Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 187

Seraphina couldn't help but chuckle at Keen's nervous antics.

"Do you really need to be this wired?"

Keen was busy driving, and since Leandro wasn’t resting, he had no choice but to stay on his toes. He could hear Seraphina talking, but he didn't bother to glance at her.

Traffic was a nightmare, and they didn't manage to reach the Reynolds Group until after nine. Leandro and Yasmina were already in the conference room.

Keen opened Leandro's office door for Seraphina and said, "You go in and wait for Mr. Reynolds. He's been down with a fever for three days straight, and he's refusing to take a break. If this keeps up, he's going to run himself ragged."

"Your boss doesn't strike me as someone who crumbles easily," Seraphina replied nonchalantly.

Keen was about to turn away but stopped at her words. He held the door that was slowly closing, looking at Seraphina. "You know, I've been with Mr. Reynolds for a long time, and I've never seen him sick. He usually seems invincible, but after returning from Velvetwood, he fell ill. He used to insist on never showing weakness, but now he seems to have let his guard down. This might just be the beginning."

Seraphina blinked, quietly taking in his words.

"You should know Mr. Reynolds better than I do," said Keen, "and you know, he's really hurting."

Seraphina simply gave a small smile in response.

Keen left, and Seraphina walked over to Leandro's desk.

There were a few documents sprawled out for him to review: a half-eaten sandwich, an empty cup of black coffee, a glass of untouched water, and some untouched medicine.

Keen had said that he was hurting.

So what did Keen think she could do about it?

She had already told him what to do the night he returned: get a good night's sleep, and he'd feel better when he woke up.

But he hadn't gotten better. What could she do?

As Seraphina sat in Leandro's chair, her hand accidentally touched the touchpad, and the computer screen lit up. When she looked up, she froze.

Betty's face was on the screen, smiling at her.

She was stunned. It had been a while since she had seen a picture of Betty.

But there she was, smiling at her as if she were still alive.

But she was gone.

Seraphina quickly stood up and headed for the door.

Just as she reached the door, it was pushed open from the outside, and Leandro walked in. She walked straight into his arms.

Leandro had been sick for a few days, but he still looked like the composed Mr. Reynolds, albeit with a hint of exhaustion. He seemed particularly weary as he stepped into the office.

When Seraphina suddenly walked into his arms, he seemed to snap back to reality.
