Leandro didn't respond to her. He just lit up a cigarette, took a drag, then turned to look at Seraphina again.
"Valerio likes you," He said casually. "I'm leaving him in your care when Karan isn't around."
Seraphina, holding the bank card, chuckled. "You sure you want to trust me with him, Mr. Reynolds?"
Leandro blew out a smoke ring slowly. "Ms. Bennett, you're a smart cookie."
Meaning, she should know how not to shoot herself in the foot.
Seraphina laughed.
From kneeling on the carpet, she suddenly stood up, moved closer to Leandro, reached out and grabbed his tie.
"Aren't you afraid I'd use the kid to get close to you, Mr. Reynolds?" She asked.
Leandro took his tie back, his gaze deep. "With your tricks, you don't need Valerio to get close to me."
Seraphina couldn't help but laugh.
Was he implying that all her encounters with him after returning to Sunburst City were her own machinations?
That was a bit of a stretch. She never planned on running into him, let alone the trouble he brought every time!
Like last night...
She tilted her head to look at Leandro as she remembered last night. He, however, looked away, all serious.
Seraphina sighed.
A day ago, they were almost getting it on in the bathroom. Less than 24 hours later, he was back to his old self.
And last night, he was the one who lost control.
"Mr. Reynolds is a real mood swinger!" Seraphina sighed. "Last night I was almost your bedmate, now I'm a babysitter..."
