Hearing this, John just gave a slight smile, his gaze shifting towards a table a few meters away He casually glanced over and then retracted his gaze
Being quite the observant one, Seraphina followed his gaze and quickly identified who he was looking at
It’s not that she could pick out who John was looking at from dozens of people, but she had seen one of them in Johr’s profile before – Olive Reed, John’s ex–wife.
They were college classmates, but they divorced after only a year of marriage. The real reason for the divorce was unknown, and they publicly claimed it was due to incompatible personalities
Seraphina didn’t expect to run into her here, but thinking about it, it didn’t seem that strange
Only John kept glancing at Olive, while Olive was chatting with the person next to her, never once glancing this way.
Seeing this, Seraphina found it quite amusing and for a while, she even forgot about Leandro and focused her attention on John
As they chatted about trivial matters, they laughed and appeared very close
Soon, the wedding officially started, and everyone’s attention was on the bride and groom
“I haven’t been to a wedding in quite some time,” Seraphina murmured to John “When did you last attend one?”
Upon hearing this, John offered a slight smile, “On the day of my own wedding”
Hearing his response, Seraphina regarded him with surprise, “I hope I didn’t touch upon a sensitive topic.”
John glanced at her, flashing a reassuring smile, “Nothing of the sort”
Having said that, his gaze meandered back in the previous direction.
Observing this, Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle. She lifted her glass for a sip, then turned her head only to find that Leandro and Georgina had vacated their table.
Seraphina withdrew her gaze and ceased her survey of the room
The wedding proceeded as scheduled, with all the segments lasting about an hour. As the banquet commenced, the hall instantly buzzed with life. The guests were engaged in conversation, fostering a lively atmosphere
As Seraphina was chatting with two ladies she just met, talking about entertainment, John came over and said to her, “I need to step out for a while.”
“Okay, Seraphina replied, “I’ll be here chatting, you go do your thing”
John gave a slight smile, then stood up and left
It was only then that Seraphina glanced in Olive’s direction and realized she was no longer there
There’s too much going on tonight. Seraphina thought, who should I keep tabs on?
Olive walked into the elevator alone, pressed the floor button, watched the elevator doors close in front of her, then watched them reopen.
John was standing outside the elevator, his gaze landing on her face.
Olive slightly furrowed her brows, then said, “What a coincidence”
“Indeed,” John replied, stepping into the elevator He glanced at the floor Olive had pressed and didn’t press any other buttons.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Olive glanced at him, “You’re staying on this floor too?”
“No,” John answered.
After a few seconds of silence, Olive spoke again, I saw your date. She’s very pretty, really stole the show”
“Your date doesn’t seem to be all that,” John retorted.
Luckily, the elevator stopped. As soon as the doors opened, Olive quickly walked out, with John leisurely trailing behind her..
Noticing John, Olive stopped and turned around, “You go on ahead”
“Why?” John also stopped and looked at her.
Unbelievable!
Taking a deep breath, Olive turned and quickly walked to her room door. She took out her room card to unlock the door, intending to rush in and close it.
But just as she was about to close the door, John blocked it from outside
“John, what are you trying to do?” Olive asked, somewhat irritated.
It was exactly at this moment that Leandro came out of a room across the hallway and overheard this. He looked up and saw John blocking a room door.
The next moment, John entered the room and disappeared behind the door
The door closed with a “bang”
Leandro only glanced briefly, then turned and headed towards the elevator
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Seraphina walked out. Seeing Leandro at the elevator entrance, she briefly paused, then with a poker face was about to walk past him
“If I were you, I wouldn’t chase after them,” Leandro said without turning his head.
Seraphina glanced at him and chuckled lightly. “Lucky for me, I’m not you”
She turned and walked away while Leandro stepped into the elevator
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Seraphina quickly returned, but the elevator button, and after getting in, stood in the corner in a daze.
Leandro paid her no mind, patiently waiting for the elevator to reach the top floor, then stepped out
Seraphina followed him, right up until he stopped at the door of his room, where she bumped into him.
Leandip swung the door open, pivoted, and cast a glance at her, “Aren’t you going to check on your boyfriend and his ex–wife?”
Seraphina retorted, her gaze meeting his, “I’m more intrigued by exploring the presidential suite”
Having said this, she nudged Leandro aside and proceeded into the room first
Upon entering. Seraphina made a beeline for the suite’s inner chamber Leandro seemed to have no intention of engaging with her antics and headed directly towards the cloakroom.
After ensuring there were no other individuals in every nook and cranny of the room, Seraphina headed to the cloakroom She found Leandro was already unfastening his tie and jacket, preparing to remove his shirt
She swiftly closed the distance between them, wrapping her arms around him from behind and inhaling deeply.
There was no scent of cologne, nor the fresh aroma of a recent shower.
Although his clothes were immaculately arranged, indicating no untoward activity, Seraphina meticulously inspected him before feeling a modicum of relief. However, she still grumbled slightly, an undercurrent of dissatisfaction in her lone.
Leandro, whose shirt was half off when she hugged him and sniffed him, didn’t react, just said, “Let me go.”
“Nope” Seraphina nestled into his back. “Unless you answer my question… Did you come here for me?”
“No.” Leandro replied.
Upon hearing his response, Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle. She moved to his front, quickly pecked his lips and said, “You’re not fooling anyone. But anyway, I’m glad you’re here.”
She then leaned back into his embrace, freely voicing her thoughts, “I really don’t care about John and his ex–wife. As long as nothing happened between you and Georgina Which room did you just come from?”
After posing the question, she tilted her head up to look at him, waiting for his answer
Leandro silently observed her for a while, then, seemingly out of patience, he grabbed the back of her head and leaned down to kiss her lips.
