Bowen, who was watching the scene, let out a chuckle

Seraphina then introduced Bowen to Leandro, saying. “This is Mr. Smith”

Leandro first glanced at Seraphina, then turned to Bowen slow and steady “Hello, Bowen Smith.”

Clearly, Bowen and Leandro didn’t run in the same circles. When he heard Leandro call him by his full name, he looked rather taken aback but quickly brushed it off, extending his hand with a grin and saying, “Hello, Mr. Reynolds,”

Leandro shook hands with him, then asked, “Did you come alone, Mr. Smith

“Nope.” Bowen chuckled right away. “My dates over there Sera, Il leave you be with Mr. Reynolds.”

Seraphina responded with a smile

Bowen headed off, and Seraphina turned to Leandro and said, “Fancy these kinds of events much, Mr. Reynolds?”

Leandro looked at her and answered, “Not really”

Seraphina found this quite amusing.
