Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 272

When Seraphina saw Leandro, she breathed a sigh of relief and unlocked the car door.

Leandro opened the door and slid into the passenger seat.

Seraphina was driving by herself today. Even though she knew guards were tailing her, she wanted to keep a low profile, so she took a small car.

Leandro's body seemed somewhat cramped and uneasy inside the car, indicating that he wasn't very comfortable.

"What brought you here?" Seraphina asked.

Leandro glanced at the snacks on the dashboard and then asked, "Aren't you going home tonight?"

"I'm working. All-nighters are part of the gig." Seraphina replied. "Did you just get off work?"

Leandro didn't answer her question. He rolled down the window and his driver handed him a brown paper bag.

Leandro took the bag, placed it on the dash, and opened it. A warm, inviting aroma filled the car.

"Mmm, is that chicken wrap?" Seraphina sniffed. "Smells yummy. Did you swing by here after going home?"

Leandro took a chicken wrap from the bag and handed it to Seraphina.

When Seraphina took the wrap, she realized it was hot to the touch, but it was perfect for warming her hands on a cold night.

She gently blew on it to cool it down before taking a bite. Then she said, "I know you care about me, but you've had a long day. You should go home and rest."

"Eat first," Leandro said.

Even though Seraphina wasn't hungry, she took a bite of the chicken wrap at his insistence.

After she had finished one, Leandro asked, "One more?"

Seraphina shook her head quickly. "No, I'm already stuffed."

She handed the remaining bag to Leandro. "You should head home. I still have some work to do, and I've got my bodyguards. I'll be safe."

Leandro looked at the bag in his hand, still half full, glanced at her, and got out of the car.

Once he left, the atmosphere in the car seemed to lighten up. Seraphina gave a soft laugh and waved goodbye.

As Leandro walked away, Seraphina focused back on Mervin's personal files.

Mervin, 44, from Sunburst City, was a troublemaker in his youth with a criminal record for assault. Despite his fiery temper, he was a social butterfly who could adapt to any situation.

After reviewing all the information, Seraphina quickly messaged Terrell, "What role do you think Mervin plays in the crime gang?"

"He handles the orders," Terrell replied promptly.

"That's what I thought too," Seraphina said. "So, Mervin handles orders, Maddox plans the killing, Keeley executes. There might be others behind them."

After sending the message, it was a while before she got a reply.

"Mrs. Reynolds, you're still up? My wife and I need go to bed soon. Can we discuss this tomorrow?"

Feeling a bit awkward, Seraphina put down her phone, ready to review some more files when she noticed a familiar figure in the rear-view mirror—

It was Leandro's bodyguard.

Seraphina was taken aback.

Leandro had left a while ago, why was his bodyguard still here?

She shifted her gaze and noticed—Leandro's car was still parked on the side of the road. He hadn't left!
