Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 97

The following day, Seraphina was rudely awakened by a shrill scream.

It was already past 10 in the morning, and sunlight was streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the room in a warm glow. She was deeply buried in a soft, messy duvet, and it took her a while to force her eyes open.

A middle-aged woman in a cleaning uniform stood by the entrance to the lounge, looking at her in shock.

The woman usually came around this time to clean Leandro's room. Leandro was a creature of habit, so the cleaner was used to seeing an empty room every day. Needless to say, finding a naked woman sound asleep in bed was quite a shock.

Yasmina, who was organizing files in the outer office, heard the scream. Noticing the cleaner frozen in place, she hurried over, asking, "What's wrong?"

As she spoke, she saw Seraphina slowly sitting up in bed.

The morning sunlight was bright, illuminating the disorder in the room—women's clothes scattered about, the displaced sofa, a glass of water knocked over on the coffee table, crumpled curtains, and most notably, the woman on the bed, her skin glowing with conspicuous red marks all over her body.

Yasmina's first thought was, Thia was way too intense!

However, when she came to her senses, she found herself frozen in place, feeling awkward in front of Seraphina sitting on the bed.

After all, she had guarded Seraphina like a hawk just the previous evening, only for Seraphina to brazenly spend the night in her boss's bed.

Seraphina had just woken up, still not fully awake, but she managed to flash Yasmina a smile, her eyes half-closed, and say, "Hey, good morning."

She was utterly charming.

Snapping back to reality, Yasmina quickly dismissed the cleaner before turning to Seraphina and saying, "Ms. Bennett, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were resting here. I wouldn't have disturbed you otherwise."

"It's fine." Seraphina said, rubbing her sore body. Her demeanor was friendly as she asked, "Where is he?"

"Mr. Reynolds has gone to meet a client. He's not in the office right now." Yasmina breathed a sigh of relief before asking, "Is there anything you need?"

Only then did Seraphina fully wake up. Looking down at herself, she requested, "A complete set of clothes, a full set of makeup, and breakfast."

"Alright, I'll get on it right away." Yasmina replied.

"Wait." Seraphina suddenly stopped her and said, "Prepare two more sets of lingerie. Thanks."

Yasmina was taken aback but quickly agreed and left the room.

Seraphina then got up and took a shower, allowing the cleaner to tidy up the room.

By the time the cleaner had finished tidying up, Seraphina had already finished breakfast, changed into the clothes Yasmina had prepared, and was ready to leave.

"Ms. Bennett." The cleaner called her hesitantly, pointing to the two extra sets of lingerie, "Are you taking these with you?"

"No, you can leave them in the wardrobe," Seraphina replied.

The cleaner looked a bit uncomfortable but did as she was told.

As they passed each other, Seraphina suddenly picked up one of the sets and told the cleaner, "I'll take this one; you can put the other one away."
