The car pulled up behind her.
Seraphina climbed into Sebastian's car and immediately started complaining.
Her voice trembled with unshed tears.
“Sebastian! Look at him! He just dumped me in the middle of the road! There were even some colleagues around. He didn't leave me an ounce of dignity!”
Sebastian lazily spun the steering wheel. “You're the one who practically begged to go work for Jaxson. Who else are you going to blame? When you graduated, I told you I'd show you the ropes at our company. What was wrong with that?”
Everything was wrong with that.
That was Jaxson Hayes!
Seraphina wanted to scoff. How did Sebastian have the audacity to compare their family business to Jaxson's empire?
Everyone knew that marrying Jaxson would be the ultimate step up in society.
Seraphina hadn't always been this obsessed with him.
It started when she visited Sebastian at college and bumped into Jaxson. She was instantly mesmerized by his striking face, perfect physique, and an imposing aura that put him leagues above anyone else.
Later, when she found out he was the heir to the Hayes family, that crush twisted into a full-blown obsession.
She wanted to be the matriarch of the Hayes family.
Seraphina pouted. “It's different! I just really like Jaxson! Besides, isn't it better if the family business goes to you? I don't want to fight you for it. Just help me get together with him. It'll benefit our family's business too.”
Sebastian knew that perfectly well.
If they could secure an alliance with the Hayes family, the Judson family would reap endless rewards.
But the way Jaxson acted, he didn't seem the slightest bit interested in Seraphina.
Then again, who knows?
Back in the day, nobody ever thought Jaxson would end up dating Phoebe for years, right?
Sebastian gave a vague hum of agreement.
