Chapter 184
Miles adjusted his glasses and smiled. “No need to worry, Mr. Sinclair. I’ve already sent someone over. Miss Enna, why don’t we head upstairs and sample tonight’s menu! I heard the chef is from Meridia.”
“Sure,” Sienna nodded. Looks like that little rascal Amber ran upstairs too, she thought.
Miles pressed the elevator button.
Wayne tried to step in, but Miles shot him a sharp look and said, polite but firm, “Mr. Sinclair, please wait for the next one.”
Without giving Wayne a chance to say anything, Miles just pressed the close button.
Wayne's eyes went wide. He was so mad at Miles’s shameless move that he actually laughed.
“Miss Enna, I think your suggestions for the latest plan are excellent. I heard there’s been a lot of trouble between you and the Winslow family lately. I know my abilities are limited, but if you ever need anything, just let me know,” Miles said.
After he finished, Miles felt a bit embarrassed, and the tips of his ears turned red, but Sienna didn’t notice.
Worried he might come off as too forward, Miles quickly explained, “Miss Enna, we’re partners and friends too, aren’t we?”
Sienna nodded, giving him a gentle smile. Her cool eyes remained indifferent.
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Quinn, but they’re just a bunch of clowns. I can handle it. It’s my honor to be considered your friend,” she replied.
Miles still had so much he wanted to ask her, like, for instance, whether she was already seeing someone.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, the salty sea breeze hit them and Amber’s angry voice rang out in the wind.
“You again! I haven’t forgotten what happened last time. I told you, if I ever saw you again, I’d pay you back for every bit of humiliation! You phony!” Amber snapped.
The moment Amber saw the masked man, she instantly recalled being informed that she wasn’t qualified to hire a bodyguard and had subsequently been thrown out.
“You again?” Hudson Grant shot Amber a glance.
Great, it’s that cocky little brat again, he thought.
Alex Carter was stunned. Damn, why is this little terror here too! I still remember exactly how she roasted the boss last time, she thought.
Amber crossed her arms over her chest, chin held high, and said with a haughty air, “Hey! Apologize to me, right now!”
Hudson let out a mocking laugh, giving her a disdainful once-over. “What’s wrong with you? Go get yourself checked.”
“You…” Amber was fuming.
“What’s going on?” Sienna strode in, her dress billowing around her.
“You’re Siena Han?” Hudson could hardly believe his eyes. He’d only just heard she was back, since he’d been swamped with work lately.
The moment he saw her in person, Hudson had to admit he felt a pang of bittersweet emotion.
“You’re… Hudson Grant?” Sienna gave him a knowing smile. The two of them were friends, and when she first met Hudson, she had no idea he was the heir of the Grant family.
Back in the fighting ring, seventeen-year-old Sienna had gone head-to-head with Hudson, who was already the underground fighting king.
All their matches ended with a score of eighteen to zero. Hudson was utterly in awe of Sienna and even wanted to acknowledge her as his teacher. That once brash teenager had now become the CEO of the world’s biggest security company.
Hudson was a legend in his own right. Seven or eight years ago, his entire family was wiped out overnight, and he vanished from the world for years. When he finally returned, he was already the infamous Mr. Grant.
“It is Sienna! I honestly thought you were gone ten years ago. But it’s just so good to see you back,” Hudson said, his voice brimming with excitement and joy.
As he was about to step forward, Amber, that little munchkin, darted in front of him and blocked his path.
