Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 141

Two weeks later, Leandro and Keen, along with other members of the work crew, hopped on a flight back to Sunburst City.

Meanwhile, Seraphina was still MIA.

Leandro sat by the window, seemingly casual but deeply engrossed in a document.

Keen took a peek at the document, then his gaze drifted to the clouds outside the window. He sighed heavily.

Things could really go south if they kept going like this.

Upon returning in the country, Leandro fully committed into his work, sparing only a little time for Valerio and Conway. As for looking for Seraphina, he never brought it up again.

Despite this, Keen stayed on alert, keeping in close touch with detective agencies all over Starhaven.

After two anxiety-filled weeks, Keen got a sudden late-night call.

It was on his work phone. Keen picked up, only to hear Seraphina’s voice on the other end: “Keen!”

For a moment, he nearly lost it.

Trying to calm himself, he suddenly stood up. "Ms. Bennett, where are you now?" "What does it matter where I am?" Seraphina’s voice sounded lazy, "I'm calling to tell you to stop looking for me. I'm working, get it?”

Keen was livid at her attitude, all his anxiety and anger came bubbling up, “You disappeared out of the blue. Mr. Reynolds is worried sick about you, you know?”

Seraphina chuckled after hearing this, "Is that so? How is he worried?"

Realizing he walked into a trap, Keen clammed up. He then asked, "Ms. Bennett, can you tell me where you are now? I'll call off all the detectives once I confirm your location."

"No can do." Seraphina replied.

Keen paused for a moment, then said, "Ms. Bennett, I don't know why you're doing this. But Mr. Reynolds genuinely cares about you. I can tell he really likes you."

"So what?" Seraphina retorted, "Should I be grateful?"

Taking a deep breath, Keen resumed, "You didn't act like this when we were in Moonhaven. Ms. Bennett, are you cheating Mr. Reynolds' feelings?"

At this, Seraphina couldn't help but laugh. After a while, she said, "Keen, isn't it all about whether both parties are willing when it comes to relationships? I was interested in your boss in Moonhaven, so I was willing to date him. Then it got boring, so I ended it. It's pretty straightforward, why make a fuss?"

"How could you act like this?" Keen said angrily, "You could've at least told us if you wanted to leave, right? What’s up with the sudden disappearance?”

"Okay, then I'll tell you now," Seraphina said, "Could you please tell your boss to chill about love? Just be happy. He was important when I needed him. But now that I don't, I hope he would stay away. Your boss should know the drill, it shouldn't be too much for him to handle. Tell him to stop bugging me!”

Keen wanted to say something after hearing Seraphina's words, but she had already hung up.

Holding the phone, Keen stood there, somewhat at a loss.

He didn't expect Seraphina to show up, let alone say such things.

How was he supposed to break this to Leandro?

However, while Keen was still dazed, Leandro came out of his office, looking ready to call it a day.

Keen hastily put down the phone, forcing a smile at Leandro, "Mr. Reynolds."

Leandro gave him a glance, asking only one question, "Who called?"
