Keeley hopped back onto his motorcycle, eyes glued to Leandro and Seraphina as they disappeared behind the big gate.
Just as they were about to enter, Seraphina turned back and gave him a wave, to which he responded with a small smile. He watched them vanish into the gate before climbing back onto his bike, donned his helmet, and drove off.
Inside the gate, Seraphina listened to the fading sounds of his motorcycle, squinting her eyes slightly. Leandro also heard it, but he just held Seraphina's hand and walked into the house.
The room instantly warmed up. "It's cold outside, I'm gonna hit the shower first," Seraphina sighed, before quickly heading upstairs. Leandro plopped down on the living room couch, lit a cigarette, and called over the bodyguard who had been with Seraphina throughout the day.
The bodyguard gave Leandro a detailed rundown of the events at the dinner party. Leandro listened quietly, stubbed out his cigarette, and then also headed upstairs.
After her shower, Seraphina completed her skincare routine, and found a message from Terrell waiting for her. Only two hours after she had told him about Keeley, Terrell already sent over Keeley's basic information.
So, Keeley was born into a middle-class family, is Mack's cousin, was once a good student, but dropped out of high school after his parents died early, and then started to mix in society, his social relationships weren't clear though.
"That's all I've got for now, I still need to dig deeper into his social relationships," Terrell added.
Seraphina skimmed through Keeley's basic information a few times on her phone, just as she was about to put the phone away, a hand reached over and took it from her.
Looking up, she saw Leandro, fresh from his shower, scanning through her phone. Seraphina wasn't in a rush, she let him have a look.
After going through the information on the phone, Leandro glanced at the message from Terrell, then turned to Seraphina, "Who is this guy?"
"He's someone I'm investigating." Seraphina reached over and retrieved her phone, deleting some irrelevant messages.
"Investigating?" Leandro watched her movements, "And how exactly are you doing that?"
Upon hearing his question, Seraphina looked up at him, a small smile playing on her lips, "What are you getting at?"
Leandro held her gaze, "Do you have any other methods of investigation besides the one you used on Balch?"
Seraphina couldn't help but laugh, "If it's the most effective and convenient, why not use it? After all, beauty is a resource too, isn't it a waste not to use it?"
Leandro's expression suddenly turned grim at her response.
But then Seraphina reached out and draped her arm around his neck, "The only downside to this method is it can be tiring. I don't mind the work, but... if there's an easier way, I wouldn't mind using it."
"Is there?" Leandro asked, his face still stern.
"I just had an idea." Seraphina said, "If I tell you who that guy is, it would save me a lot of effort."
Leandro looked at her silently, waiting for her to continue.
"Do you remember when I was kidnapped?" Seraphina blinked innocently at him.
