Keen left the office and quickly dialed Laura on Leandro’s instructions
About ten minutes later, Keen rushed back into Leandros office Leandro glanced at him and hit the mute button on his phone, “What’s up?”
“Laura says Ms Bennett is not at the apartment she went out”
Leandro responded calmly and gestured for Keen to leave
Although Leandros face was expressionless. Keen noticed a slight furrow in his brow when he mentioned that Seraphina was not in the apartment.
So, Keen immediately left the office and called Seraphina
But the call went unanswered, making Keen anxious
Considering Seraphina’s usual behavior, she might be up to something that would upset Leandro, and ultimately, he, as an assistant, would suffer
With this in mind, Keen immediately stopped what he was doing and started looking for Seraphina
But this wasnt Sunburst City at all, no matter how hard he tried it was very difficult to find a woman who had gone missing in the bustling city.
Keen searched for Seraphina all aftemoon, but her phone remained unreachable, and there was no sign of her
He was so worried that he wanted to call the police, but Leandro was as cool as a cucumber. He left work a bit earlier than usual, at 9 PM, and headed back to his apartment.
Seraphina still hadn’t shown up, and Keen didn’t want to annoy Leandro, so he wasted in the lobby of the apartment building
Close to 11 PM, Keens expectations were fulfilled – Seraphina returned to the apartment on her own!
Upon seeing her Keen rushed over and asked “Where the hell have you been?”
Seraphina looked a bit tired, she looked at him, I had a date, so I went out, any problem with that?”
“Who were you with? What meeting?” Keen asked worriedly. “Why couldn’t I reach your phone?”
Seraphina laughed at his question, “Why the hell do you care who I’m out with? Are you into me or something?”
Taken aback by her words, Keen took a step back, collected himself, and continued, “Ms. Bennett, you know how much Mr. Reynolds cares about you. Can you please not disappear like that next time? It, makes him worry”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow slightly. “Oh really? Can you elaborate on how much Mr. Reynolds cares about me?”
“Do I really need to spell it out for you?” Keen said impatiently, “You’re his main squeeze, can’t you feel tha17”
Seraphina contemplated for a while, then chuckled, “So, what do you think your boss would do if I just disappeared and never came back?”
Keen was taken aback by her words and without another word, he escorted her upstairs.
Leandro was sitting in the living room when Seraphina entered, with her laptop borrowed from Laura in front of him.
“You finished work early today.” Seraphina said, smiling
“You seem busier than me.” Leandro said calmly
Seraphina took off her shoes, walked over to Leandro, and looked down at the laptop.
The laptop was still on, and the files inside were clearly visible
Not wanting to be in denial Seraphina book the laptop, began deleting the files, and while doing so, said, I’m done with the laptop, it should be returned to Laura”
Watching her operation silently, Leandro slowly asked. “Don’t you need these important files anymore?”
Tve submitted them to the government,” Seraphina answered, “so they’re of no use to me here
Upon hearing her answer Leandro had a clearer idea of where she had been all day.
The laptop was filled with internal files from SAMs, some of which were extremely confidential.
SAMs was a company founded by Samuel Wilson and now run by Parker Wilson
The documents Seraphina had were related to many of SAM’s trade secrets, including the company’s cover–ups of factory pollution, alteration of product information, and illegal sales
Obviously, her disappearance was due to her submitting these files to the relevant authorities and Cooperating with the investigation.
“Why investigate SAMs Leandro asked.
“Because they broke the law.” Seraphina answered casually
Leandro did not respond
He knew this was not the real answer. He had a hunch about the real reason–Farrah had once mentioned that if Seraphina did not behave, Nadine would release her video.
Although Farrah did not know what was in the video, it was something that could threaten Seraphina, and it was not hard to guess what it was
Unwilling to be controlled by others, Seraphina chose to fight back by investigating SAM’s
Once these documents were made public, not to mention the penalties Parker, as the group’s leader, would face, the fines imposed by the Starhaven govemment, along with the subsequent crises they would have to deal with, would be enough to bankrupt SAMs
“How did you get these documents? Leandro asked again
Seraphina made a “money” gesture with her hand and said, “Money makes the world go round, Mr. Reynolds, you should know that better than me if not for money, how could you live in such a lavish apartment, and have so many people at your beck and call?”
As she spoke, she deleted the last record, closed the laptop, stood up and said, “Im so beat I’m going to take a bath and go to sleep…”
As she got up, she suddenly felt a blackout and her body swayed, falling towards the floor.
Leandro quickly stood up and caught her limp body He touched her forehead and found that she had started to fever
Seraphina was feeling a bit woary, but she quickly snapped out of it, “I’m fine, I’m fine.
Seeing that she still wanted to take a shower Leandro immediately scooped her up and camed her back to the bedroom, laying her on the bed
As soon as she hit the soft bed, Seraphina let out a deep sigh of relief, and then promptly closed her eyes
Leandro made a phone call, and then sat quietly by the bed watching her for a while before he finally said, “All for a woman who doesnt love you anymore?”
Hearing this, Seraphinas heavy eyelids suddenly trembled After a while, she managed to open her eyes and looked at him with difficulty whispered. “Once this is over I’ll treat her like a stranger, and we won’t have anything to do with each other.”
