Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 105

Upon conclusion of the game, Leandro emerged victorious by a significant margin, leading by twelve strokes.

Following the game, Seraphina applauded Leandro and playfully ribbed John, "You boast about being a master of all trades, yet you were completely outplayed by Leandro. How do you explain that?"

"Leandro is a regular patron of this golf course. He's up at dawn every day, honing his skills throughout the year. Losing to him isn't surprising," John retorted, turning to Seraphina. "However, you agreed to accompany me to the wedding at Crystal Waters Island, so I don't see this as a loss."

At this, Seraphina cast a glance at Leandro and retorted with a smirk, "So, did Leandro truly triumph then?"

Leandro shot her a look, then retrieved his phone from the caddy and attended to a call.

Seraphina sidestepped, commencing a discussion about the upcoming trip to Crystal Waters Island with John.

Once the call ended, Leandro dismissed her with a curt, "I need to leave," directed at John.

John responded with a nod, "Till next time."

Seraphina waved a cheerful goodbye to Leandro. He didn't reciprocate, simply walking away.

John chuckled, looking at Seraphina, "Seems your relationship with Leandro is rather lukewarm."

"Not necessarily," Seraphina countered, her gaze following Leandro's departure. "Perhaps I'm just not his preferred company at the moment."

John too glanced in the same direction, emitting a light chuckle, "Seems like it."

At this, Seraphina shifted her gaze to meet his. Their eyes locked, and she couldn't help but laugh.

A week later, Seraphina and John boarded a flight to the renowned Crystal Waters Island.

Their plane landed at local noon, while it was the middle of the night in Sunburst City, the Reynolds Group's meeting room was still brightly lit.

All the senior managers were seated in the meeting room, looking tense. Leandro was expressionless, his gaze putting everyone under pressure.

The Starhaven branch had messed up due to negligence. The person in charge shirked responsibility and offended their partners. Now, not only were their partners withdrawing investment but also threatening to sue the Reynolds Group. If this blew up, the branch would suffer massive losses. The employees at Starhaven felt the crisis, and the headquarters staff were also feeling the heat from Leandro.

Round after round of discussion, yet no solution was found. Leandro's face was increasingly grim.

"Mr. Reynolds, we do have another solution," the newly appointed person in charge at the Starhaven branch cautiously said over the video call, "Actually, they've always felt we aren't giving them enough attention. All of us have been refused by their leader Irvin. But I know that Irvin has a good relationship with the Clark Group in Sunburst City. If Mr. Reynolds could contact Irvin through the Clark Group, perhaps he would give us a chance..."

The moment he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the meeting room turned even tenser.

Everyone knew that Leandro's requirements for his employees were to solve problems effectively. Now they not only failed to solve the problem but also asked Leandro to solve it personally, which was a serious dereliction of duty. Plus, the Clark Group and the Reynolds Group had always been at odds, full of contradictions. They actually suggested Leandro solve the problem through the Clark Group, which was another serious dereliction.

Everyone in the office lowered their heads, no one daring to speak.

Leandro didn't say anything, just quietly watching the person who suggested on the video until he couldn't help but lower his head, muttering a soft, "I'm sorry, Mr. Reynolds..."

"Check Henry Clark's recent schedule," Leandro suddenly said, his expression unchanged.

Everyone in the meeting room was taken aback. The next moment, those who came to their senses began to check the movements of Henry, the president of the Clark Group, according to Leandro's instructions.

"No need to check," one of the senior managers suddenly said, "I know that Henry flew to Crystal Waters Island to attend Mr. Malloy's daughter's wedding. He left yesterday during the day."

Everyone instantly turned to look at Leandro.
