Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 305

Luke and Norman clearly hadn’t expected their meeting to go so smooth today. Both of them werepretty chuffed afterwards.

Noticing it was getting late, Luke popped the question to Leandro, “It’s been a long time since we had ameal together. Would you like to join us for lunch? You seem to be getting busier and busier lately.”

Leandro didn’t respond straight away.

Norman caught the look on Leandro’s face, sniggered and said to Luke, “How could you forget?Seraphina is in the lounge. There’s no way he’s gonna ditch his wife and grab lunch with you!”

Luke suddenly got the hint. “Duh, how could I forget that. They’re newlyweds, they must be head overheels for each other!”

Leandro clearly had had enough of their banter. His expression didn’t change, but he quickly hadYasmina show Luke and Norman out.

When Leandro stepped into the lounge, Seraphina was watching a video on her tablet.

Seeing him walk in, she asked in surprise, “What’s up? Did the negotiations fall through?”

“The negotiations were successful,” Leandro replied.

“That was quick?” Seraphina checked the time in surprise. It had only been 20 minutes since she camein.

According to Yasmina, they had been debating the issue for two days without reaching a consensus.How could they have made such progress in just 20

minutes?

“Aren’t you going to eat?” Leandro asked.

Seraphina was engrossed in the most interesting part of the video and quickly responded, “Yasminahas ordered lunch! Let me finish this video! If you’ré hungry, you can start eating.”

Seeing this, Leandro took off his suit jacket, sat down next to her, and looked at the tablet in her hand.novelbin

It was a documentary about a serial killer. Leandro wasn’t interested in this kind of stuff, but he stayedput after he sat down.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” Seraphina looked at him.

Leandro glanced at her but didn’t respond.

Seraphina sensed something. She leaned against him, positioned the tablet so they both could see,and continued watching.

Leandro adjusted his position slightly, put an arm around her, and let her continue watching.

The video lasted over an hour. Leandro let her finish it.

Seraphina stretched out lazily. Suddenly remembering the time, she reached out and patted hisstomach, “Are you hungry?”

Feeling his tight abs under her hand, she couldn’t help but pat a few more times.

Leandro glanced at her, “If you want to stay here, I don’t mind.”

Hearing this, Seraphina took in the situation, reluctantly pulled back her hand.

When they came out of the lounge, Yasmina was just coming in with their lunch.

The previous two lunches had been snapped up by other colleagues on the 26th floor before theycooled down. Luckily, the timing was perfect this time. “Mr. Reynolds, here’s your lunch.”

With Seraphina around, the atmosphere in the office was noticeably lighter.

Yasmina also seemed more relaxed. As she placed the lunch on the table in the reception area, shegave Seraphina a knowing look.

Seraphina pretended not to see. She sat next to Leandro, casually picked up a piece of fruit and put itin her mouth, “You eat it. I’ll have fruit. I’ll leave when you’re done.”

Leandro saw her act and knew she must have had lunch already. But he didn’t call her out, just put thefruit in front of her and started eating.

The fruit was quickly finished. Seraphina, bored, picked up a magazine to flip through. When shelooked up after she had finished flipping through the magazine, she saw that Leandro was still eating.

Seraphina put down the magazine and got up to go to the bathroom.

The moment she stepped out of the office, Yasmina immediately looked up at her with a mischievoussmile on her face, “Just having lunch, why is it taking so long?”

“What?” Seraphina walked over and lightly tapped her on the head, “What are you thinking?”

Yasmina was clearly not convinced, “Usually, Mr. Reynolds only needs about 20 minutes for lunch.Today, it’s been 40 minutes, and he’s still not done.”

Hearing this, Seraphina frowned slightly.

Judging by his usual eating speed, he was indeed slower today.

She suddenly recalled something she had said earlier. She said “I’ll leave when you’re done.”

Could Leandro be eating so slowly because of what she said?

“Honestly, I never thought Mr. Reynolds would have this side to him.” Yasmina said, chuckling toherself.

Seraphina gave her a look, “What kind of person do you think he is?”

Yasmina immediately listed, “Cold, aloof. To me, the old Mr. Reynolds was like a god. But since youcame, he’s become more human.”

Seraphina laughed, “He’s your boss, you dare to say that about him.”

“I’m just telling the truth,” Yasmina said, “You’re the closest person to him, you know best what he’slike. Right?”

Seraphina chuckled, leaned in close and whispered, “I’m not telling.”

Yasmina rolled her eyes in resignation, “You’re so crafty!”

When Seraphina returned to the office, Leandro had finally finished his meal.

Just then, Seraphina brought in a cup of coffee for Yasmina and placed it in front of him, “Here’s yourafter-dinner coffee.”

Leandro glanced at the coffee, then at her, “What are you doing this afternoon?”

“Resting,” Seraphina replied.

“Going home?” Leandro asked casually.

Seraphina shook her head, pointing to his lounge, “I plan to rest here.”

Leandro’s eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, “Is it because of thatinvitation?”

Seraphina suddenly paused. Was it because of that invitation?

She wasn’t even sure herself.

But since Leandro had already given her a perfect excuse, why not take it?

“Yeah.” Seraphina lifted her chin slightly in response, “It’s because of that invitation. If you’re pissed,then kick me out!”

With that, Seraphina stood up and strutted off to the lounge.

Leandro sat there for a bit longer, then finally got up and followed her into the lounge.
