Upon hearing this, Seraphina couldn't help but roll her eyes at Sandy before she spoke, "He's got an important meeting today. I guess he's still tied up."
"Huh?" Sandy frowned, "You mean Mr. Reynolds isn't coming?"
At that, Seraphina just gave a faint smile, "He'll be here."
Her casual assurance made Sandy somewhat envious of their relationship. "What makes you so sure?"
Seraphina just gave her another eye roll, "Let's go. It’s starting soon."
Sandy shrugged and led the rest of the staff to follow Seraphina into the venue.
Inside, the room was packed and buzzing with excitement.
Seraphina made her way to the front with a smile, greeting seated guests along the way.
Just as Sandy had said, everyone who was supposed to be there, and those who weren't, were all present.
It was time for the event she'd carefully planned to start.
Seraphina took her seat at the head table, with John, Edgar, Victor, and others who were already arranged to be there, along with Bowen and Tania.
Tania seemed quite pleased with the seating arrangement. When Seraphina sat down, she even gave her a small smile.
Seraphina returned the gesture, then turned to Bowen, "Bowen, you didn't donate any items for the auction. You better participate in the auction later, or I won't welcome you.”
"Relax." Tania jumped in before Bowen could respond, "He just got back from out of town. When he heard about your charity auction, he insisted on coming to support you. He'll definitely participate."
Seraphina looked a bit surprised, "Bowen, you did this for me? I'm touched."
Bowen looked at her, gave her a slight smile and said, "Sera, this is your event. I'll definitely support it."
Seraphina couldn't help but laugh.
At eight sharp, the event started on time.
After a brief introduction, the host invited Seraphina to give a speech.
Before she could even start speaking, the room erupted in applause.
Seraphina glanced around the room and saw Bowen watching her quietly. Tania clapped a couple of times for show, but he remained unmoved.
"Thank you all for attending tonight's charity auction," Seraphina began, "The auction is primarily to raise funds for disabled people worldwide, especially those with visual impairments. I hope that your generosity can give them hope and help them regain their sight."
The room erupted in a round of applause. Seraphina paused for a moment before continuing, "This charity auction is held in the name of a friend of mine who has passed away. She was perfectly fine except for her eyes, which led to an accident—"
Bowen slightly narrowed his eyes, a faint smile still on his lips.
"So, in saying goodbye to her and in her memory, I organized this charity auction," Seraphina continued, "I thank you all for your generous donations. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Doing good deeds will bring good rewards."
After Seraphina finished her short speech, the auction officially began.
