Chapter 469 Are You Going to Blow Up the Hotel?

Seraphina sighed, deciding to endure the situation for his sake-after all, he had saved her. If the food turned out terrible, she would just eat a little less.

Orion's cold demeanor softened slightly as he worked, and she found him more bearable to look at.

But then-

Seraphina watched in surprise as Orion pulled out a measuring device and a thick cookbook from a bag, confidently preparing the ingredients.

Wow! What a rare scene!

When he began measuring the thickness of the shredded radishes with a ruler, Seraphina could no longer bear to watch. She grabbed her phone and retreated to her room. She felt like she was reliving the same situation with Sergio again!

How could she have overlooked the similarities between Orion and Sergio? Was this a common characteristic among engineering types?

She felt a little foolish for missing it.

Seraphina settled down at her computer to handle some emails. Less than ten minutes later, a loud bang jolted her from her focus.

Startled, she rushed out of her room to find the kitchen filled with smoke.

Orion emerged, his face dark and stormy, his expression decidedly grim.

She stared at him in shock.

"Orion, did you blow up the kitchen?" She exclaimed.

From the moment Orion stepped into the kitchen, Seraphina had braced herself for the worst.

Surely, the food would just taste a little off.

But the outcome was far from what she had expected; he hadn't even managed to cook anything before the kitchen had erupted into chaos.

The smoke billowed out, setting off the fire alarm.

Surprisingly, Orion appeared unfazed by the disaster. Even in this chaotic moment, he moved with an air of elegance, almost regal in his composure, although his expression betrayed a flicker of frustration. The sense of defeat and anger left him looking quite haggard.

"It was the equipment," he muttered as he grabbed Seraphina's arm and pulled her away from the disaster.

The oven malfunctioned at a high temperature, causing an automatic shutdown, even though there hadn't been a real fire.

The entire floor was affected, prompting the hotel manager to emerge and reassure the guests while rearranging accommodations and addressing damages.

Seraphina watched the dramatic scene unfold as Orion sat downstairs, completely removed from the chaos, engrossed in searching recipes on his phone.

His enthusiasm for cooking seemed unshakeable, even after the chaos he had caused!

Trying to suppress her anger, she couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. The hotel manager approached her, saying, "Ms. Cross, could you please take a look?" After all, this was her hotel, and her heart ached at the thought. In her mind, she cursed Orion a thousand

times.

This jerk was truly more of a disaster than a help.

With a nod, she followed the manager to inspect the damage. The entire floor was unrecognizable and would need a complete renovation; the losses were staggering. "We can handle everything else, but the hotel needs some time to reopen. We need to repair the damages, and this means Mr. Dros ..."

Could he cover the repairs?

The hotel manager hesitated, clearly troubled.

Seraphina paused, then decisively stated, "I will take responsibility for all the damages. I'll have Thomas get in touch with you for any issues. Just direct everything to him."

The hotel manager let out a sigh of relief. "Understood, Ms. Cross."

As she turned to head back, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure beside Orion.

Katie?

Seraphina furrowed her brow as she saw Katie beaming at Orion, handing him something with an eager expression.

Orion took it without even glancing at her, his indifference clear.

Katie lingered for a moment before leaving, looking a bit reluctant.

Seraphina pursed her lips, a thought suddenly striking her. She pulled out her phone and called Joseph.

"Who did you send to deliver the USB drive?"

Joseph seemed taken aback by her abrupt question but answered honestly.

"Katie. Everyone in the department is busy reconciling accounts, so she was the only one available."

"You gave such an important task to her?"

Seraphina felt her anger boil over. Had Joseph lost his mind?
