Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144
Karan might think Seraphina’s behavior was a confusing. She didn’t hesitate to leave after she dumped Seraphina at the Reynolds Group.
Once at the Reynolds Group, Seraphina tried to ring up Keen, but no one answered So, she hit up the front desk.
Clearly, even if the receptionists knew her, they couldn’t let her go up to the offices for whatever reason.
Seraphina didn’t put them in a spot. She nodded, freshened up in the restroom with her luggage in tow, then sat in the lobby waiting area, quietly playing the waiting game.
Up on the 26th floor, Keen was glued to his computer screen, a look of pure confusion on his face.
Yasmina emerged from Leandro’s office, spotted Keen’s expression, and walked over. “What on earth are you watching? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Upon spotting Seraphina on the screen, Yasmina was taken aback “She’s back?”
“She’s been back since last night, Keen replied
“Why haven’t you let her up?” Yasmina questioned. “Get her to the boss ASAP The atmosphere in his office has been heavier than a ton of bricks. It’s like walking into a pressure cooker every time I go in.”
Yasmina was in the dark about the drama between Leandro and Seraphina, prompting Keen to let out a helpless sigh.
Keen could empathize with Leandro. He thought Leandro’s tolerance towards Seraphina was out of left field – letting her stay at his apartment in Starhaven, tending to her illness, even tagging along for midnight snack runs. Keen speculated that Leandro’s decision to personally handle the company’s reorganization in Starhaven could be attributed to Seraphina. But Seraphina’s sudden disappearance and ruthless treatment of Leandro even had Keen feeling angry and betrayed, not to mention Leandro.
However, Leandro’s rage was because he did give a da mn about Seraphina.
Keen felt like he was between a rock and a hard place, he had no idea how far Leandro’s rage went or how much pain Seraphina could endure. He was afraid he’d be the one end up responsible.
Spotting Keen in a daze, Yasmina gave him a nudge. What’s going on?”
“You wouldn’t get it, Keen replied.
Yasmina scoffed, dropped some files on her desk, and walked to the elevator.
Before Keen could gather his thoughts, Yasmina had vanished.
Two minutes later, when Yasmina returned to the office with Seraphina, Keen was still zoning out.
Seraphina gave him a once-over, then headed straight for Leandro’s office
Keen snapped at Yasmina, “Are you out of your mind? Are you not scared of getting canned by Mr. Reynolds? I’m not bailing you out if things go south!”
Yasmina shot him a disdainful look “You’re such an airhead.”
When Seraphina pushed open the door to Leandro’s office, he was behind his desk, engrossed in some documents. He didn’t look up when he heard her
enter.
Seraphina strode over to his desk and laid a document on it. “Mr. Reynolds, this requires your review”
Leandro paused mid-flip, then reached for the intercom. “Keen.”
On the other end, Keen was pretending to be MIA, under Yasmina’s orders.
Getting no response. Leandro got up, planning to find him
Seraphina quickly blocked his path
Only then did Leandro look at her, for the first time.
She’d been gone for three months, but she looked unchanged. She was still beautiful, still radiant, just a hint of weariness in her eyes. Still the same vibrant Seraphina
She seemed to be doing afright..
She used her body to block him, retrieved the document from the table, held it up, and said with a hint of grievance, “I brought this back. Would you take a look?
She used the document to shield her face, so all Leandro saw were the first few words – prenuptial agreement.
“Let’s get married.” Seraphina said
Hearing this, Leandro took the document and skimmed through it.
Standing in front of him, her hands behind her back, Seraphina looked at him earnestly I promise, I don’t want any of your wealth. I don’t want anything from the Reynolds family or the Reynolds Group I’m willing to be your wife, manage your house, respect your grandfather, take care of your child… I’ll do everything you need. Is that okay?”
“Seraphina” After finishing the document, Leandro looked at her again. “Do you really think I can’t live without you?”
Maybe his gaze was too cold. Seraphina shivered, then laughed. “No, it’s that I can’t live without you”
Leandro looked at her quietly, as though waiting for her to continue
I’ve been tested for many years, and now I know who my true partner is “Seraphina stepped closer, put his hand on her waist, and looked up at him. “I’ve put an end to my grudge against you. Now, I think you should be mine. Is that okay?”
Leandro looked at her coldly, then suddenly pulled his hand back and bellowed, “Keen!”
Outside, the on-edge Keen finally appeared. “Mr. Reynolds…”
Leandro had already turned back to his desk, and Seraphina’s prenuptial agreement was gently floating to the floor.
Seeing this, Keen quickly stepped forward and pulled Seraphina, signaling her to beat it.
“Since you’re busy, I won’t disturb you” Seraphina said, picking up the prenuptial agreement from the floor, signing her name, and placing it back on Leandro’s desk Tve signed my part, you can sign whenever you’re ready”
Keen didn’t dare to delay any further and quickly whisked Seraphina away
As soon as they were out of the office, Keen let out a long sigh. “Ms. Bennett, you should get going”
“Sure” Seraphina replied. Just as she was about to head out with her luggage, she stopped and turned to Keen. “Where’s your boss living these days?”
Keen looked puzzled “What are you up to?”
Seraphina smirked slightly “Hand me the keys, I’m going to keep him company”
Keen glanced towards Leandro’s office, then back at Seraphina “Mr. Reynolds didn’t instruct me to do so, I cant give them to you”
“Are you sure?” Seraphina asked. “So, you’re not giving them to me, right?”
Yasmina, unable to help herself, rubbed her forehead and kicked Keen. “Are you an idiot? Can’t you see what’s happening? Just give it to her!”
Keen, a bit flustered, eventually surrendered the keys to Leandro’s new apartment under the pressure of the two women.
Seraphina took the keys, gave Yasmina a slight smile, and then turned to leave.
