Upstairs in The Design Department, Director Yates couldn't stop praising Sienna to anyone who would listen.
Her primary audience was Nate.
"That girl Sienna is really something else."
Because of their differing responsibilities, there was always some friction between the departments. It wasn't as harmonious as it seemed on the surface.
Director Yates hadn't expected someone from The Administrative Department to stand up for the designers.
It was a thankless move.
Furthermore, she was standing up to Jorrod, a man who terrified even the senior executives.
Witnessing her fearless, unwavering defiance in person left Director Yates thoroughly impressed by her sheer grit.
Nate spun his chair around, looking up at Director Yates. "What happened?"
Director Yates gave him a brief rundown.
At the end, she asked, "Does Sienna have a background in design? Or maybe she's worked in the field before?"
Nate smiled, nodding as he smoothly rattled off Sienna's alma mater and major.
Director Yates shot a surprised look at Liam Carter nearby.
"You and Sienna went to the same university? You never mentioned it."
"We should just transfer her to our department. Leaving her under Janice is a complete waste of talent."
Liam had absorbed every word.
Especially the part where Sienna defended a design he had helped create.
His heart surged with a tidal wave of emotion.
Just when he was about to give up, a spark of hope ignited in his chest.
So, Sienna wasn't just defending The Design Department earlier.
She had been fighting for him.

At lunch in the cafeteria.
Sitting with Mindy and a few close colleagues, Sienna learned where Jorrod had gone after leaving the meeting room.
"That was the first time I've ever seen the CEO's uncle in our building."
Mindy mentioned running into Jorrod's uncle, Theron, downstairs. It seemed he had come specifically to see his nephew.
She went on about how, despite pushing fifty, Theron hadn't let himself go at all. His physique was muscular and powerful, radiating a raw, masculine energy that put the twenty-something guys in the office to shame.
