Unexpected Marriage: She is the Sugar Mommy!-Chapter 350: Movers and Shakers

At this moment, in the president’s office of Cloudsea Group, Quentin Jennings looked at Desmond Fairchild with shock: "Master Fairchild, since when did your emotional intelligence become so high, and you’re so good at flirting?"

Not long ago, Desmond Fairchild was still asking him for advice on everything related to emotions, and now, just after a few days, he had become so adept at it?

He said he needed Seraphina Sinclair’s help with something, but there was nothing actually needing her help. It was just an excuse to meet her.

Moreover, Quentin glanced at the phone surveillance, looking at Keith Hughes sitting in the reception room.

This time, calling Seraphina Sinclair over, it seemed that besides wanting to see her, the most important purpose was to suppress his romantic rival.

This two birds with one stone strategy is simply brilliant.

"Go meet him." Desmond Fairchild stood up and walked toward the reception room.

Quentin Jennings promptly got up and followed Desmond Fairchild.

Actually, he was also curious about why Keith Hughes suddenly visited.

Keith Hughes had just sat down when the female employee attending to him quickly made him a cup of coffee. He hadn’t even taken two sips when Desmond Fairchild’s voice came from the doorway.

"Young Master Hughes, long time no see."

Desmond Fairchild didn’t want to say much in terms of pleasantries. He’s never been a talkative person, and since the two of them aren’t really good friends, he wasn’t willing to bother with surface-level niceties.

Keith Hughes was still smiling as usual, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes, making him appear like a smiling tiger.

He raised his thin lips at Desmond Fairchild, full of pleasantries: "Yes, President Fairchild, it’s been a few days since we last met. How have you been recently?"

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Hughes. I’ve been quite well." Desmond Fairchild’s lips curled slightly as he accepted the coffee from the assistant, diving straight into the subject, "I wonder what brings Young Master Hughes to honor us with his presence?"

There was no personal friendship between him and Keith Hughes, so it was impossible for him to come to the company for personal matters.

However, if it were to discuss a collaboration, it wasn’t impossible either.

However, given Kevin’s influence and lately Eric Holt’s prestige in the company, it seemed unlikely that Keith Hughes would choose this time to discuss cooperation, so Desmond was somewhat curious about the actual reason.

Keith Hughes sipped his coffee, with a lazy look in his eyes, "This time, I’m indeed here for nothing important, just passing by. Incidentally, there’s something I want to hand over to President Fairchild."

"Oh?" Desmond Fairchild glanced at him lightly, "What needs to trouble Young Master Hughes to personally deliver?"

As his words fell, a black invitation card with gold embossing was placed before Desmond Fairchild along with Keith Hughes’s voice: "It’s my grandfather’s seventieth birthday, and I specially invite President Fairchild and Old Mrs. Fairchild to attend together."

"Old Master Hughes’s birthday, it is indeed worth attending." Desmond Fairchild signaled Quentin to accept the invitation and responded politely, "I will certainly attend with my grandmother at that time."

He wasn’t familiar with people of Old Master Hughes’s generation, but he knew that Old Master Hughes and his grandmother were once classmates and had been intimate friends for many years, so inviting his grandmother to his seventieth birthday was quite normal.

"We will eagerly await your distinguished presence then." Keith Hughes smiled, his tone full of courtesy and distance.

Desmond Fairchild cooperated by smiling as well, his gaze falling on Keith Hughes, noticing that he had another invitation in his suit pocket, with the gold patterns vividly shining though only a corner was exposed. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Without much thought, he could deduce who that invitation was for.

Keith Hughes hadn’t given up on Seraphina Sinclair, so he prepared two invitations, clearly not considering him and Seraphina as a unit.

Normally, a family needs only one invitation, and Keith Hughes’s deliberate preparation of two invitations already explained his intention.

But how could Desmond let him get his way? He glanced at his watch, estimating that his little girl would soon arrive.

Sure enough, just as he put down his hand, the door to the reception room was pushed open, and Seraphina Sinclair anxiously looked at Desmond Fairchild, her tone slightly worried, "Desmond, what could be so urgent that I..."

Before she finished speaking, Seraphina finally noticed Keith Hughes, surprised: "Senior, why are you here?"

Keith Hughes’s eyes darkened, feeling a string in his heart snap the moment Seraphina appeared. He curved his thin lips, still smiling warmly, "Just a minor matter, why are you here too?"

Seraphina naturally looked at Desmond Fairchild, her tone carrying a hint of complaint, "Desmond said he needed something from me, not knowing what urgent matter, so I rushed over."

She didn’t realize how naturally she spoke, naturally treating Desmond Fairchild as one of her people. Her coquettish glance, though complaining, carried a happy tone, clearly showing affection for him.

"Is that so?" Keith Hughes’s smile froze for a moment, but the next second he showed a more dazzling smile, "It seems that even though you and President Fairchild broke up, your relationship still seems quite good."

Rather than passively enduring, Keith Hughes preferred to take the initiative to attack.

He needed to hear Seraphina confirm her relationship with Desmond from her own mouth. If she didn’t admit it, he still had a chance.

"We had many misunderstandings before, although we broke up, we’re friends now." Seraphina didn’t admit to reconciling with Desmond, and with both Keith Hughes and Quentin Jennings present, she felt a bit embarrassed.

Upon hearing Seraphina say this, a trace of smile rose in Keith Hughes’s eyes again, and he nodded slightly without asking more, "You can still be friends after breaking up, truly kind-hearted, like I imagined. If it were another woman, they probably wouldn’t be in touch with the man who hurt them anymore."

He didn’t directly say that Desmond Fairchild had hurt Seraphina, but his words clearly told her to not repeat past mistakes.

Seraphina wasn’t dense, she understood Keith Hughes’s meaning. In emotional matters, it’s like drinking water, knowing whether it’s hot or cold.

Her relationship with Desmond has always been up to her, friends’ opinions can be heard to an extent, but ultimately, she makes the decision.

So, she dismissed Keith Hughes’s words with a smile, without responding.

But Desmond couldn’t just pretend he didn’t hear. Being bad-mouthed publicly by a rival, if he didn’t respond, wouldn’t that suggest he feels guilty?

Even if there’s guilt, it’s towards Seraphina, not Keith Hughes.

So he squinted his phoenix eyes slightly, giving Keith Hughes a half-smile: "Seraphina indeed has a kind heart, I won’t deny that. But some things are only known to those involved, aren’t they?"

"President Fairchild is right, but if it’s said by one person it might be a misunderstanding, but if everyone thinks so, what’s the credibility?" Keith Hughes slightly smiled, taking the conversation further.

The subtle confrontation between the two men wasn’t lost on Seraphina, she frowned, remaining silent.

Quentin Jennings, on the other hand, was engrossed in watching the spectacle, silently sitting on the side as if watching a show. He secretly signaled to Seraphina, mouthing, "No wonder you’re the sister-in-law, your charm is remarkable. To have the two most prominent figures in Bayside City compete for you, impressive!"
