Clayton caught the pillow with ease and raised a brow. \u201cMe? Taking advantage of you? You were the one crying and throwing a fit like a lunatic last night. If I hadn\u2019t dragged you back here, you would probably be sleeping on some sidewalk right now!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna ran a hand through her messy hair, failing to recall any of it. She walked to the vanity and was startled by her own\u00a0<\/p>\n
reflection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you can\u2019t take advantage of me either! Couldn\u2019t you have just left me in the guest room?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He leaned back against the headboard. \u201cYou exhausted me. I was worn out after giving you a bath.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She clearly didn\u2019t buy it. Since when was he so weak? The guest room wasn\u2019t that far away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna noticed a few scattered leaves on the vanity. She picked them up and examined them. \u201cWhat are these? You have a thing for leaves?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton threw off the covers and got out of bed. He calmly said, \u201cLast night, outside the bar, you insisted that these leaves were your money. You stuffed them into your pockets and wouldn\u2019t let anyone throw them away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She shook her head vigorously. \u201cNo way! That\u2019s impossible!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The reality was that she had done exactly what Clayton said. When he carried her out of the bar, she struggled free from his\u00a0<\/p>\n
grasp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes lit up when she spotted the fallen leaves on the ground. \u201cHands off! That\u2019s my money!\u201d she shouted before cramming them into her pockets like a madwoman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although Sienna couldn\u2019t recall a single thing, her instincts told her that this was exactly the kind of embarrassing thing she\u00a0<\/p>\n
would do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she tried to defend herself, Clayton would most likely prove her wrong with surveillance footage. She decided that it was best to keep quiet. She trudged over to the trash can and dumped the leaves inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you remember now?\u201d He leaned close, his warm breath lingering against her ear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNope. I lost my memory.\u201d She shoved him away and bolted. His low, amused laugh sounded behind her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After washing up, Sienna called Melanie. \u201cSorry. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll be joining Jierre Studios.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melanie sounded surprised. \u201cWhy? Did you get a better offer?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid someone put in a word for me back then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. \u201cWell\u2026 I can\u2019t disclose that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna answered promptly, \u201cI won\u2019t be joining then. Please pass the spot to the next person.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
Melanie was hesitant. \u201cI don\u2019t have a say in that. Ms. Sanderson is on a business trip today. Anyway, you\u2019re giving up the position, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After hanging up, Sienna looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. It was just one setback. At worst, she would have to look for another job.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She finished getting ready and headed downstairs, where Clayton was having breakfast. He didn\u2019t even look up at her. \u201cI thought someone would be too ashamed to show her face. I figured you\u2019d hide in your room and cry for days.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She shot him a glare. She remembered all too well the sarcastic words he had thrown at her the day before. \u201cDo you want me\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 61\u00a0<\/p>\n
crying at your grave?\u201d she asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, please.\u201d He took a sip of coffee. \u201cYou can barely afford the plot I\u2019d be buried in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The couple was at each other\u2019s throats again first thing in the morning. Edna hurriedly tried to smooth things over. \u201cMrs. Hale, would you like some breakfast?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna said in disgust, \u201cSomeone\u2019s poker face is ruining my appetite.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton frowned, clearly displeased by her stubborn refusal to have breakfast. \u201cDon\u2019t forget what the doctor said yesterday. Skipping breakfast? What are you, a plant living off sunlight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
