Chapter 34 Are You Sure You Can Finish?
Sienna’s behavior, in Mona’s eyes, was nothing but showing off her capabilities.
It would take five or six hours for one person to complete all these tasks.
Sienna still had other work on her hands, and sorting through it one by one was no easy task.
Mona thought Sienna would refuse, but to her surprise, she agreed and did so readily.
“Are you sure you can finish?”
Mona raised her eyebrows, asking somewhat incredulously.
“Before you assigned this to me,” Sienna replied calmly, without a trace of emotion on her face, “did
you assume I wouldn’t be able to complete it?”
“Certainly not…”
Mona immediately averted her gaze, looking elsewhere with a hint of guilt.
Mona had many grievances against Sienna, mostly because of Donald.
Mona had been at Read Law for three years, becoming Donald’s right-hand woman, and they were
considered the perfect partners.
She had gradually become attracted to Donald, thinking no one was more suitable than her.
Mona believed she was one of the best in both appearance and ability, yet Donald never responded
to her advances.
He said he wanted to focus on work and not think too much about other matters.
Mona knew Donald had high standards, so she tried hard to keep up with him in both work and life.
However, Sienna’s sudden appearance caught Mona off guard.
Mona had never seen Donald treat anyone so well. He even cleared an office for her. To say Mona
wasn’t jealous would be a lie.
Mona left the materials behind and walked away, hoping Sienna would take a hint and leave Read Law
sooner rather than later.
Mona wouldn’t tolerate any woman getting close to Donald, especially someone he cared about.
Since Sienna was so good at attracting men’s attention, Mona wouldn’t hesitate to trip her up behind
her back.
After Mona left, Sienna focused on her work, not noticing the time passing.
When she finally looked up, rubbing her shoulders, there were only a few people left in the office, and
the night outside was particularly dark.
She didn’t mind working overtime. This was her first step back into society.
Sienna wanted to work diligently and steadily, not letting others look down on her.
“How do you feel about your first day at work?”
Donald entered the office with steaming hot snacks, looking at the tall stack of files in front of Sienna
and smiling.
Sienna quickly stood up, her expression subtly watching the snacks he brought. “Mr. Read…”
She didn’t want Donald to give her any more special treatment, as it would only lead to more
criticism from others.
There was already enough gossip about her, and she didn’t want it to get worse.
“I know what you want to say.” Donald motioned for Sienna to sit down, placing the snacks on her desk.
“You were hired by me, without any experience in this field, so it’s natural for them to have opinions.”
“You don’t have to listen to their gossip. If you can’t stand it, just tell me directly, and I’ll handle it.”
Sienna couldn’t help but smile bitterly at his words. How could she tell Donald? This was nothing but
tattling on him, wasn’t it?
Doing so would inevitably provoke even stronger dissatisfaction and make her a target for more
people.
“It’s okay. I can endure it.”
Having made it through harder times, Sienna wouldn’t stumble at this point.
She knew very well that she got this job thanks to Donald’s help.
Without him, she wouldn’t even have been able to step through the doors of Read Law.
Despite many people having opinions about their relationship and speaking harsh words, she
pretended nothing was wrong and didn’t take it to heart, focusing on doing her job.
Sienna couldn’t shut others up, but perhaps she could gradually become better.
The word “endure” made Donald frown, seemingly unhappy. “Sienna, you don’t have to endure it
anymore.”
He had seen her crying painfully at Lara’s funeral, a sight that would cause pain in anyone’s heart,
even if they were not close to her.
Get Bofus
Sienna had borne too much, whether it was Adrian’s hurt or the pressure from everyone else, her body
and mind had reached an overloaded state.
“Mr. Read.” Sienna looked down at the documents on the desk, feeling a sense of fullness in her
heart. “I think it’s good enough now. At least, there’s a glimmer of hope.”
Donald looked at her and couldn’t help but sigh. “Alright, if you have any grievances, don’t hold
them in. Feel free to talk to me.”
“By the way, the meeting with your father is set for this Friday.”
“Really?”
The unexpected news made Sienna’s eyes widen, more joyful than eating a midnight snack..
She had thought the chance was slim, even with Donald’s help, but he had managed to fulfill his
promise to help her see Stanley.
“Why would I lie to you?”
Seeing Sienna smile, Donald’s heart felt lighter. “But you only have ten minutes. Think about what you
want to say and prepare in advance.”
Regardless of what she would say, Sienna just wanted to see Stanley’s current state.
Since his imprisonment, she had not seen him.
If it weren’t for Lara, she wouldn’t even have known that Stanley was in jail.
“Okay.” Sienna nodded gratefully at Donald. “Thank you, Mr. Read.”
No amount of gratitude could express Sienna’s current emotions. Without Donald’s help, she wouldn’t
even know which way the prison’s entrance faced. It was all thanks to Donald.
“If you’re grateful, eat all of these things.”
Donald smiled at Sienna in front of him, reaching out to pat her head but then retracting his hand.
“Alright, go home early. It’s already late.”
“I’ll go home after I finish these tasks.”
Happy as she was, Sienna didn’t forget the work she had promised Mona.
She had almost all the materials prepared. She just needed to print and bind them.
This step was simple but time-consuming, as it would take at least two hours to sort and bind hundreds
of documents.
It was already ten at night, well past the end of the workday.
Sienna pursed her lips, sat down, and continued to work tirelessly until she finished.
Get Bojias
This was her first battle, and she had to make it count, to show them that she could do the job.
Even with Mona’s difficulties, Sienna couldn’t back down and had to do the work quickly and well. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Seeing her persistence, Donald didn’t say anything more, watching her for a while before leaving
Read Law.
Her future was still long, and indeed, she should grow by experiencing hardships.
