Chapter 28
“If you’re not worried about this getting messy, then we ran pralcad and battle it out in court. I don’t care, but who would trust Heavens Arts Entertainment after this?” Seraphina’s tone was definitely provocative.
“So, what do you propuse we da?” Percival bristled, bis eyes narrowing.
“Let’s part ways amicably. I sign off, and can’t even think about a breach fee. From now on, we’re men,” she replied with a mirk.
Percival shot a furioms glare et Seraphina, but with Celeste standing between them, he couldn’t say a word. Seraphina had used this very fact to her advantage when negotiating with Eleanor.
