Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 454

“Seriously, does it matter who told me?” Leandro drawled, a faint hint of fondness lacing his tone

“Of course, it matters,” Seraphina shot back, crossing her arms. “I suspect the person who’s been whispering in your ear might be a bit hard of hearing. Probably got the whole thing twisted.”

“Oh.” Leandro’s voice lifted in mock surprise. “So, you’re suggesting I should continue to manage Reynolds Group??”

Seraphina’s brows knitted together before she softened, adding, “If you have enough energy to do it, go ahead. Can I really stop you?”

“Alright, then. About Keen-” Leandro began, but before he could finish, a wince tightened his features, and he shut his eyes, inhaling deeply.

Seraphina’s face flickered with concern as she rose to her feet. “Is it the wound?”

It took a moment before Leandro composed himself, his face paler than before.

Watching him intently, Seraphina sighed as Leandro breathed out slowly and murmured, “I’m fine.”

Her gaze shifted to the pain pump beside his hand. “Is that thing not doing its job? Or maybe the dosage is too low? Should I call the doc to up your pain meds?”

Seraphina gave him a stern look, but seeing him gradually relax, she finally relented, “You still up for work? Want me to get Keen in here?”

“It’s not out of the question,” Leandro admitted.

Hearing that, Seraphina reached out and gave his good arm a playful twist.

“Hmm?” Leandro raised an eyebrow at her.

After a moment of silent confrontation, Seraphina let out a huff and said simply, “No way.”

A low chuckle escaped Leandro, and he finally conceded with a single word, “Fine.”
