His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 205: Don’t Play with Fire or You’ll Get Burned

Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Don’t Play with Fire or You’ll Get Burned

At noon, Amy Manning came to find Kiana Sutton for lunch.

Kiana was distracted while eating, and Amy looked at her, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn’t help asking, "Kiana, what’s going on between you and President Sinclair?"

Kiana looked at Amy in confusion.

Amy glanced around, then leaned toward Kiana and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I’ve seen you get out of President Sinclair’s car several times, and once I even saw him pull you back into the car to kiss you just as you got out."

Kiana: "..."

Ethan Sinclair had always done as he pleased, doing whatever he wanted. The time Amy mentioned, he had already kissed her all the way in the car. When they finally reached near Evercrest Group, she thought she was free and quickly got out of the car to breathe some fresh air.

She didn’t know what set him off that day, but he pinned her by the neck and kissed her again.

Unexpectedly, Amy had seen it.

Kiana was about to explain when Amy grabbed her hand, "No need to gesture, I understand everything."

Kiana was startled, "You understand? You already know?"

"Of course, it’s obvious. You’re so beautiful, always around President Sinclair. If he didn’t have some feelings for you, then could he still be a man? Besides, there are plenty of family scandals, like a cousin falling for his cousin’s wife. It’s not a big deal."

Kiana felt overwhelmed; things were really getting out of hand, and Amy’s imagination was getting wilder.

To prevent further misunderstandings, she gestured, "It’s not like that, actually..."

Amy held Kiana’s hand tightly to stop her from gesturing, her expression serious and earnest, "I understand. President Sinclair is handsome, in good shape, excellent, and charming. It’s normal for you to like him, but we can’t be involved in something like juggling two relationships at once. Let’s pretend I didn’t see anything that day, and I won’t tell anyone. But as a friend, I advise you to quickly draw a line with President Sinclair, or you’ll be playing with fire!"

Oh no, the misunderstanding had grown even worse.

Kiana anxiously wanted to explain, but Amy’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and answered, "Hello... yes... okay, I’ll be right over."

After hanging up, Amy patted Kiana on the shoulder, "Kiana, I have some business to attend to. Take care of yourself, and remember, don’t do anything reckless!"

With that, she left in a hurry, leaving Kiana speechless. She reached for her phone to send Amy a message to clear things up, only to see a message from Ethan Sinclair, "Come to my office immediately."

Kiana didn’t have time to think much and went straight to Ethan Sinclair’s office.

When she knocked and entered, Ethan was discussing seriously with Nathan Lawson, "Check whether the person buying scattered shares of the Evercrest Group and the one buying other directors’ shares is the same person."

Nathan nodded and left, and Ethan turned to Kiana, "Organize these documents and give them to me."

Kiana nodded in agreement.

As she took the documents and left, she noticed Ethan rubbing his temples in exhaustion.

He must not have eaten lunch yet, being so busy.

Kiana was about to take out her phone to order food for Ethan when the receptionist suddenly came in, holding a pink insulated lunch box, "Assistant Sutton, is President Sinclair in his office?"

Kiana wrote three words on a piece of paper, "Yes, anything?"

"This is a special lunch prepared by Miss Kate Lynch for President Sinclair, and she instructed that I personally hand it to him," the receptionist explained.

Kiana’s brows knit tightly.

Ethan always said she was cunning and manipulative, but his beloved Kate was the real master at it.

Even while she was lying in a hospital, tales of her circulated around Evercrest Group.

Now that she was awake, even though she couldn’t come to Evercrest Group, she would use this method to make everyone believe she and Ethan were the real couple.

Kiana felt a little uncomfortable, but she wouldn’t hold a grudge against food.

After all, if Ethan found out she intercepted the loving lunch from Kate Lynch, who knows how much he would detest her.

She nodded, and the receptionist knocked on Ethan’s door.

Shortly, she came out, leaving the lunch behind.

Kiana felt a pang of heartache only for a moment before burying herself in work.

The afternoon flew by, and she was so busy she didn’t even have time for a sip of water.

When people are busy, time passes quickly. By the time Kiana finished organizing the documents, it was already dark.

Then she noticed it wasn’t just her; many others were working overtime.

Kiana delivered the documents to the president’s office, and Ethan took them without even looking at her, simply saying, "You can go now."

Kiana glanced at the pink lunch box and silently left the president’s office.

The time for her meeting with Kate Lynch was approaching, so Kiana didn’t delay, grabbed her bag, and headed to the elevator, where she overheard Quentin Sinclair on the phone.

"Wasn’t the matter from three years ago handled cleanly? How could there be any traces left?"

Kiana’s heart tightened immediately, and she tucked herself into a corner to eavesdrop.

Three years ago?

Could it be related to the false accusations against her father?

"The Royalton Hotel? Okay... I got it, I’ll be right there."

The Royalton Hotel, and Quentin Sinclair was going there too.

Was it really just a coincidence that Kate Lynch also scheduled her meeting place at The Royalton Hotel?

The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor, and Kiana saw Quentin get in. She rushed in, pretending she had just arrived.

Quentin raised an eyebrow when he saw Kiana, "Secretary Sutton working overtime too tonight?"

Kiana nodded and retreated, saying nothing. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The elevator descended, pausing briefly on the fifteenth floor.

The doors opened, but no one entered, and Quentin pressed the close button.

As the doors were about to close, Amy burst out, "Hey, wait for me..."

But it was too late.

"Ah, just went to get a key and missed the elevator. But those two just now... seemed like Kiana and General Manager Sinclair."

The couple leaving work together, haha, how romantic.

While Kiana might lose herself, her true love is General Manager Sinclair. Hopefully, she’ll turn back and spend a happy life with him.

As Kiana and Quentin walked out of the Evercrest Group Building together, autumn rain was falling from the sky.

Quentin glanced at Kiana, smirking slyly, "Sister-in-law, in this rain, I should offer you a ride home as a brother-in-law, but sorry, I have important matters tonight, so you’ll have to make your own way home."

Kiana laughed coldly inside. This man never cared about her, so what was with the fake act today?

She shook her head with a smile, "No need, I’ll just take a cab."

"Alright, then we’ll... meet tomorrow..."

As Quentin left, he blew Kiana a mocking kiss, and Kiana frowned in disgust.

After Quentin left, Kiana hailed a cab and instructed the driver to follow Quentin’s car.
