Chapter 290: Chapter 291: Playing Golf, Hole in One
At some point, Adrian Desmond went out for a bit. When he came back, he saw Sienna Johnson on the balcony. She had changed into a golf outfit, so he quickly went downstairs.
"Has anyone ever told you how charming you look in a golf outfit?" he asked with a light smile, catching up with Sienna.
Sienna heard his voice and turned around suddenly. She saw him wearing a coffee and white plaid T-shirt with white slim-fit pants, which accentuated his long, straight legs. Because it was daytime, Adrian had put on a baseball cap, presenting a different side of him.
Sienna said, "Sixth Master, can I offer some suggestions for your golf course?"
"Suggestions? What kind of suggestions?"
"For the ladies’ golf outfits, could they not all be pink? Not every woman dreams of being a princess. For example, I despise this color."
Thanks to Pauline Briggs and Sabrina Johnson, Sienna had developed a deep loathing for the color pink.
"Isn’t it better than just black or gray? When my mom was alive, she would never wear such drab colors." Adrian equally despised Sienna’s preference for dark-colored clothes.
She’s so young and beautiful, yet she insists on dressing so frumpishly. This pink golf outfit actually looks incredibly charming on her; she suits these vibrant colors perfectly, he thought.
"If that’s the case, why don’t you wear pink?" Sienna challenged.
"Why would I wear pink? I’m not effeminate."
After a short walk, they arrived at the driving range. Sienna noticed that all the caddies were attractive women with voluptuous figures. As they demonstrated a swing, Sienna couldn’t help but worry their chests might spill out of their tops.
"Look at all these beauties. If one didn’t know better, they might think you’re running a brothel," Sienna remarked sarcastically.
"Looking at beautiful women prolongs life," Adrian said, gazing at Sienna’s elegant profile. If this woman didn’t infuriate him every day, he figured he might live to be 15 years old.
"Oh, you said that?"
Adrian put his hands in his pockets and smiled. "Scientists said it."
"In Orienta, you can’t always trust what ’experts’ say."
As they were talking, a golf cart drove up and stopped smoothly beside them. A man in his thirties waved at Adrian. "Adrian, I came to pick you up personally! Let’s go have a great round."
The man had a square jaw and a heroic, resolute air. This must be the Mike Adrian mentioned, Sienna immediately guessed.
Adrian smiled and walked over to greet him. "Mike, long time no see. How have you been?" The two began to chat, completely ignoring Sienna.
Sienna stepped forward with a polite smile. "I wish you both a good game!"
Mike’s gaze fell on Sienna’s face, his charming eyes narrowing slightly as if sizing her up.
Adrian stepped forward, firmly shielding Sienna behind him. "Mike, this is Sienna Johnson, my wife."
"I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before..." Mike mused, trying hard to recall her face.
Adrian reminded him pointedly, "Mike, she is my wife!"
"Haha... Look at you, so possessive, like you’ve never seen a woman in your life! I just glanced at her a couple of extra times, and you’re already upset."
"Don’t look where you shouldn’t!"
"Yes, Sixth Master, you’re absolutely right. My eyes will behave themselves."
The three of them took an electric golf cart to the course, where a stunning woman was already waiting. She too was wearing a pink golf outfit, and her figure was so sensational that even Sienna, as a woman, had to admire it.
"Mike, what took you so long? I was so bored," the woman cooed in Mandarin heavily laced with a Hong Kong accent, which Sienna found grating.
"Sorry, I was picking someone up." Mike walked over and wrapped his arm around the woman’s slender waist. Standing together, he was a good head shorter than her. Only then did Sienna realize Mike wasn’t very tall, about her height when she wore high heels.
The female companion looked at Sienna, and upon noticing that Sienna was even more beautiful than her, jealousy flared within her.
She said sourly, "Well, isn’t this pretty lady acting all high and mighty? We’ve all been waiting for you for an hour."
Sienna, unaware of the woman’s background, heard the complaint and explained, "I apologize, there was some traffic."
"Traffic? Then why didn’t you leave earlier? I detest people like you who waste their own time and everyone else’s."
"I’m sorry..."
Sienna apologized again, but Adrian’s expression darkened. He walked over to a caddie, took a golf club—everyone assumed he was about to play—but instead, he swung the club, hitting the woman on her calves.
"AH!" The woman’s knees buckled, and she crumpled to the ground in front of Sienna. Sienna quickly sidestepped, avoiding the direct obeisance.
"Sixth Master, what are you doing?" the woman cried, her eyes welling with tears as she looked at Adrian with a victimized expression, a silent accusation in her gaze.
Adrian struck her again, this time on the back. "Who do you think you are," he berated, "to dare compare yourself to her?"
"..."
"You’re not even worthy to carry her shoes!"
Sienna didn’t understand why Adrian was so furious, and the atmosphere grew tense. She walked to his side and placed her hand on his arm, feeling how taut his muscles were beneath her touch. He’s really angry, she realized.
"Adrian, you’ve frightened the lady," Sienna said softly.
Adrian looked at Mike without a word. Mike understood immediately and said to the woman, "Jessica, you’ve upset Sixth Master. You should leave."
"Mike?" Jessica’s tears began to fall in earnest.
Mike’s face turned cold. "If you don’t want to die, get lost now!" he said icily.
Jessica’s face turned deathly pale. She struggled to her feet and looked pleadingly at the two men, but when she saw neither showed any pity for her, she shot Sienna a venomous glare before storming off the golf course.
Mike took a long look at Sienna, his demeanor towards her becoming noticeably more respectful.
"Sister-in-law, let’s play a few holes," Mike invited.
"Actually, I’m not very good," Sienna admitted truthfully.
"That’s okay, Adrian is here. He can teach you." Mike, having witnessed Adrian’s possessiveness earlier, wouldn’t dare offer to teach Sienna himself. He quickly added, "Adrian’s an excellent player; he often gets a hole-in-one!"
Adrian laughed and took the first swing, effortlessly sinking a hole-in-one. I need to maintain this hole-in-one form all the way to bed later, he mused. His gaze paused on her undulating chest, and he pondered where it would be best to ’feast’ first.
"Adrian, Adrian... what are you thinking about?"
Adrian looked at the frowning Sienna with a dazed expression. Damn, I was just fantasizing about her, he thought, a little sheepishly. "Nothing. What’s up?"
