Fake Heiress Real Trouble (Sienna) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156

The messages were short and to the point.

Mason called her twice, got no answer, and just asked if she was busy.

The last one, sent fifteen minutes ago, was him telling her to give him a call when she was free.

Sienna stared at Mason’s name for a few seconds before finally tapping the button to call him back.

The instant the phone started ringing, he answered.

“Sienna.” Mason’s voice came through, low and intimate.

His tone was still deep and magnetic, but there was a trace of barely concealed urgency.

Sienna’s long lashes fluttered as she replied softly, “Mm.”

“Are you still busy?” Mason’s voice sounded gentler, a bit hesitant.

That simple question made something in Sienna flutter. “Just finished up,” she replied softly.

After four years with the Fairbank family, Sienna had gotten used to always being wrapped up in her own world, taking care of things alone.

Honestly, whether she showed up at home or not, nobody in the Fairbank family would even notice.

With the passage of time, a habit took root.

She found herself alone in her busyness, the constant in her life.

Once she dove into work, checking her phone was the last thing on her mind.

“Are you hungry?” Mason’s voice got even smoother, a touch more tempting. “Want to go grab a bite?”

Before he even finished, Sienna’s stomach answered for her with an embarrassingly loud growl.

‘Perfect timing…‘ Sienna thought, wishing Mason hadn’t heard that.

She hadn’t noticed anything while she was working–being busy always drowned everything out.

But the moment she relaxed, the hunger hit her all at once.

“Yeah,” Sienna admitted softly. “I’m hungry.”

“Come downstairs,” Mason’s low, lazy laugh was almost hypnotic. “Let me treat you to something good.”

Her heart skipped again, snared by that alluring laugh of his.

Her fingers tightened unconsciously around her phone.

Sienna pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth, hesitating for a moment. “How did you know where I was?”

Mason sighed, but the fondness in his voice could be heard. “Well, you didn’t answer my calls or reply to any of my texts, and it’s past ten and you still weren’t home. I started worrying something might’ve happened, so… I ended up tracking your driver’s car”

Why do I suddenly feel so awkwardly guilty?‘ Sienna thought. She said softly, “I’ll be right down.”

With that, she hung up.

Back in the studio, Sienna took off her work apron and let her eyes settle on the two mannequins standing in the center of the room.

The outlines of two evening gowns were already taking shape.

One red, one pink–both so striking it was impossible to look away.

The red dress, crafted exactly to Mason’s original vision, featured shimmering, subtle patterns woven into the fabric. The bold, angular cut oozed designer flair and sophistication.

Beside it was the backup gown made just for Sophie, tender and sweet like a pink blossom poised to open. Every little detail captured the dreamy innocence of a girl’s first fairy tale.

At first glance, the two dresses seemed to share the same design concept, yet their styles couldn’t be more different. Even in their raw, unfinished state, they already looked like true works of art.

Mavis’s voice shook with excitement. “Sienna, no wonder you’re the legendary designer–Aeris!”

“I’ve got stuff to do, so you guys handle things here,” Sienna said, setting her apron aside and giving instructions. “Red dress first–start hand–sewing the embellishments right by the blueprint. I’ll check these myself tomorrow. The pink one, I’ll sort out the details when I’m back. Let’s move fast–two days to get these finished.”

As soon as her words landed, groans and dramatic moans broke out all over the studio.

The superstar team of tailors looked utterly miserable, wailing like they’d just been assigned mission impossible.

Sienna arched an eyebrow. “Finish these dresses, and your bonuses for this month will double.”

“Sienna, you’re the best!” Instantly, the studio exploded in excited cheers.

Sienna turned and walked out of the studio.

Mavis stood there gawking in disbelief as Sienna left without so much as a backward glance.

She knew Sienna was a total workaholic.

Once she stepped into the studio, there was no chance she’d set foot outside the company until every last detail was flawless.

Chapter 156

But this was literally the first time Sienna had ever left her work unfinished and walked out first.

She even left work for tomorrow!

Who on earth is out there?‘ Mavis wondered, her mind spinning.

Who could be so important that Sienna actually left her work unfinished?

I’m itching to run after her and see for myself what’s out there! Mavis thought restlessly. ‘Seriously, what could be more important than work?‘

Melvin and his group kept waiting for quite a while,

By now, they were exhausted and starving, with zero energy left.

Just when it felt like nobody in the group could endure much longer, Melvin was the first whose mind started drifting to throwing in the towel.

Suddenly, Melvin spotted someone he knew stepping out from the headquarters‘ main entrance.

Sienna was there, dressed down in a plain white tee and long pants, a worn canvas bag on her shoulder. The city lights hit her cool, striking features–so stunning it was almost unreal.

Melvin’s eyes went wide. “That’s Sienna!” he blurted, excitement flooding his voice.

His energy shot up. He yanked open the car door, practically jumping out. “Quick, everyone out! Let’s go!”

Just as Melvin grabbed the door handle, Jessica’s voice cut through the air with a dramatic gasp. “Whoa, hold up… Who’s that over there?”

Jessica’s eyes were practically popping out of her head as she stared, completely scandalized. “Wait, is Sienna seriously someone’s sugar baby now? That guy picking her up looks even older than you, Dad!”

Melvin froze, his hand still on the door.

Right in front of Yara Bloom headquarters, Sienna was heading toward a black Porsche.

An older, grizzled man with gray hair, who looked at least fifty, got out to greet her.

Then, without hesitation, Sienna climbed into his car.

Hazel’s face twisted with disgust as she snapped, “I knew that girl was always trouble. Back when she found out Ernest was part of the Grant family, she clung to him for dear life. Now the Fairbanks won’t have her, Ernest’s gone, and look at her–she’s stooped to being some old guy’s side piece!”

Lawrence sneered, pure disgust on his face. “She’s that hungry, huh? Even an old dude is good enough for her now? She’ll really do anything for cash!”

Melvin’s face turned stormy in an instant.

‘Seriously…if Sienna wanted a sugar daddy, fine, whatever.

Chapter 156

‘With all those trust fund kids running around, she could’ve hooked up with any one of them and played the part of a girlfriend. That’s miles better than being some old guy’s kept woman.

‘Does she not feel embarrassed at all?‘ Melvin thought, almost grinding his teeth.
