Chapter 210

Seraphina tried several times to recall, but could not remember where she’d heard of this guy before. She reckoned it’s probably because she’d been not in a good life lately. Not working for a long time, her alertness and memory were declined

The brief chit-chat between Leandro and Patrick didn’t provide much information. All Seraphina could gather was that Patrick was also from Sunburst. City, but she had no clue why he’d been abroad for a few years and only just returned.

As they conversed, Seraphina stood quietly on the sidelines, all ears.

Leandro had always been aloof with people, and with this Patrick it was probably a meet-and-greet, so he ended the conversation without saying a word. Patrick looked at Seraphina and smiled. “Goodbye, Mrs. Reynolds.”

Seraphina responded with “Goodbye”

As Patrick moved on with his entourage, Seraphina, arm in arm with Leandro, took a few steps before stealing a glance back.

The guy looked solid, but those eyes were sharp as a tack, revealing a crafty and calculating mind.

Two seemingly contradictory traits, yet they gelled together just fine on him.

Curiosity piqued, Seraphina couldn’t help but ask Leandro, “Whos this Patrick dude? I’ve never heard of him before”

“He’s a nobody,” Leandro shrugged.

Seraphina rolled her eyes. In Leandro’s world, hardly anyone mattered.

With that thought, she stopped asking Leandro.

The next day, Leandro was back in the grind at work, while Seraphina got back in the swing of things with her art exhibition.

At noon, Sandra, who had stood her up the day before, came by

Seraphina was in the thick of cataloging all the artworks, looking focused, feeling busy but fulfilled.

The gallery was still closed to the public, with only staff coming and going, so there were no restrictions. Sandra watched Seraphina from the open doorway for a while before Seraphina noticed her. After a quick glance, she rolled her eyes again.

Only then did Sandra walk in and take a seat across the desk.

Ignoring her, Seraphina finally broke the silence after a while. “You look good, Sera.”
