Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 374

Agency S was perfectly located, just a stone's throw away from all sorts of restaurants downstairs. After consulting with Seraphina, Patrick decided to go to his regular restaurant.

Once they sat down, Seraphina handed the menu over to Patrick. Without much thought, he ordered two sets and shooed the waiter off.

"We've got lobster and lamb chops here," Seraphina said. "You ordered such a fancy meal for me, how much weight am I gonna gain?"

Patrick glanced at her, grinned, and said, "You're so skinny, you could eat more."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow. “Most men say that. But when a woman actually puts on weight, the result is usually being rejected.”

Patrick chuckled, "I mean it, really."

Seraphina took a sip of water, keeping her own counsel.

Then Patrick asked her why she was at Agency S.

"I asked a friend to dig up some info for me," she responded.

"Dig up what? Need a hand?" asked Patrick.

Seraphina gave him a sidelong glance, smiling. "If you're willing to help, that'd be great. But I don't want to cause you any trouble."

"No sweat," Patrick said. "You've helped me out a lot before, I'll help you. What're you looking for?"

Seraphina looked at him calmly, slowly saying, "I want to find out about the women who were treated at Mercy LifeCare Hospital from April to July."

Patrick nodded and said, "It's not easy, but I think I can help you."

"You have got so many elite people working for you, it can't be difficult." Seraphina said, "I'll leave it to you then."

Patrick grinned, “I'd be happy to.”

Seraphina also grinned, then said, “Aren't you gonna ask me why I'm looking for this?”

"You're looking for it, you've got your reasons." Patrick looked down, smiling before looking back up at her. "What I want to know is, why'd you come back to Starhaven on your own?”

Now that's an interesting question.

Seraphina looked at him, slowly saying, “I came back to deal with my mom's estate.”

Patrick nodded, then asked, “Why didn't Mr. Reynolds come with you?”

"He's busy," Seraphina said. "I can handle this little thing on my own."

"When are you planning on going back?" Patrick asked.

Seraphina grinned, "Depends on when I get the information I need."

Hearing this, Patrick smiled and said, "So should I hurry up and find the information you need, or should I slow down so you can spend more time hanging out with friends in this foreign land?"

Seraphina looked at him quietly for a while, then laughed, "I guess that's up to you."

Patrick smiled, "Alright, I'll think about it."

……

After lunch with Patrick, Seraphina went to meet other friends.

Although Patrick could help her find all the information, she didn't dare trust him completely before she had a better understanding of the situation.

On the road, Abbot, who was in the passenger seat, kept stealing glances at Seraphina, looking like he had something to say but didn't dare to speak up.

At first, Seraphina paid him no mind, but eventually she got fed up and glanced at him, "You don't need to report this to your boss."

"But ma'am..." Abbot cautiously said, "Patrick seems to have a thing for you."

Seraphina laughed, "There are plenty of men who have a thing for me. If your boss gets jealous over every single one, he'd go insane."

After hearing this, Abbot was speechless.
