Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 12

Seraphina sat on the sofa, patiently waiting for Leandro to ask his questions.

However, Leandro was far from anxious. Only after Valerio's figure disappeared up the stairs did he take out a cigarette from his pack, lit it leisurely, took a puff, and then turned to Seraphina. He didn't say a word, just furrowed his brows, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Sat on the sofa, Seraphina quickly played along and explained with a smile, "Mr. Reynolds, you've got it all wrong. I actually lost something and came here looking for it. I think I left my stuff in your car. You don't mind if I look for it, do you?"

She was about to get up when Leandro's voice followed, "This?"

Seraphina turned around to see a silver voice recorder in Leandro's hand - exactly what she had been missing!

"That's it!" Seraphina walked towards him with a laugh, "So it really was here! I've been looking for it for so long!"

She went over to take the voice recorder, but Leandro's hand suddenly closed, his slender fingers gripping the recorder tightly.

Seraphina looked up at him, "Mr. Reynolds, what's the deal?"

"You left a voice recorder in my car." Leandro looked at her, "I should be asking you, what's the deal?"

Seraphina burst into laughter, "You know I was drunk last night and don't remember anything. How could I intentionally leave a voice recorder in your car?"

Leandro stared at her deeply, obviously not accepting her explanation.

"Do you have anything I should be investigating? Is it..." Seraphina gestured upstairs, implying Valerio, but she quickly ruled out this answer, "If I really wanted to investigate you, I could just go back to the Reynolds family and ask your Grandpa or your father, couldn't I?"

"If you're not investigating me." Leandro's eyes were deep, "Then who are you investigating? Balch?"

Seraphina kept smiling, but her eyes gradually became serious, quietly looking at Leandro.

This man was too smart. He saw through her so easily and quickly.

Maybe she was too on guard against other things, so she easily exposed herself on the matter of Balch.

Seraphina felt a little annoyed. She rarely made such mistakes, but this time, things were unusually difficult.
