Chapter 149
Leandro was standing in the hallway, staring at Seraphina from a distance, not making any moves.
Keen came over from another direction, first noticing Seraphina. He was about to approach her when he realized Leandro was also there
Seeing this, he immediately stopped in his tracks.
Just then, someone emerged from a room and seemed to be heading over to strike up a conversation with Leandro. Keen bolted over to intercept.
The person was introducing himself to Leandro, but Leandro’s gaze was fixed on Seraphina Keen quickly stepped in, blocking the person, and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Reynolds is tied up at the moment. Can you come back later?”
“But…”
The person clearly didn’t want to give up, but Leandro ignored him and slowly started moving towards Seraphina.
Keen quickly ushered the person back into the room.
Seraphina remained seated, undisturbed, as Leandro approached. She didn’t even look at him.
Leandro reached out, gently lifting her face.
Her makeup was still exquisite, bright and eye–catching, but her eyes were vacant.
In that moment, Leandro realized he was finally seeing the real Seraphina
She wasn’t crying, smiling, or putting on a show. She just looked at him expressionlessly, then brushed his hand away, “I need some alone time.”
With that, she got up and walked past him.
Leandro just stood there, silently watching her leave.
