Chapter 238
Chapter 238
After taking a shower, Seraphina got lost in her thoughts. She thought about that physics professor named Maddox, wondering what role he might play in these strange happenings if he really was involved with Keeley. Why would a guy with such high status have anything to do with these incidents?
She also thought about the woman who walked out of the concert hall. Who was she? And why did she manage to shake the usually cool and calm Leandro?
While pondering these questions, she quickly finished her shower, wrapped herself in a robe, and got ready to head back to her study and continue her research.
As she stepped out of the bathroom, she found Leandro waiting for her on the bed.
“Come here, Leandro said.
Seraphina looked at him and asked, “Why?”
But considering she had already finished all her work, she wasnt scared of him. So she walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, smiling at Leandro. “What’s up. Mr. Reynolds?”
Leandro didn’t say anything but reached out, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her onto the bed with him.
“Hold on a sec.Seraphina tried to pull away. “I still have stuff to do!”
But Leandro just turned off the lights
The room plunged into darkness, and Seraphina was still in his arms.
‘Stay still, Leandro said. “Sleep”
Seraphina was speechless
After a while, she said. 1l probably keep you awake if I stay here. I think I should go back to my room.
As she tried to get up, Leandro pulled her back onto the bed
‘Sleep,” he said again.
This time, he held her even tighter, their breaths mingling.
This wasn’t like Leandro.
…
Even when they shared a bed, they kept to themselves. He knew he might not be able to sleep, but he wouldn’t disturb her rest. But today…. “How am I supposed to sleep with you holding me like this?” Seraphina asked.
Leandro didn’t respond, he just gently kissed her.
It was a very tender kiss, light but full of affection and emotion
They’d already done the deed, so why all this intimacy now?
Seraphina was puzzled, but Leandro didn’t do anything else. He just held her quietly gently kissing her
Seraphina didnt have any particularly important work to do at the moment. She’d already gone through her files once and there was no rush to go through them again
So she let Leandro hold her close, so close she could barely breathe.
Even as she drifted off to sleep, she couldnt help wondering
What the hell got into this man?
After a long flight the day before, coupled with jet lag and work stress, Seraphina slept until noon the next day.
When she woke up, Leandro was already gone
After getting up and freshen
up a bit, she took her files and went back to her study.
For now, she was still working under the radar as a journalist for Patrick Grays company, so this gallery was her secret base. It was very convenient to come and go, and anyone who needed to find her knew where to look
The gallery’s exhibition period was over, and it was now open for regular business. There were a certain number of visitors and customers coming in every day, but they were spread out over the entire day, so most of the time it was quiet.
When Seraphina walked in, there was only one customer in the spacious gallery, who was admiring a watercolor painting by a budding artist on the spiral
staircase
Seraphina didn’t pay much attention, but when her gaze swept over the woman’s high heels, she suddenly paused
She had seen these shoes last night.
Seraphina looked up, following the shoes to a tall and slender figure with long hair flowing down to her waist.
“Mrs. Reynolds” A staff member passed by saw her, and gave her a gentle hello.
Seraphuna nodded, her eyes still on the woman’s figure.
As expected, when the woman heard the name “Mrs. Reynolds”, she turned around and looked in Seraphina’s direction
Their eyes met, and Seraphina gave her a small smile before slowly walking over to her.
Up close, she could see the womans face clearly.
Her skin was delicate, her features beautiful. This beauty was truly noble, gentle yet crisp, her makeup light, yet her features were still stunning. For a moment. Seraphina even doubted whether the woman was wearing makeup at all. After studying her for a while, she confirmed that she was just wearing light makeup.
“Hello, I’m Seraphina, I’m in charge here,” Seraphina said with a small smile. “Welcome to Carney Artful Reverie.”
Compared to the woman, Seraphina’s makeup was more elaborate, her red lips eye catching. When she smiled, her eyes were full of light.
Two completely different styles.
The woman also looked Seraphina up and down before handing over a business card. ‘Mrs. Reynolds, hello, my name is Magnolia
Seraphina took the card and read the woman’s name and title-Magnolia, cellist for the Alice Symphony Orchestra.
Seraphina didn’t know much about the music industry, but she did know that the Alice Symphony Orchestra was a well known orchestra based in Austria. “Ms. Magnolia, you’re a cellist, Seraphina said. “That’s amazing.”
“You’re too kind” Magnolia replied. “I’m just lucky that I get to do what I love for a living.”
1 saw you at the concert hall yesterday, Ms. Magnolia Seraphina said ‘is the Alice Symphony Orchestra performing in Sunburst City?”
“No,” Magnolia said. “It’s my solo concert.”
Seraphina appropriately looked surprised. “That’s impressive.”
Magnolia gave a small smile and took out two tickets from her bag. If you’re interested, Mrs. Reynolds, I hope you and Mr. Reynolds can come and
watch.”
Seraphina took the ticket handed to her and glanced at it. It was for the first row, smack dab in the middle. The best seat in the house
And what’s more, she even mentioned inviting Leandro.
Without any hesitation, Seraphina accepted the ticket and flashed a smile, “Ms. Magnolia, do you know my husband?”
Hearing this, Magnolia paused slightly before replying, “Mr. Reynolds is a big shot in the business world. Who in Sunburst City wouldn’t know him?”
“So, you’re from Surburst City too?” Seraphina asked again. Did you grow up there? When did you move to Austria?
Magnolia nodded, “I was born and raised in Sunburst City. I moved abroad six years ago. It’s been a while since I’ve been back.”
Six years ago
That timeline was quite interesting to Seraphina. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She was about to ask more questions when Magnolia’s phone suddenly rang. Magnolia apologized to Seraphina and turned to answer it.
Left alone, Seraphina stood there, waiting for her and taking the chance to admire her slim figure.
Her slim waist, sexy figure. Even as a woman, she couldn’t help but admire and aspire
