Chapter 74
“I hoped so Jennifer breathed out. “I felt confident in controlling everything, but I had no confidence at all when it came to him. He truly was a deity up high, making it hard for me to reach him.
“But I would try my best After all, he was the one I had loved since childhood, the person carved into my heart, and I would not easily give up.”
“Go for it!” Seraphina squeezed Jennifer’s hand. “You would definitely win his heart”
After bidding farewell to Jennifer, Seraphina returned to the villa, Sharon was arranging flowers in the greenhouse, and Seraphina idly followed along, learning and even arranging a vase of flowers for her own room.
“Sera, you were very perceptive. It was such a success on your first try. Sharon praised. “Pretty girls always have their uniquel insights into beauty”
Seraphina smiled feeling quite satisfied with her creation.
Sharon suddenly said. “Mr. Vanderbilt is coming back soon. Why don’t you arrange a bouquet for his room to give him a surprise”
Seraphina felt a bit eager but also hesitant Clarence had high standards for the quality of life, and she feared that he would laugh at her novice skills. “What if he doesn’t like it…
“He wouldn’t” Sharon replied. He would definitely like the flowers you prepared for him.”
Sharon’s firm tone gave Seraphina some motivation. “Alright! Sharon, guide me.”
“No problem: Sharon nodded.
Seraphina chose a few types of flowers and started arranging them.
Due to the modem decor of Clarence’s room, Seraphina kept her arrangement rather simple as well, unlike the many embellishments in her own room. The clear and resolute shape of the bouquet earned Sharon’s praise.
“I knew you had unique insights into beauty. Mr. Vanderbilt would definitely like this bouquet, Sharon said with a smile. “Go abead and place it in Mr. Vanderbilt’s room.”
Seraphina picked up the vase and prepared to leave but paused, handing the vase to Sharon. “Sharon, you should place it” “What’s wrong?” Sharon asked.
Seraphina smiled gently. “He doesn’t want me to step into his private space when he’s not at home.”
Sharon felt a bit helpless.
Clarence indeed had such a habit. He disliked anyone touching or pointing at his personal space, belongings, or matters. His room was off–limits to anyone except Sharon. Therefore, Sharon was the only one to clean Clarence’s room.
That was something Mr. Vanderbilt said at the beginning of your relationship, rigla!” Sharon chuckled lightly. “But that doesn’t mean it’s still the case now. Sera, you arranged the flowers, and you should place them yourself. Mr. Vanderbilt wouldn’t be angry
Seraphina shook her head. “I’d better not break the rules” She thought. Although Sharon has gained Clarence’s trust, she still cannot represent him. He hasn’t permitted me to get into his private space, and I should keep my distance

Alright then. Sharon accepted the vase.
Seraphina sat back down in her chair, picking up a leaf idly, pinching its stem, and gently rotating it. Bathed in sunlight, she ippeared calm, but her gaze at the leaf revealed an unmistakable hint of disappointment.
Sharon felt a twinge of pity, thinking, ‘Clarence must not miss such a wonderful girl like Sera. “Sera, Mr. Vanderbilt is coming back the day after tomorrow. Sharon suddenly said.
Seraphina looked up and nodded. “I know.”
That day is Mr. Vanderbilt’s birthday, Sharon reminded with a smile. “maybe you could give him a little surprise”
Before Seraphina could respond. Sharon walked away with the vase, Sharon knew that a snart girl like Seraphina would naturally understand her meaning.
Seraphina suddenly remembered that during the phone call with Clarence in the morning, he specifically told her to be sure to stay home the day after tomorrow,
She thought, Could it be that he wants to celebrate his birthday with me? On such a special day, he actually wants my company. Suddenly, a wave of warmth surged in Seraphina’s heart.
This would be the first birthday I spent with him. What kind of gift should I give him?” She recalled the million–dollar gift Jennifer chose for her crush, and Seraphina felt quite inadequate. The money in her account didn’t exceed three thousand dollars, which meant she simply couldn’t afford a sophisticated gift for Clarence.
Seraphina believed that only the watch Jennifer bought could match Clarence’s status, But at that moment, she couldn’t afford it. Although she had Clarence’s credit card and debit card, she couldn’t use his money to buy a gift for him.
Therefore. Seraphina decided to play the heartfelt card. However, the gift had to be clever as well.
After thinking all night, Seraphina couldn’t come up with a good idea. The next morning, she went out to stroll around. hoping to spark some inspiration.
After shopping around for a while, she finally spotted a handmade DIY shop. The store displayed many handcrafted little trinkets that looked quite creative.
Seraphina had a sudden inspiration, thinking, ‘Maybe I can make a gift for Clarence myself. That would be a truly unique gift in the world‘
She entered the shop, which had several tables where couples were sweetly working on their projects together.
The owner, a girl, warmly welcomed Seraphina as she entered. “Miss, what would you like to make? Who is it for? I can recommend something for you.”
“For a guy. Seraphina replied.
“Is it for your boyfriend?”
Seraphina didn’t answer directly, just smiled.
Assuming Seraphina had implied it, the owner enthusiastically said, “Miss, we have many things here suitable for boyfriends. Each item carries different meanings, being both economical and rich in sentiment. There’s nothing more meaningful than giving a gift made by yourself to your beloved
“Do you have any recommendations? Seraphina asked.
“Follow ine.” The owner took Seraphina around the shop, recommending several types of gifts suitable for men, bur Seraphina wasn’t particularly satisfied with any of them. However, the ones she liked needed some time, and she couldn’t finish and take them home today.

She thought. Tomorrow is Clarence’s birthday. I can’t wait until after his birthday to give him a gilt.
“Anything else?” Seraphina asked.
“Are you not satisfied with any of them” The owner looked a bit troubled.
Seraphina shook her head.
Although the items the owner introduced were thoughtful, they seemed too childish for Clarence. After all, he was a prominent figure. While these gifts could express Seraphina’s feelings, they felt too flashy
“Oh you will definitely like this, the owner suddenly said, leading Seraphina to the counter and picking up a cup. “This is called a magic mug. You can imprint someone’s photo on the surface. When hot water is poured in, the mug changes color, revealing the photo. This gift is perfect for a boyfriend”
Seraphina looked at the dark mug but didn’t feel moved
