Chapter 342
That night, when Leandro got back to Reynolds Manor, Seraphina was in the study checking the guest
list.
The invitations had been printed and sent out that very day. Almost everyone who had received one
had responded, and most confirmed their attendance.
So, things should go smoothly from here on.
While Seraphina was looking at the list, she suddenly heard Leandro upstairs.
She paused for a moment, picked up the list and went to the door, quietly waiting.
As soon as Leandro came upstairs, he saw the study door, was opened and walked straight in.
Just as he reached the door, Seraphina appeared in front of him, paper and pen in hand, looking at him
expectantly, “Mr. Reynolds, could I get a response from you?”
Leandro wasn’t taken aback by her behaviour. He just nced at the paper and pen in her hand, “What
response?”
Seraphina tilted her head and looked at him, “You got the invitation, didn’t you? Isn’t it polite to respond
right away?”
“What invitation?” Leandro asked, expressionless.
“You didn’t get it?” Seraphina was a bit surprised.
But the next moment, she realized he was teasing her.
Only Keen and Yasmina have free ess to his office. The stuff she personally left on his desk, they
wouldn’t just toss it. So how could he not have gotten it?
Seraphina suddenly took a step forward, getting closer to Leandro, gritted her teeth softly, “That was a
one-of-a-kind hand-drawn invitation, unlike any other. Whether you got it or not, I’ve sent it, you have to
come.”
Having said that, she put a checkmark next to his name on the guest list right in front of him.
Leandro saw her action, the corner of his mouth twitched upwards, “Do I also need an invitation to get
in?”
“You don’t.” Seraphina said, “I’ll give you a sticker that says ‘Seraphina’s Husband’ on the day. The
staff will recognize you and let you in, don’t worry!”
Hearing her words, Leandro felt a bit pleased. He took a step forward and pulled her into his arms,
leaning down to kiss her.
Seraphina let him kiss her for a bit, but soon wriggled out of his arms.
Leandro suddenly found his arms empty, his gaze dimmed a bit, but then he saw that Seraphina had
simply returned to the desk and pulled out a small booklet.
The invitation had been redesigned due to the change in venue, and the auction catalogue had been
reprinted, all in the style of Cedarcrest Chateau.
And the booklet in Seraphina’s hand, was the freshly printed auction catalogue.
“Since you’ve agreed toe, you have toe and support me then.” Seraphina waved the booklet
in her hand and then flipped it open to hand it to him.
Leandro took it, quickly scanned through it, and saw a few auction items that she’d circled.
“I don’t care about the rest, but these are what I donated.” Seraphina said, “There’ll be all sorts of
treasures that night. While mine may be ordinary, I don’t want them to look too shabby.”
Leandro looked over the three auction items, already having a n in mind. He looked up at her, “You
just don’t want them to look shabby?”
Hearing this, Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle. Then she pointed at one of the items, saying, “The
other two are fine, but this one…. I think it might fetch a high price.”
After saying that, herughter suddenly stopped. She looked at Leandro carefully, her eyes wide,
“That’s not too much to ask, right?”
Leandro just said, “I’ll think about it.”
“Then I’ll give you some time to think.” Seraphina said, adjusting his tie and shirt for him, “Go back to
your room tonight, take a bath, rest well. You have all night to think quietly.”
After saying that, she looked at him gently and smiled.
Leandro suddenly grabbed her hand, slowly saying, “Are you threatening me?”
Seraphina blinked her eyes, looking at him innocently, “I’m just tempting you.”
Hearing that, Leandro gave her a deep look, then wrapped his arm around her waist, took her into the
study, and closed the door
On the day of the charity g, there was a sea of guests. The atmosphere was lively,parable to a
major event.
As the host, Seraphina was very busy, weing one guest after another.
John came to show his support with his new girlfriend. Just as Seraphina was mocking him while his
girlfriend wasn’t looking, Sandy ran in and told her, “Bowen
Smith is here.”
Hearing this news, the smile on Seraphina’s face brightened. Not bothering to mock John any longer,
she said hello and followed Sandy out.
In front of the signature wall, Bowen was signing his name with Tania Martin, then they stopped to let
the reporters take a few snaps.
After these procedures, they finally came over to Seraphins.
“Bowen, wee.” Seraphina extended her hand with a smile.
Bowen heard this, smiled slightly and shook her hand, then said, “Sera, I wish your event sess.”
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
Thank you.” Seraphina smiled back, then turned to Sandy, “Show Mr. Smith and his fiancée in.”
Sandy immediately looked troubled, “Mrs. Reynolds, the list… doesn’t seem to have Mr. Smith and Ms.
Martin.”
“What?” Seraphina feigned surprise, “How did you do your work, missing such important guests?
Hearing this, Bowen smiled slightly, “No wonder I’ve been waiting for your invitation but never got it. But
since it’s your first time hosting such an event, I thought I shoulde and show some support. So I
came on my own. If there really isn’t a spot, just add two more chairs for us.”
Hearing this, Tania shook Bowen’s arm in dissatisfaction, but Bowen seemed oblivious and ignored her.
“Mr. Smith, are you ragging on me for not being thorough?” Seraphina asked with a slight frown. “Even
if I genuinely forgot to invite you, I’d still wee you with open arms if you showed up.”
After saying that, Seraphina turned to Sandy, “Please seat Mr. Smith and Ms. Martin next to me.”
Upon hearing this, Sandy promptly nodded, and then said to Bowen, “Mr. Smith, Ms. Martin, right this
way please.”
Bowen nodded, and then said to Seraphina, “See you in a bit.”
Seraphina smiled in response, then turned to watch their backs as they entered the venue.
About an hour and a halfter, as the guests trickled in and only ten minutes were left until the start of
the event, seeing that most of them had already arrived, Seraphina turned to Sandy and asked, “Has
everyone arrived?”
“All the should-be-here’s and shouldn’t-be-here’s are here,” Sandy, who had been busy counting heads
all evening, said somewhat helplessly. The unexpected turnout was a bit much for her, “But everyone
on our guest list has arrived, except for…”
Someone still hasn’t shown up?
“Who?” Seraphina couldn’t help but ask,
“Mr. Reynolds.
