The Wrong Woman

Sienna made her way to Felix's room with the bags in her hands.

Daniel swapped his shoes for indoor slippers before stepping inside. He took in the surroundings of her home. Despite being slightly cramped and showing signs of wear, it was impeccably clean and tidy. The kitchen opened directly onto the dining area, adjacent to the living room. The modest couch in the living room could accommodate only three people comfortably.

An old-fashioned TV and a small refrigerator tucked into the corner added to the crowded feel of the layout. "Daniel's here?" Shelly appeared from the kitchen with dishes in hand, her face lit up with a warm smile.

She invited him inside enthusiastically, "Come, take a seat. I'll wrap up the last two dishes, and we'll be ready to eat."

Her cheerful greeting left Daniel pleasantly surprised. He asked politely, "Mrs. Lawson, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Don't worry about it. Just grab a seat, have some coffee, and catch up with Sienna. These kitchen chores are too small for you to bother with," Shelly said hurriedly.

Daniel was confused by Shelly's suggestion to catch up with Sienna. The unexpected warmth of the welcome caught him off guard.

Felix wasted no time inviting Daniel to sit on the living room couch and brew a cup of coffee for him. Then, Felix handed over the remote control, asking, "Would you like to watch TV?" "No, thank you." Daniel declined.

However, Felix turned on the TV anyway, out of habit. He switched it to the sports channel and remarked, "Sienna's always into dramas. When she's home, I never get to touch the remote." "It's part of her job." Daniel smiled gently.
