Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 17

This was exactly what Seraphina wanted. They both left the private room, chatting as they walked.

“Working in showbiz is pretty rad. Lots of juicy gossip,” Seraphina said.

Una chuckled, “We can hang out more often, I’ve got tons of tea to spill!”

“Cool.” Seraphina nodded, then added, “I heard that apart from Leandro, Balch, another rich dude in Sunburst City, is also not too keen on the ladies. Is he also…”

“Balch? Wasn’t he just keeping away from women after losing his wife?” Una remembered something, “Oh, and there were rumors about him and Fidelia a few years back!”

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, “When did that happen?”

Una thought for a moment, “A long time ago, not long after his wife passed. But that rumor came outta nowhere. The word on the street was that Fidelia was just into Balch and wanted to marry into money. But Balch seemed really devoted to his wife. He owns an advertising agency, does a lot of business with us, but I’ve never heard of any other scandal about him except Fidelia…”

As Una was walking and talking, she was completely unaware of a man stealthily following them.

Seraphina noticed immediately, turned her head and saw the man with a messy hair, scruffy chin, swollen half–closed eyes, obviously eavesdropping.
