She was clearly still acting.
Leandro noticed, but didn't seem keen on calling her out.
"Don't remember, huh? I'll give you time to think about it."
He let go of her hand after saying this, and walked straight into her apartment.
Seraphina was left by him at the door, watching him work easily into her home. After a moment of silence, she shrugged, accepting this result.
The moment Leandro stepped into her apartment, his eyes started to wander around the room— not because he didn't know where to look, but because the room was such a mess it was unbearable!
Clothes piled up on the sofa, newspapers and magazines scattered all over the coffee table and floor, a bunch of knick-knacks cluttering the dining table, and even her bra was hanging off a chair nearby...
When Seraphina closed the door and walked in, she saw Leandro standing in the living room. Following his gaze, she immediately understood his dilemma. She walked up behind him, and with a light chuckle said, "Sorry. I'm pretty messy when I live alone. If Mr. Reynolds can't find a place to sit, feel free to leave!"
Leandro didn't respond. He walked over to the dining table, picked up the bra hanging on the chair and handed it to her before pulling out a chair to sit.
Seraphina took her bra and casually threw it onto the sofa. Turning back, she saw Leandro sitting there, quietly watching her, as if still waiting for her to answer.
Seraphina went to the kitchen and got herself a glass of water. After taking a few sips, she handed the glass to Leandro.
Leandro glanced at the lipstick mark on the rim and didn't take it.
Seraphina put the glass on the dining table, pulled out the chair across and sat down, leaning on the table and looking at Leandro, "So, Mr. Reynolds, you crossed the ocean to Starhaven just to hear what I wanted to say to you that day? Is it worth wasting your precious time just to hear a few words from me?"
"I know my goal clearly." Leandro responded.
Seraphina couldn't help but laugh, a hint of sadness in her eyes.
She stood up and looked at him, "Anyway, I'm always left till the last, right? Hmph... I'm just a partner in bed, and of course, I'm not worth Mr. Reynolds' attention."
She walked towards the bedroom after saying this. As she passed Leandro, he reached out and grabbed her.
And then, Seraphina was drawn into his arms.
"Mr. Reynolds, what are you doing?" Seraphina sat on his lap, looking at him face-to-face. Her smile was gone, replaced by sadness and grievance.
Leandro quietly looked at her, then caressed her face, "I told you, if you overact, it's not interesting."
Seraphina gave a small smile and whispered, "No matter how much I act, as long as you don't play along, there's no problem, right?"
"I only live in the real world." he said.
After saying this, Leandro gripped her chin, leaned forward, and kissed her.
This kiss was almost devouring her. Seraphina didn't have a chance to react, she could only go along with him.
Leandro's kisses began to move downwards. Seraphina finally got a chance to breathe.
She held Leandro's head, enjoying the hot kiss while panting, "You clearly don't like me, but you followed me to Starhaven. Is this your so-called real world?"
Leandro slowly lifted his head and looked at her.
In an instant, the melancholy in Seraphina's eyes turned into a smug and sly look. She looked at Leandro and softly said, "Did you sleep well after I left? Do you think of me no matter which bed you sleep in?"
Hearing this, Leandro's eyes darkened.
She was doing this on purpose.
Sunburst City, four intimate encounters, four different places, four different beds.
Reynolds Manor, Reynolds Vista Retreat, the office, the villa. Her mark was on every one of his beds.
