Contract Marriage: Enemies With Benefits
Chapter 22: Looking for Callahan
"Ah.... Oh, yes..."
In a luxury suite of Qing Grand, two bodies were deeply entangled, the sound of moans and flesh slapping echoed off the walls until both the people reached the peak.
Kira slumped in Seth’s embrace, "I had prepared this suite for you last night but you never came,’’ she ran her finger on the man’s chest.
"I was busy...:"
"Busy visiting my sister’s penthouse?"
Seth frowned, "Are you having me tracked?"
"No!" Kira pouted, "I don’t know what my sister is up to these days so I had someone keep an eye on her movements. That way, if she gets in trouble or if anything happens, I can find a way to help her."
"Sienna is a complicated person. Stay away from her and out of her matters," Seth said coldly.
Kira climbed on top of him, letting her breasts flush against his chest. She spoke in a coquettish voice, "She is still family. Daddy and her have a lot of walls between them. She hates me so much that she would never come to me for help. So, I found this way but it doesn’t seem to be working."
Seth’s eyes softened as he held the woman in place, "I just don’t want you to be hurt. Sienna... she has moved out."
"Moved out? Where? That’s her mother’s penthouse, she went against daddy and refused to give me that place..."
"Baby, let’s stay out of her affairs," Seth kissed the woman before he got out of the bed and walked towards the shower, "Things played out just as we had planned. Sienna has done her part, now it’s our turn so we can turn the losing situation in our favor. Get ready."
Kira looked conflicted, "Why don’t we drop it? Everybody is already hating on sis after the press conference. If we do that then, won’t it be too ruthless?"
Seth’s heart softened, ’She is still so kind and considerate towards a person who is always out to hurt her...’
The moment Seth disappeared into the shower, Kira pulled out her phone and dialled a number, "The bunch of people you got last time failed to get anything useful on Sienna. Hire the top private investigator if you need to... I need to know which con artist Sienna has married, and where she is living right now!"
The morning press conference was all over the tabloids and the Qing Family affair had become a full blown scandal.
The insiders who had some context of the affair also fanned the fire by tipping things from the party.
"Sienna Qing is like a jealous evil bitch!"
"It’s one thing she cannot tolerate her sister but she didn’t hesitate dragging her family down just because she couldn’t accept the truth!"
"That explains why her father chose his illegitimate child as his heiress."
"Ugh! The greedy woman cut ties with family and wore their heirlooms the next day to claim ties with them. She cannot bear the thought of not being a Qing!"
"She was all dressed up to nines, showing no remorse for her actions!"
"Explains why her boyfriend left her..."
"Her boyfriend is a Hawke at the end of the day. He could have any woman in the world. Why settle for damaged goods?!"
The controversy was spreading like a forest fire but the person who was at the center of it, was currently awash in another dilemma entirely.
"What is... all this?" Sienna was astonished.
The living room looked like a high-end clothing store. There were rows upon rows of clothes, on mannequins and garment racks. As Sienna turned around, she spotted a huge wall of shoes on a rolling cabinet.
And there were no less than ten people handling it together.
Sienna had yet to recover from her shock when another person walked in through the door, wheeling a rolling rack that had at least about thirty fur coats.
And just from the sight of the pristine fur, she knew that each of these cost no less than an apartment in the upper east of Amethyst City.
The current living room of the villa was every girl’s dream but Sienna was too speechless to admire it. She turned to Butler Thomas with endless questions in her eyes.
Thomas could barely hide the smile in his eyes as he spoke, "Young master had these arranged for you. In a few hours, the cloakroom would be ready. Please bear with the unorganized living room till then."
Sienna: "_" A... cloakroom?
She hadn’t brought a lot of clothes because she moved to Magnolia Crest on a short notice. She was planning to go shopping once she caught a breather. She never expected Callahan to do something like this.
Sienna removed her coat and scarf and folded the sleeves of her suit as she walked off to the kitchen.
"Young Madam?" Aunty Jane was surprised.
Sienna washed her hands, "You can take a day off and go home early. The weather is unpredictable these days so you shouldn’t risk getting stuck on your way. I will cook today."
"No, you don’t need to be troubled, Young Madam,’’ Aunty Jane smiled, "I heard from the Butler that the Young Master will be back late so I will prepare the food for you first."
"Oh? He will be late?" Sienna who was ready to take charge of the kitchen paused for a moment when Aunty Jane nodded.
After giving it a thought, Sienna checked the time on her watch, "Since he isn’t coming back for dinner, I can bring dinner to him."
Aunty Jane was surprised and then she instantly smiled in understanding.
7:30 pm, Hawke Corporation.
"Good evening, Miss. How may I help you?"
"I am looking for Callahan Hawke."
The receptionist lifted her head from the desktop and looked at Sienna when she heard that name, "I am sorry?"
The confusion on her face was so genuine that Sienna wondered if she stepped into the wrong building but she had seen the words ’Hawke’ in dazzling gold and she was too young to be fully blind.
So, she smiled at the receptionist, "Callahan Hawke.’’
"I’m sorry but you cannot meet the Vice President without an appointment."
Sienna frowned. Callahan caught her off guard so she wanted to surprise him. But it looked like she had no choice but to call him now.
’Speak of a botched plan...’ Sienna sighed as she pulled out her phone.
"Miss Qing?" A hesitant voice called up from behind.
Sienna turned around and her eyes widened slightly, "Miss Ivers."
