Chapter 128
Seraphina didn’t seem to care much whether Leandro had truly changed his attitude or not. All she had in mind was getting out of the hospital. As soon as she was back in the ward, she changed into her own clothes and prepared to leave.
Her car had been towed away by the police after the accident, so she had no choice but to return the same way she came by hopping into Leandro’s car.
“Could you drop me off at the train station?” She asked Keen once they were in the car. “It’s not too late to go back to Velvetwood.”
Upon hearing this, Keen glanced at Leandro in the rearview mirror but said nothing.
The traffic in Moonhaven was a mess. About half an hour later, they finally pulled up in front of an apartment complex. Seraphina gazed at the tall building from the car window, taking in the view. She couldn’t help but marvel at the expensive cost of living in such a place in Manhattan.
She turned her gaze back to Keen, “Would it kill you to drop me off at the train station first?”
Keen gave her a helpless look before getting out of the car and opening the door for her, “Ms. Bennett, please.”
“Is this the train station?” Seraphina retorted.
Keen looked at her helplessly. Seraphina, however, was set on giving him a hard time, “Pineview Station. If you don’t know the way, I can pull it up on the GPS for you!”
By this time, Leandro had gotten out of the car and was making his way over to Seraphina’s side, “Get out.”
Keen’s face turned serious. Seraphina looked at him and saw the sweat on his forehead, which made her burst out laughing.
Finally, she decided to stop tormenting him and obediently got out of the car.
Keen let out a sigh of relief. As Seraphina walked past him, she whispered, “Is your boss really that scary? Aren’t you a bit too uptight?”
Keen looked at her, not knowing what to say. He was usually competent and therefore rarely reprimanded by Leandro. However, he had seen how Leandro treated those who made mistakes and he knew the consequences of messing up in front of him. But dealing with Seraphina always seemed to leave him at a loss. Luckily, Leandro himself seemed to have no idea how to handle Seraphina, so he was relatively lenient with Keen. But if Seraphina ever truly pissed Leandro off and made him lose his patience, Keen would be the one to bear the brunt of it.
Of course, Seraphina had never considered any of this. How could she possibly worry about a jittery little clerk like him?
In fact, she didn’t even bother to wait for his response. She followed Leandro into the building and obediently went upstairs. Leandro’s apartment was both high–end and luxurious. It was equipped with smart home technology, a living room, bedroom, study, and two bathrooms. The only downsides were probably the high cost and the fact that there was only one bedroom. It was clear that even in Starhaven, Leandro was still very busy. After returning to the apartment, he called for the housekeeper and gave a few instructions before finally turning to Seraphina, “If you need anything, you can tell the housekeeper.”
Seraphina was standing by the large floor–to–ceiling window, admiring the night view. When she heard Leandro’s words, she casually agreed.
Leandro glanced at her before heading into his study.
After enjoying the view for a while, the housekeeper brought her toiletries, a bathrobe, pajamas, and a set of high–end skincare products.
It was a rare experience to be able to stay in a place like this. Seraphina accepted the items and went into the bathroom. When she came out after her shower, a plate of warm scrambled eggs, a slice of toast, and a glass of milk had been placed on the table in the living room. Next to the food was a small transparent bag containing the medicine she needed to take. There was a note on the bag that read, “Eat first, then take your medicine“.
It was obvious that this was what Leandro had ordered the housekeeper to prepare. Not being one to stand on ceremony. Seraphina sat down and polished off the food. She then went to brush her teeth and headed straight for the lone bedroom and
settled into bed.
At midnight, Leandro came out of his study and saw that Seraphina was no longer in the living room.
He went over to the small table in the living room and saw the empty plate. Then he noticed the untouched medicine.
His expression darkened as he picked up the bag of medicine and made his way to the bedroom.
