Chapter 49
Seraphina just suffered from a couple of scratches and a mild co ssion, and she was back on her feet two days later
After being discharged, she went straight back to decorating her new pad hand picking everything from the couch to the light bulbs.
She was always around the new neighbourhood and pretty noon, she knew the who’s who around the block, who lived where, and whatnot
One day, Seraphina stepped into the apartment building and was waiting for the elevator when she heard the click clack of lagh heels behind her
Engrossed in some fresh off the press news on her phone, Seraphina was interrupted by a soft voice ‘Ms. Bennett, hello there”
The voice was unfamiliar She turned around to see a long haired woman lading behind a pair of sunglasses.
Georgina, the international star, known for her killer looks and sexy vibe, was also the chick who had supposedly caused Leandro to storm out.
Putting her phone away. Seraphina responded with a grin, “Ms. Georgina, you know me?”
“Ms Bennett, you’re the talk of the town in Sunburst City How could I not?” Georgina took off her sunglasses and looked at Seraphina, “Who knew we were neighbours? Let’s look out for each other, yeali?”
“Those words should be mine I just moved in. I’ll be needing your guidance, Ms. Georgina Seraphina said sincerely.
Georgina instantly regretted coming home without makeup. The woman in front of her was already a knockout, but with her makeup game on point, she was positively radiant, even outshining a big star like Georgina
Georgina put her sunglasses back on just as the elevator doors opened, and they both stepped in.
After pressing their respective floor buttons, Georgina broke the silence, “You’re quite chummy with Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Lawson, huh?”
Watching the floors light up one by one, Seraphina chuckled, “I’m pretty light with Mr. Lawson.”
Georgina didn’t probe further when Seraphina conveniently skipped over Leandro. “So, Mr. Lawson might become one of us soon?”
“I sure hope so!” Seraphina responded candidly.
Georgina laughed as the elevator doors opened. She stepped out and turned to Seraphina, “Hope to see you around”
Seraphina nodded and waved
In the evening, Seraphina had arranged to meet Balch, who showed up on time.
Thanks to Seraphina’s efforts, the place was starting to feel like home, complete with all the necessary furnishings.
This was Balch’s first visit since the place was done up. As Seraphina closed the door behind him, she asked, “What do you think, Mr. Lawson?”
The style was completely different from his own villa and didn’t match his personal vibe at all. But strangely, he found it pleasing.
“We’re missing a floor lamp” Balch evaluated.
Seraphina moved towards the kitchen, I already ordered it, but it won’t be here for another three days.”
Balch watched Seraphina’s retreating figure and approached the kitchen counter, “Are you cooking?”
Seraphina brought out two plates and shot him a look, “I just got out of the hospital. I don’t fancy a second trip because of food poisoning.”
The food was takeout, which Balch wasn’t a big fan of. But the wine was good, and he had quite a bit.
After dinner, Balch chilled on the couch while Seraphina cleaned up in the kitchen and then joined him in the living room.
“I got a DVD Wanna watch it with me?” Seraphina pulled out a movie disc from the TV cabinet.
Balch nodded, and Seraphina popped the disc into the player.
Turning around, she saw Balch comfortably seated on the couch, patting the spot next to him for her to sit.
Seraphina walked over and sat down next to him.
