Chapter 22 Chapter 22 " Alright , " Sienna said , her voice tight . " Thank you . " Hearing her formal tone , Jason's face fell . " Enna … after all these years , does our friendship mean nothing to you ? Every time you talk to me , it's all polite and distant . Feels like I'm not even a friend to you anymore . " Sienna looked at him , a complex mix of emotions in her eyes . They had known each other since they were children , grown up together . But a decade was a long time . The shy , awkward boy she remembered was now a confident , life - saving doctor . " Jay ," she said , her voice softening . " That's better , " he said , his mood instantly lifting . " Come on , let's get a drink . " Vivian , waiting outside the office , peeked through the glass , wringing her hands . ' Am I really that sick ? ' she wondered , anxiety creeping in . Seeing her anxiety , Sienna softened her expression when leaving the office , hiding any hint of concern . " Alright , young lady , " Jason said , his voice cheerful and reassuring . " You're perfectly healthy . Nothing to worry about ." " Really ? " Vivian's eyes lit up with a fragile hope . " Are you sure ? But … sometimes I do things … I bit my sister . " " You just get a little overwhelmed sometimes ," Jason said breezily . " It's no big deal . You just need to learn to manage your emotions . " " So … I don't need medication ? " Vivian asked , half - convinced . She knew something was wrong with her . In the dead of night , she would often feel herself teetering on the edge of a complete breakdown , with only Mason as her lifeline . Sienna put an arm around her . " No , Vivian , " she said gently . " You don't . You are fine . " Tears welled in Vivian's eyes . " But I bit you … I … " " That's because you were having a panic attack , " Sienna explained patiently . " It was an understandable reaction . You have nothing to feel guilty about . The man who hurt you is in jail now . From now on , you won't be triggered like that again . If someone mentions him now , would you still be afraid ? " Vivian shook her head , the image of Sienna smashing the teapot over Kevin's head flashing in her mind . " No , " she said , her voice firm . " No , Sienna . I'm not afraid anymore . I'm moving on . " " Good , " Sienna said . The next day , Vivian went to work as usual . Sienna had already known that she worked at Dynastis , a small company , but she was still confused . With Vivian's grades , Sienna was sure she could have gotten a job anywhere . Sienna decided to figure it out . She sent Lana a message to investigate before meeting her up . " Lana , " she said , rubbing her temples . " Bring me the files ." " Miss Enna , here you are , " Lana reported . " It appears someone has been deliberately sabotaging her career ." Sienna's eyes snapped open . She took the file . Vivian had graduated three years ago , paying her way through college with part - time jobs . Her eyes fell on a name : Sophie Quinn . " Sophie is the eldest daughter of the junior branch of the Quinn family , " Lana explained . " Three years ago , when Miss Vivian started dating Mason , Sophie was vehemently opposed . She demanded that Miss Vivian break up with him . When she refused , Sophie used her connections to blacklist Miss Vivian from every major company in the city ." " Sophie Quinn , " Sienna murmured . " The name sounds familiar . " The Quinns were a major player in Vallaris , but Mason's branch of the family was less significant . Still , they had enough influence to make Vivian's life difficult . 1/2 . Chapter 22 " I believe I have an unsigned contract with the main Quinn family , " Sienna said , a cold smile touching her lips . " Tell them I'm in Vallaris personally to oversee the deal . " " Of course , Miss Enna . And regarding Miss Vivian's company ? " Lana asked . " That little company threw my sister a lifeline when she was drowning , " Sienna said . " Acquire it . " Lana nodded . That small , insignificant company had just won the lottery . " Yes . And one more thing . Ms. Lambert has been trying to contact you . She asks that you call her back when you have a moment . " " I heard you , " Sienna said , waving her hand dismissively . " You may go . " Lana nodded and left . Sienna stood at the window of her penthouse suite , a vision in a red silk dress , and looked out over the city of Vallaris . Vivian returned to work a new woman . She was cheerful , optimistic , and full of energy . " Vivian , you're glowing ! " a colleague teased . " Is there a wedding in your future? " Chapter 23
