Chapter 189 Chapter 189 âAre you sure you want to do this?â
After a restless night, I was getting ready for work when Bright requested me hesitantly.
âPlease reconsider your decision, Laura. I didnât mean to indulge you in my troubles. You are already stuck in your responsibilitiesâ
Bright had seen me instructing Echo on cell phone about work and packing Jane and Zoeâs snacks simultaneously, so he felt bad about weighing me down with a new issue. I wore earrings after completing my kitchen work and bent to cup his face.
âOh, my goodness!
Why are you so dramatic? And what do you mean by your troubles? There are just our issues in our relationship, Bright.
Let me take this off your plate. I am here for youâ
Just like he stood by my side like a mountain of courage, I reciprocate his love with my feeble attempts, promising him âTrust me, Bright. I will definitely figure out something. Please take rest and recover smoothly.
It will be more than enough for meâ
His glassy eyes warmed my spirit as I kissed his forehead, my little angels joined us at that very moment.
âLook, mommy is kissing our daddy. We also want a kiss, mommyâ
This contenting, heartwarming moment with my loved ones filled me with determination. After bidding farewell to my family, I set out on my mission âfinding Siennaâ.
My hopes were high to fix a meeting with her in private, as my name was well known in the business community. I ordered my staff to look for her personal contact information. Our issue wasnât an ordinary one, so I would rather not ruin it for Bright.
However, my hope castle was on the verge of shattering until lunchtime, as after searching for hours, the response of my team was the same.
âSorry, Miss Laura. We couldnât find Miss Siennaâs phone numberâ
As the Lockwood heiress was a fresh Howard graduate, she returned to the Lakon city not long ago, her details werenât public yet. This failure was the first hurdle in my way to solve our matters, but I took it as our lucky charm and decided to go to her office.
After all, I gave my word to my fiancé in the morning!
I called all my meetings off after lunch and reached the majestic building of Lockwood industries, the magical ambiance of that place left me awestruck. A luxury office space was designed to be impressive, its ceilings, lots of natural light and distinctive architectural style was timeless, classic, and contemporary. I couldnât help but feel envious about the wealth of the Lockwood family, even their offices had a grand façade.
Admiring the delicate glass work, I went to talk to the receptionist. She greeted me with a formal smile.
âWelcome to the Lockwood industries!
How may I help you today?â
I took out my visiting card for the introduction and asked politely.
âI am here to see Miss Sienna. Is she in her office?â
The receptionist ran my card on the computer, and apologized.
âI am sorry, maâam. You arenât on the visit list. Unauthorized visitors arenât allowed to meet herâ
âI know, but itâs an emergency. Itâs cardinal to see her todayâ
I spoke impatiently, pleading for some leniency despite being aware of the consequences of my unannounced arrival. An appointment was always the key to approach a big shot in the business circle, so my height of unprofessionalism wasnât appreciated a bit. The receptionist asked me to wait.

Chapter 189 âI canât promise anything, Maâam. But you are welcome to wait. I will inform you if any opportunity opens for youâ
Thanking her for this exception, I sat on the sofa in the lounge and started working on my phone to kill time, praying in my heart for success.
During my stay, I noticed that reception was downstairs with the offices on upper floors respectively, roughly sketching the room of Sienna. Every passing second was making me nervous. From what I had seen in pictures, she was an outstanding maiden with matchless beauty, convincing her to break the engagement with dream bachelor would be a difficult task for sure The minutes turned into hours, and I was still waiting patiently, hopeful to be adjusted in the schedule before the off time.
Meanwhile, I caught the whiff of two employees gossip that Miss Sienna spared one hour in the end to windâup her work daily.
This news was like a gust of fresh breeze in suffocating silence, I was eagerly looking forward for a positive development.
Looking around curiously, I was tapping my foot on the floor when my phone rang, diverting my attention. It was a call from my office.
âJust a minute, and I will be backâ Thinking inwardly, I got up and walked out of the door after connecting the call, Echo informed me.
âThe price of our stocks are stable today, Miss Laura. Our investors are quite pleased with this current situationâ
This good news lifted my spirits, crossing a task from my list. I asked her to monitor the market until closing for a complete report. After dealing with my official call, I was about to turn to go when a sudden hold on my arm made me scream. I experienced a massive jump scare to feel someoneâs hand on mine.
âWho is this? Leave me!â
