Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 374

Agency S was perfectly located, just a stone’s throw away from all sorts of restaurants downstairs. After consulting with Seraphina, Patrick decided to go to his regular restaurant.

Once they sat down, Seraphina handed the menu over to Patrick. Without much thought, he ordered two sets and shooed the waiter off. “We’ve got lobster and lamb chops here,” Seraphina said. “You ordered such a fancy meal for me, how much weight am I gonna gain?”

Patrick glanced at her, grinned, and said, “You’re so skinny, you could eat more.”

Seraphina raised an eyebrow. “Most men say that. But when a woman actually puts on weight, the result is usually being rejected.” Patrick chuckled, “I mean it, really.”

Seraphina took a sip of water, keeping her own counsel.

Then Patrick asked her why she was at Agency S.

“I asked a friend to dig up some info for me,” she responded.

“Dig up what? Need a hand?” asked Patrick.

Seraphina gave him a sidelong glance, smiling. “If you’re willing to help, that’d be great. But I don’t want to cause you any trouble.”

“No sweat,” Patrick said. “You’ve helped me out a lot before, I’ll help you. What’re you looking for?”

Seraphina looked at him calmly, slowly saying, “I want to find out about the women who were treated at Mercy LifeCare Hospital from April to July.” Patrick nodded and said, “It’s not easy, but I think I can help you.”

“You have got so many elite people working for you, it can’t be difficult.” Seraphina said, “I’ll leave it to you then.”

Patrick grinned, “I’d be happy to.”

Seraphina also grinned, then said, “Aren’t you gonna ask me why I’m looking for this?”

“You’re looking for it, you’ve got your reasons.” Patrick looked down, smiling before looking back up at her. “What I want to know is, why’d you come back to Starhaven on your own?”

Now that’s an interesting question.

Seraphina looked at him, slowly saying, “I came back to deal with my mom’s estate.”‘”

Patrick nodded, then asked, “Why didn’t Mr. Reynolds come with you?”

“He’s busy,” Seraphina said. “I can handle this little thing on my own.”

“When are you planning on going back?” Patrick asked.

Seraphina grinned, “Depends on when I get the information I need.”

Hearing this, Patrick smiled and said, “So should I hurry up and find the information you need, or should I slow down so you can spend more time hanging out with friends in this foreign land?”

Seraphina looked at him quietly for a while, then laughed, “I guess that’s up to you.”

Patrick smiled, “Alright, I’ll think about it.”

After lunch with Patrick, Seraphina went to meet other friends.

Although Patrick could help her find all the information, she didn’t dare trust him completely before she had a better understanding of the situation.

On the road, Abbot, who was in the passenger seat, kept stealing glances at Seraphina, looking like he had something to say but didn’t dare to speak up.

At first, Seraphina paid him no mind, but eventually she got fed up and glanced at him, “You don’t need to report this to your boss.”

“But ma’am…” Abbot cautiously said, “Patrick seems to have a thing for you.”

Seraphina laughed, “There are plenty of men who have a thing for me. If your boss gets jealous over every single one, he’d go insane.”

After hearing this, Abbot was speechless.

After the silence returned, Seraphina couldn’t help but think about her encounters with Patrick over the past couple of days.

She had been deliberately testing him, but he didn’t show any signs of weakness. Instead, he showed a confusing mix of genuine and fake interest in her, which even Abbot noticed.

For a moment, Seraphina was truly confused. What role was Patrick playing in this whole thing?

That day, Seraphina visited various places, networking. By the time she returned home in the evening, she was exhausted.

Lying on the couch, watching the clock strike eight, Seraphina picked up her tablet and video called Valerio.

Even though it was early, Valerio was already up, arranging his books and stationery in his room.

“You’re really disciplined at home,” Seraphina said. “Up so early.”

Valerio patted his chest, indicating he was a good, disciplined boy.

Seraphina laughed, then asked, “Where’s your dad?”

Valerio shrugged and spread his hands.

“He didn’t come home to sleep?” Seraphina asked, “You’re back, and he’s still staying at Reynolds Manor?”

Valerio nodded.

Seeing this, Seraphina sighed.

It had been a long time since Leandro and Valerio had been apart, and now that Valerio was back, Leandro was still staying at Reynolds Manor. It was clear that Gloria’s situation wasn’t very good.

Seraphina didn’t ask about Leandro anymore and chatted with Valerio for a bit. Then her phone rang. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seraphina glanced at the caller ID and quickly told Valerio, “Alright, you keep tidying up your stuff. I’ll call you back in a bit.”

After ending the video call, Seraphina immediately answered the phone.

It was Patrick.

“Seraphina, I’ve got the info you wanted. Should I bring it over, or do you wanna come over and take a look?”

Seraphina thought to herself, Patrick sure lives up to his name as a media mogul.

“Mr. Gray, are you in your office?” Seraphina asked, “I’ll come to you then.”

Half an hour later, Seraphina arrived at Patrick’s company.

Even at night, SpectrumMedia Innovations was still lit up. Seraphina went to the top floor and quickly entered Patrick’s office.

When she walked in, Patrick was on the phone. Seraphina quietly waved at him in greeting, then took a seat across his desk.

While still on the phone, Patrick passed her a file from his desk.

Seraphina took the file and immediately started reading.

The file contained the medical records of female patients from Sunburst City who had visited Mercy LifeCare Hospital between April and August. The number of records was in the dozens.

Seraphina quickly went through each page, but didn’t see any familiar names.

Just as she was about to start over and sift through the records more carefully, Patrick had hung up his phone and was looking at the file in her hands. He said, “I’m not sure who you’re looking for. But I’ve already sorted this list by age group. Each page represents a different age group, so it should be easier for you to look through.”

Seraphina took another glance, and quickly pulled out the page for the 20 to 30 age group.

There were 9 names on that page, but none of them were familiar to her.

However, among these unfamiliar names, there could very well be the person she was looking for.

“I’ve already had someone looking into these individuals’ detailed information,” Patrick said, “If all goes well, we should hear something by tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Seraphina slowly lifted her eyes to look at him. She was silent for a moment, then said, “So, you actually knew I was looking for a woman between the ages of 20 and 30?”
