Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 349

That morning, Leandro came into the office at ten. Late again.

Keen didn’t show up until close to eleven.

When Yasmina saw him, she perked up. “Oh boy, you’re in for it now. Showing up this late. Mr. Reynolds being late is one thing, but you showing up even later?!”

“I had stuff to deal with!” Keen shot back, then asked, “Mr. Reynolds was late today?”

Yasmina nodded, then chuckled. “Based on past experience, Mr. Reynolds is usually in a good mood when he’s late.”

“You sure?”

“Absolutely.” Yasmina said. “Haven’t you noticed the atmosphere in the office today? It’s like a breath of fresh spring air.”

Hearing this, Keen sighed. “Well, that might change once I give my report.”

With that, he turned and knocked on Leandro’s office door.

Leandro was looking over some files. Keen took a deep breath, then stepped forward. “Mr. Reynolds, I’ve got some information on Bowen.”

Without looking up, Leandro simply said, “Spill.”

“Bowen was born in the northern district of Sunburst City in 1986. His biological parents were in the construction business, then started a small real estate company. In 2002, the company went bankrupt. They were drowning in debt. They couldn’t pay it off, so they both jumped off a building. Bowen got seriously sick that year and supposedly lost his memory when he woke up. He was then adopted by the Smith family.”

Hearing this, Leandro slowly looked up. “Why did his parents’ company go bankrupt?”
