Terrell is no dummy, he quickly picked up on the whole story. He eyed Seraphina, his voice chilling, “So that’s the way it is! I really underestimated you, I thought it was all about Leandro_*

Seraphina responded without hesitation, Leandro that was just a fluke”

“And what’s your excuse for putting me through all this?” Terrell asked angrily.

Seraphina looked at him, surprised. “Terrell, I just thought I might’ve dragged you into this, but if you’re going to put all the blame on me, I’m not having it.” Terrell glared at Seraphina for a moment, then turned and walked out to the balcony, lighting up a cigarette.

Seraphina returned to the dining table, checked on Valerio’s meal, then joined Terrell on the balcony after eating something herself.

Terrell’s cigarette was almost burnt out, his stress clearly showing.

Hearing Seraphina’s footsteps, he didn’t turn around, but after a while he asked, “What’s your interest in Balch?”
