Chapter 1154: Thought
Sienna lightly pursed her lips and said, "No need for that. I just feel that your mother-in-law is quite
something; she genuinely loves you!"
"Don't worry, your mother-in-law will be the same."
"Or should I give it a try? Let Rex beat me up, and then you tell my mother-in-law. What do you think?"
"Have you heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?" Camille asked indifferently, dispelling Sienna's
idea.
Sienna nodded obediently and said, "Alright, I get it."
The two continued shopping. When passing by a custom wedding dress shop, Sienna suddenly asked,
"When do you plan to have your wedding? With so much going on recently, and your grandfather still in
the hospital, even though your mother-in-law has been preparing for this, she can't handle it alone. You
also have no time. I guess we should postpone it. How about you and Rex? What are your thoughts?
You can't possibly wait until after we're done with our wedding, right?"
Camille looked at Sienna. She genuinely believed that Sienna and Rex got married for love, and she
hoped they would find time amidst their busy schedules to celebrate their love. Waiting too long might
cause the passion to fade. However, Camille didn't voice these thoughts. She wasn't sure if her
perspective was right, so she needed time to sort out her feelings. Perhaps, when her own wedding
with Ayan approached, she would start looking forward to it.
After shopping with Sienna, the two headed to the company. Together, they distributed the gifts to
everyone. The recipients were ecstatic, and Sienna and Camille received a lot of compliments.
Camille didn't want to take credit. She said, "Don't praise me. These gifts are from her. I just helped
pick them out. If you want to thank someone, thank her. Show your enthusiasm to her."
Getting Camille's hint, everyone showered Sienna with compliments. Some more daring ones couldn't
help but give her a hug. Of course, it was limited to the female colleagues. The male colleagues stood
in their places, applauding to express their gratitude. Crossing any boundaries tonight would likely
make them disappear from Hance City forever.
There was a quiet and serious woman in the finance department. She seldom spoke, but she was
exceptionally diligent. She was genuinely sincere to Camille and naturally to Sienna as well. In this
situation, she was moved and didn't know what to say. She finally uttered, "Miss King, I don't know how
to thank you. How about I introduce my brother to you? He's a graduate student, single, and very
devoted. I'm sure he will be loyal to you."
After the girl spoke, everyone exchanged glances. Camille was the first to react. She walked over to
the girl, raised her hand, and gently embraced her shoulders. She chuckled softly, "What are you
saying? Were you startled by the surprise? She's already married. Are you planning to make your
brother commit a crime?"
Camille's reminder made the girl realize her blunder. She tried to explain but didn't know what to say.
Everyone knew the girl and understood her personality, so they just smiled and didn't say much.
Sienna also joined the laughter, saying, "Thank you for your kindness. Your brother must be excellent.
However, I got married young, and if I ever get divorced, I'll be sure to ask you for an introduction,
okay?"
The girl was embarrassed, but Sienna didn't mind at all. She even thought there was nothing to be
embarrassed about. Sienna hugged the girl and said, "Don't be embarrassed. We're all on the same
boat. I appreciate your gesture, so don't be nervous. Everyone knows your character; there's no need
to feel awkward, okay?"novelbin
Sienna and Camille patiently reassured the girl, who soon felt more at ease. The atmosphere became
more harmonious and comfortable.
With the mood lightened, Camille suggested having dinner together in the evening. Since she and
Sienna might not be able to attend, Yessica would represent them. Camille offered to treat everyone,
and they could have whatever they wanted. After dinner, they could also go singing.
With such a fantastic boss, they felt fortunate to be part of this company. A place like this, where they
could work until retirement, was hard to find.
After chatting with the employees, Camille and Sienna left the company. As they got into the car,
Sienna's phone rang.
She picked up her phone, a habit of checking who was calling before answering. It was an unfamiliar
number from Hance City.
Without much thought, she pressed the answer button.
"Hello?" she said in a warm tone.
The next moment, a low and husky voice spoke, "It's me, Sienna."
Sienna's expression instantly darkened, especially the coldness in her eyes became exceptionally
chilling. Her already cool gaze narrowed slightly as she calmly asked, "Is there something you need?"
She recognized the voice even if it turned to ashes, so she didn't need any time to digest. She just tried
to maintain composure.
After her words, the man's voice spoke again, "Congratulations on making it to the preliminary round."
"Thank you," she replied indifferently.
He continued, "Sienna, is this the attitude you're going to have no matter what I say?"
"What attitude do you want me to have, Miss King? Can you directly state your purpose to me?" Sienna
used Mario's title in a distant and cold tone, setting a clear boundary and defining their relationship, as
if saying that between them, it was just that and nothing more.
Mario, being a smart person who understood Sienna very well, knew what was going through her mind.
However, he seemed either indifferent or unbothered at the moment. He chuckled lightly and said,
"Sienna, now you won't even call me 'brother'? Have you forgotten all the guidance and care I've given
you over the years?"
Mario's attitude was completely different from how he had treated Sienna in the past. Previously, he
was determined to assert his own opinions, even if it made Sienna uncomfortable. He would persist,
and even resort to threats to achieve his goals. However, his current demeanor conveyed no intention
of threatening Sienna. Instead, he spoke to her in a way that resembled a genuine elder brother?
This left Sienna utterly stunned, unsure of what to say.
Sienna instinctively glanced at Camille, her expression one of confusion. At this moment, her mind felt
like a mush, lacking any clarity.
What exactly did he mean? What did he want to do?
