Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 89

Locking eyes with Leandro, Seraphina waved at him, then skipped over to the chair opposite his desk, plopping down with a smile. "Mr. Reynolds, long time no see!"

Leandro merely shot her a glance, then walked over to his desk, hit the intercom button, and hollered, "Keen."

Three seconds later, the office door was gently knocked twice, and in walked cautious Keen. "Mr. Reynolds."

Leandro glanced at Seraphina, then at Keen. The message was clear.

A bit flustered, Keen explained, "Ms. Bennett barged in; I couldn't stop her."

Leandro just stared at him, clearly not satisfied with the response.

With a helpless shrug, Keen addressed Seraphina, "Ms. Bennett, please leave. Mr. Reynolds has a meeting soon and really doesn’t have time to entertain you."

"He's not in a meeting now, is he?" Seraphina shot back, lounging comfortably in her chair. "Are you now stopping me from meeting my fiancé? Since when do you have that authority?"

Keen looked to Leandro for guidance, but he was now engrossed in his meeting files, leaving Keen to solve the problem. Gathering his courage, Keen warned, "Ms. Bennett, please don't make this difficult. If you continue, I'll have to call security."

"Go ahead and call security." Seraphina retorted, nonchalantly swinging her legs onto Leandro's desk. "If you call security, I'll call the press. Let's see who ends up more embarrassed."

Keen thought for a moment, then decided to deal with the immediate problem, leaving the rest for later.

Just as Keen was about to call for security, Leandro finally looked up at Seraphina.

Seeing this, Keen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the office.

Outside, Yasmina was waiting with her laptop. Seeing Keen exit, she looked surprised. "What's going on? Is the meeting still on?"

Wiping sweat from his brow, Keen replied, "I’m not sure; we'll have to see."

Yasmina raised an eyebrow and said, "If today's meeting is cancelled, my respect for Mr. Reynolds is going to take a serious hit. Even if Ms. Bennett is as stunning as the rumors say,"

All Keen could do was sigh.

Back in the office, Leandro finally broke his silence by asking, "What do you want?"

With a gentle smile, Seraphina responded, "Just to see you. It's been days. Don't you miss me?"

"Now you've seen me." Leandro's eyes flicked to her legs on his desk, his face impassive.

Seraphina knew the upcoming meeting must be important. She slowly retracted her legs, stood up, and moved to Leandro's chair.

"Is that enough?" As she spoke, she sank into Leandro's lap. "I plan to give you my entire evening."

She slowly leaned into Leandro, her lips almost touching his, but he abruptly turned his face away.

Seeing his jawline harden, Seraphina suppressed a smile and said, "The other day you said my offer wasn't enough. Now I’m all in, isn't that enough?"

As she spoke, she reached out to loosen his tie. When he snatched his tie back, she moved her hand to his shirt, slowly pulling it out from his trousers, then slid her hand to his toned abdomen.
