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 y 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.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “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 particrly 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 jetg 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 Grayspany, so this gallery


    was her secret base. It was very convenient toe 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 regr business. There were a


    certain number of visitors and customersing 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 shoesst 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. “Wee to Carney


    Artful Reverie.”


    Compared to the woman, Seraphina’s makeup was more borate, her red lips eye catching. When


    she smiled, her eyes were full of light.


    Twopletely 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 cane and


    watch.”


    Seraphina took the ticket handed to her and nced 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 epted the ticket and shed 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.


    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
