Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 148

The banquet held by the Chamber of Commerce in Sunburst City was a grand affair, taking place in a private villa in the southern part of the city. The attendees were all big shots in the business world of Sunburst City, with luxury cars and beautiful ladies arriving in droves for the grand gathering

When Seraphina made her entrance with Leandro, it stirred up a lot of attention. First off, Leandro himself was a sight to behold. Secondly, the tabloids had been having a field day with her and Balch Lawson, Leandro’s recent scandal, so many people recognized her.

Seraphina took all the attention in stride, following behind Leandro. While she was conspicuous, she didn’t talk much, her quiet intelligence drawing many people to strike up conversation with her.

She kept her personality on a tight leash, interacting with the guests with grace and charm, her smiles and conversation calculated, with no extraneous expressions or movements.

Keen, watching from the sidelines, was taken aback – how does she transfer from a wild child to ladylike just like that?

Leandro, however, didn’t show Seraphina any extra attention, even though she was standing right beside him, he didn’t glance her way.

Seraphina didn’t mind, still trying her best to play the perfect partner.

When Leandro took the stage to speak, all the guests gathered before the stage to listen attentively, while Seraphina and Keen stood to the side waiting, affording her a moment of leisure

Looking at the composed and confident Leandro on stage, Seraphina suddenly said, “Your boss sure is cool as a cucumber, isn’t he?”

“Mr. Reynolds has always been like that, Keen replied.

Always like that, huh? Seraphina cracked a smile.

At least seven years ago, Leandro wasn’t like this.

She didn’t know if the Leandro she knew seven years ago was the real Leandro, but even if that Leandro was a masquerading rich kid, he was definitely different from the Leandro now.

So, the Leandro now needed a wife who was obedient and followed him without question?
