Although he had said she deserved it, his hand gently caressed her forehead.
Sienna pursed her lips lightly and, tilting her head upwards, stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. Her initiative left Rex powerless to resist.
Sienna always had her way, every time without fail.
And so, the matter at hand was resolved in this manner.
Finally, Rex spoke, "I'm not afraid or worried, but I don't want you to keep things from me. So, no matter what happens, you need to tell me, okay?"
Sienna nodded and said, "Mm-hmm, I got it, I got it!"
Her words were promising, but she often forgot.
Since Camille wasn't going to the office, Sienna went out with Rex.
As they passed by the villa where Camille and Ayan lived, Sienna couldn't help but bring it up, "Ayan has been away on a business trip for two days, right? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
It made Rex uncomfortable, and he responded coldly, "What are you talking about?"
Sienna didn't realize the mistake in her words and repeated herself.
Rex, his gaze fixed on the window, reached over to cup her cheek and, in a cold and indifferent tone, said, "Sienna, do you know what you're saying? It's best not to mention or even think about anything related to other men in front of me. Except for me, you can't have any thoughts about anyone else."
His possessiveness left Sienna slightly stunned, but she soon realized it and smiled, asking, "Mr. Ward, do you have to be so dominant?"
Rex gazed at her expressionlessly, his eyes seemed to be saying that this approach was currently ineffective.
Sienna could only bite her lip and remain silent, her face showing a gentle expression as she gazed at Rex. She whispered, "Then I was wrong, okay?"
"Do you truly understand your mistake?"
"Of course, I know I was wrong, and I'll change for the better."
"Humph!" Rex didn't believe her; this woman had him manipulated.
They continued chatting and arrived at the company. Due to the online events of the previous day, there was some chatter within the company.
As Sienna entered the company's doors, she overheard a few female employees discussing. "Miss Armstrong's mother is going too far, isn't she? It doesn't feel like the way a mother treats her own daughter. Even my mom, who strongly favors sons, wouldn't treat me this way, at least not to the extent of treating my life as a joke."
Another female employee chimed in, "I think the same. Miss Armstrong is such a good person, so why does her mother act this way? If she wasn't her own daughter, why would she continually pester Miss Armstrong and offer her so many benefits and favors?"
Sienna heard their conversations, and rather than thinking they were gossiping about Camille's personal life behind her back, she believed they had valid points. After all, the facts they stated were undeniable. Both Page and the Armstrong family indeed treated Camille unfairly.
Normally, partiality would be displayed on one side, but in the case of the Armstrong family, it was evident on both sides.
What Page had done, especially, had gone beyond the expectations and imaginations of everyone. Such actions did not seem fitting for a mother.
Sienna sighed silently and cleared her throat before proceeding inside. She did not reveal that she had overheard the conversation, choosing instead to appear as though she had not heard them. She greeted her coworkers with a gentle expression and a faint smile on her face.
Sienna went directly to her office. She hadn't damaged Camille's reputation or spoken ill of Camille, so she didn't want to get involved.
