CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 78: TRUE IDENTITY

Over the years, many beautiful women have come knocking, expressing a desire to meet their CEO, but unfortunately, most have been turned away.

Seraphina Sinclair’s eagerness to inquire about the CEO as soon as she arrived naturally aroused the security guard’s suspicion.

"Wait, what do you mean by ’don’t provoke him’?"

Seraphina Sinclair had lived abroad for years and wasn’t familiar with domestic companies, nor did she know that the Cloudsea Group was backed by the Fairchild Clan.

The security guard saw Seraphina Sinclair’s curious demeanor and felt that she didn’t seem like she was faking it, so he decided to cautiously share some information about the CEO with her.

When she heard from the security guard’s mouth that Desmond Fairchild was the CEO of Cloudsea Group, she felt a buzzing in her head.

Seraphina Sinclair could hardly imagine that the man who was so diligent in asking for wages every month, stingy about paying for meals, and also had a child with her, was actually the head of Bayside City’s top group, Cloudsea Group?

This was too ridiculous, wasn’t it? No wonder he had once spent lavishly to buy a diamond to gift her and had extravagantly renovated their home without caring about the cost.

Yet she had never questioned these details and thought he was just used to being extravagant from his PR job.

"So, Miss, you’d better not disgrace yourself. Our CEO is not a man who focuses on that kind of thing."

The security guard spoke tactfully, implying to Seraphina Sinclair not to think of swaying Desmond Fairchild with feminine charm.

But at this moment, Seraphina Sinclair was in complete shock, and she didn’t listen to a word the security guard said.

She didn’t even say goodbye to the security guard before turning and walking in another direction.

Almost twenty minutes passed, and Seraphina Sinclair still couldn’t calm her emotions.

How could such a thing happen to her? Just thinking about it, Seraphina Sinclair found it bizarre.

She didn’t know how to face Desmond Fairchild, and when she thought about her past actions, she wished she could just disappear into a hole in the ground.

With the wealth of Cloudsea Group, not only did she financially support him, but she had even asked Desmond Fairchild to accompany her drinking in front of so many people?

Just then, the ringing phone in Seraphina Sinclair’s bag brought her back to reality.

She immediately opened her backpack and took out the phone.

Seeing it was a call from Desmond Fairchild, Seraphina Sinclair’s heart sunk, and she didn’t dare to answer.

It took a long time until the ringing was almost to the end before Seraphina Sinclair slid to answer the call.

"Hello, what are you doing right now?"

As soon as she picked up the phone, Seraphina Sinclair heard the familiar and gentle voice on the other side.

Desmond Fairchild probably didn’t expect that she already knew his true identity...

"Nothing, just wandering around. How about you?" Seraphina Sinclair’s response was extremely cold, indicating she was bothered by this matter.

She couldn’t understand why Desmond Fairchild would deceive her. Did he find it amusing to see her being completely unaware of the truth?

Upon hearing Seraphina Sinclair’s reply, there was apparent silence from Desmond Fairchild on the other end of the phone.

Although they hadn’t known each other for long, living closely together, Desmond Fairchild already had a certain understanding of Seraphina Sinclair and could tell her mood was off.

"What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?" Desmond Fairchild quickly asked, sounding anxious.

Seeing the man so worried, Seraphina Sinclair impulsively felt the urge to clarify the matter.

"Desmond Fairchild, I have a question I want to ask you, and I hope you can answer truthfully."

Seraphina Sinclair was giving Desmond Fairchild a final chance; if he chose to deceive her again, their relationship would likely come to an end.

"Okay, go ahead." Desmond Fairchild cautiously replied.

"You aren’t really a male public relations officer, are you? You’re the heir of Cloudsea Group, right?"

When Seraphina Sinclair asked these questions, the phone line went instantly silent.

Then there was a long dead silence, and both held onto their phones, listening to each other’s shallow, rhythmic breathing, but neither spoke.

"Where are you now? I’ll come find you."

Desmond Fairchild understood that since she dared to confront him, it proved she already had the answer in her heart.

"I’m right outside the Cloudsea Group entrance."

"Alright, wait for me, I’ll come down right away."

After hanging up, Desmond Fairchild immediately set aside his work to find Seraphina Sinclair; as soon as he exited the company’s doors, he saw her standing not far away.

Lonely pacing back and forth on the path, she seemed troubled.

At that very moment, Seraphina Sinclair turned around, seeing Desmond Fairchild watching her not far away, instinctively frowned, and slowly walked towards him.

"You’ve come down, why not come over? Why stand so far away?"

Seraphina Sinclair was truly preoccupied today, and every little move by Desmond Fairchild seemed suspect in her eyes.

"It’s nothing, I just came down as well. Have you eaten lunch? Why don’t we find a place to sit and talk?"

This matter would require some explaining and with lunchtime approaching, they might as well discuss it over a meal, so Desmond Fairchild suggested inviting her to have lunch together.

"Alright, we should find a place to talk it over." Having gone around in circles, Seraphina Sinclair was a bit weary and quickly agreed.

But Seraphina Sinclair wasn’t in the mood to enjoy a feast now, so she simply chose a restaurant nearby that looked suitable.

Upon reaching the restaurant, Desmond Fairchild ordered dishes based on Seraphina Sinclair’s preferences before looking up at her.

Seraphina Sinclair kept staring at him from start to finish.

"Feel free to ask anything you want."

"Desmond Fairchild, I hope you can honestly tell me, what are you really?"

Women might prefer asking the obvious, even if they already know the answer, but Seraphina Sinclair hoped the truth could come from Desmond Fairchild himself.

Why did he keep it from her for so long?

Desmond Fairchild pursed his lips: "Since you’ve brought it up, I don’t want to hide it either. I’m the CEO of Cloudsea Group."

Though initially cautious, his feelings for Seraphina Sinclair and her child gradually changed.

From the beginning, Desmond Fairchild never intended to deceive her, but the situation developed too suddenly, even he didn’t anticipate it would come to this.

"So you admit you’ve been lying to me all along? Is that it?" Seraphina Sinclair was somewhat angered seeing Desmond Fairchild say these words calmly.

During this period, they spent a lot of time together, and Desmond Fairchild had countless opportunities to tell her the truth, yet he chose not to do so.
