Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 131

Keen left the office and quickly dialed Laura on Leandro's instructions.

About ten minutes later, Keen rushed back into Leandro's office. Leandro glanced at him and hit the mute button on his phone, "What's up?"

"Laura says Ms. Bennett is not at the apartment, she went out."

Leandro responded calmly and gestured for Keen to leave.

Although Leandro's face was expressionless, Keen noticed a slight furrow in his brow when he mentioned that Seraphina was not in the apartment.

So, Keen immediately left the office and called Seraphina.

But the call went unanswered, making Keen anxious.

Considering Seraphina's usual behavior, she might be up to something that would upset Leandro, and ultimately, he, as an assistant, would suffer.

With this in mind, Keen immediately stopped what he was doing and started looking for Seraphina.

But this wasn't Sunburst City at all, no matter how hard he tried, it was very difficult to find a woman who had gone missing in the bustling city.

Keen searched for Seraphina all afternoon, but her phone remained unreachable, and there was no sign of her.

He was so worried that he wanted to call the police, but Leandro was as cool as a cucumber. He left work a bit earlier than usual, at 9 PM, and headed back to his apartment.

Seraphina still hadn't shown up, and Keen didn't want to annoy Leandro, so he waited in the lobby of the apartment building.

Close to 11 PM, Keen's expectations were fulfilled - Seraphina returned to the apartment on her own!

Upon seeing her, Keen rushed over and asked, "Where the hell have you been?"

Seraphina looked a bit tired, she looked at him, "I had a date, so I went out, any problem with that?"

"Who were you with? What meeting?" Keen asked worriedly, "Why couldn't I reach your phone?"

Seraphina laughed at his question, "Why the hell do you care who I'm out with? Are you into me or something?"

Taken aback by her words, Keen took a step back, collected himself, and continued, "Ms. Bennett, you know how much Mr. Reynolds cares about you. Can you please not disappear like that next time? It makes him worry."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow slightly, "Oh really? Can you elaborate on how much Mr. Reynolds cares about me?"

"Do I really need to spell it out for you?" Keen said impatiently, "You're his main squeeze, can't you feel that?"

Seraphina contemplated for a while, then chuckled, "So, what do you think your boss would do if I just disappeared and never came back?"

Keen was taken aback by her words and without another word, he escorted her upstairs.

Leandro was sitting in the living room when Seraphina entered, with her laptop borrowed from Laura in front of him.

"You finished work early today," Seraphina said, smiling.

"You seem busier than me," Leandro said calmly.
