Two days later

  "Miss, Young master Grant agreed to let Mr. Hou work for him and Miss Bane."

  "Wonderful." But… what's this?

  "Young Master Grant gave me this coffee. He said you liked it a lot."

  Sienna said nothing for a few seconds. She only had a year to solve this issue. She needed to rush things a little. "You said that Grant and Amanda are working just fine, right?"

  Jane nodded in response.

  "What do you think about the two of them?"

  "Hmmm…. They are quite compatible. Both are smart and hardworking. Miss Bane is indeed the right assistant for the young master."

  "What about something… more than being an assistant?"

  "Hm?"

  Sienna clarified. "I meant… as lovers."

  "Lovers? Hmmm… With all due respect miss, do you want an honest answer?"

  "Tell me." Sienna smiled.

  "I think the Young Master is ready to look at other women."

  "What does that mean?" She didn't know that Grant had an ex-girlfriend before? Moreover, male leads were mostly pure and innocent in the love department. She thought of the plot then recalled that her system is really bad at giving plots.

  "Miss… I have been working with you for years now. I am just a lowly secretary. I know that I don't have the right to tell you my thoughts but since you asked for it then… I… I want to tell you my observations."

  Sienna lifted an eyebrow. It seems that her secretary was really sharp.

  "First, Young Master Grant might be in love with you."

  "Huh?"

  A thick suffocating silence followed Jane's words.

  What's with the twist? Sienna immediately rummage into the original body's memory and so far, she didn't say anything amiss. Sienna didn't even look at her own brother! She was busy with the business and had no time to join some family events.

  As previously noted, Sienna was working hard to impress her father so she had no time to think about anything else other than the family business.

  "Please let me clarify."

  "Please do," Sienna said. This is really confusing. The previous Sienna was clueless about this.

  "Young Master Grant only did things to impress you, to get your attention."

  "Hm?" That… wasn't included in the summary? 'Robot, you ass!' she thought inwardly. So, it was actually a brother with a sister complex? This is getting more and more intriguing. "You know that saying the word love is different, right? You could say that he admired my work ethics and even my brain." She pointed at her temple. "Maybe he thought I am just a smart woman?"

  That should be a possibility, right?

  Smart people admire each other. They don't have the time to envy someone. They usually appreciate other smart people!

  "Miss, during the young master's twentieth birthday, I heard him mutter that he liked you. Moreover, I also knew that he had been doing some things behind your back."

  "Expound!" She needed a clear explanation!

  "First, I am aware that he paid the front desk manager not to inform you about any flowers that were from an individual."

  "…"

  "Second, he knew your favorite coffee, color, bag, shoes, and jewelry. He even knew your favorite flower and perfume."

  "How did you know that?"

  "When you fainted in X country, he arrived with all of your clothes, vitamins, and other stuff. All of them were from your favorite brands too."

  "…" The original Sienna didn't even remember this incident! Lily wanted to slap her own forehead. Her knowledge was just limited from the memories of the previous Sienna! How infuriating!

  "Third, he always sent a gift on your birthday even if you never bothered to open them. He never failed to send something."

  "I always open his gift."

  "Not the official gift. I saw him give you a gift using an unmarked box. I knew I needed proof and I knew that you don't open unmarked gifts so I keep everything."

  "You did?" Surprise flashed in her eyes. It seems that her secretary is really smart! At least she was more dependable than her system!

  'I heard that' Bee uttered inside her.

  "Well, I can give them to you if you like?"

  After a few minutes, Jane came back with three boxes. One box was full of velvet boxes and the other's cards.

  "The cards… I am not certain if it's from the young master. However, all of them have the same penmanship, they are sent on the same occasions which is your birthday, Christmas, new year, and valentines day. There were also congratulatory cards for every achievement that the company had.

  Alright, isn't this something that a stalker would do? Sienna sighed inwardly. She slowly opened the first velvet box which was only about the size of her palm. Staring at the necklace, Sienna frowned. "What's this?" she was talking about the pendant. It was… some sort of flower.

  "Ah… that is… a Lily."

  "A Lily?" Interesting.

  "Yes. County Z calls that flower Lily. It should have other names in other countries. That's my mother's favorite flower so I am quite familiar with them."

  Sienna nodded. How weird.

  She looked at the date that it was sent.

  Two years ago.

  Next, she opened another then another… and another…


  Soon, she realized that all of the gifts were pieces of jewelry, all with the same theme.

  Lily.

  Now, this is getting weirder and weirder.

  A sigh escaped her lips. How troublesome. Clearly, this wasn't love. It was just a simple admiration. Maybe Grant thought that showing this side of him is really awkward. After all, they were never close in the first place. "Alright… tell Grant to meet me at Caliope mall at seven tonight. Tell him to bring Amanda."

  "Eh?"

  Sienna gestured for her secretary to leave her alone. She needed to do something about Grant and Amanda. And since the two are taking too slow to develop on their own, she is going to help them.

  Hm?

  For some reason, she suddenly thought about kidnapping them and keeping them in a locked room together.

  How weird.

  For some reason, it felt like she had already done something like this before?
