The betrayal and deceit he inflicted on her in their past life—this time, he had to experience the same, to be deceived, betrayed, and left with nothing. Otherwise, it just wouldn't be fair, would it? Since he likes stocks so much, I might as well play this little game with him. Seraphina smiled warmly and sweetly. "Oh, it's you! About what happened last time, I'm sorry. I wasn't in the best mood then, so I hope you don't hold it against me." Rowan waved his hand dismissively. "It's fine. Everyone has bad days sometimes." Switching topics, Rowan grew a little excited. "The Cloud Inc. stock you bought last time was incredible—it's had the best growth recently. How did you know? Do you have any tips?" As soon as he said this, Rowan quickly added, "Of course, if it's inconvenient to share, no worries. I'm just curious, so I asked." Seraphina smiled and replied, "It's no secret. To be honest, I saw it was at its lowest price that day. I figured, if it's already so cheap, it's unlikely to fall much further—any lower, and it'd be worthless. If it doesn't drop, then it'll probably rise, so I bought it. It's really that simple." He was stunned, a little incredulous. But if she was lying, the girl standing in front of him, with her clear, innocent gaze, didn't seem like the type. "Was that your first time buying stocks?" Rowan asked. She nodded and then quietly added, "Actually, my intuition is usually pretty accurate." "Intuition?" He believed in such things. When he first got into the stock market, he'd made a bit of money relying on his instincts. Hearing that she also relied on intuition made him feel like he'd found a kindred spirit. Rowan eagerly explained, "It's not intuition—it's a form of sharp observational ability. Legendary figures like Buffett and Andrew Foster have incredible insight and intuition that allow them to sense opportunities earlier than ordinary people. That's how they became legends. For people like us, some might have it, some don't, and sometimes it just happens randomly. It's this indescribable, almost magical feeling." Seraphina nodded as if half-understanding, looking like a well-behaved student quietly soaking in his lecture. Her demeanor greatly satisfied Rowan's love for teaching, and he began rambling on enthusiastically. Seraphina listened intently the entire time, her focused and receptive expression encouraging him further. The more he spoke, the more animated he became, and his gaze softened as he looked at her, his attitude naturally becoming warmer and more familiar. "Sera, I'm thinking of buying this stock. What do you think?" Rowan asked. Seraphina pondered for a moment, carefully weighing her words. "To be honest, Rowan, I came here today to sell all the shares I bought earlier.""Why? This stock has so much momentum and still has the potential to keep rising. Even the experts on TV think so," Rowan said with a frown. "My gut tells me it's going to fall, so I'm selling it today. That's just how I feel, but whether you want to buy it or not is up to you. If you're asking for my opinion, though, I wouldn't recommend it." Her candid and unreserved response won Rowan's trust. His intention to buy the stock suddenly wavered. Still, based on his experience, it should have one more spike before leveling off. Seraphina stood up. "Rowan, I have something to do, so I'll get going now." "Alright, we'll keep in touch." "Okay." She nodded. The moment she turned away, the sweet smile on her face disappeared without a trace..
