Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 440

Patrick was also heading back to Sunburst City that day, not on the same flight as Andrea, but at a similar time. So, he sat down next to her and Seraphina and struck up a casual conversation.

Andrea, who called Patrick “uncle” out of domestic relation, wasn’t too familiar with him. They’d only exchanged brief hellos at some event they both attended by chance. So naturally, she didn’t have much to say to him. But Seraphina and Patrick were a different story. They gabbed about current events, buzzworthy news, and Patrick’s media empire, the conversation flowing like a river.

Andrea mostly stayed quiet, just listening from the sidelines.

It wasn’t until Patrick’s assistant came over to remind him it was time for security check that their engrossing chat came to a reluctant close. “Going through security with me, Andrea?” Patrick finally turned to her.

“No, thanks,” she replied. “I just got a text that my flight’s delayed. I’ll hang back a bit longer.”

“Alright then, Patrick said. “You two take it easy. I’m off.”

Seraphina waved with a grin, and Patrick flashed a brief smile before turning to leave. He paused, looking back at Seraphina, “Next time you’re in Sunburst City, let me take you out for dinner. Or if I’m in Summitville again and you’re still around, let’s grab a bite, yeah?”

“Sure thing,” Seraphina responded with easy confidence. “We’ll plan it out.”

With a nod and a more formal farewell, Patrick finally left. Seraphina let out a small sigh as she watched him go.

“What’s with the sigh?” Andrea asked, her tone light.

“I just missed out on a golden opportunity,” Seraphina replied. “He wanted me to work for him once, and I was quite tempted.”

“Why didn’t you?”

“Because he’s a legend,” Seraphina explained. “He’s got the Midas touch, and working for him would mean getting my hands on the most intriguing cases. Plus, he really trusts me. Imagine how fulfilling that job would be!”
