Chapter 72

When Leandro arrived, Keen was anxiously waiting at the door.

Upon seeing Leandro, Keen’s anxious expression immediately turned into guilt.

What happened?Leandro asked

Keen helplessly replied, Ms. Bennett hasn’t made a peep since she took her clothes and shoes. No matter how much I knock, she doesn’t respond

Keen felt like his luck was in the pits lately. His work used to be smooth sailing, but ever since Seraphina appeared, everything seemed to go south whenever he had to deal with her. He began to worry whether his boss would start doubting his abilities.

As these thoughts raced through his mind, Keen sneaked glances at Leandro, but Leandro didn’t meet his gaze. He simply looked at the security door and said, Call a locksmith.

Upon hearing this, Keen immediately stepped aside to make the call.

Ten minutes later, the locksmith arrived with his tools and had the hefty door open in a minute.

Leandro pushed open the door and walked in, while Keen, too scared to look inside, hurriedly closed the door and turned around to pay the locksmith.

Inside the dark room, Leandro flicked on the light and unsurprisingly found Seraphina sleeping soundly on the bed. With the weather getting warmer, she had the AC on, was covered with a blanket, and even had noisecancelling headphones on.

Leandro approached her and removed the headphones.

Startled awake, Seraphina stared at him for a moment before slowly sitting up, How did you get in?

Get up, change your clothes,Leandro calmly instructed.
