Sienna kept what she saw at the airport to herself.
The weekends flew by in the blink of an eye, and another grueling week of work had begun. Sienna decided to make a visit to Tyson Corporation.
Matthew seemed to have expected her to come, and he had set aside some time in his schedule to chat with her.
On the other hand, Donnie was a little baffled by Matthew’s decision to meet her. He knew that the girl known as Ms. Grande was someone whom the Tyson family had arranged for Matthew to marry, but Matthew had never agreed to meet her before.
That’s really weird, and Ms. Quigley is still staying with him in Zen Highlands! He had a hunch that Ms. Quigley would be the one who would become the wife of the president of the company.
“Ms. Grande, this way please.”
Donnie had a professional, polite smile plastered on his face as he ushered Sienna into the president’s office.
When he returned to his own office afterward, he did not immediately resume work. Instead, he whipped out his phone and began searching for the latest gossip related to Tyson Corporation.
Meanwhile, Sienna was sitting awkwardly opposite Matthew at his desk.
It had been ten minutes since she entered his office, and yet Matthew, who remained focused on his work, did not even look her in the eye.
She had somewhat seen that coming, but she had never expected Matthew to be that cold toward her.
Hey, why are you acting so unbothered? I know about your relationship with Clarissa! Is that not worth your attention at all?
Sienna seemed to have forgotten that she was the one who came to visit him. In fact, she should be the one striking a conversation.
Eventually, Sienna lost her patience and finally spoke.
“Matt, what’s your relationship with Ms. Quigley? Is she your lover?”
Putting aside his files, Matthew looked up with his sharp eyes.
“Yes.”
Sienna paused for a few moments. She had prepared so many lines to say beforehand, and yet she found herself at a loss for words due to the intensity of his cold gaze.
As the silence persisted, Matthew looked away, and Sienna regained her composure.
She tried to string her thoughts together and said, “Matt, I want to compete with Ms. Quigley, fair and square. And I won’t tell anyone about your relationship with her, especially to your family.”
Matthew’s expression darkened. With his deep, dangerous voice, he replied, “Are you threatening me?”
“No… I… That’s not my intention at all. I know that you have your reasons for not making your relationship public, but I want to have a chance to win you over. I really like you, Matt. If you still don’t find me the least attractive after giving me a chance, I’ll willingly back off from your relationship with Ms. Quigley.”
With Clarissa’s social status, it would be almost impossible for her to be accepted by the Tysons.
Even if Matthew were lovestruck with her, his family would be a major obstacle between them.
Sienna confidently assumed that Matthew would be afraid of making his relationship with her public.
And with that “trump card” in her hands, she could use it to persuade Matthew to give her a chance to know him better. She believed that her proposal would be a good offer in the eyes of Matthew and Clarissa.
While thinking about her great plan, Sienna was so full of herself and somehow came to the conclusion that she was a complete saint for coming up with such a proposal. Hmph. I could totally have told your family about this, and you two would have broken up already.
Although she was the one paying a visit and pleading with Matthew to accept her proposal, deep down, she had put herself on a pedestal and felt that she had the upper hand in the current situation.
Meanwhile, Matthew was looking increasingly displeased.
“Sienna, your ego is too big for your own good. Do you seriously think that I need your help with my relationship?” he said curtly.
Compete fair and square? You can never compare to Clare, let alone compete with her. What a vain woman.
For Matthew, Sienna’s words were simply an indirect threat.
He felt rather disappointed about where the conversation was headed. I have expected more from you. Who would know that you’re just a dumb woman?
Hmph. On second thought, there probably isn’t a smarter woman than Clare in this world. Hehe…
Matthew was certainly not thinking that based on some objective criteria. He was but a man deep in love with his clever little girl, or so to say, he only had eyes for his lovely woman.
In contrast, Sienna was just an idiotic nuisance.
“You should leave.”
He did not want to be in the same room as Sienna, not even for a second longer.
Sienna had not seen that coming at all. Feeling embarrassed that things had turned out completely different from what she had envisioned, her face gradually turned pale.
“Matt, I’m not trying to threaten you. Why can’t you give me a chance?”
“Why should I give you a chance?”
Sienna’s question almost made Matthew puke.
Hah… She simply can’t accept the reality, can she? Is she trying to say that as long as you are someone she’s interested in, you should accept her advances and let her have her way with you? What a stuck-up woman.
If that’s the case, then I would be giving that chance to countless girls here in D City! Hah…
On the surface, Sienna seemed to be calm and confident. However, her confidence stemmed from narcissism rather than empowerment.
Panicking a little, Sienna bit her lip and finally said something that she considered to be a threat.
