Chapter 340
In the coming time, Seraphina formed a professional team and started planning for a charity auction gala.
The news had just been released and before the invitation letters were even sent out, many people already
volunteered to participate in the charity event and donate auction items.
Seraphina had to carefully sift through everything, from the guest list to the donations, she did everything
personally.
Because she was Leandro’s wife and she had a wide social circle, there were so many people who wanted to
participate, which invisibly increased her workload.
Seraphina didn’t have other works to deal with, so preparing for these things wasn’t difficult for her.
People like John Garcia, Victor Farris, and Edgar Lamont all sent valuable donations, and Seraphina didn’t hesitate to
accept them. As for the others, she sifted through them, keeping the suitable ones and returning the unsuitable
ones.
After careful comparison and consideration, Seraphina selected a dozen or so of the most suitable items for the
auction.
–
Everything was going smoothly, but the most important thing – the venue, was still not confirmed.
One late night, when Leandro came home, Seraphina was taking a bath in the bathroom and the bed was covered
with various materials for the charity gala.
Leandro took off his coat and sat down by the bed, casually picking up two pieces of information and found that
they were about the banquet venue.
When Seraphina came out of the bathroom after her bath, drying her hair, Leandro finally asked, “Have you
decided on the venue for the charity gala?”
“Nope,” Seraphina replied, “all the banquet halls of those hotels are pretty much the same…”

Seraphina put down the towel in her hand, picked up a page from the pile of materials, and showed it to Leandro,
“Because my favorite location is actually this place.”
Leandro took a look, “Cedarcrest Chateau?”
“It’s a private estate. Sandra really likes this place,” Seraphina said, “She once said that if she were to have a
wedding in the future, she would hold it there.”
Leandro listened, looked at the information in his hand again, and then asked, “Can’t you rent this place?”
“The owner of Cedarcrest Chateau is a quirky old man,” Seraphina sighed slightly, “It seems there’s no chance.”
Leandro put down the information in his hand and said, “I’ll have Keen talk to him.”
Seraphina rolled her eyes, “I couldn’t negotiate it myself, how could Keen succeed? Don’t get my hopes up.”
Leandro didn’t respond.
Seraphina didn’t hold any hope, but two days later, when she decided to choose another venue and had informed
the team to prepare to print the invitation letters, Leandro came home late at night and suddenly put a lease
contract in front of her.
Seraphina was sitting on the bed reading the papers. When she suddenly saw the contract, she immediately sat up
straight. After reading it carefully, she was so happy that she almost shouted, “Keen did it!”
Seeing her instantly cheerful expression, Leandro replied indifferently, “Yeah.”
“Wow, Keen is really capable,” Seraphina said happily, “I owe him an apology, I take back what I said a couple of
days ago!”
As she spoke, she got off the bed in excitement and quickly picked up the phone to communicate with the team.
Leandro didn’t disturb her making the call, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.
When Leandro came out of the bathroom after his shower, Seraphina was nowhere to be seen in the bedroom.
Leandro frowned slightly, walked out of the bedroom, and glanced at the study.
Seraphina was sitting behind the desk, sketching something.
“What are you drawing?” Leandro walked in and asked.
“Since we’ve rented Cedarcrest Chateau, I’m planning to redesign the invitation according to the style of
Cedarcrest Chateau. You don’t have to wait for me, go to bed first,” Seraphina answered without looking up.
Leandro sat quietly across from her for a while, then finally got up and went back to the room.
Two or three hours later, Seraphina finally returned to the room.
She climbed into bed quietly, but as soon as she lay down, a hand reached out from under the blanket and pulled
her into an embrace.
“Have you finished your drawing?” Leandro asked in a low voice.
“Not yet, Seraphina yawned, “I’m tired, and I’ll finish it tomorrow…”
Leandro heard this, just tightened his arms around her, and soon heard her steady breathing as she gradually fell
asleep.
The next day, as soon as Seraphina’got up, she continued drawing the invitation. After a busy morning, she finally
sorted out all the details.
Just after lunch, she received a call from Leandro’s friend Hal Jacques, saying that he had just returned from
abroad and heard that she was holding a charity gala He prepared a painting and had already sent it to the
Reynolds Group.
Seraphina had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she changed her clothes and went out to the Reynolds Group to
pick up the painting..
When she arrived at the 26th floor, both Keen and Yasmina were there. Seraphina greeted them and was about to
go in and find Leandro. “Mr. Reynolds has gone to a government department for a meeting,” Keen told her, “He
hasn’t come back yet.”
Seraphina heard this and couldn’t help but be puzzled, “Both of you are here, but he’s not?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI have other things to do and can’t leave, so someone accompanied Mr. Reynolds out, Keen explained.
“You’re really great,” Seraphina looked at him and sincerely praised, “You’re truly a busy man! By the way, thanks
for the Cedarcrest Chateau thing!”
Keen heard this and was slightly stunned, “Why do you thank me?”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow slightly, “Wasn’t it you who helped me negotiate it?”
Keen coughed awkwardly, then began, “I indeed went there, but I didn’t even get to see the owner of Cedarcrest
Chateau, Mr. Spencer…”
Seraphina thought of the lease contract she had seen the night before, “So who help me?”
“Mr. Spencer is a special case, not someone I can meet just because I want to,” Keen explained, “Mr. Reynolds
himself went there several times. He even waited outside the Cedarcrest Chateau for five to six hours yesterday
before Spencer agreed to see him. Eventually, Spencer agreed to lend us the Cedarcrest Chateau for
our event.”
Seraphina paused, taken aback.
During her previous visits, she hadn’t faced such difficulties. Perhaps Spencer had grown tired of her persistence,
which was why Leandro faced these obstacles.
However…
“Did he really need to go in person for such a small matter?” Seraphina turned and asked, “Isn’t he extremely busy
lately? Does he actually have time to handle these things?”
At this, Yasmina suddenly chuckled, “In comparison to your matters, Mrs. Reynolds, everything else is trivial, isn’t
it?”
Seraphina glared at her, to which Yasmina replied somewhat innocently, “I’m just stating the fact. If you don’t
believe me, ask Keen.”
Keen cleared his throat slightly, then said, “Madam, haven’t you noticed? No matter how unreasonable or
exaggerated your requests are, Mr. Reynolds will always fulfill them.”
