Chapter 101
Because Conway had a lot of tests to ruh, he stayed overnight at the hospital that night, and it was only natural for Seraphina to stay with him, hoping to get to know Lorenzo better
However, Conway seemed genuinely worried that she might stir up trouble, so he kept a close eye on her Plus, Lorenzo was too busy to show up all day, so Seraphina ended up being a full–time company for Conway.
The next morning when Leandro came to check the report, Seraphina, the full time companion, was still lying in the small bed in the partition
Conway had already risen for his morning regimen. As Leandro swung open the door, he was greeted by her slumbering figure, prompting him to cast a glance at Keen.
Understanding the situation, Keen promptly vacated the room
Only then did Leandro approach and peel back the blanket cocooning Seraphina
The room was comfortably cool, courtesy of the air conditioning As the blanket was lifted, she was jolted awake by the sudden change in temperature. Her eyes futtered open to find Leandro, and she grumbled slightly before wrapping her arms around his legs, then his waist, clinging to him like a koala
“Refrain from clinging” Leandro’s frosty voice echoed.
But Seraphina, a naturally affectionate girl, held onto him, adamant about not letting go, “I’m not fully awake yet… Why are you here so early? Can’t we snooze a bit longer?”
Suddenly, Leandro tilted her chin upward, his gaze penetrating her half awake expression, “Should you need me, I’ll be there for you”
Hearing this, Seraphina opened one eye to look at him, showing an expectant look, “Really?”
Leandro stared at her deeply without saying a word. The door to the roorn was suddenly pushed open again, and Lorenzo walked in.
Catching a glimpse of Lorenzo’s figure, Seraphina instantly woke up, immediately letting go of Leandro, even quickly fixing her hair, and regained her elegant demeanor in an instant, extending her hand to greet Lorenzo, ‘Morning Lary!”
Seeing the situation between the two, Lorenzo knew he came at the wrong time. Even if there was no emotion on Leandro’s face, he still sensed something and turned to leave, “I’ll come back later.”
“No” Seraphina quickly got up from the bed and went over to stop him, “Did grandpa’s test results come out? Let’s look at it together!”
Lorenzo was forcibly brought back, glanced at Leandro, and then handed over the report directly. “Although his old ailments are still there, his overall condition is much better than it has been in the past two months Judging from grandpa’s mood these past two days, he’s been in good spirits”
As soon as he finished speaking. Lorenzo looked at Seraphina, and Leandro lifted his eyes to glance at Seraphina as well
Seraphina was not modest. She patted her chest and said to Lorenzo with a smile, “This is my doing, compliment me!”
“I must say Ms. Bennett deserves a lot of credit” Lorenzo said, “If possible, I hope you can spend more time with grandpa
Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “Actually, if you want to see more of me, you don’t have to beat around the bush!”
After hearing this, there was no expression on Lorenzo’s face, but he glanced at Leandro
Because of his background, he was not close to Leandro. Most of the time their relationship was more like that of a doctor and a patient’s family, and their conversations revolved around their grandfather’s condition. So he didn’t know Leandro very well. But even without knowing him well, he could still understand a person’s character through daily interactions
So he was a bit puzzled at this moment. How could Leandro tolerate a woman like Seraphina?
Seraphina noticed his gaze and also looked at Leandro, she smirked and said. “Of course I’m willing to spend more time with grandpa, but whether I can actually do it or not. That’s not for me to decide…”
Seeing this, Lorenzo didn’t stay any longer, “I have to make my rounds in the ward, I’ll leave first.”
Seraphina waved goodbye to him reluctantly, then sat next to Leandro, “Your brother seems to like me quite a bit, huh? We haven’t known each other for long and he’s already suggesting that stay”
Leandro focused on the report in his hand and ignored her.
Seraphina looked up at him, “Even if it’s to take care of grandpa, Mr. Reynolds, you have no intention of letting me stay, right?”
Leandro closed the report in his hand and looked at her, “Don’t say such contrived things, and don’t always do weird things. It’s no use to me!
“Alright then Seraphina shrugged, “If that’s the case, I won’t insist, I won’t bother you anymore, okay?”
After saying this, she gathered her expression, pushed him away, and then walked into the bathroom.
Leandro put down the report in his hand, got up and left.
At noon, Seraphina took an hour to do an interview arranged by Bruce
Though the interview was brief, the issues addressed were of significance, marking Seraphina’s first responses. Consequently, the media promptly edited and aired the interview footage at eight o’clock that evening
Simultaneously, within the Reynolds Group, employees still engaged in overtime were just commencing their dinner.
Yasmina, stationed at her desk, sighed at her monotonous bento box. Upon stumbling upon Seraphina’s interview video, she instantly brightened, beckoning Keen to join her in watching it
In the footage, the reporter posed a question to Seraphina, “So, all the headline–grabbing news surrounding you and Balch was simply a part of your investigative process, Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
correct?‘
Seraphina offered the camera a composed smile, “Truthfully, you don’t require my affirmation for this. All I can express is my respect for and dedication to my profession.” The reporter then inquired, “So, has your investigation into this case influenced your relationship with Mr. Reynolds in any way? After all, your investigation involved substantial risks, resulting in a considerable societal uproar
In the video, Seraphina’s face suddenly livened up “About that, I need to clear the air. First off, I gotta apologize to Mr Reynolds, cause this whole thing has been casting a pretty dark cloud over him and his company, secondly, I gotta give a big thanks to Mr. Reynolds for his understanding and support. During my investigation, the guy really had my back, lastly, for the record, I’m still flying solo

“That’s just one of the ways Mr. Reynolds supported me. Seraphina replied with a smile, “Fact is, I’ve grown up with the Reynolds family. To me, Mr. Reynolds is like a big brother. Knowing about my
investigation, Mr. Reynolds backed me up without any reservations, and protected me in this way. He’s really been a stand–up bro So here, I gotta express my gratitude, thank you, my dear brother!”
Seraphina winked and smiled at the camera, leaving Yasmina completely stunned in front of the screen.
“Brother?” Yasmina turned to Keen, “You buyin‘ what she’s selling?”
Seeing Seraphina gave Keen a headache, “None of my business, no comment.”
Yasmina remembered what she saw in Leandro’s office that day and sneered, “As if I’d ever believe her!”
