The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Please Respect My Answer

Heading toward the fourteenth floor felt unusually long. Inside the elevator, Sienna could hear her own heartbeat clearly.

The higher the elevator climbed, the tighter the tension inside her chest became.

And the moment the elevator doors finally opened, the first person she saw was Benjamin’s secretary, Belinda.

The woman stood near the reception desk with a faint professional smile.

"Please follow me," she said softly. But, strangely enough, something in her gaze carried a faint mockery.

Unfortunately, Sienna was too distracted to notice it properly.

She simply followed behind quietly.

Then, finally, the secretary stopped before the large office door.

After opening it, she stepped aside politely.

Sienna silently tightened her fingers before forcing herself to enter.

The moment she walked in, her eyes immediately fell on Benjamin Foster. He remained seated behind his desk, casually signing several documents.

He briefly lifted his head to glance at her.

Then, without saying much, he gestured toward the seating area.

"Have a seat."

After that, he simply returned to his paperwork.

Sienna quietly clenched her hands while walking toward the sofa.

The soft click of the door closing behind her made her even tenser. Now they were alone.

Slowly, she sat down stiffly while trying to remain calm.

Several long minutes passed in silence.

Then finally, Benjamin stood from his chair.

The tired look on his face disappeared almost immediately, replaced by a smooth smile as he walked toward her.

"Do you want something to drink?" he offered casually while sitting across from her.

His posture looked relaxed. One arm rested lazily along the back of the sofa while his eyes openly lingered on her face.

"No, sir," Sienna answered professionally. "Please tell me why you called me here."

But instead of answering directly, Benjamin simply smiled. Then slowly, his gaze moved from her face downward.

"Sienna," he said softly, "you look prettier today."

The way his eyes looked at her made goosebumps immediately rise across her skin.

Still, she forced herself to remain calm despite the discomfort tightening inside her chest.

"Sir," she said firmly, "I’m sorry to say this, but if you have nothing important to say, I’ll leave now."

Immediately, she stood from her seat.

But Benjamin’s expression darkened slightly.

"Sit."

His voice was low. Yet somehow, it sounded more like an order than a request.

Sienna’s fingers tightened slightly.

After several tense seconds, she slowly sat down again.

Only after seeing her seated did Benjamin finally continue.

"So," he said calmly while staring directly at her, "let’s hear your answer."

Sienna could hear her own heartbeat clearly in her ears as she forced herself to hold Benjamin Foster’s gaze. This time, she truly wanted to end this properly.

"I’m sorry, sir..." she said softly, trying to remain respectful despite the tension within her. "But, I can’t force myself to like you, and there is not even a single cell in my body that can consider your feelings."

She inhaled slowly before finishing firmly, "So... I have to turn down your feelings."
