’How did he know my phone number?’
Her chest tightened as an old, uncomfortable feeling stirred within her. It was the kind of feeling she had worked so hard to forget and let go.
For a few seconds, Sienna didn’t move.
The phone kept ringing, each vibration growing louder than the last, pressing against her nerves.
She hesitated. Part of her wanted to ignore it completely, to let it ring until it stopped, and pretend none of this had happened. But another part of her refused to let it go so easily.
’What if Zach is calling me from his second number?’
She pushes aside her worry and finally answers the call, "...Hello?"
There was a brief silence on the other end, just long enough to make her grip tighten again.
Then, a strange male voice sounded from the other end.
"Good evening, Miss Sienna. My name is Logan. My master asked me to come and pick you up. I’m waiting here at the entrance to your apartment."
The voice on the other end was calm and polite, with a quiet professionalism that instantly made Sienna sit up straighter.
"Ah, I see. Thank you for picking me up... Mr. Logan," she replied swiftly, her earlier hesitation and worry gradually fading as she rose to her feet.
In one smooth, slightly panicked motion, she slipped her saddlebag over her shoulder, nearly dropping it in the process, before hurriedly tucking the recipe from Ava.
Her eyes darted around the room as if making sure she hadn’t forgotten anything important. Then her gaze stopped on her suitcase.
"Right—" she muttered, grabbing it by the handle and nearly bumping it into the edge of the table. "I’m on my way. Give me a minute."
"Yes, miss..."
She ended the call and didn’t waste another second.
The door clicked shut behind her as she rushed out. If anyone had seen her at that moment, they might have thought she was either fleeing the gangster or heading to a weekend job.
It didn’t take long for her to reach the ground floor. Dragging her suitcase across the polished lobby floor, she made her way toward the main entrance, then stopped when she saw a sleek black Maybach parked outside.
Sienna was stunned.
’Wait...’ Sienna whispered, her grip tightening on the suitcase handle. ’Don’t tell me Zach sent a Maybach and his driver... to pick me up?’
Her mind immediately began to get too busy, forming conclusions faster than she could stop them.
’Well, I know he’s rich... but is he that wealthy?’ she wondered, her lips parting slightly in disbelief. ’Heaven! Did I accidentally accept a job from some hidden billionaire without realizing it?’
Before Sienna could dig herself deeper into that thought, the driver’s door opened, and a man stepped out.
He moved with quiet confidence, walking directly toward her as if there were no doubt in his mind about who she was.
’Oh... Zach really sent this man to pick me up?’ Sienna still wasn’t fully convinced this was real. ’Then why was he driving an SUV all this time? Was that... his casual mode?’
"Excuse Me, Miss Sienna?"
