Julia was unconvinced. She refused to display her weaknesses and answered defiantly, “Of course. Do you think I need you to educate me on how my family gets things done?”“You'd better be. We'll leave Adak tomorrow. I hope your company can carry out the promise by today. The Kanes might not be able to maintain your false reputation if that happens,” Sienna said with a gentle smile. Her clear and beautiful eyes made her look innocent and harmless.Julia shuddered abruptly.Flora saw that Sienna had Julia under control with only a few words. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes and chided in a high-pitched voice, “Sienna, what are you so proud of? What difference does it make if you make the largest contribution to the free clinic? You will be the only one to receive zero marks on the project; the rest of us will all receive full marks!”Sienna shook her head. She looked at Flora, as if she was looking at a fool. There were traces of compassion in her eyes.Flora was dumbfounded. She
Harry just casually instructed Kai to look for the herbs, but he didn’t tell him the rest. Kai dared not ask Harry about the details. He finally found the opportunity to have some alone time with Sienna, so he wanted to get an answer from her.Sienna raised one of her eyebrows as she replied leisurely, “I assured him that he would live as long as I’m around, even if he couldn’t locate all the herbs.”The girl that stood in front of him explained with a gentle tone. She sounded casual. It gave Kai a rather thrilling feeling. He believed Sienna was capable of putting her words into action!Kai quickly bowed to Sienna, but this time, he treated her with even greater respect. His respect came from the bottom of his heart. He said, “Thank you, Young Mistress!”Anyone that could save his boss would be his benefactor! From now on, he would never have any dissatisfaction with her or doubts about her! He addressed her as “Young Mistress” from the bottom of his heart!Sienna didn’t bother w
After several hours of travel, the car stopped at Lang Garden’s entrance.Kai opened the car door and said respectfully, “Master Harry, Young Mistress, we have arrived.”“I’ll go home for now. I’ll go to your place for your treatment in the evening.” Sienna took the first move after stating that. She got out of the car and made her way to Lang Garden.Surprisingly, Harry also headed in the same direction.Sienna glanced at him suspiciously. Harry raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his lips, saying, “We can walk together. Our house is in the same direction anyway.”‘My gate is over here, and his gate is on the other side. How are the two of us heading in the same direction?’Sienna was about to say something, but she was dumbfounded the moment she stepped into the villa.The wall which used to separate the villas had been taken down. Two living rooms had been combined into one, and it had doubled in size! In addition, changes had been made to the decor and layout. It a
Bona had never asked about Sienna’s plans or where she was going. She only knew that she would carry out everything Sienna asked of her. She would wait patiently for her instructions at home if she couldn’t do anything to help.When Sienna went downstairs, Kai saw her. He asked respectfully, “Young Mistress, are you going out? Let me drive you.”“I’m good.” Sienna found a random excuse. “I just want to buy something.”As Sienna realized how difficult it was for her to get around without a car, she left the property to call a cab. She instantly dismissed the idea of buying a car when she realized she only had 2,000 dollars left in her purse.She rode in the cab and arrived at the city’s busiest streets. After she casually made a few purchases at a few stores, she then proceeded slowly in the direction of one of the alleys while appearing to be strolling casually.She swiftly entered the alley and located the house number listed by her grandmother once she was certain that no one wa
Sienna said, “I know who you are.”She knew who he was the moment she saw him. She was the one who had named him Orpheus. His appearance was painted by her.It happened when she was a young girl. Her grandmother caressed her hair and asked, “What kind of gift do you want to receive for your birthday, Nene?”“I want a handsome big brother who can help me fight and win battles,” she replied. Then, she held the random picture she drew and showed it to her grandmother. She smiled innocently, “Someone like this! I want to give him a name too! I will call him Orpheus!”“What a lovely name! This is an amazing painting too.” Rosalind chuckled. She said in a kind and benevolent tone, “As long as it’s something you want, I will try my best to fulfill your wish!”The Langs never broke their promises. Even if it was merely a kid’s joke, as long as she told her family, they would put forth a lot of effort to grant her wishes. She had finally received her gift after ten years of delay.Sienna
‘Nanna should have perfected everything.’Orpheus explained, “Because I wouldn't meet other people in the lab.”Sienna understood what he meant. She felt a little sorry for him. He wouldn’t interact with anyone else in the lab, so turning on his respiratory system wasn’t necessary as he didn’t have to pretend to be an actual human being. He had spent a long time by himself in this desolate and freezing lab. How lonely had he been?“It’s okay,” Sienna murmured while she perched on tiptoe and petted Orpheus’s head. She made him a promise. “I have found you now. I’ll make sure you’re not alone in the future.”Orpheus was startled. His program told him that he wasn’t a human, yet Sienna told him that she wouldn’t let him feel lonely again. Her words were beyond his cognition, and he didn’t understand what she meant. Even so, Orpheus still nodded and let out a tender smile. He replied, “I will do as you say, Miss Sienna.”Looking at her watch, Sienna saw that she had unknowingly spen
Sienna arrived at the hotel. She opened the car door and got out of the cab after paying the driver and thanking him for his assistance.A dozen strong men were gathered at the hotel’s entrance. They remained beneath the shadow since the tree shade had obscured the street lights above their heads. They gave off the vibe of being warriors. There was a strong murderous aura about them; it caused the passers-by to take a detour.Sienna approached them unhurriedly.Hunter kept looking at the girl as she slowly approached them. His initially calm face developed a hint of excitement. His eyes were a little bit red. He clenched his fists firmly, since he had exhausted all methods to control his feelings. The rest of the companions who stood around him all attempted to take a good look at Sienna.“Is that girl our boss?”“She looks like our boss, yet a little different.” Hunter wasn’t sure.Sienna stood before them. She chuckled and said, “Do you need me to kick you all in the *ss so tha
Sienna waved her hand. She turned around and cast her gaze toward the side before saying, “Okay, we can keep in touch by phone. By the way, keep a low profile and don’t start a fight without a good reason. We don’t want other people to recognize us. Understand?”“Yes, Ma’am!” After Hunter and his men had calmed down, they headed in the direction of the hotel right away.There was no one around. No one heard or saw their movements under the shadow of the tree. However, there was CCTV above their heads. When Sienna passed by the camera, she took off the signal stopper, which was attached to the camera.She had taken this device from the laboratory. It was incredibly helpful; as soon as she turned it on, the recorder or camera would immediately stop working. Sienna put the signal stopper back in her pocket. Then, she took the cab and headed back to Lang Garden.By the time Sienna got home, it was 8.30 PM. She placed the things she bought in the foyer, then she changed into the house s
