"You're Wanda's friend. Helping you is the least I can do," Daniel said with a forced, bitter smile. "Besides, with her skills, she could help you too."
Sienna felt a pang of disappointment. Deep down, she still had lingering feelings for him and held onto hope. After their abrupt breakup a year ago, she should've known her place. She wondered why she still harbored fantasies about Daniel. She wanted to slap herself for her foolishness.
"Thank you," she replied faintly, then immediately shut the door. She locked it, leaned against the door, and stared ahead, her vision blurred by tears. She didn't want her troubles to dampen Mila's wedding joy.
On the wedding day, Sienna couldn't resist Mila's persistent pleas and ended up being her bridesmaid. Mila, in her stunning white wedding gown and exquisite makeup, looked like a beloved princess. She walked arm-in-arm with Nathan through the romantic garden—surrounded by flowers, green trees, and a lush natural lawn—with petals dancing in the air. The scene was incredibly romantic.
The guest list was small, consisting of only close family, friends, and professional partners. Every face was beaming with happiness. Mila and Nathan recited their vows, their eyes glistening with emotion. Nathan, brimming with excitement, declared, "Chubs, I finally get to marry you." At that moment, both were teary-eyed. In front of their loved ones, they exchanged rings and kissed. Their wedding was simple and refined, without any tacky emcees or silly games.
Nathan's best man was his new assistant, Dominic Youngblood. He was only 23, four years younger than Sienna. He was youthful and handsome.
After the ceremony, the reception began. Mila changed into a beautiful evening gown and joined everyone for food and drinks while getting well wishes from the guests. At the other end of the lawn, a music stage played soothing piano melodies. Sienna sat at a table, enjoying the buffet.
"You look beautiful today, Sienna," a man's voice said. Turning, she saw Dominic holding a cocktail, his smile warm and eyes friendly.
"Wanda said you're 23, so I'm four years older than you. Shouldn't you call me Ms. Lawson?" Sienna replied casually.
Taking a seat beside her, Dominic continued the conversation. "So, you and Mrs. Morrison talked about me?"
Sienna was surprised by the implication in his words. After a brief pause, she decided to brush it off and focused on her food.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Dominic asked.
"No," Sienna answered shortly.
"I don't have a girlfriend, either. Do you mind dating younger men?" Dominic whispered boldly in her ear.
Sienna felt her ears heat up and quickly pulled away. While a confession from someone she cared for might be delightful, this sudden advance from a stranger felt intrusive.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
"I don't like younger men," she said, making an excuse to reject him.
Dominic leaned closer, his eyes intense, voice husky. "How would you know if you don't try?"
Over the years, Sienna had dealt with many suitors and had perfected her methods of rejection. Setting down her utensils and wiping her mouth with a napkin, Sienna put on a charming smile. Leaning toward Dominic, she reached out and grabbed his tie, pulling him closer with a hint of intimacy. Her clear, expressive eyes locked onto his.
