Chapter 344 - A Cringey Situation
Chapter 344 – A Cringey Situation
"So, after everything that she did. You want me to just treat her as if nothing happened?"
Sienna nodded at John's question. "Yes." She held the teacup towards her nose, inhaling the scent of jasmine before taking a sip. Tea was not really her thing. She liked coffee, bitter and black. She eyed the man who looked like he didn't have an iota of sleep. It was only a few hours since they last talked and the man already looked rugged.
Was it because of the stress that Scarlette caused?
"Why?" he asked.
"Just give her what she wants for now. Then… once she started to think that she could get away with it. We strike." A smile appeared on her face.
John gave her a probing look before he snorted. "Are you confident that you could catch her?"
"Catch her? Who told you that I am going to catch her?"
"Then what are you planning to do?"
Before Sienna could answer him, the door suddenly opened in a loud bang.
To be honest, Sienna wasn't surprised to see Grant here. And she wasn't surprised that Grant immediately threw a punch towards John without even asking any questions.
Alright. This was really John's fault. After all, he kidnapped her!
Seeing the two start punching each other, Sienna took a step back and enjoyed her tea while watching the two. Obviously, she isn't going to get in between them and risked receiving a punch. "Alright… don't hit each other's faces. That's not good." Sienna muttered lowly. However, her words were enough to stop the two.
She was about to tell them to just fight and entertain her when Grant grabbed her, hugging her like it was the end of the world. She patted his back. "Let go… can't breathe." And the tea is still in her hand.
"Let go."
"Are you alright? Are you hurt? Did that— "
"Can you stop acting like a child?" John chimed in. "If I wanted to hurt her, did you think I would let her stay in this room? What a genius you are."
"You— The police are on their way — "
"Come on… we all know they are not going to do anything to me."
Sienna sighed inwardly. Grant was standing in front of her, a gesture of protection from her kidnapper.
"I am going to kill you!"
"Oh please…"
"Alright. Stop." Sienna said, her head is starting to ache again. "Stop it. You two…" She could feel Grant's sharp gaze on her. She shivered inwardly. This was the well-known fierce and cold gaze from the male lead! It could easily make anyone shiver in fear.
Oh well…
"Tell the police it was a false alarm," she met Grant's eyes. "It wasn't kidnapping."
"What did you do to her?" Grant hissed at John.
"What are you talking about?"
Seeing the two were about to start fighting again, Sienna held her head. "I feel like fainting."
"What?"
"What?"
"I need… peace." World peace. And her bed. Damn, talking to this two is consuming her energy. Can she just go back to that world and see Mo Li? The thought made her smile. How could she even think about that man in the middle of something like this? She sighed inwardly.
"Let me take you home…"
"No the room upstairs…"
"Shut up!"
"Oh, you shut up!"
Sienna clenched her jaw. "Please call off the police. Tell them it's a false report." She met Grant's eyes, making sure that he knew how serious she was."This is not kidnapping."
Grant's face darkened. He opened his phone and immediately gave the police a call, telling them that it was just a false report. Then, he didn't wait for any response from the other line as he ended the call. "Let's go. I am taking you home."
"Why not let her stay for a while? She is not feeling well…"
"Isn't this your fault?"
Sienna closed her eyes and listened to another argument. Seeing that the two were about to start a fistfight again, Sienna decided to just leave the room. Again, talking to them while they were angry is just like trying to explain photosynthesis to a two-year-old baby.
When they noticed that she was already gone, they sprinted towards her and once again asked if she was alright.
This is really… giving her a headache.
…..
"Speak," Sienna uttered after she explained to Grant what she was planning to do. Right now, they were already in his car. He wanted her to stay in his place. The only reason why she agreed is that Grant told her that Amanda is waiting for them.
Hey, at least Amanda already had the opportunity to visit his place? Is this considered progress?
Sadly, she knew that she was only dreaming. Grant's gaze was too obvious. It wasn't something that a younger brother should give to his elder sister. "What do you think about my plan?" she asked.
"Stupid and risky."
"…" Alright. Why was he talking to her like they are of the same age? She cleared her throat. She was still ten years older than this man! Even if she wasn't really his sister, he should at least talk to her as his senior, right?
Of course, she knew that this doesn't apply to the protagonist of this world.
"First, you already knew that John is planning to hurt you and yet you still asked Jane to leave!" Grant said. Sienna told him that she only wanted to act as bait and that she knew about the kidnapping in advance. This was the only lie that she could come up with. "Then, you actually let him take you to his house! What if he really hurt you? What if he did something worse? What if…"
[SCREECCCHHH]
The sudden stop jolted her body forward. She was thankful that she actually had her seatbelt on.
"What the hell? What are you doing?" she asked. They were currently in the middle of the road. It was lucky that no one was following their car, or an accident would have happened.
"When you thought about your plan, did you even think about me?"
Cringe.. Sienna blinked in response.
