Leandro stared at Seraphina, his hand holding a cigarette frozen in mid-air.
Seraphina met his gaze, a tranquil smile on her face.
"So, you hate me," Leandro finally spoke.
The smile on Seraphina's lips didn't waver, but she seemed a bit surprised.
Where the hell did that come from? she thought.
"Why would you say that, Mr. Reynolds?" Seraphina asked. "I was raised by the Reynolds family after all. How could I bite the hand that fed me?"
"How much do you hate me?" Leandro ignored her question.
Seraphina stayed silent for a moment, then leaned in close to Leandro's ear. "Guess," she said.
With that, she let out a soft chuckle, turned around, and exited the car.
Leandro sat quietly in the car, watching her red dress recede into the distance.
As soon as Seraphina entered her apartment building, she pulled out her phone. As she entered the elevator, she received a call.
"Did you get the shot?" Seraphina asked.
The person on the other end confirmed. Seraphina responded with a grunt and hung up.
She put down her phone and glanced at her reflection in the elevator doors.
The dress she wore from seven years ago felt out of place.
She stared at herself in silence, Leandro's words echoing in her ears - So, you hate me.
