Chapter 571 Having Ospean Food For Dinner
Sienna was quick to regain her composure even when questioned. “I came here because I wanted to have a little chat with you, only to find out that you weren’t in after I entered the room. Who would’ve thought I’d run into you on my way out?”
Her calm expression and graceful smile made it impossible to tell that she was startled just seconds ago.
“What did you want to talk about, Mrs. Harris? We can talk about it now that I’m back,” Annie asked while observing Sienna’s expression.
“I was going to ask you when you plan on making your move. Asher may be excused from his punishment due to his illness, but he will have to return to the ancestral hall once he gets better. I can’t bear to watch him faint from the abuse again,” Sienna said.
Annie could understand the cause of Sienna’s anxiousness. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Harris. I have made all the necessary preparations on my end and will make my move within a few days.”
Sienna breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. “That’s good to hear.”
Annie was about to walk past her and enter the room when Sienna grabbed her by the wrist.
“The weather has gotten really warm lately, and my long hair isn’t making things any better for me. I was thinking of getting my hair done today! Would you like to come with me, Ms. Annie?” Sienna suggested amicably.
“Get your hair done?”
Sienna let out a chuckle. “That’s right. I heard young girls love dyeing their hair gray these days. I think you should give it a try, Ms. Annie.”
“I don’t mind keeping you company while you get your hair done, Mrs. Harris, but I won’t be getting mine done. I prefer my natural hair color, so I would prefer to not change it, Annie said without any hesitation whatsoever.
“Your hair sure looks great, Ms. Annie. I still think you would look even better if you dye it, though. Life is all about trying new things, after all. Besides, it would be pretty boring if you just sit there and watch me get my hair done.”
Annie shook her head and stood firm on her decision.
“I really don’t like dyeing my hair, Mrs. Harris. If you want to go to the salon, I’ll pack my stuff and head- out with you in a bit.”
Feeling disappointed, Sienna replied, “Forget it. There’s no point in me going if you won’t join me, so I’ll just put up with it for a few more days. I’ll go check on Asher in his room. Feel free to come see me if you ever need anything, Ms. Annie.”
“I will.”
The two then politely excused themselves and went their separate ways.
Annie quickly locked her bedroom door from the inside while Sienna returned to the master bedroom with a disappointed look on her face.”
Asher was sleeping soundly on the large bed of the master bedroom.
Exhausted from reciting and copying the scripture for a few days straight, he was using this opportunity to get some rest while he was sick.
Not wanting to disturb him, Sienna simply sat down beside the bed without making a sound.
I couldn’t find a single strand of hair inside Annie’s room, and she refuses to get her hair done either. Given how Annie is being extremely cautious around me, I doubt I will be able to complete the task that Gwendolyn assigned me.
With that in mind, Sienna sent Gwendolyn a text to brief her on the situation.
It wasn’t long before she received a reply from Gwendolyn.
The message read: Just wait and see.
Sienna figured Gwendolyn probably had a plan for this, so she decided to place her trust in Gwendolyn and stopped worrying about it.
When it was time for dinner, Sienna fed Asher some soup before heading downstairs with the empty bowl.
Oblivious to the reason she brought that up, Sienna replied casually, “It’s not bad. Every country’s cuisine is unique in their own way, I suppose.”
Annie glanced at the two chefs and the housekeepers, who were standing next to the dining table, and gave it some thought before continuing, “I have been eating Chanaean food ever since I got here a few days ago. I’m starting to miss Ospean cuisine. Could you help me out with that, Mrs. Harris?”
“I know a chef from Ospea. He’s an old friend of mine. Could you enlist his services for a few days and have him prepare our meals here at the Harris residence?”
Since hiring a chef wasn’t a big deal, Sienna saw no reason to deny that request. Besides, she had already promised Annie last night that she would comply with all her arrangements.
“All right. We can arrange for the chef to come over tomorrow if you’d like.”
She then lowered her gaze to conceal the sinister glint in her eyes as she continued, “Mr. Asher is sick, but Ms. Harris has yet to come and visit him. Why don’t you invite her over for dinner tomorrow? That way, she could also have a taste of Ospean cuisine.”
