Seraphina originally thought that her words would send Leandro into a rage, but when she looked at him, his expression was still calm. He just stared at her quietly, hiding all his emotions behind those deep eyes, impossible to read.
She didn't have the interest to probe his thoughts, quickly averted her gaze and said, "I've given you my answer, can I go home now? Valerio might still be waiting for me at home."
As she stood up to leave, Leandro suddenly called out her name, “Seraphina.”
She turned her head to look at him, “Anything else you want to say, Mr. Reynolds?”
Leandro just looked at her calmly and asked one question, “Who is Betty?”
Seraphina, who was originally all smiles, suddenly froze when she heard Leandro's question. She then asked, "Who?"
Her voice obviously became hoarser at the question.
Leandro still looked at her calmly, "Don't you know who I'm asking about?"
Seraphina's face returned to its calm state, but it looked somewhat pale.
She replied, "I don't know."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Leandro and turned to leave the office.
Leandro just sat in his chair, quietly watching her leave, not doing anything.
When Seraphina got downstairs, the driver was waiting for her at the entrance. Seeing her come out alone, he seemed a bit surprised, "Ms. Bennett, why are you alone? Where's Mr. Reynolds?"
The driver opened the car door for Seraphina. She was about to get in when she realized, "You're waiting for Mr. Reynolds, aren't you? Then I'll just call a cab."
She took out her phone to call a cab. The driver noticed that her hands were trembling as she entered the address. He also noticed her pale face and immediately asked with concern, "Ms. Bennett, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Before she could call a cab, Seraphina suddenly put away her phone, "It's hard to catch a cab here, I'll go wait by the roadside."
She walked straight towards the road. The driver, a bit worried, followed her for a bit, trying to persuade her to get in the car, but Seraphina seemed not to hear him and kept walking.
The driver couldn't leave the car for too long. Seeing that Seraphina really wasn’t going to get in his car, he could only stop and watch her leave, then quickly returned to the car.
Seraphina waited by the roadside for an hour before she finally saw an empty cab. The temperature dropped sharply at night, and she felt cold all over. After getting in the car, she seemed to snap back to reality.
The driver asked her where she wanted to go three times. It was only on the third time that Seraphina heard him. When she was about to answer, she found that her mind was blank and she couldn't think of where to go.
She sat quietly in the car for a while, then took out her phone and dialed Sandra's number.
No one answered the first time, nor the second time. The third time, Sandra picked up the phone, her voice rushed, "Sera, what's up? I was just in the shower..."
Seraphina's mind was filled with messy thoughts. It took her a while to sort them out. Then she said, "Sandra, he just asked me, who is Betty..."
On the other end of the phone, Sandra suddenly sat up on the bed, "Who? Leandro?"
Then, Seraphina chuckled on the phone, "What do you think, should I tell him who Betty is?"
But before Sandra could answer, she said softly, "No, I won't tell him."
After saying that, Seraphina just hung up.
Sandra listened to the disconnected phone, feeling anxious. She immediately called back, but Seraphina didn't pick up again.
She was about to call again when a man's hand suddenly reached out and took her phone. He asked calmly, "What happened?"
Sandra turned her head and saw Bowen lying next to her.
He was lying there, bare-chested, looking at her with a satisfied expression.
