone could comprehend and analyze Seraphina's dangerous action, Wren could clearly understand it. All the fiasco of luring all her enemies at the same time could prove his conclusion; Seraphina will drag them all to her death.

Though he was drunk last night, the moment he remembered her spatted words in her drunken state, Wren's mind functioned in a speed of lighting and speculated about her further plans and reasoning.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that Seraphina was on a suicide mission which made him agitated and worried at the same time. Knowing Seraphina, granting that she was never afraid of death and given their dangerous standing -- all of them were well-versed that they might die the next day.

However, this time, it's not the same case because Seraphina would never lure every underworld enemies she had. After all, she is the type of person that wanted to have fewer casualties she could. Hence, if she ever caught up in a bigger mess -- the biggest lost is her; their leader.

"You think too much." Alas, Seraphina kept her nonchalant demeanor and shrugged Wren's accusation without batting an eye. Just then, Rex arrived bringing some casual shirts and shorts that being sold nearby. Fortunately, Rex is a reliable companion. Without a word, he threw it one paper bag to Seraphina and the other one with Wren on the back seat before starting the engine.

After Seraphina and Wren change their clothes in the nearby public toilet, the corner of his lips twitched as Seraphina wear the same design outfit as his. Both were wearing a souvenir shirt from the island and beach shorts with the same design. If anyone sees them, they will assume that they are both country bumkin wearing matching clothes.

"You look poor." Seraphina uttered with disdain which made Wren gasped in disbelief. For god sake, they are wearing the same clothes how can she tell him that?

"You're wearing the same clothes!"

"Eh? Why does mine look better?" flaunting her beauty and shamelessness, Seraphina acted ignorant like she always does. Alas, the amused smirk beneath her jet black eyes were too evident to not notice by Wren.

Just as Wren would lash out at Seraphina's bullying, the sound of the honking car from their ride reached them which made their head to Rex ever inexpressive profile.

"Tch." cl_i_c_k_i_n_g his tongue in annoyance, Wren stomped his way to the back seat of the car while Seraphina cheerfully skipped her steps to the front passenger seat. The moment Wren entered the black expensive sedan, he sassed.

"Rex, is this the best clothes you can find here?!"

"Good Lord, forgive this ingrate." Seraphina who was entering the vehicle slightly shakes her head as she heard Wren's protests the moment she opened the car door. Rex who was under Wren's complains didn't utter a word as he unrestrainedly stepped on the pedal and sped away.

Seraphina, on the other hand, giggled as she was prepared and buckled her seatbelt the very instant she sat on the seat. After all, Rex would rather respond with his action instead of bantering with Wren's edgy attitude.

After the long drive, they finally reached Central City at five in the late afternoon. Alas, Seraphina wanted to drop by on the company since she hadn't gone there and would want to check its status.

Though she can do that the next day, however, George Yue must be rushing his schemes and might take advantage of her few days of absence. Thus, Seraphina needed to pat his head a little for him to relax -- disregarding her too casual clothes.

Reaching the parking space of the Yue International Enterprise, Seraphina told Rex and Wren to leave her as she can go home herself. After all, she won't take long and had grabbed ahold of her unstable mind because of the peace she perceived earlier. Moreover, Rex must be tired from all the driving back and forth for several hours straight.

Inside the Yue International Enterprise, Seraphina was halted by some guards as they didn't recognize her as the Chairwoman; not to mention, her too casual attire.

"I'm sorry, Miss -- but you're not allowed to enter the premises."

"Eh? Why?" Seraphina tilts her head in confusion about the guard's words. Though she knew she always wears myopia glasses whenever she was on her business mode, alas, it's not enough to not recognize her isn't?

"Do you perhaps work here?"

"Uh, yes?" she awkwardly answered as other employees started to whisper audibly and kept on glancing at her and her almost over-sized shirt and beach shorts. After all, Seraphina completely has forgotten about the employees' etiquette for a brief moment.

Even so, the guard still spoke lightly with her as he nodded in understanding. "Miss, if you are an employee, you must know the rules about our proper attire. I'm afraid I cannot let you pass unless you wear the proper dress code."

"But I have important work to do -- an unfinished business. Also, I don't remember such rule for the chairwoman." Seraphina frowned by the ignorance of her employees. Can't they see that it was her? Their big boss? However, given that they could only take a glimpse of her with her overly arranged bun and myopia glasses, it is understandable.

The guard who was halting Seraphina was slightly taken aback by Seraphina's claim before he frowned in disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e. He sees the chairwoman every day and even though the woman in front of him has the same height and dyed hair color just like the Chairwoman -- alas, on his understanding, why would the big boss present herself with a casual souvenir shirt and loose short as if she was at home?

Soon, whispers got louder as employees who are about to leave and others who are on break were seeing an unfamiliar face attempting and claiming she was the chairwoman.
