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?"

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?
