Chapter 217: Chapter 217
Deliberately closing the distance between them: "Actually, you could repay me with your body."
"You’re really not serious." Sienna Quinn chuckled softly.
Because things at the company were overwhelmingly busy, given that matters with the Quinn Group were still ongoing, Sienna could only remain at the company to stabilize the team.
"President Yates, let’s head back." Sienna started walking outside, but Axel Yates stopped.
"I have something to deal with later, so I won’t be leaving with you."
Sienna was slightly stunned. Axel Yates had recently become suddenly busy, yet no one knew what he was occupied with.
The company’s opening was only in the morning, so when Sienna returned to the group, it was just after 10 AM. Danielle Carter looked at Sienna as she returned and followed her to report the situation.
"Bring all the documents to my office."
"Alright, President Quinn."
As time ticked by, it finally reached lunchtime, but Danielle noticed that Sienna had no intention of eating lunch.
Regarding the Quinn Group, Sienna was more invested than anyone. Some grudges, some resentments, no matter how long they were delayed, had to be settled.
Once immersed in work, she didn’t feel hungry. Danielle raised her wrist to check the time and glanced again at the hard-working Sienna.
Worried that Sienna’s body would not hold up, she hesitated but eventually knocked on the office door.
Sienna was so focused on her work that she didn’t hear Danielle’s knock.
Seeing that President Quinn didn’t respond, Danielle knew she was too engrossed to hear the knock.
With a heartache, she sighed softly and pushed the office door open.
"President Quinn, it’s lunchtime."
It was only upon hearing Danielle’s voice that Sienna snapped back to reality and looked up.
Rubbing her somewhat sore eyes, she said to Danielle, "It’s noon already?"
"Yes, you’ve been working around the clock lately. Your body won’t withstand it."
Danielle looked at President Lawson’s weary face with deep concern.
Seeing Danielle’s worried expression, Sienna felt a warm sensation in her heart.
A gentle expression surfaced on her face.
"It’s okay, don’t worry about me. You go eat first."
Sienna smiled at Danielle, trying to reassure her.
"Then I’ll go eat, President Quinn. Remember to eat once you’re done."
"Okay, you go eat quickly."
Sienna spoke weakly, as she was indeed very tired.
Before stepping out for lunch, Danielle thoughtfully brought Sienna a cup of hot water.
After speaking with Danielle, Sienna returned to her work.
Time ticked away, yet Sienna did not feel hungry at all. It was as if she were made of iron and didn’t need food to feel full.
At the same time, Landon Lawson had just finished his tasks and checked the time. It was past 12 PM, lunchtime, yet he didn’t feel hungry.
He turned his thoughts to the woman who had annoyed him that morning.
According to information from Nolan Shaw, Sienna had already begun moving against the Quinn Group. Her pace was swift and resolute, with no mercy shown.
But with her working so hard, he wondered if she’d eaten.
Thinking of this made Landon’s heart soften. He called for Nolan. Slowly, he said, "Go and ask Sienna if she’s eaten."
It was meant to be a particularly gentle statement, yet a slight chill could be felt when it came from Landon’s lips.
Nolan was puzzled by why his boss was acting so boldly.
"Still here?" Landon saw Nolan standing there as if his soul was elsewhere.
Nolan, lost in thought, was snapped back to reality by Landon’s cool voice.
Landon watched Nolan leave and pondered. Nolan seemed to have gotten a bit dull recently, often standing dazed, absorbed in unknown thoughts.
Landon considered whether he should change assistants, given that the current one seemed a bit silly lately.
Meanwhile, the flustered Nolan, who was calling quickly, was oblivious to his boss’s thoughts.
Having had several encounters with Danielle before, Nolan knew a thing or two about her, including having her phone number. Initially, he contemplated how he should approach the call, but it seemed best to just do it straightforwardly now.
After calling Danielle, he rushed to President Lawson’s office, fearing any delay might provoke his boss. With President Lawson’s temper being hard to predict lately, he feared crossing him.
Nolan cautiously opened the office door.
"President Lawson, Miss Quinn’s assistant said she hasn’t eaten. She added that Miss Quinn has been so busy with work lately, she often forgets to eat."
Nolan reported to President Lawson cautiously, daring not to omit a word.
Upon hearing Nolan’s report, Landon’s expression turned extremely gloomy.
Hearing that she hadn’t eaten lunch had already angered him, but the further details escalated his emotions beyond control.
Her fragile body would just end up worse with this neglect.
With a darkened face, he instructed Nolan to prepare the car. He wanted to go to a restaurant to pick out Sienna’s favorite Japanese cuisine.
Nolan dared not delay for even a second, rushing downstairs to get the car ready.
The restaurant was fortunately not too far, and he arrived after a short while.
Landon personally went to the kitchen to have the chef teach him how to cook, preparing a lovingly-made lunch for Sienna.
Nolan could hardly believe his eyes watching Landon’s busy figure. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⚑fire.net
Because not only was Landon making lunch for Miss Quinn, he had a faint smile on his face.
Nolan couldn’t believe his eyes seeing this scene.
Typically, Landon’s face would be devoid of smiles, his voice icily devoid of any warmth, let alone smiles.
So Nolan’s astonishment was understandable.
"This is probably what they call love." Nolan nodded to himself, speaking softly.
His tone carried a hint of envy. At his age, he still didn’t have a girlfriend, and who wouldn’t want such a sweet romance?
Of course, Landon was completely unaware of Nolan’s expressions and small thoughts.
Landon was entirely immersed in the joy of preparing a loving lunch for Sienna, all the while imagining how she would react upon seeing it.
He wondered if she would like the lunch he’d prepared, curious about what her expression would be.
Ordinarily high and mighty, domineering, and unemotional, President Lawson, at this moment, seemed like a young boy who had just fallen in love.
With the thrill of preparing a heartfelt gift for the girl he adored.
At this moment, Landon wasn’t the powerhouse within the company, just an ordinary man with his heart filled with thoughts of the girl he loved.
The company elders would never imagine that the aloof Landon had such a side to him.
Meanwhile, Sienna, buried in her work at the company, remained completely unaware of Landon’s actions at the moment.
