Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 108

John dropped Seraphina off at her doorstep

‘Give me a ring if you need anything” John said, “Leandro may seem aloof, but we’ve known each other since we were kids. He’ll listen”

Al this, Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle, then responded slyly, “And if I can’t reach your cell, should I call your room or your er wife’s?”

John gave her a look, opened the door for her, nudged her inside and look off

Seraphina gleefully entered the room, but after a few steps, she froze in her tracks.

Leandro was sitting by her window watching her

Seraphina hesitated, then walked towards the door, muttering, “Gotta teach your assistant a lesson. Can’t he speak clearly and tell me which room you’re in?”

She rambled towards the door, had it half–open, but then paused, closed it and turned back.

This time, she undressed as she walked towards Leandro, tussing her red dress aside when she reached him and plopped herself down on his lap

“We’re still doing this, right?” Seraphina sat up straight, smiling at him.

Leandro’s expression grew even colder

“Cant you ever speak properly?”

Seraphina pretended to think hard before responding. “Why should I? I’m just a tool for you to play with, aren’t 17”

As she spoke, she reached for his shirt buttons.

But Leandro grabbed her hand, “You’re overacting it’s not fun anymore”

“Don’t you like it when I act like this?” Seraphina said, “You seem to enjoy it quite a bit.”

With that, her hand slid towards his waist

This time, Leandro pulled her hand away, got up, and left the room without a backward glance.

Seraphina slumped onto the bed, listening to the sound of the closing door, then rolled onto her back, giggling to herself.

He got mad? That’s fantastic

The next day, Seraphina slept until almost noon, waking up to a text from John inviting her to breakfast

She texted him back and they arranged to meet for lunch.

When they met at the restaurant, John seemed less energetic than the previous day, frowning now and then

“What’s up?” Seraphina was in high spints, “How come you have time for lunch with me today? Where’s Ms. Reed?”

John glanced at her. “She left”

Exactly the answer Seraphina expected so she burst out laughing.

John looked at her, then asked, “Did you see Leandro last night?”

“Yes” Seraphina answered truthfully.

John continued, “Did he ask you to leave with him?”

*Leave Seraphina was puzzled, “Where to?”

John explained, “As far as I know, he closed a deal and took a private jet out of Crystal Waters Island back to Sunburst City”

Upon hearing this, Seraphina quickly reviewed the events of the previous night

Leandro’s departure time must have been set beforehand since he took a private jet. This meant he had no intention of doing anything with her in the room last night. Could it be that he was waiting for her because he wanted her to go back with him?

Thinking of this, Seraphina broke into an even wider grin.

John stared at her for a while, then leaned in closer, “Can you tell me what’s going on in your head?”

“It’s simple Seraphina raised an eyebrow, chuckling. Tm waiting for him to fall in love with me”

“Who?” John was surprised, “Leandro?”

“Why are you so surprised? Seraphina looked at him, “You think it’s impossible?”

John raised an eyebrow, paused for a moment, then said, “A few years ago, I thought he was pretty normal, he had desires, could laugh and talk. But later on, I thought he could be sent to a center for abnormal human research, he’s totally emotionless”

Two days later, Serafina returned to Sunburst City

Conway was very unhappy with her prolonged absence, but a few sweet words from Seraphina and he was pacified.

In the following days. Seraphina had a leisurely time, though meetings with John ceased

Upon learning trus, Nanette immediately sprang into action, introducing Seraphina to a hospital director

Knowing the title. Seraphina figured he must be older

Nanette knew this too, so she quickly tried to dispel Seraphina’s concerns, “What’s wrong with being older? Maturity and success come with age. If you’re worried, you can sneak into the hospital while he’s working and take a look. Who knows? Maybe it I be love at first sight” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Seraphina was initially uninterested, but after seeing the hospital’s name on the business card Nanette gave her, she changed her mind, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Il meet

him.”

The next day, Seraphina arrived at the hospital by noon, but by three in the afternoon, she still hadn’t met the director

Knowing the state of healthcare in her country, she wasn’t surprised or concerned, and whiled away the time by wandering around the hospital.

There was a long corridor in the central garden of the hospital, a rare shady spot in the summer. Many patients and their families were sitting there to escape therheat When Seraphina walked by, she found a vacant spot and sat down

The moment she sat down, a man appeared in front of her, craning his neck and shouting. “Seraphina?”

She looked up and saw a tall, thin middle aged man

After a moment of hesitation, she nodded.

The next moment, the man raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

“So It really is you!” he raged. “You have the nerve to come back!”

He raised his hand again as he spoke.

A crowd suddenly gathered to enjoy the spectacle, but out of nowhere, a tall figure burst through. He grabbed the middle–aged man’s hand. “Sir, let’s talk it out, there’s no need to get physical”

With her face in her hand, Seraphina looked up and saw a familiar face. It was Abbot, the guy who had saved her from the car accident Fidelia had caused

Talk about a coincidence.
