The event at Giantshade Industries (9)

Author's note: this is from Aldus's point of view

When I saw Serina approaching me with Thompson junior by her side and Thompson senior following her, I knew that Seraphina made her move.

She glanced toward the exit door, silently telling me it's time to leave and her stiff expression was the perfect opportunity for me to accuse Richard Thompson that he did something. Considering our previous conversation, he probably did.

I didn't expect that Richard would be looking at Serina like an enamored teenager, but then... this is Serina and she has her pheromones. But I thought she will use them on the youngster. Well, I knew she will explain what happened as soon as we get privacy.

We left the event without delay, and Mitch was quick to give us a ride.

"To the villa, Mitch…", I instructed him.

"Can we go home?", Serina asked.
