“We’re done here as in you and I are done, or as in our mission is done?” he asked, his voice seductive.

Sienna’s eyes widened and she pushed him away, then smacked his arm. “Our mission, you idiot.”

Aiden gave her a knowing smile and she wondered what he saw in her. She wasn’t too sure herself that she was talking only about their mission and didn’t want to be seen as a jealous person, but she also didn’t want to know who he was fucking.

“Take a shower,” he told her. “You smell like sex.”

“And you stink,” she called after him, but he was already back in his room.

Sienna groaned and fought the urge to throw her shoe after him. She took off her clothes and walked into the en-suite bathroom that was just as flowery as the rest of the room. Even her towels had flower designs stitched into them and the shampoo smelled like them.

After a quick, but thorough shower where she scrubbed off every trail of Aiden, Sienna dried her hair, then put on a new dress. She made sure to keep her breasts on display even though Angelo’s shameless gawking left her feeling dirty, but every little thing could help their goal.

A knock on her door, followed by Brian’s voice. “Miss, are you ready?”

“Come in, I’m almost done,” she called back.

Brian entered the room and positioned himself next to the door. His eyes travelled around, taking in the room.

“What’s the decoration like in your room?” Sienna asked him as she sprayed on the perfume.

“Like a jungle,” Brian replied but didn’t elaborate more.

“It’s horrible, isn’t it?”

Brian shrugged. “It’s really not my place to say nor judge what rich people do.”

Sienna narrowed her eyes at him, taking in his ripped physique and his military-style haircut. “How long have you been working for the Carringtons?”

“My whole life,” he replied without missing a beat. “My father was Mr. Carrington’s right hand until the day he died, and I more or less grew up with the heirs. You do know that I’m only eight years older than Jensen, right?”

“Eight?” Sienna asked, then gave him a look over. “To be honest, I thought you were his age.”

Brian chuckled. “Sadly, I’m already in my forties.”

“No wife and family to settle down?”

“No, I have a different purpose in life and I’m not focusing on anything else until it’s done.”

Sienna lifted her brow. “What is it?”

“My job,” Brian replied with a small smile on his lips. “Speaking of, we should get down for dinner.”

Glancing at the mirror one last time, Sienna deemed herself ready. With Brian close on her heels, she walked down the hall and into the dining room where their hosts and Aiden were already waiting.

“Apologies for the delay. I hope you didn’t wait long,” she apologized.

“You’re not late at all. It’s us who’re early,” Angelo told her and stood up in greeting as she came to the table.

His eyes travelled to her low-cut neckline, shamelessly staring at her breasts. Sienna swallowed the disgust and forced a smile on her face.

“You’re too kind,” she told him.

Yvonne glared at her as she joined Aiden, who helped her with her seat. And Willie, in turn, was glaring at Aiden for getting his mistress’s attention away from him. Sienna nodded in thanks to Aiden, then forced herself to focus on her dinner company. She would rather be anywhere else than here with these slimy people. Even dinner with the Remingtons sounded more intriguing.

Brian sat on Sienna’s left side, somehow managing not to draw any attention to himself. It was a skill that Sienna wished to have, but at the same time, she knew that her job here was of the opposite nature.

“How’s your father?” Angelo asked Aiden in an attempt to make small talk.
