12 You deserve happiness

Seeing Liam leaving his office, Seraphina immediately spoke.

"Did I disturb you?" She asked.

"Why are you here? Where's Chairman Yue?" Liam avoided her question as he didn't want to talked about it especially infront of Seraphina. Sera was quick witted and got his hint as she didn't probed further.

" Grandpa left an hour ago. He said he'lI picked me up tomorrow. And I'm here because I wanted to talked to you." She said as a matter-of-factly.

"Okay. Let's go to your room first."

In her hospital room:

Seraphina walked infront of the floor length window. Her gazed land at the crescent moon that glowed beautifully. It was captivating.

Liam stand beside Seraphina. His gazed was on her, waiting for her to speak. As Seraphina admired the beautiful crescent moon for awhile, Liam on the other hand also admired the beauty beside him. After a while, Seraphina turned to Liam. With a bright smiled plastered on her face, she spoke.

"I might not thank you properly tomorrow so I was wanted to give my thanks to you now. Even though I lost my memories, at least I started with a good one meeting a good friend like you making it bearable for me."

Liam was stunned hearing her speech as this was the first time she told her what he was like in her eyes. He didn't expect that she would appreciate his effort eventhough Liam did that in his own volition without expecting anything in return.

"Though I never thought that you like office romance—" Seraphina was abruptly interrupted by the continues coughing caused by Liam Jin. Liam almost choke in his own saliva as he knew what she was about to say. Seraphina laughed as she find him quite cute.

"Too bad. I almost wanted to marry you, ya know." She chuckled.

"You're incredibly handsome and smart and.. I'll just say that you are every girls dream guy. Plus you're like a walking gold! I could imagine you wife sleeping with a money bed."

'But not your dream guy' he thought. Liam knew she was a teased and wasn't serious by her words but he can't help his faced blushed as his heartbeat fastened. After a a few words of brown-nosing Seraphina said.

"But Im already disqualified because I have that kind of agenda so..." Seraphina starts to fiddle both her index finger as her gazed sparkle at the 'walking bank' standing before her.

"If you could lend me money as a friend that would be great." Hearing her last remarks, Liam couldn't help but laughed. Spending the past few months with Seraphina, he really didn't get accustomed to her odd train of thoughts. Most of their conversation would always leaped to the most unexpected topic.

"Why would you need money?" He chuckled.

"Nothing! I just want to make you laugh. You seem too uptight. Don't worry! You're secret is safe with me." Seraphina proudly exclaimed as she patted her chest. She really needed money but asking Liam money would be too suspicious so she trashed the idea as soon as she spoke her mind.

'Well, I still have own my means anyway.' She thought

Liam felt touched at what she said though the last sentence isn't really necessary. this is the first time she said something regarding him so he was incredibly in a good mood. Liam decided to be honest to her as he felt 'guilty' though a certain someone seemed not to care he still wanted to come clean.

"Nathalie is my fiancé."

"Ahh. I see. So it's not a secret huh"

"It was an arranged marriage."

"Do you like her?"

"No."

"If you don't like her you shouldn't marry her."

"..."

Seraphina felt Liam Jin melancholic aura surrounded him as he kept silent. Seraphina felt bad for Liam.

'Truly, this kind of family were a lot complicated than those below them.' She thought

"If you don't like her, you shouldn't marry her. That will save the both of you from a miserable loveless marriage..

Besides, Doctor Liam Jin is a capable man. You don't have to sacrifice yourself to be at the top. You also deserve happiness."

Seraphina was the kind of person that wanted freedom the most. Her words were sincere. She really wished that Liam Jin would have a peaceful and happy life. The path that they would take might be different but Seraphina considered Liam as her friend and if ever he needed her help, she would not hesitate to lend a hand.
