Chapter 719
Sienna couldn’t wait to find Daniel after getting Shelly’s approval. But reflecting on her harsh words from last night, she wondered how he was coping. Was he even willing to see her? She held onto her phone, her eyes fixed on the last message she sent to Daniel. There was no response from him yet.
The day before, Sienna stated that she didn’t have feelings for him and that she didn’t love him. Would texting him now to express her desire to be with him seem insincere?
Would Daniel think she had disregarded his emotions and taken him for granted?
Sienna clutched her phone, a whirlwind of thoughts tormenting her. Neither calling nor texting seemed adequate to express her true feelings.
As the evening approached, Sienna rode her electric scooter toward the police station. She figured this was around the time Daniel would be finishing work.
The sunset cast a warm glow around her. She savored the beauty of the scenery along the roadside. A deep sense of contentment washed over her.
Humming a tune without melody, Sienna glided beneath the dense canopy of sycamore trees. The spring breeze gently kissed her face, carrying the fragrance of freshness. She felt exceptionally peaceful. Half an hour later, Sienna reached the police station. She parked her electric scooter and quietly gazed at the entrance, waiting for Daniel. People bustled in and out, but he was nowhere in sight. After a while, Sienna locked her scooter and grabbed her tote bag, feeling nervous as she entered the station. Once inside, she surveyed the surroundings and found police officers busy handling cases and their duties.
Suddenly, a police officer in uniform passed by and asked, “Can I assist you with something?”
Sienna smiled warmly and anxiously asked, “Excuse me, is Captain Morrison from the Drug Enforcement Division here?”
The officer glanced back into the office and replied, “No, he’s not here.”
“Where did he go?” Sienna asked.
The officer’s expression turned serious as he scrutinized her. “Who are you? What’s your business with him?”
Sienna sensed his wariness and strictness. Perhaps it was because of his profession, but he gave off an intimidating air.
Uncertain of her role in Daniel’s life, Sienna didn’t answer his question. She nodded politely and said, “Thank you. I’ll wait for him at his house.”
With that, Sienna hurriedly left the police station.
She quickly hopped back onto her
electric scooter and sped away. When
Then turned at the intersection, she saw Daniel’s car emergine
from
the rear gates onto the main road.
It looked like he had just completed his work shift because he was driving his own car.
Sienna wasted no time and chased after him on her electric scooter. Luckily, a traffic light was up ahead, and she was almost closing in on him.
Yet, just as she was about to catch up, the light changed to green, and his car shot off. She pushed her scooter to its maximum speed, shifting it into the highest gear.
Just when she was on the verge of
catching up, she noticed Daniel wasn’t heading home. Instead, he pulled over at the entrance of an upscale residential area, seemingly waiting for someone.
As Sienna closed in, she witnessed Vivian emerging from the residential area. She was dressed elegantly and clutching a bag. She then slid into the passenger seat of Daniel’s car.
The distance between Sienna and them was only a few dozen feet.
Choosing not to follow further, Sienna slammed on the brakes and stood still. She felt a jumble of emotions as she watched Daniel’s car slowly vanish.
Why was Vivian all dolled up to hop into Daniel’s car? Where could they be headed?
Sienna felt a knot form in her chest, a sour feeling creeping in. It was difficult to put into words, but it was uncomfortable.
She recalled Vivian’s confident remarks about Daniel’s love for her. And with the timing, it seemed like an opportune moment for a romantic outing.
Sienna took a deep breath and silently chastised herself. Why was she bothered by this? Hadn’t she confidently declared yesterday that she had no feelings for him?
After all, Daniel was quite a catch. There was no need for him to be committed to just one person.
