Chapter 138
The night Leandro returned to the apartment, Seraphina wasn’t around
Keen had brought some files over Upon seeing the situation, he immediately said, “I’m gonna call Ms.
Bennett.”
After putting down the files, Keen dialed Seraphina’s number, hoping she wouldn’t be fooling around
this time.
But his worst fear came true. No one picked up the call.
Keen tried three times, but still no answer. Finally, he sighed in disappointment and told Leandro, “No
one’s picking up. I’ll check with Laura‘
Laura entered quickly, upon hearing them inquiring about Seraphina, she chimed in, I saw Ms. Bennett
leaving today. She said she was heading back to Velvetwood”
At this, Keen immediately glanced at Leandro, tentatively asking. “No answer on her phone. Want me
to head to Velvetwood and check?”
Leandro, sitting on the couch with a half–smoked cigarette in hand, simply responded, “No need.”
If she could stay put in the apartment, she wouldn’t be the Seraphina they knew how
Plus, there should be plenty waiting for her in Velvetwood.
Leandro extinguished his cigarette and moved to his bedroom.
Seeing this, Keen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left with Laura.
The following day, at the Reynolds Group’s Starhaven branch..
Work was especially heavy that day. Keen had already dealt with three or four emergencies in the
morning when the receptionist called, saying a woman claiming to be Seraphina was here to see
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeandro without an appointment.
–
Hearing this, Keen immediately felt a headache coming on why was this woman always causing trouble
when he was busiest?
But this woman was Seraphina after all, so Keen had no choice but to say, “Let her up!”
After hanging up, he quickly instructed his colleagues before heading to the elevator to wait for
Seraphina.
The elevator quickly reached their floor, and as the elevator doors opened, Keen was about to greet
her, when a punk–style girl with outrageous makeup dashed out.
Keen didn’t react in time, and the girl had already stormed past him towards the office.
By the time Keen caught up, it was too late.
The office layout here was simpler than at the Reynolds Group in Sunburst City. The girl dashed
around the office for a bit before spotting Leandro’s office and headed straight for it.
By the time she had pushed open the door and half her body was in Leandro’s office, Keen finally
managed to grab her.
“Who are you?” Keen asked sternly.
Inside the office, Leandro was engrossed in his paperwork. Upon hearing the commotion, he looked up
and immediately spotted Farrah, half inside and half outside his office door.
“He knows me! Farrah snapped, kicking at Keen in irritation. “Let go of me!”
To Keens surprise, Leandro signaled for him to let her go.
Keen reluctantly let go and quickly moved to Leandro’s side, whispering, “She told the receptionist she
was Seraphina. I thought she was Ms. Bennett, so I let her in”
Farrah was now sitting across from Leandro’s desk, provocatively eyeing Keen as he explained the
situation to Leandro.
Leandro signaled for Keen to step outside, then turned to Farrah, “What do you want?”
Chin lifted high, Farrah retorted, “I need your help!”
“Why?”
“I’ve investigated you I know you’re the head of the Reynolds family in Sunburst City. I know the
influence the Reynolds family has in Sunburst City and Moonhaven. I believe you can help me.” Farrah
stated.
Leandro put down his paperwork, quietly sitting and watching her, “That’s not a reason.”
At this, Farrah furrowed her brows, then decisively said, “I’ll do whatever you want if you help me, for
as long as you want.”
Leandro didn’t respond, instead, he pressed the button for Keen’s line, ‘Please escort this lady out.”
Before Farrah could react and hang up the phone, Keen was already in the office, “Ma’am, could you
please leave?”
“I’m not leaving” Farrah looked at Leandro, “I’ll agree to any condition if you help me!”
Leandro had already returned to his paperwork, ignoring her
Seeing that this woman was not easy to deal with and that Leandro had no intention of accommodating
her, Keen called in security to escort Farrah out
of Leandro’s office.
However, that evening. Keen got a call from reception saying someone wanted to see him.
Keen wasn’t busy at the time, so he went downstairs to see who it was
At the reception desk, a youthful girl around 18 or 19, wearing jeans and a white t–shirt, hair in a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmponytail, beautifully radiant was waiting for him.
Keen was a bit confused, when had he met such a girl?
You were looking for me?” Keen asked hesitantly
The girl nodded, “Yeah, we met this morning, remember?”
Keen was taken aback, her voice sounded familiar. After a moment, he made the connection, “It’s
you?!”
“Yes” Farrah said, “I want to see Leandro, take me to see him!”
Keen turned to leave, “Sorry, Mr. Reynolds is too busy to meet you”
I’ve got something to tell him, about Seraphina!” Farrah rushed to the elevator lobby, grabbing Keen’s
arm tightly.
The mention of the name Seraphina gave Keen a headache. He turned to look at her and had to admit,
she looked a lot better now than she did in the morning. If she had shown up looking like this in the
morning, he might not have let security chase her away.
He really didn’t feel like getting up at the moment, sighed, and asked, “Do you know about the
relationship between Mr. Reynolds and Seraphina?”
“I know they’ve got some kind of thing going on!” Farrah responded. “Seems like, Mr. Reynolds is quite
smitten with Seraphina!”
“Then why are you here?” Keen frowned, pushed her hand away, and said, “You can leave now. Mr.
Reynolds won’t help you.”
“And what gives you the right to decide that?” Farrah grabbed him again, “Tell him, I’ve got crucial info
about Seraphina, he’ll be interested!”
Keen couldn’t stand it, sighed deeply again, and pushed her hand away once more, “Fine, wait here. If
you barge in again, I’ll call security to kick you out.”
He stepped into the elevator, and Farrah just stood outside, watching him intently, “I’m telling the truth.
If you don’t pass it on, you’ll regret it. If your boss doesn’t listen, he’ll regret it too!”
