I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 257

The moment the words left his mouth, a heavy silence blanketed the room.

Jorrod's hands finally froze on the keyboard. He looked up.

His dark eyes locked onto Silas, calm and unfathomable as a bottomless abyss.

His voice was frighteningly smooth. "A blind date?"

Silas couldn't read whether he cared or not, but the fact that he actually looked up was a sign. "Yeah, a blind date. Elara told me... you know, Sienna's friend. She even helped her set up the profile."

Speaking of it, Silas let out a sigh of relief. "I was worried Sienna would be devastated, but it turns out she's not hung up on you like I thought. She moved on pretty quick."

Behind the pristine lenses of Jorrod's glasses, a violent storm brewed in the absolute darkness of his eyes. His hand, resting over the computer mouse, twitched imperceptibly.

He didn't say a word. His gaze dropped back to the monitor.

But for a very long time, the screen didn't change.

"Do you know what the craziest part is?" Silas continued, oblivious to the man's subtle tension. "The guy Sienna is meeting is actually an acquaintance of our buddy. Want to know when it is? Tomorrow afternoon."

Before Jorrod could respond, Silas suddenly remembered that tomorrow afternoon was an incredibly important, long-scheduled exclusive interview.

It wasn't just a standard media feature. It was a deep-dive interview that would dictate the company's trajectory for the next year. It involved half the industry, and missing it meant losing an opportunity that might take ages to reschedule.

Silas knew his friend had feelings for Sienna.

But he also knew that it was just a blind date, not a wedding. There was no way Jorrod would jeopardize such a monumental corporate event, no matter how much he liked her.

-

This was Sienna's first blind date in her entire life.
