After leaving Enchanted Petals Club, Seraphina bolted straight home.
The open-plan one-bedroom cottage was neat and tidy, certainly not her usual style—it was clear Sandra had come over to clean up the place for her again.
That lady from the ritzy family sure is quite the housewife.
Seraphina sighed deep down, casually unfastened her bra, tossed it onto the coffee table, and sank into the couch.
The first thing she did when she plonked down was to boot up her computer, then took out her voice recorder, and started to sort out the recording from that night.
Having dinner with Terrell was just a smoke screen for the evening, the ultimate goal was to get Terrell and Balch in the same room, hence the recording in the restroom was the key.
However, when she got to the part in the restroom, Seraphina started to get a bit of a headache.
Terrell and Balch hardly said a word to each other after their encounter, and she had to painstakingly sift through the segments filled with her flirtatious exchanges with Leandro.
After a few minutes of focused listening, she couldn’t help but rip off her headphones and toss them aside.
Her ears were filled with the close calls she had with Leandro, making her feel strangely hot and bothered.
Seraphina got up and went to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water and took a few big gulps.
But she couldn’t stop her mind from replaying the scenes—what was Leandro’s reaction to her? Was he usually good at hiding it, or was it just a one-off surprise?
Lost in thought, Seraphina was jolted back to reality by the sound of the doorbell.
She absentmindedly opened the door without breaking away from her train of thought.
Karan was standing at the door, looking at her with a cold gaze.
