Chapter 163: Chapter 163

Felix Orwell laughed coldly and said, "It’s Landon Lawson giving me a chance, isn’t it? I’ll be back as soon as possible."

Hearing that Felix Orwell was coming back, Sean Carter seemed somewhat excited.

"You’re really coming back? The old man is really willing to let you return?"

Speaking of the old man, Felix Orwell finally showed a hint of bitterness. The reason he hadn’t returned to the country for so long was because of the old man, wasn’t it?

Without fulfilling the agreement with the old man, returning wouldn’t be of any use; without the old man’s authorization, Felix Orwell wouldn’t receive any support.

Actually, after thinking it over, Felix Orwell realized the old man’s words weren’t without reason. With Landon Lawson’s status and skills, if Felix wasn’t truly capable, returning wouldn’t protect Sienna Quinn; it might even ruin things.

After hanging up the phone, Felix Orwell’s somewhat muddled eyes suddenly became much clearer, but now he must speed up to return to his homeland as soon as possible. As long as he’s by Sienna’s side, he’ll never let anyone bully her.

That Vera Yates, wanting to mess with Sienna, better reconsider first. Even if Landon Lawson wants to protect Vera Yates, it won’t work.

"If there’s nothing else, let’s hang up. I still have to study." Felix Orwell no longer felt sleepy, focused on achieving the old man’s goals quickly.

Sean Carter hesitated for a while, but didn’t hang up the phone.

Sean Carter frowned. What’s going on? "If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don’t make me find out later; I’ll deduct your salary and annual bonus!"

Salary... Annual bonus...

Sean Carter frowned again. Landon Lawson is simply a tyrant; why is he so domineering?

But what can be done? He’s the boss.

"Actually, lately I’ve been feeling something is not quite right."

"Not right? What thing? About Sienna?" Instantly piquing Felix Orwell’s interest, his slightly narrowed eyes deepened, making him look intimidating. Could someone else be thinking about Sienna? Who could it be?

"I always feel... Axel Yates’s feelings toward Sienna are not quite normal."

Sean Carter expressed his most worrisome concern. Watching Axel Yates’s gaze toward Sienna these days felt odd; this kind of look was one he knew well.

Felix Orwell was stunned for a moment and said unbelievingly, "Are you serious? Axel Yates has never had any inappropriate feelings toward Sienna for years; that’s why he let her work in his company all this time."

Initially, Felix Orwell wanted Sienna to come directly to the Orwell Group, but she sought experience, wishing to prove herself by her own merits, so she didn’t join Orwell Group. Could there now be another idea?

For five years Axel Yates was always proper, how come now that Sienna just returned, his heart shifted?

Sean Carter took a deep breath, maybe indeed he misinterpreted, but something still felt off.

"The way he looks at Sienna is exactly like how you do."

Felix clenched his fist tightly, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes. If it truly is as Sean Carter said, then Axel Yates does have other intentions toward Sienna. Discover more novels at novel✶fire.net

Such admiring glances can’t be faked.

After hanging up, Felix Orwell looked at the documents on the desk; some things cannot be done slowly, some people and matters can’t wait.

After Sienna and Landon Lawson settled their issues, they didn’t bring Evan Quinn back but returned alone to the office for Sunday overtime, reviewing all the latest documents.

Since securing the HR Group collaboration, the company’s voice of doubt against Sienna gradually faded. Due to her performance and work dedication, the remaining plans for the second half of the year were entirely entrusted to her.

Actually, yesterday at home, Sienna had already set the goals and plans for the second half of the year. The documents handed to Sean Carter in the morning were fully prepared.

Previously, they only made initial moves against the Grant Family, but from Sean Carter’s conversation, it’s known that Miles Grant’s family relied heavily on Landon Lawson. As long as Landon Lawson and Miles Grant’s relationship doesn’t sour, crushing the Grant Group remains difficult. Instead of wasting effort, better to target what’s easier to handle first.

The Quinn Group, conveniently, becomes the optimal choice.

She certainly wouldn’t jeopardize the company due to personal grudges; her plan is designed from the perspective of helping the company profit, while simultaneously combatting Quinn Group.

Sienna sat in her office, with all planned rehearsed.

Having just emerged from his office, Axel Yates stretched lazily, feeling fatigued. Due to previous inactivity, he’d been neglecting company duties, finally tackling the backlog today.

Coming out of the office, he lightly furrowed his brow passing Sienna’s office, pondering what she might be busying herself with at home.

Thinking of the woman whose smile is always radiant, his mood improved substantially.

Just as he was musing about Sienna, sudden commotion emanated from the inside. Axel frowned, it was the weekend, how could someone casually enter Sienna’s office? According to company rules, her office isn’t someplace for easy access.

Pushing the door open, Sienna was sitting inside alone. Hearing the noise, she lifted her head, dazedly gazing at Axel.

"President Yates, why are you still here?"

The latter was momentarily confused and quickly responded, "Sorry, I didn’t know you were inside. I thought there was a burglar, so I barged in, apologies for the spectacle."

"Why apologize? The company is yours; wherever you wish to go, can anyone stop you?"

Seeing her playful demeanor, Axel’s lips slightly curved upward.

"You really flatter me; at least as far as I know, there’s one place I can’t go."

"Where?" Sienna was perplexed; the whole company was Axel’s, could there be a place he couldn’t access?

Axel earnestly replied, "The ladies’ restroom!"

Sienna’s long lashes fluttered twice, her brain momentarily slow to process.

Once she grasped his meaning, she erupted in laughter, pointing at Axel in astonishment, "Didn’t expect President Yates would joke around; never knew it before."

Axel awkwardly scratched his head, embarrassed, "Seems the joke didn’t land well, I’m a bit rusty."

Sienna waved her hand, "You rarely joke with me, hence my slow reaction. If you were Felix Orwell, I wouldn’t be surprised at all."

"This lighthearted attitude still doesn’t quite suit me," Axel grinned sheepishly.

Sienna calmed her excited heart and said merrily, "Just be yourself; why live like someone else? Holding onto our essence is the hardest part, even in revenge; don’t let it make us lose ourselves. That’s not what our parents wanted."

Axel gazed at Sienna with admiration, savoring her words, his lips forming a handsome arc.

Sienna shrugged playfully, observing her nearly completed work, "Where are you heading?"

"To eat, King hasn’t eaten yet."

"Then take me along, I recall you said you’d treat me to a meal."

Looking at her beautiful face, how could Axel refuse?

"Today I’m going for a feast, don’t think of saving money. Chloe isn’t here, I’ll eat his share too."

"Eat what you please. A boss treating employees, could anyone eat me broke?"
