Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 33

After scarfing down her food, Seraphina quickly tidied up, opened the door, and was about to dump the trash just outside when she saw Keen coming

back with Valerio.

The moment Valerio saw Seraphina opening the door, he dashed into the house as if worried he’d be taken away.

Watching this, Seraphina shot a helpless look at the man before her, “Is your boss out of his mind or what?”

Keen smiled at her, “What do you mean?”

He clearly doesn’t like how I take care of his kid, yet he still leaves the kid with me, if that’s not nuts then what is?” Seraphina, leaning against the door with her arms crossed, rolled her eyes.

Keen still smiling, said, “Mr. Reynolds is really busy.” He checked his watch and added, “He’s already back at the office, having a meeting with the folks from Starhaven.”

Seraphina snorted.

Keen continued, “To Mr. Reynolds, apart from Valerio, work is the most important thing. Now that he can’t juggle both, with Ms. Bennett’s help, Mr. Reynolds should be able to focus on his work.”

Seraphina watched him for a while before bursting into laughter, “Mr. Keen, you really have a way with words, no wonder you’re Mr. Reynolds‘ assistant.”

Just as Keen was about to say something more, Seraphina had already turned around, walked back into the house, and shut the door.

Keen touched his nose and chuckled.

By the time Keen got back to the office, thirty minutes had passed, and the meeting led by Leandro with the executives from foreign country Starhaven, had been going on for over an hour.

So, he wasn’t in a hurry to join the meeting and instead sauntered into the pantry.

Not two minutes later, Leandro’s secretary, Yasmina, hurried into the pantry. Seeing Keen, she heaved a sigh of relief, “You’re finally back.”

“What’s up?” Keen asked, holding his coffee. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

As she prepared her own coffee, Yasmina replied, “Where did Mr. Reynolds go before the meeting? He seems a bit off since he came back.”

Keen nonchalantly replied, “Nowhere special, just went to see his son.”

“That can’t be right!” Yasmina looked puzzled, “You don’t know how he’s been acting in the meeting. Every time the execs from Starhaven raise a point, he shoots it down. I swear the people on the other end of the video are about to cry.”

“Mr. Reynolds always has high standards, you know that.”

“Of course, I do.” Yasmina said as she finished making her coffee, “But today he’s different. Even though he seems the same, I have this gut feeling that something’s off.”

After saying this, she didn’t wait for Keen to respond and hurried off with a few cups of coffee.

Keen leaned against the table, listening to Yasmina’s unusually flustered footsteps, touching the bottom of his cup in thought.

What could be different?

An image of Seraphina’s mischievous face suddenly flashed across Keen’s mind, and he had a sudden realization.

Could he be sexually frustrated?

After getting Leandro’s bank card, Seraphina got more comfortable with Valerio. She gradually adapted to this lifestyle, even borrowed a car from Sandra to drop off and pick up Valerio from school every day.

One afternoon, while she was driving with Valerio in a slow–moving traffic during peak hours, discussing with the shy boy in the back seat what they should have for dinner, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the car.

Scared, Seraphina hit the brakes hard. The person quickly looked back. That glance made both of them freeze.

Then, the person walked to Seraphina’s car, swiftly opened the passenger door, and got in.
