"No, I''m good," Sienna huffed. She chomped down on her apple with a loud crunch and chewed vigorously.


    "Oh,e on, join me and check it out. You never know; I mightnd a small part," Felix urged.


    He fixed his meticulously groomed hair. He brimmed with excitement as if he was on the verge of stardom at any moment.


    Sienna red at him. "I''m not going. Is it that hard to understand?"


    "Are you suddenly going through menopause, or did you eat something spicy?" Felix muttered.


    He dashed out of the house before Sienna could hurl her apple at him.


    Sienna couldn''t resist any longer. She reached for her phone and considered calling Daniel herself. With him not reaching out, she felt it was time to take matters into her own hands.


    Just as she was about to dial, an iing call interrupted her, causing her to jump at the sudden ringing. When she saw Daniel''s caller ID sh across the screen, a jolt of nerves surged through her.


    Setting down her apple, she cleared her throat andposed herself before answering his call. She called out softly, "Daniel."


    Daniel''s charming voice came through from the other end of the line. "Sienna, I''m downstairs at your ce. Come down for a moment. I''m waiting for you in the car."


    "What''s up?" she asked.


    "I''ll tell you when you get down here."


    "Okay." Sienna swiftly grabbed her keys, slipped on her shoes, and hurried downstairs.


    After descending the stairs, Sienna nced around the area. Not seeing anyone she recognized, she promptly got into the passenger seat of Daniel''s car.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    As she turned, she noticed Daniel leaning over, adjusting her seat to a lower position.


    "What''s going on?" Sienna asked, ncing at her seat and then back at him. Her seat now felt ufortably low.


    Daniel ced both hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her back into the seat.


    "Daniel, you-"


    Sienna''s words were cut short as Daniel unexpectedly leaned in and kissed her deeply. She was still trying toprehend what was happening.


    With his hands gripping the seat for support, Daniel''s kiss overflowed with passion and intensity. It engulfed Sienna like an unstoppable storm. Caught off guard, Sienna tensed up nervously. Her heart raced, and she couldn''t help but let out shy whimpers.


    Daniel''s longing for her seemed


    bottomless, like a traveler desperate for water stumbling upon an oasis after centuries of dryness. His kiss left herpletely vulnerable, and her mind nked.


    When Sienna was almost out of breath, Daniel reluctantly stopped.


    As the heat inside the car rose, they both felt a warmth spreading through them, stirring up something deep inside.


    Daniel locked eyes with Sienna, his voice husky as he asked, "Have you been snacking on apples? You taste so deliciously sweet." Sienna responded shyly with a hum.


    Daniel couldn''t resist giving her a peck on her red lips. "I''ve missed you, Sisi."


    Sienna''s cheeks reddened further at the affectionate nickname. She couldn''t look directly at him.


    "You didn''t reach out for two days. I was worried you''d forgotten about me," Sienna muttered.


    Daniel tenderly touched her cheek and exined, "I was on an important mission where I couldn''t bring my phone or contact anyone. But came straight to you as soon as treturned."


    Sienna grasped the nature of his work but struggled to understand why he hadn''t informed her beforehand. "Why didn''t you tell me about the mission before you left?"


    Daniel watched her lips move as she spoke, finding her voice alluring. He couldn''t resist the urge and leaned in slowly, wanting to kiss her again.


    "My phone was confiscated right


    before I got the mission briefing. Once I was briefed, I couldn''t


    contact anyone. If any information


    about the mission leaked, it would''ve caused seriousplications."


    "Okay, I got it. So, you''re not busy now?" Sienna asked gently.
