Roman scowled at her, standing up, looking furious. “Are you trying to threaten me?” He fumed. Sienna glanced at him warily.
“No, I’m just telling you my plans. Are you feeling threatened?” She asked.
Roman sat down seeing that she wasn’t at all affected by his demeanor. “Why should I feel threatened? You’re the one who should feel that way. The last few months, I have invested repeatedly to save this dying company but it’s of no use. There is no other way than to sell it off,” He said with a poker expression on his face. Sienna gaped at him with shock. So Jenny was right after all. He was planning to sell off her dad’s business without consulting her.
“You should have consulted me before making this decision, Roman? When dad was ali
“I don’t believe this!” said Eva, opening her handbag and taking out a newspaper. “Check the gossip column,” she told her. Sienna took the paper from her hands and opened the gossip column. Eva pointed at an article at the bottom of the page. Sienna froze, horrified at what she saw. There was a picture of her and Lucas, kissing on the shores of Mirror Lake! The caption read,The elusive Lucas Donnelly packs on the PDA during a low-key holiday with a bombshell! Has he moved on?Sienna’s mouth hung open and no words came out of it. When was this picture taken? She and Lucas had no idea about it. Or did Lucas know about this? Was this the reason why he left New York all of a sudden? Suddenly, her heart sank at the thought.“There’s more. Search for Celebrity News
Sienna stood transfixed to the spot. Should she leave but what if these two were fraud people? “I don’t believe you. I’m not going anywhere till Lucas returns,” said Sienna. The woman laughed tauntingly. She took out an identity card as well as a marriage certificate from her handbag and flashed it in front of her. Sienna gaped at the marriage certificate. She was indeed Lucas’s wife, that she was certain of. Then the woman took out her mobile and scrolled through the numbers.“I’m calling the cops if you don’t vacate this apartment in the next fifteen minutes,” she threatened menacingly. Sienna didn’t have time to think. She ran to her bedroom to pack up. Her heart was shattered into a million pieces knowing that Lucas was married and a father as well. Why didn’t he ever tell her? Why did he use her? She somehow dumped her stuff as qu
She wrote in her resignation letter the exact cause that was compelling her to resign. Bullying! She named the nurses who directly bullied her as well as the treatment that she’d been receiving from the others. She sent the mail to the authorities, to multiple people so that some action is taken against them. Later she rested her tired head and fell asleep. The sound of the doorbell woke her up and she went to open the door. It was Mrs. Smith, carrying lots of essentials in her hands.“You would need these if you’re planning to stay here for at least a week,” said Mrs. Smith, coming inside with the stuff.“Thank you, Nana. I definitely would stay here as long as I’m alive. Where else would I go?” she said, giving her a sad smile.“Oh, you never know, dear.
The next day Sienna had just finished her breakfast when Roman arrived early to collect the signed agreement. “Have you signed it?” He asked hopefully.“Yes,” said Sienna, handing him the papers. Roman checked them and looked quite pleased. He took out a bunch of papers and handed them to her.“This is the proof of the amount that I have invested in this company. You can sum it all up and figure out how much you need to pay me,” said Roman.Sienna took the papers and glanced through them. “I’ll consult a lawyer first,” she told him. Roman shrugged. “Do what you want. Here are the keys to the office, to my desk and to everything else. Figure it out on your own just like I had. I’ll see you after a month. I’m leaving for Chicago tonight,&rdq
Thankfully Mary Jane Davis was available and willing to rejoin her old work at Accord Bioscience. Sienna immediately summoned her to the office and then started thinking how she would throw Bettie Kingston out without causing a headache. She summoned her immediately to ask for an update on the meeting that she had called. It’s supposed to start in the next fifteen minutes and she had no update on what was going on!Bettie Kingston grimaced and walked towards her new boss's office. She hated this job now that Roman wasn’t there. With him, it was less work and more fun as he was a passionate and demanding man always ready to do the dirty deed! If he hadn’t requested her to stay back and report everything that Sienna Hensley did, she would have resigned already.The moment she entered the office, Sienna asked her about the meeting. “H
Just as planned, Sienna was extremely focused on the job at hand for the next few days. Roman had dissolved the Research Team that her dad had chosen and therefore she needed to summon them back. The research was a part and parcel of a pharmaceutical company contrary to Roman's thinking. With the old Manufacturing Team back, her only concern now was the Finance Department Head. She appointed a new Finance Department Head as their old trusted employee, James Price wasn’t available. However, Mr. Price was willing to help her out by giving her consultation if she needed it. Sienna agreed and invited him to the office over the weekend. With constant monitoring, Sienna was able to chalk out a plan of action to save the company, and the next few days she dedicatedly worked towards that goal.Ben on the other hand was very worried to hear from the guard the next day about Kim’s arrival and Sienn
Lucas wasted no time after gaining custody of his daughter. He took the first available flight after completing all the formalities. When they reached New York, it was well past dinnertime. Lucas took Alexia straight to his granny’s house. Everyone was overwhelmed to see her after so many years. Alexia in fact looked the happiest. Lucas spent the night with her in his old, childhood room.The next day was a Saturday and Sienna rushed to her office. She had summoned James Price to discuss Roman’s documents as well as the company’s financial conditions. It had been a very busy week for her but she knew she had to figure this out on her own. She sat sipping coffee and flicked through the newspaper while waiting for James Price. It was then that her glance fell upon an article in the gossip column. A picture of Lucas hugging a little girl caught her eye. Lucas looked so happy as if he h
Lucas drove to the address that Eva sent him. He saw the huge mansion that seemed to have seen better days. The entire place looked neglected and ill-maintained. He parked his car and got down, walking up towards the heavy iron gate. There were no security guards to open the door. He opened the gate and walked in, shaking his head at Sienna’s negligence. She should have locked the gate if she were living alone in such a huge place.He walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell. Strangely no one opened the door. He rang the doorbell again and waited. What was going on? Wasn’t Sienna there at home? He waited for a few more minutes and then decided to take a stroll around the house to see if he could find Sienna at any window. Walking around, he saw the sprawling, ill-kept backyard. The sound of a splash made him go further down to get a full view of the huge swimming pool. Then he sa
