Chapter 39 Enemies Met Again
Sienna knew how precious this job was.
After meeting Stanley in prison, she doubled her efforts, no matter how much time and energy it
cost her.
Even the other people at the law firm had to admit that although Sienna was inexperienced, she was a fast learner.
She could handle both big and small tasks with ease, which only intensified Mona’s sense of crisis.
It was clear to everyone that Sienna was brought in by Donald.
Even if they didn’t know how the two had met, Donald’s care for her was evident.
Whenever Donald came to the law firm, he would bring breakfast for Sienna, and he would also invite her to lunch.
If there were important clients or meetings, Donald would bring Sienna along, saying that it was an opportunity for her to learn.
Everyone would think that such special treatment for a mere assistant was due to Donald’s favoritism.
Sienna knew what people thought about her and the whispers behind her back.
She didn’t care about the criticism, as she had endured much worse in the past.
Adrian had already trampled her self-esteem, and now she had been reborn. She was no longer the naive girl who once loved Adrian.
Although Sienna had told Donald that she didn’t want any special treatment, he insisted, and she couldn’t dissuade him.
One day, as she was organizing files at the law firm, Donald approached and placed a note on her desk.
“There’s a party later. You’re coming with me. I’ve ordered an evening gown for you. Remember to pick it up”
Sienna looked at the store name and address written on the note. It was a high-end custom store she was familiar with.
Back when she was the young lady of the Mckinney family, she would occasionally visit the store; knowing how expensive it was.
At that time, she could choose any style without batting an eye, only caring about whether it was suitable, not the price.
Get Bort
However, Sienna needed to worry about her basic needs now, and she couldn’t keep staying at
Ellen’s house. She also had to save money for rent.
“Mr. Read.” Sienna stood up immediately, trying to return the note to Donald. “I can’t accept something so valuable.”
She already owed Donald too much, and although he hadn’t asked for repayment, it didn’t mean it
was forgiven.
She didn’t understand Donald’s intentions, so she always felt uneasy, and accepting anything made
her feel insecure.
“I’ve told you.” Donald just smiled and took his coat, turning to leave. “Accept what I give you. I
have my reasons.”
“Besides, you need to dress formally for formal occasions to maintain Read Law’s reputation.”
Reasons…
What kind of reasons could make Donald go to such lengths for her?
Sienna frowned, watching Donald leave the office, her doubts growing.
For the sake of the law firm, she didn’t want to wear her cheap dress again. After work, she went to the address Donald provided and entered the store.
As Sienna pushed open the door, she heard a very familiar voice.
“Does this style really suit me, Adrian? You better not be lying to me!”
Sienna paused for a moment, making eye contact with the two people inside, and immediately
wanted to leave.
Adrian and Janice were sitting in the store, with the shop assistant standing attentively by their side, explaining the latest fashion week items.
Sienna met her enemies again. Janice clenched her fists secretly, regretting impulsively inviting Adrian to accompany her to pick up her dress.
Adrian’s gaze was fixed on Sienna, but she pretended not to notice and turned to the shop assistant, saying, “Excuse me, I’m here to pick up some clothes.”
Sienna
gave her reservation information to the shop assistant and calmly walked to the side, sitting down to wait for her order.
She told herself to stay calm and pretend as if Adrian and Janice weren’t there.
If Sienna took them seriously, that was when she would truly lose.
Running away would be the most foolish thing to do, as it would only give them a reason to laugh at
her.
Suddenly, Sienna realized that she needed to live brilliantly, stand tall, and live a dignified life.
She wanted to prove to them that, after leaving the cage and him, she would live a better life. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Adrian’s face grew increasingly grim, especially after realizing that Sienna was completely ignoring him.
He saw Sienna receive her dress and turn to leave, and immediately stood up, angrily chasing after
her.
“Adrian!”
Janice was panicked. She hadn’t expected Adrian to have such a strong reaction.
Seeing Sienna was enough to make him lose control, even getting up to chase her.
Sienna had barely taken two steps out the door when Adrian caught up and grabbed her wrist.
“What are you doing?”
Sienna reflexively shook off Adrian’s hand, frowning and retreating two steps defensively. “Mr. Olson, your lover is still waiting for you inside the store. You don’t need to waste your time on an irrelevant person like me, do you?”
Sienna looked at Adrian with disgust, and her mind flashed with Stanley’s wrinkled face.
It was all because of Adrian that Stanley was wrongfully imprisoned and tortured, with no idea when he would be released.
“What am I doing?”
Adrian scoffed coldly, glancing at the bag in Sienna’s hand. “Why don’t you ask Mrs. Olson what you’re doing?”
“That dress you’re holding must be very expensive. Where did you get so much money?”
Adrian knew Sienna had studied design, so he cut off her opportunities and issued orders to various companies.
None of them were allowed to hire her, not even for administrative jobs.
Adrian just hadn’t expected Sienna to end up at Donald’s law firm and grow closer to Donald.
Adrian didn’t know why he had become like this. The anger in his heart was like an inexhaustible wildfire.
“Is it any of your business?”
Sienna rubbed her sore wrist, seemingly unwilling to engage with Adrian. “Don’t you think you’re being too nosy, Mr. Olson? Even caring about what I buy?”
She didn’t want to deal with him. The longer it took, the deeper her fear would grow.
She had an instinctive fear of Adrian, and overcoming it would take time to heal the wounds.
“Did Donald buy it for you?”
The more Sienna resisted, the angrier Adrian became. His insulting words flowed one after another. “Have you lost all your shame? Relying on another man to support you?”
Adrian’s words pierced Sienna’s heart, and without thinking, she raised her hand and slapped.
Adrian.
