When it came to this issue, Liam had always believed his mother's disapproval was the only obstacle in their relationship. But this morning, he finally realized something: he couldn't control his parents' marriage, and by the same token, they had no right to interfere with his love life. He needed to be bold and pursue what he wanted.
"Let me treat you to dinner tonight. We should talk."
Sienna took a deep breath. "I already have a boyfriend, Liam. His temper is worse than mine. If you keep doing this, I'm worried he's going to beat you up."
"Also, I'm technically your boss. Don't call me Sienna anymore. Do you walk around calling Janice 'Jan-Jan' or Director Yates 'Rowena'?"
"Sie..."
"Get back to work!"
He had been gone for a long time.
Sienna finally rubbed her temples.
Thank god she was resigning soon. Out of sight, out of mind.

Her peace didn't last long.
Around nine or ten in the morning, Sienna received a WeChat message from Julian.
She casually tapped it open.
Julian: [Sienna, let's grab dinner tonight if you're free. My treat.]
A Bowl of Millet: [Sure! But let me treat you. You've already paid the last few times.]
Thinking about it made Sienna want to complain.
When she first arrived, she was told she needed to look after Julian. In reality, he managed everything whenever they went out to eat or hang out. He was stricter than her own father.
Sure enough, it was the same this time.
Julian: [No need, I've got it.]
Ding. Another message popped up.
The moment Sienna saw it, she snapped fully awake. She bolted upright from her slouched position, all traces of fatigue instantly evaporating!
Julian: [I'm being transferred back to Stanton HQ this weekend. I don't know when I'll be back here next, so stop fighting me on the bill.]
Sienna didn't waste a second. She dialed his number immediately.
"What's wrong?"
