Chapter 305
Luke and Norman clearly hadn’t expected their meeting to go so smooth today. Both of them were pretty chuffed afterwards.
Noticing it was getting late, Luke popped the question to Leandro, “It’s been a long time since we had a meal together. Would you like to join us for lunch? You seem to be getting busier and busier lately.”
Leandro didn’t respond straight away.
Norman caught the look on Leandro’s face, sniggered and said to Luke, “How could you forget? Seraphina is in the lounge. There’s no way he’s gonna ditch his wife and grab lunch with you!”
Luke suddenly got the hint. “Duh, how could I forget that. They’re newlyweds, they must be head over heels for each other!”
Leandro clearly had had enough of their banter. His expression didn’t change, but he quickly had Yasmina show Luke and Norman out.
When Leandro stepped into the lounge, Seraphina was watching a video on her tablet.
Seeing him walk in, she asked in surprise, “What’s up? Did the negotiations fall through?”
“The negotiations were successful,” Leandro replied.
“That was quick?” Seraphina checked the time in surprise. It had only been 20 minutes since she came in.
According to Yasmina, they had been debating the issue for two days without reaching a consensus. How could they have made such progress in just 20
minutes?
“Aren’t you going to eat?” Leandro asked.
Seraphina was engrossed in the most interesting part of the video and quickly responded, “Yasmina has ordered lunch! Let me finish this video! If you’ré hungry, you can start eating.”
Seeing this, Leandro took off his suit jacket, sat down next to her, and looked at the tablet in her hand.
It was a documentary about a serial killer. Leandro wasn’t interested in this kind of stuff, but he stayed put after he sat down.
“Aren’t you going to eat?” Seraphina looked at him.
Leandro glanced at her but didn’t respond.
Seraphina sensed something. She leaned against him, positioned the tablet so they both could see, and continued watching.
Leandro adjusted his position slightly, put an arm around her, and let her continue watching.
The video lasted over an hour. Leandro let her finish it.
Seraphina stretched out lazily. Suddenly remembering the time, she reached out and patted his stomach, “Are you hungry?”
Feeling his tight abs under her hand, she couldn’t help but pat a few more times.
Leandro glanced at her, “If you want to stay here, I don’t mind.”
Hearing this, Seraphina took in the situation, reluctantly pulled back her hand.
When they came out of the lounge, Yasmina was just coming in with their lunch.
The previous two lunches had been snapped up by other colleagues on the 26th floor before they cooled down. Luckily, the timing was perfect this time. “Mr. Reynolds, here’s your lunch.”
With Seraphina around, the atmosphere in the office was noticeably lighter.
Yasmina also seemed more relaxed. As she placed the lunch on the table in the reception area, she gave Seraphina a knowing look.

Seraphina pretended not to see. She sat next to Leandro, casually picked up a piece of fruit and put it in her mouth, “You eat it. I’ll have fruit. I’ll leave when you’re done.”
