Chapter 187

Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle at Keen’s nervous antics.

“Do you really need to be this wired?”

Keen was busy driving, and since Leandro wasn’t resting, he had no choice but to stay on his toes. He could hear Seraphina talking, but he didn’t bother to glance at her.

Traffic was a nightmare, and they didn’t manage to reach the Reynolds Group until after nine. Leandro and Yasmina were already in the conference room.

Keen opened Leandro’s office door for Seraphina and said, “You go in and wait for Mr. Reynolds. He’s been down with a fever for three days straight, and he’s refusing to take a break. If this keeps up, he’s going to run himself ragged”

“Your boss doesn’t strike me as someone who crumbles easily,” Seraphina replied nonchalantly

Keen was about to turn away but stopped at her words. He held the door that was slowly closing, looking at Seraphina. “You know, I’ve been with Mr. Reynolds for a long time, and I’ve never seen him sick. He usually seems invincible, but after returning from Velvetwood, he fell ill. He used to insist on never showing weakness, but now he seems to have let his guard down. This might just be the beginning”

Seraphina blinked, quietly taking in his words.

“You should know Mr. Reynolds better than I do,” said Keen, “and you know, he’s really hurting.”

Seraphina simply gave a small smile in response.

Keen left, and Seraphina walked over to Leandro’s desk

There were a few documents sprawled out for him to review: a half–eaten sandwich, an empty cup of black coffee, a glass of untouched water, and some untouched medicine.
