I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 252

Her mouth fell open slightly. "How... how did you know it's my birthday today?"

Wait. That wasn't the main issue.

"You just called me Sienna?" It felt like someone had struck a gong inside her head, her ears ringing wildly. "You remember what happened between us?"

She watched as Jorrod's previously relaxed brow suddenly pulled tight, a flash of pure displeasure cutting across his eyes.

He leaned back into his seat, a suffocating wave of irritation inexplicably settling in his chest. When he looked at her again, the temperature in his voice had dropped considerably. "Am I only allowed to call you Sienna if I remember every single detail?"

"Obviously. Doesn't it sound incredibly creepy to you when you say it?" Sienna blurted out without thinking.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she watched those dark eyes plunge into a terrifying abyss. In the already dim confines of the car, the unfathomable depths of his gaze seemed to swirl with complex, volatile emotions, making Sienna's heart skip a nervous beat.

No matter how confused or stunned she was, she could feel the atmosphere turning severely dangerous.

Dangerous enough to make the hair on her arms stand up.

Her hand clamped onto the door handle. She swallowed hard, her body instinctively leaning half an inch away from him. "Thanks for the birthday wishes! I'll definitely work twice as hard at the office to repay you. I have dinner plans tonight, so I should really get going..."

Jorrod leveled a chilling, emotionless stare at her.

Her attempt to retreat was the spark.

That casual mention of 'dinner plans' was the lit match thrown mercilessly onto the powder keg.

"Sienna Quinn." Jorrod narrowed his eyes, his large frame slowly leaning over the center console toward her. "Can't you prioritize me even for today?"

"Huh? Excuse me?"

Sienna was even more lost.

Sure, corporate culture dictated that employees should put their boss and the company first, but no one actually enforced it outside of office hours.
