The Wrong Woman

Florence warmly greeted Sienna, expressing genuine concern and asking how she had been lately. When she found out Sienna was looking for Daniel, Florence happily sent him a message. "Sienna's here to see you. Finish up and head home soon."

Upon getting Florence's message, Daniel quickly put aside his work and sped home. The hurried slam of the door and his quick footsteps made quite a stir.

Sienna and Florence turned to see who had just come in.

Daniel was slightly out of breath. He looked at Sienna with a blend of nerves and concern in his eyes.

Florence smiled and said, "Daniel's back. You two catch up. I'll go tend to my flowers in the greenhouse."

She tactfully excused herself, leaving them alone in the living room.

Sienna stood up, offering a polite nod of greeting.

"You wanted to talk to me?" Daniel walked over, setting his car keys on the coffee table before settling into the armchair beside Sienna.

Sienna settled into her seat as well. Memories of Daniel forcefully kissing her at the wedding flashed through her mind. Her cheeks flushed, and she felt anxious. "Yes, I need to talk to you about something." "Is it about the lawsuit?" Daniel asked, his concern evident.

Sienna nodded. "Yeah, Wanda's still on her honeymoon, and I don't want to bother her. Could you help me find a network engineer? I'll cover the cost. They won't be working for free."
