Chapter b355 /b

Looking at the bwoman /bon the bed, he was struck by how much bshe /bresembled her sister. Especially the eyes.

Their expressions were different, though. This one had a dangerous glint in her eyes, a survivor. Sienna was colder, more aloof, as if the world was beneath her.

“Let me go.” Winifred said, her voiceced with disgust when she bsaw /bit was him

Fay sat down, his face a nk mask, but his eyes greedily traced the exquisite lines of her face.

Winifred felt ba /bchill run down her spine as his gaze crawled over bher/b.

“Let me go, she repeated.

Fay let out ba /bcoldugh and leaned in close. “Let’s start with introductions. You seem to care a lot about the person in my bphoto/b. Tell me, what’s your rtionship with her?”

Winifred turned her head away. I don’t know her.”

He had expected as much. bFay /bknew she wouldn’t

‘t reveal her identity so

so easily.

“That’s a shame. I was thinking, if byou /bknew the person in the photo, I might do her a favor and let you go. But I guess not. Your motives are questionable, so I’ll have to take you back to headquarters” Fay said.

“Your” Winifred’s voice trembled with anger.

Winifred knew he was trying to

was trying tomer her, to force her to badmit /bher connection to Sienna.

“I told you, I don’t know her. It was dark. I made a mistake. Winifred said.

?

A knowing smile yed on Fay’s lips. “Get some sleep, We’ll be shipping byou /boff this ind tomorrow.

Winifred shot him a venomous re. I have to escape, she thought frantically.

‘He definitely knows my sister. He’ll buse /bme against her, and I’ll be a liability.

Sienna emerged from her room, wearing nothing but a silk robe that softened her busual /bsharp edges. Her long hair cascaded down her back and the hem of the robe offered tantalizing glimpses of her long legs.

Lana”

“Boss” Lana and Reno immediately lowered their heads.

“I heard Winifred is missing. What happened?” Sienna asked

Reno stepped forward to report. “Boss, Miss Winifred left the country three days ago. Our people were protecting her covertly, but she shook them off after arriving in Meridia. Now…”

Sienna’s voice was clipped. “Where did she disappear?”

Renu replied, “A small alley. We found bodies there, and after examination, it seems Miss Winifred was responsible. The men belonged. to Donald bDavies/b. bDavies /bwas killedst night bon /bban /bind bin /bEastria, where he had a factory. He bwas /bsupposed to be bmeeting /bbwith /bFay bst /bnight to discuss a partnership.”

Lana added. “Boss, I’ve already contacted Fay and told bhim Miss /bWinifred is likely on that ind. He’s sent people bto /bbsearch /bfor her.”

enna’s cool gaze settled bon /bthem. “Tell Fay he bhas /bthree hours to find her.

Sienna knew Winifred had her own secrets and ambitions, and she didn’t interfere. But if anyone was stupid enough toy a hand on her, they’d pay with their life.

10:26 AM

“You’re both dismissed, Lana, bsend /ba message to those old fossils in the Noir family. If they get any more funny ideasb, /btie up their children and grandchildren and toss them in the ocean.” Sienna said.

“Yes, boss.” Lana and Reno repiled.

Just as they left, bJulian /buntied his apron and brought thest dish to the table

“Dinner’s ready. Let’s eat.”

Juhan came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her bwaist /bbefore pulling out her chair.

“Mm. Sienna replied.

Julian watched her expression closely, ready to spot any hint of displeasure with bhis /bcooking.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Sienna asked, looking up from her chicken soup at the man who was watching her intently.

A gentle smile touched Julian’s lips, his eyes full of affection. “You look beautiful”

Sienna blushed and choked on her soup.

Julian quickly moved to pat her on the back. Easy there.”

She was flustered. It was like Julian had be a different person, constantly saying these embarrassing, heart–pounding things.

Just eat. Didn’t you have other business in Meridia? You don’t have to stay with me, go handle your own work,” Sienna said, trying to change the subject.

Tm not going.” he bsaid/b. “TE1 have to worry about the little things, what’s the point of having them? I just bwant /bto be bwith /byou.”

Julian leaned in and ced a soft kiss on her forehead, his voice a low murmur. “I only want to be with you.”

Sienna pushed him away gently, the tips of her ears turning red.

Julian, you stop saying things like that. Someone might hear”

was the only protest she could muster.

His hand found hers, his fingers yfully intertwining with hers. “Alright,” he murmured. Til only say it when they can’t hear. Like right

now

Sienna fell silent. He was so clingy.

As night fell.

Later, after Sienna had showered, she found Julian sprawledzilya

y on her bed, his robe hanging open bas /bhe read a book, one long leg stretched out

Sienna froze.

Seeing her. Julian set his book aside. “Let me dry your hair.”

“No, that’s okay. Sienna refused.

His robe was barely hanging on, revealing a sculpted chest and bthe /bdefined lines of his abs. Sienna wasn’t sure if he was doing it on purpose or was just boblivious /b

Her eyes drifted to his body, and her mind shed back to the events ofst night.

She cleared her bthroat /bto hide her sudden panic.

“It’ste. You should go back to your own broom/bb. /bSienna said.

Julian moved clover, pulling her bto /bsit down and picking up the luir dryer. “I want to bsleep /bwith you, he told her, his voice direct.

10:26 AM c

Sienna’s eyes widened.

“No” She pushed his hand baway/b,

His expression fell, his eyshes bfluttering /bas he looked at her with a hint of hurt. “No? Well, at least let me dry byour /bhair. You’ll catch a cold.”

Sienna wanted to argue, but the warm air was already rustling through her hair, so she swallowed her words,

Once her hair was dry, Julian found some hair oil bon /bthe bvanity/b, warming it between his palms before running it through her hair.

He looked down at the bwoman /bbefore him, at her wless skin band /bbeautiful face, Julian’s eyes darkened, but he continued his task.

“Let me give you a shoulder rub,” he offered. his handsnding on her shoulders.

The pressure was perfect, not too hard and not too soft, and Sienna closed her eyes, enjoying the bsensation/b.

She was just starting to rx when the sound of him swallowing hard reached her ears.

She snapped her eyes open to see him staring at her, his gaze raw bwith /bdesire. His breathing was heavy, and a thin sheen of sweat coated his abs

His deep eyes held a storm of emotions–longing, adoration, lust…

Sienna’s mind went nk for a second before rity hit her. She shot to her feet. “You… it’s gettingte. You should go.”

“Sienna, I know some massage techniques. Let me…“–

She pulled away as if she’d been zapped, refusing firmly, “I don’t need it”

Massage techniques!‘ she thought. Yeah, right. She wasn’t some naive teenager who would fall for that line.

His intentions were written all over his bface/b.
