Chapter 6 Meeting Enzo Hsias
1399 Words
Sienna Sim's POV
Caelestis Wolfe's face was calm, but an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes. "Don't play this kind of trick in front of me."
I was stunned for a long time before I understood what he meant. I had never been involved in the affairs of men and women, but I had watched TV series...
Did he think that I was deliberately seducing him?
I lowered my head and didn't say anything. With his status, everything he said was right. I had nothing to say.
I turned around and went back to my room without saying anything.
My mother said that I was too cold. In fact, I really wanted to defend myself. When I was in high school, I was the vice president of the student union. I was cheerful and lively, which was also recognized by everyone.
However, in front of my mother, I didn't dare to laugh or lose my sense of propriety since I was a child, because she would be unhappy. I always said that a woman should be gentle. In the past, I felt that enduring was too painful. After six years, I could endure it calmly.
At noon, Aaron Wolfe said that he wanted to eat dessert, so I took the time to make some for him. In recent years, in order to let my mother eat more, I practiced my cooking skills hard.
After it was done, Aaron Wolfe was still asleep, so I was going to take a nap. I cooked noodles for Caelestis Wolfe and then thought about something else so I fell asleep late last night. At this moment, I was a little dizzy.
When I went upstairs, I saw Ms. Zoe coming down from upstairs, panting. "Ms. Zoe, why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter?"
"Oh, it's Sienna?" After thinking about it, she patted her head and said, "Look at me. Isn't this a ready-made person? Who else should I look for?" As she spoke, she handed me the transparent bag in her hand. "This is Mr. Wolfe's medicine. Send it to him."
"Medicine?" I waved the bag in my hand. The words on it read, "Depression, sleep peacefully?" I was stunned. How could such an arrogant person still be depressed?
Seeing my confusion, Ms. Zoe sighed slightly and said, "Something happened to him when he was a child. He couldn't sleep well at night, so he must take these medicines."
"Oh," I said. "There are some unspeakable things in rich and powerful families. I'd better known less."
"How about letting the driver send it? I'm not familiar with the place." I declined. I really didn't want to have too much contact with that man.
"I'm afraid the driver won't keep his mouth shut. It's can't be known by outsiders."
Outsider? I am an outsider, aren't I?
"Sienna, please do me a favor. Mr. Wolfe is going on a business trip this afternoon. If you don't send it now, I'm afraid it'll be too late."
"Business trip? He could buy some more when he gets there. Doesn't he have a lot of money?"
"This medicine can't be bought in ordinary places." Although Ms. Zoe was not in the business world, she had lived with the Wolfe Family for so many years that she naturally knew how to observe people's expressions. Seeing my hesitation, she continued to explain patiently.
"Forget it. Go ahead with your work. I'll go by myself." Ms. Zoe said as she pretended to take the medicine back. Thinking of her illness, I hesitated.
Standing in front of the tall building, I took a deep breath. It was the first time that I had entered such a luxurious and high-end building. I really felt a little nervous.
I told the receptionist why I was there. The receptionist looked me up and down with disbelief in her eyes, but she still politely asked me to sit in the chair next to her and called the president's office.
"Medicine? The president is not sick. Why should she send medicine? What's wrong with you?" The secretary hung up the phone after saying that.
Being scolded, the receptionist turned to look at me with an ugly expression. "Miss, I'm sorry. The higher-ups said the president didn't need medicine, so I can't let you go up." Then, she turned around and ignored me.
Nowadays, women used all kinds of tricks to get close to our president.
I closed my eyes and sighed helplessly. It would be abnormal if people in this society did not judge a book by its cover. I took out my phone and called Ms. Zoe. I wanted to talk to Caelestis Wolfe, but the phone could not get through for a long time.
I wanted to leave, but I felt that I was entrusted by someone else. If I left like this, it would be too irresponsible.
So I found a seat at the door and sat down. Ms. Zoe said that he would go on a business trip in the afternoon, so I waited at the door. It should be right.
Leaning against the chair, I felt drowsy and sleepy.
"Sienna..." In my daze, I heard someone calling me. It was a man's voice.
I opened my eyes and saw who it was. I immediately stood up. "Dr... Dr. Hsias, why... why are you here?" I was so surprised to see someone I knew in Chibridge.
Enzo Hsias looked at me and pulled me into his arms. "I was on a business trip when your mother passed away. I heard about it when I came back and I haven't seen you. I called you, but your phone number is useless. I thought I would never see you again. I heard that you inquired about Wolfe's Group, so I came here to try my luck, but I didn't expect I could really meet you."
Because of my mother's illness, we had known each other for about five years. After a few years of getting along, maybe my appearance was the most ordinary one among the women he knew, but in his heart, I was the most beautiful one he had ever seen.
I remembered that the first time we met each other, he was making hospital rounds. For some reason, I was scolded by my mother. She said such harsh words, but I was not angry. Instead, I kept persuading my mother with a smile not to get hurt.
At that moment, he began to pay more attention to me, an ordinary girl.
Later on, he looked at me crying behind my mother's back. After wiping away my tears, I told a joke to a child with terminal cancer. I was obviously very tired and sleepy, but I still massaged the legs of an old lady in the same ward. In recent years, I had always taken care of my mother alone. I had no friends or relatives to help me, but I had never complained.
I had so many advantages that Enzo Hsias felt as if he had encountered a 'treasure'.
Unfortunately, I was always indifferent to him, which made him even more obsessed with me.
Because of my mother's prejudice against me, it was difficult for us to say a few words.
Finally, no one stopped us, but there was no news of me. During this period of time, because of my departure, the unspeakable disappointment and emptiness in his heart made him deeply realize that he had fallen in love with me.
I was a little embarrassed by his sudden hug. After coming here, I changed my phone number and wanted to cut off all ties with the past. I had never thought of contacting anyone.
Enzo Hsias was tall, wearing a beige thin sweater with a semi-collar and light-colored jeans. His facial features were much more delicate than Caelestis Wolfe's. He looked like a young actor in Korean dramas, making people feel warm.
He was my mother's attending doctor. Because of this disease, my mother had to undergo chemotherapy and be hospitalized frequently. In recent years, we had become friends.
However, for me, we were just ordinary friends. That's all. So, I really can't accept Enzo Hsias's current enthusiasm.
"I..." I didn't know how to explain my current situation. I bit my lips and lowered my head. I wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
