Chapter 306
Seraphina said she needed a break and quickly dozed off on the couch in Leandro’s lounge.
When she woke up, Leandro was already gone.
Checking the time, Seraphina realized she had accidentally slept for more than two hours.
Leandro was so busy, there was no way he could hang around in the lounge for so long.
Seraphina got up, freshened up in the bathroom, then left the lounge.
Outside, she found Leandro in deep conversation with someone. Her arrival interrupted them.
Luckily, the person Leandro was talking to was an internal staff member.
Seeing her, they smiled and greeted her, “Mrs. Reynolds.”
“Did I interrupt?” Seraphina asked, “Sorry, I’ll get out of your hair.”
“No, not at all.” The person replied before Leandro could, “I was just giving Mr. Reynolds a work update. You didn’t interrupt.”
Hearing this, Seraphina just looked at Leandro, who gave her a slight nod, signaling her to do as she pleased.
So Seraphina sat down nearby, playing with a tablet, flipping through a magazine.
Soon, the reporting staff member left, but shortly after, a few more people came in.
It wasn’t long before executives came in to report to Leandro.
Then Yasmina came in, nervously saying, “Mr. Reynolds, managers from admin, finance, and HR have also scheduled: They have work to report to you.”
Seraphina noticed the unusual situation and turned to Yasmina, “Is today a reporting day?”
Yasmina sneaked a glance at Seraphina, seemed to want to say something, but didn’t have the courage in front of Leandro, so she just gave a small smile.
Seraphina was curious about Leandro’s afternoon schedule, so she just sat quietly watching the executives come and go.
The routine got boring after a while, and since the reported work didn’t interest Seraphina, she got up to ask Yasmina for a coffee.
As she left, she saw the directors who had just reported still outside, discussing something fervently around Yasmina.
Seeing Seraphina come out, they all turned to her, all smiles, “Mrs. Reynolds.”
They were so nice, it made Seraphina feel a bit overwhelmed, “I thought you all left already…”
All these years, Leandro was actually quite lonely, wasn’t he?
He had a family, children, but he spent 90% of his energy on his work.
The business world was complicated and unpredictable.
He was always on guard, never trusting people easily, so he seemed particularly cold and lonely.
Everyone has feelings, how can anyone survive in complete loneliness?
So, when he had someone he could trust, a bit of warmth he could rely on, he didn’t want to let go.
But he was Leandro, proud, mature, and rational, maybe he subconsciously didn’t allow himself to have such a weakness, but he couldn’t control it, so he became irritable and easily angered.
And this emotion, only one person could easily soothe…
Seraphina was lost in her thoughts for a moment.
