Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 363

In the video, Leandro was saying a few words to Valerio, while Seraphina was sitting on the sofa, head down,

engrossed in her phone.

Valeno nodded after hearing Leandro’s words, then handed the tablet to Seraphina.

Seraphina looked up and her gaze directly met Leandro’s in the video.

There was a moment of silence, then Seraphina said, “We just arrived, I’m feeling a bit wiped out, we still need to

adjust to the time difference. We plan to stay home and rest today, and I will sort out stuff with the lawyer

tomorrow.”

“Alnght,” said Leandro, “Take it easy.”

You too, Seraphina replied.

With that, she handed the tablet back to Valerio.

“I’m gonna hit the shower, don’t glue your eyes to the tablet for too long, okay?” Seraphina said, ruffling Valerio’s

hair before heading upstairs.

Valerio watched her go up, then turned to the video and gave a small smile.

Leandro on the other end of the video also smiled.

After Seraphina had her shower, she took Valerio for his, then they both went to bed.

Valerio was claiming he couldn’t sleep, but was out like a light in less than twenty minutes.

Listening to his steady breathing. Seraphina couldn’t help but tweak his nose.

Valerio was sleeping soundly, but she was wide awake.

These quiet moments, just lying in bed and letting her thoughts wander, were relaxing in their own way.

Seraphina lay awake for three hours. Seeing no signs of Valerio waking up, she decided to head downstairs and

watch TV.

Leandro’s housekeeper only showed up when needed, so the house was quiet with just Seraphina and Valerio.

After going downstairs, Seraphina first had a drink of water in the kitchen, then sat in the living room. Just as she

was about to switch on the TV, she noticed the computer on the desk was on.

She guessed Valerio probably turned it on when he was bored, so she went over to shut it down.

A few programs were running on the computer. After closing each one, the video call interface appeared.

In the video, her body occupied most of the screen, with a small corner in the upper right unclear.

After switching between a couple of screens, Seraphina finally saw that on the other end was what seemed to be

the ceiling of Leandro’s office.

From the angle, it looked like Leandro’s phone was placed on his office desk, with the video call still connected.

Seraphina was slightly taken aback, then put on her headphones.

No one was visible in the video, and the voices outside the frame were distant and noisy, but Seraphina could still

make out Leandro’s voice, and Keen’s, along with two or three other top executives from the Reynolds Group. They

were discussing a project in Europe.

Everyone was having a meeting a bit far from the phone, likely not noticing the small sounds coming from it.

Seraphina glanced at the ceiling in the screen, then at her own webcam, and a light bulb went off.

This must be an arrangement between Leandro and Valerio.

Valerio had turned on the computer here, keeping a video chat with Leandro on the other end – meaning, if

Leandro didn’t hang up, he could always see what’s going on in their living room.

In this way, it was like a surveillance device was installed here. As long as Seraphina and Valerio were around, he

could see and hear them anytime.

Seraphina sat quietly, just listening to Leandro’s distant and deep voice in her headphones, a bit raspy, analyzing

the progress of the project without emotion.

She glanced at the time displayed on the computer. It should be almost 2 a.m. back home.

She sat for a long time, then took off her headphones, took another look at the screen, and walked away.

The computer was still running, the video was still on, with no changes.

Sunburst City.

The Reynolds Group headquarters was still brightly lit at 3 a.m.

When Keen and a few executives walked out of Leandro’s office, they all looked worn out.

“I really am getting-old. I used to pull all-nighters, now I’m exhausted just staying up till now.”

“Old? You’re younger than me, don’t complain in front of me!”

The executives chatted as they headed for the elevator.

One of them turned to look at Keen, gave him a pat on the shoulder, “You’re still so young, but looking a bit under

the weather! You’re nowhere near Mr. Reynolds!”

Hearing this, Keen glanced at the office, thought of the energetic man inside, and let out a sigh.

Who could outdo him when it comes to being a workaholic?.

Meanwhile, Leandro finally sat down at his desk and glanced at his phone that was still on the video call.

His slightly blurred gaze suddenly became clear.

He picked up his phone, projecting the screen onto the big screen.

In the screen, someone was in the living room.

Seraphina had sat down on the sofa at some point, watching TV and peeling an apple.

Since she was alone, she was almost motionless except for the slight movements of peeling the apple.

Yet, even these tiny movements, Leandro watched carefully.

He watched her finish peeling the apple, slowly eat it, then wipe her hands with a napkin.

A series of mundane actions.

Yet, he was totally engrossed.
