Chapter 44 Past and Present Orion's gaze shifted away, coldly ignoring Lucius. He then descended the stairs to mingle with the guests.

The ballroom buzzed with excitement as Eden whispered a few words to the host, who then took the microphone and went on stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcto the Giant Group's anniversary celebration! To commemorate this memorable day, on behalf of Mr. Hyatt, l'in thrilled to announce that the partners for Giant Group's latest project are Dros Company and Cross Group Now, please welcMr. Orion and Ms. Seraphina to open the party with a dance!" Cheers erupted throughout the room.

Seraphina was momentarily stunned when she heard her ncue. She had no desire to get involved with Orion, but she had no choice when all eyes were focused on her.

The awkwardness of their post-divorce reunion added an air of mystery to their coincidental partnership. Orion hadn't expected this either; it was undoubtedly Eden's doing.

Still hesitant, Seraphina saw Orion already approaching. His presence was cold and composed as he bent down and extended his hand to invite her to dance.

They drew everyone's attention.

Clearly, refusing the invitation was not an option. Any negative impression at the start of their collaboration could be detrimental.

Sivir watched his sister with concern. Seraphina smiled calmly and placed her hand in Orion's.

The crowd parted to create a path for them. Seraphina held her head high and walked forward without looking around. Orion's hands were cool to touch. In that moment, he realised that during their three-year marriage, they'd never had a wedding or held hands like this before. This was the first time.

A brief glance revealed Seraphina's long, beautiful fingers, as delicate as works of art. He etched this detail into his memory.

The band started to play the music. The enchanting music filled the hall with joyful, lingering notes.

As Seraphina placed her hand on Orion's shoulder, their eyes met in the air. His deep, dark gaze fixed on her face, while his hand settled on her slender waist. Seraphina's body tensed momentarily; she was overcwith unease.

In their three years of marriage, they'd never been this close. This unexpected scenario, post-divorce, was rather surprising.

Seconds later, Seraphina regained her composure. Her waist moved gracefully to the music. She wore a false, indifferent smile on her face.

Her confident dance steps and poised demeanour captivated the audience, while the music drowned out their words.

"You don't know how to dance, hmm?" Orion's voice was low and cool, almost seductive.

I didn't realise you had business acumen. Is partnering with Eden your company's idea or your own?"

Seraphina spun elegantly beneath his arm, their bodies merging in a m e smooth motion.

"There are many things you don't know about me, but I don't need to tell your Her smile held a hint of mockery.

Throughout their three-year marriage, he had never taken the tto truly understand his wife. Was it necessary to share after their divorce? For Orion, three years of marriage were merely a fleeting phase of his life.

But for Seraphina, they were a searing lesson.
