Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 272

When Seraphina saw Leandro, she breathed a sigh of relief and unlocked the car door.

Leandro opened the door and slid into the passenger seat.

Seraphina was driving by herself today. Even though she knew guards were tailing her, she wanted to keep a low profile, so she took a small car.

Leandro’s body seemed somewhat cramped and uneasy inside the car, indicating that he wasn’t very comfortable.

“What brought you here?” Seraphina asked.

Leandro glanced at the snacks on the dashboard and then asked, “Aren’t you going home tonight?”

“I’m working. All-nighters are part of the gig.” Seraphina replied. “Did you just get off work?”

Leandro didn’t answer her question. He rolled down the window and his driver handed him a brown paper bag.

Leandro took the bag, placed it on the dash, and opened it. A warm, inviting aroma filled the car.

“Mmm, is that chicken wrap?” Seraphina sniffed. “Smells yummy. Did you swing by here after going home?”

Leandro took a chicken wrap from the bag and handed it to Seraphina.

When Seraphina took the wrap, she realized it was hot to the touch, but it was perfect for warming her hands on a cold night.

She gently blew on it to cool it down before taking a bite. Then she said, “I know you care about me, but you’ve had a long day. You should go home and rest.”

“Eat first,” Leandro said.

Even though Seraphina wasn’t hungry, she took a bite of the chicken wrap at his insistence.

After she had finished one, Leandro asked, “One more?”

Seraphina shook her head quickly. “No, I’m already stuffed.”

She handed the remaining bag to Leandro. “You should head home. I still have some work to do, and I’ve got my bodyguards. I’ll be safe.”

Leandro looked at the bag in his hand, still half full, glanced at her, and got out of the car.

Once he left, the atmosphere in the car seemed to lighten up. Seraphina gave a soft laugh and waved goodbye.

As Leandro walked away, Seraphina focused back on Mervin’s personal files.

Mervin, 44, from Sunburst City, was a troublemaker in his youth with a criminal record for assault. Despite his fiery temper, he was a social butterfly who could adapt to any situation.

After reviewing all the information, Seraphina quickly messaged Terrell, “What role do you think Mervin plays in the crime gang?”

“He handles the orders,” Terrell replied promptly.

“That’s what I thought too,” Seraphina said. “So, Mervin handles orders, Maddox plans the killing, Keeley executes. There might be others

behind them.”

After sending the message, it was a while before she got a reply.

“Mrs. Reynolds, you’re still up? My wife and I need go to bed soon. Can we discuss this tomorrow?”

Feeling a bit awkward, Seraphina put down her phone, ready to review some more files when she noticed a familiar figure in the

rear-view mirror-

It was Leandro’s bodyguard.

Seraphina was taken aback.

Leandro had left a while ago, why was his bodyguard still here?

She shifted her gaze and noticed-Leandro’s car was still parked on the side of the road. He hadn’t left!

After staring at the rear-view mirror for a while, Seraphina turned her attention back to the stack of files, packed up her things, and got out of the car with her files.

When she got into Leandro’s car, he was in the middle of an international call. Seraphina sat quietly next to him, reviewing her files.

Leandro’s call was at a critical point, obviously not over yet.

But not long after Seraphina sat down, an arm slipped around her waist.

She turned to look at him.

11:27

This man, calmly handling such an important call, while casually pulling her into his embrace-no wonder this was a luxury car, there was plenty of space for him to move.

Seraphina didn’t resist. If he wanted to hold her, she’d let him. Besides, she could still read the files in his arms.

She was engrossed in the files again until she came back to her senses and realized Leandro had hung up.

But he was still holding her, the two of them leaning together. She was reading, and he was either reading with her or… watching her.

“Don’t you want to go home and rest?” Seraphina asked.

Instead of answering, Leandro leaned down and kissed her ear.

Then he said, “Just do your own thing, don’t mind me.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

True to his word, Seraphina ignored him, and Leandro didn’t bother her anymore.

He simply held her quietly from behind, all night long.

At dawn, Seraphina stretched and then turned to look at him.

Even though she hadn’t seen his face all night, she could tell from his breathing that he hadn’t slept.

Nevertheless, he still appeared vibrant. With his current state, he could attend any significant event without raising suspicions. However, considering his already demanding workload and the lack of rest, fatigue is bound to set in.

“I’ve finished my work,” Seraphina said. “I’m going to go home, take a shower, and get some rest. Do you… want to join?”

Leandro looked at her quietly for a moment, then slowly broke into a smile.

“I’d love to take you up on that offer, but not today,” he said. “I have an early meeting, I’m heading straight to the office.”

Seraphina frowned. “Then you shouldn’t have come last night.”

“I find it more comfortable here than at home.”

Seraphina didn’t respond.

Leandro continued, “Let them take you home. You’ve been up all night, don’t drive yourself.”

Seraphina nodded in agreement, and quickly hopped out of the car.

Watching her get into her own car, Leandro shared a few words with his bodyguard before being driven away.

Seraphina stood there for a while, watching the car fade into the distance.

Loads of thoughts must be swirling in her mind right now, a ton of things she’d like to share with someone.

But, the woman she would normally spill the tea with was now dead.

With this in mind, Seraphina suddenly looked up at a nearby building, then told her driver, “Let’s go.”

The car leisurely headed towards Reynolds Manor. Just as they were about to enter, a figure suddenly emerged from a car parked at the gate, blocking their way.

Seraphina, who was chilling in the backseat with her eyes closed, only opened her eyes when she heard her driver call her name.

Upon opening her eyes, she saw a worn out Bowen outside the car window.
