Chapter 316: Chapter 317: The Poor Loser Driving a Red Flag Car
This man kept lingering, and it was almost daylight. Sienna Johnson took the portrait she had drawn for Adrian Desmond and threatened him, "Are you leaving or not? If you don’t leave, I’ll tear it up."
"How dare you! You gave it to me, so now it’s mine." Adrian Desmond really liked the painting and carefully took it back.
"Hurry up and leave, and don’t forget to find that necklace for me." Sienna Johnson was really worried about the necklace’s whereabouts. If she couldn’t find it, how would she explain it to Mrs. Phillips? Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
Sienna Johnson stared at Adrian Desmond, who fell silent. Adrian Desmond put away the painting and said impatiently, "I get it, quit nagging."
"Hey, take this matter seriously, okay?" Sienna Johnson was genuinely afraid they wouldn’t be able to find it, and she didn’t know how she would face Mrs. Phillips. "If we can’t find it, and Mrs. Phillips misunderstands me, thinking I shamelessly want to marry into the Phillips Family, I’ll lose all face."
"What does the Phillips Family amount to? Do they think everyone wants to marry into their family?" Adrian Desmond sneered.
Sienna Johnson remained silent.
"Hey, you’re not actually thinking of marrying into their family, are you?" Adrian Desmond sounded sour.
"If you agree to let me marry, then I’ll marry!" Sienna Johnson deliberately provoked him.
"Don’t even think about it!"
"Then why are you asking?"
Adrian Desmond was speechless.
"I’m done talking nonsense with you. Just hurry up and find the necklace. You were the one who threw it away in the first place!"
Adrian Desmond had initially thrown the necklace into the river. She had sent people to search the river, but they hadn’t found it. Later, Lucas Robertson told her that Adrian Desmond had fished the necklace out of the river and taken it.
Seeing her worried expression, her brows tightly knitted, Adrian Desmond couldn’t bear it. "Relax, I’ll find it for you as soon as possible."
"Thank you." She gave him a charming smile, and Adrian Desmond felt a tightening in his lower abdomen. This woman was trying to seduce him again.
"Don’t work too hard. I’ll pick you up after work tomorrow."
"Okay."
Adrian Desmond left Walter Klein behind and had a bodyguard drive Sienna Johnson home.
「In the hospital room,」
Adrian Desmond looked at the painting with murderous intent in his eyes and ordered, "Tell Aaron to make some trouble for the Phillips Family."
Whoever dared to embarrass his woman would suffer!
These past few years, Adrian Desmond had delegated most of his business operations to Aaron Faber and Cain Ford. They handled routine matters without needing to consult Adrian Desmond, only approaching him for decisions on major issues.
"The Phillips Family’s business is huge, and they have official backing. We don’t have any established roots here, after all... Sixth Master, perhaps you should reconsider?" Walter Klein advised.
Adrian Desmond glanced at Walter Klein and said solemnly, "Walter, I’ve noticed that over the years, your courage has dwindled..."
"Sixth Master, Madam and Noah Phillips have such a good relationship. If she finds out you’re taking action against the Phillips Family, Madam will surely cause a scene with you again... In any case, Madam doesn’t like Noah Phillips anymore, so it’s better to let things be..."
Adrian Desmond glared at him, scolding, "Walter Klein, have you forgotten who your Boss is!"
"I wouldn’t dare!" Walter Klein lowered his head, sweat beading on his forehead.
"I expect you to treat Sienna Johnson as you would treat me. However, when Sienna Johnson and I both give an order at the same time, whose command do you obey first?"
"Sixth Master’s!" Walter Klein replied without hesitation.
"Remember what you said today! Don’t let me see something like this happen again!"
"Yes!"
"Get out!"
"Yes!"
Walter Klein retreated, not daring to lift his head.
「Recently, at the end of the workday,」
A domestically made Red Flag brand car would be parked in front of the Eastminster Group. It appeared punctually across the street from the Eastminster Group every day when work ended.
At first, the employees didn’t pay much attention. It was only when they saw their President Johnson gracefully leave the company, get into the unremarkable Red Flag brand car, and drive off, that they were left somewhat dumbfounded.
Good heavens!
Does their beautiful President have a new boyfriend? With President Johnson’s looks and temperament, she should be dating a rich second-generation heir. Why is she with someone who drives a domestic car, likely a poor loser?
Some people felt sorry for Sienna Johnson, while others grew indignant.
After a while, the men who admired Sienna Johnson and fantasized about becoming the next "Kenneth Brown" began to feel bitter and were unwilling to be outdone.
As Sienna Johnson’s foremost suitor, Arnold Cooper naturally couldn’t show any weakness.
Arnold Cooper had always been arrogant, usually the one pursued by girls. It was rare for him to actively set his sights on someone, only to be repeatedly rebuffed. Thinking of Sienna Johnson’s consistently terrible taste in men, Arnold Cooper felt a deep sense of crisis.
Surely Sienna’s taste wouldn’t be so bad again, falling for another loser like Kenneth Brown.
Arnold Cooper decided to completely shatter that loser’s confidence, make him back off, and send the clueless loser packing in defeat.
With this confidence, the next time the Red Flag car appeared, Arnold Cooper parked his sleek Ferrari beside it. He wore a white British-style casual outfit that accentuated his tall frame and youthful aura.
He half-opened his car door, struck a pose he considered handsome, leaned against the door, and casually greeted Sienna Johnson as she walked over.
"Hi, Sienna! I came to pick you up from work."
When Sienna Johnson saw Arnold Cooper, she was genuinely startled, and then a headache began to form. Years of experience told Sienna Johnson that she absolutely couldn’t give this brat an inch of encouragement; otherwise, he’d stick to her like a stubborn leech.
So, Sienna Johnson pretended not to see Arnold Cooper and walked right past him.
Arnold Cooper’s smile faltered.
These past few days, Adrian Desmond’s injury had been healing quite well. However, he still limped badly when walking. Unwilling to appear limping before Sienna Johnson, he used a cane, which made things somewhat better.
Today, Adrian Desmond had said he would take her to a special place. So, after work, she changed early. She put on a light blue, short-hemmed, light gauze dress and a pair of open-toed high heels. She let down her tied-up hair and used a portable electric curling iron from her backpack to quickly smooth out the creases left by her hair tie. Letting her hair cascade down softly, she then stepped out with a bounce in her step.
Sienna Johnson, all dressed up, was gorgeous.
"Adrian..." She walked over with light steps, and Adrian Desmond smiled when he saw Sienna Johnson.
"Was work tiring today?" Adrian Desmond had also made an effort to dress up today, his hair styled with mousse and combed smoothly back, revealing his fine forehead and handsome features.
"Sienna, why are you ignoring me?" Arnold Cooper wasn’t so easily dismissed.
"What do you want now?" Sienna Johnson asked, clearly annoyed.
"Who is this man?" Arnold Cooper stared at him with hostility.
Arnold Cooper was incredibly persistent, and Sienna Johnson really didn’t want to deal with this overly tenacious man. "I have other things to do; I’m leaving."
