The Wrong Woman

Sienna thought she was usually open-minded, but Daniel had a way of making her feel overwhelmed.

She looked down bashfully and muttered, "I'd rather not talk about this anymore."

Daniel smiled affectionately at her and gently patted her head. "Have you had dinner?"

Sienna glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already after 9:00 pm. She had cooked dinner around 7:00 pm, waiting for him to come home. Unexpectedly, she ended up falling asleep for over two hours. She wasn't feeling hungry anymore.

"I've lost my appetite," Sienna said as she stood up from his lap and moved to the couch. With a serious expression, she picked up the black box and the phone from the table. "Daniel, we need to talk." Daniel sat up straight, leaning in toward her with a solemn expression.

Sienna passed the items to Daniel and explained, "A man named Clement Russo gave me this fancy set of diamond jewelry and a phone as a bribe."

Daniel accepted the jewelry box, opened it, and examined the diamonds closely. "If these diamonds are real, they're likely worth about a hundred thousand. The phone doesn't seem as valuable." Sienna added softly, "This was just his gift for our first meeting. But if I agree, he's willing to offer me millions more."

"Clement Russo?" Daniel's voice turned serious.
