Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 191

Seraphina got herself a glass of water, didn't go upstairs right away, but just sat downstairs sipping it slowly.

After a while, Keen came downstairs again, darted out the door, looked like he was fetching some papers from the car, and then bolted upstairs with a few documents.

By the time Seraphina finished her water, Keen came down again, with worry all over his face.

Seraphina didn't plan to pay him any mind and was about to head upstairs when Keen called out to her, "Ms. Bennett."

Seraphina paused, turning to look at him.

"Ms. Bennett, could you please talk to Mr. Reynolds?" Keen said, "You heard what the doctor said today too, he really can't overwork himself anymore..."

"Why are you telling me this?" Seraphina found it slightly amusing, "If you stop delivering documents to his home, I'd like to see how he's gonna work."

Keen's face reddened slightly, "I... I have no choice, and there's so much happening in the company, those papers won't pass without Mr. Reynolds, and work can't go on..."

"Is your big company really that dependent on him?" Seraphina asked, "Isn't there anyone else who can share some of the workload?"

"Everyone carries their own load at work," Keen replied, "But Mr. Reynolds always takes the reins on important projects."

Seraphina scoffed, "Just say you don't trust anyone else, don’t sugarcoat it."

"Can you please talk to him?" Keen said, "At this rate, his health will collapse."

"Why do you think I can persuade him?" Seraphina asked, "Don't you know what kind of person your boss is?"

Keen quietly looked at Seraphina for a moment, then replied, "It's just... a feeling. If there's anyone in this world who can talk sense into Mr. Reynolds, it's you, Ms. Bennett."

Seraphina couldn't help but laugh, "it’s easy for you to say, isn't it?"

"You're usually so confident." Keen said, "Why are you doubting yourself all of a sudden?"

Seraphina glanced at him, "Even an honest person like you uses sneaky tactics to convince others? Too bad they don't work on me."

She didn't waste any more words on him, turned around, went upstairs, and straight into her room, slamming the door shut behind her.

That night, it was almost dawn when Leandro finally left his study.

He was about to go back to his room when he suddenly turned his head, looking towards Seraphina's room at the other end of the corridor.

The door was tightly closed, no light seeping through the gap, she should still be asleep at this time according to her habits.

Leandro turned back and went into his room.

The next morning, when Seraphina came downstairs, she heard Conway asking a servant about Leandro's condition.

The servant seemed to have instructions from Leandro, and replied, "He's doing great, came home earlier than before, he's definitely resting well."

Conway didn't seem convinced, "When I got up this morning and passed the study, there were quite a few cigarette butts in the ashtray!"

The servant hurriedly said, "That must have been from before. I'll go clean it up right away."

After the servant left to go upstairs, Seraphina passed by her, admiring the servant's quick thinking.

When she had finished breakfast with Conway and was going back upstairs, she suddenly heard a noise from the study, like something had fallen on the floor.

Seraphina went to check and saw that it was only the servant in the study, who seemed to be tidying up the desk and had accidentally knocked something over.

Seraphina didn't think much of it and was about to leave when she suddenly saw a metal box in the servant's hand.

She stopped, then walked in.
