Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 141

Two weeks later, Leandro and Keen, along with other members of the work crew, hopped on a flight

back to Sunburst City

Meanwhile, Seraphina was still MIA

Leandro sat by the window, seemingly casual but deeply engrossed in a document.

Keen took a peek at the document, then his gaze drifted to the clouds outside the window. He sighed

heavily

Things could really go south if they kept going like this

Upon returning in the country, Leandro fully committed into his work, sparing only a little time for Valerio

and Conway. As for looking for Seraphina, he never brought it up again.

Despite this, Keen stayed on alert, keeping in close touch with detective agencies all over Starhaven.

After two anxiety-filled weeks, Keen got a sudden late-night call

It was on his work phone. Keen picked up, only to hear Seraphina’s voice on the other end: “Keen!”

For a moment, he nearly lost it.

Trying to calm himself, he suddenly stood up “Ms. Bennett, where are you now?” “What does it matter

where I am?” Seraphina’s voice sounded lazy. “I’m calling to tell you to stop looking for me. I’m

working, get it?”

Keen was livid at her attitude, all his anxiety and anger came bubbling up. “You disappeared out of the

blue. Mr. Reynolds is worried sick about you, you

know?”

Seraphina chuckled after hearing this, “Is that so? How is he worried?”

Realizing he walked into a trap, Keen clammed up. He then asked, “Ms. Bennett, can you tell me

where you are now? I’ll call off all the detectives once I confirm your location”

*No can do.” Seraphina replied

Keen paused for a moment, then said, “Ms. Bennett, I don’t know why you’re doing this. But Mr.

Reynolds genuinely cares about you. I can tell he really likes you

“So what?” Seraphina retorted, “Should I be grateful?”

Taking a deep breath, Keen resumed, “You didn’t act like this when we were in Moonhaven. Ms.

Bennett, are you cheating Mr. Reynolds’ feelings?”

At this, Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh. After a while, she said, “Keen, isn’t it all about whether both

parties are willing when it comes to relationships? I was interested in your boss in Moonhaven, so I was

willing to date him. Then it got boring, so I ended it. It’s pretty straightforward, why make a fuss?” “How

could you act like this?” Keen said angrily. “You could’ve at least told us if you wanted to leave, right?

What’s up with the sudden disappearance?”

“Okay, then I’ll tell you now, Seraphina said, “Could you please tell your boss to chill about love? Just

be happy. He was important when I needed him. But now that I don’t, I hope he would stay away. Your

boss should know the drill, it shouldn’t be too much for him to handle. Tell him to stop bugging me!”

Keen wanted to say something after hearing Seraphina’s words, but she had already hung up.

Holding the phone, Keen stood there, somewhat at a loss.

He didn’t expect Seraphina to show up, let alone say such things.

How was he supposed to break this to Leandro?

However, while Keen was still dazed, Leandro came out of his office, looking ready to call it a day

Keen hastily put down the phone, forcing a smile at Leandro, “Mr. Reynolds”

Leandro gave him a glance, asking only one question, “Who called?”

“It was… Ms. Seraphina,” Keen managed to respond

Hearing this name, Leandro’s expression didn’t change. He went to his desk and pressed the playback

button

Then, Leandro leaned against the desk, quietly listening to the conversation between him and

Seraphina.

The office was extremely quiet. Seraphinas words were clear despite the changes in her voice over the

phone.

“When I need him, he’s obviously important. Now that I don’t, I hope he would stay away from me”

Keen hung his head, not daring to look at Leandro’s face, just standing quietly on the side.

After the recording ended, Keen hurriedly said, “Mr. Reynolds, I will find Ms. Bennett’s whereabouts as

soon as possible. She knows we’re looking for her and even called us. We should be able to find her

soon.”

“No need,” Leandro suddenly said

Only then did Keen look at Leandro. He was still calm, but his eyes revealed a careless laziness.

Keen was all too familiar with this look

Leandro was usually composed, his laughter might not be genuine and his anger might not be real. But

when he wore this expression, he was truly pis sed

And his anger meant major actions were about to take place.

“Call the staff in Moonhaven, Leandro said.

Hearing this, Keen couldn’t help but clench his fists.

A month later, in Everlandia.

On a Wednesday evening, an old-fashioned bar was empty. Seraphina, dressed in a waitress uniform,

was chatting with another waitress. Just as they were laughing, the bell at the door rang and a man in

his thirties walked in.

For the past two months, this man had been visiting about once a week, each time staying for several

hours.

Too lazy to get up, Seraphina gestured for the other waitress to attend to him.

The two got along well, so the waitress didn’t mind her slacking off. She took the lead and greeted the

customers.

Seraphina was lounging on the couch, engrossed in her phone, when she suddenly heard that waitress

call her name.

She looked up to see him standing next to a man, who was looking straight at her.

Seraphina put down her phone and got up, smiling, “What can I do for you?”

The man just handed her a glass of liquor and leaned back in his chair, “Have a drink.”

Seraphina eyed the drink for a moment before happily agreeing, “Sure thing!”

薯

She had been hanging out at this bar for two whole months, and finally, the day came when the man

initiated conversation with her.

She picked up the glass and downed the drink without hesitation.

A smile appeared on the typically stoic face of the man across from her.

Seraphina put down her glass and was about to speak when the phone in her pocket vibrated a few

times. She shrugged at the man, pulled out her phone, and suddenly the smile on her lips froze.
