Sienna's irritation became obvious as she confronted David. "So, let me get this straight. Is this the professionalism of Hendrix Technologies? You and your fiancée planned to share a room during a business trip?"David, sensing her anger, tried to defuse the situation. "Sienna, I assure you, I didn't know about this arrangement. Lyra must have booked the room without my knowledge."The receptionist, picking up on the tension between them, offered a suggestion."If it helps, the room you've been booked in is a VVIP suite and has a couch as well. You could use that for separate sleeping arrangements."David, relieved to have an alternative, nodded in agreement. "Yes, that sounds like a reasonable option. Sienna, would that be okay with you?"She sighed, realizing they had no other choice. "Fine, we'll make it work. But let's be clear, this is highly unprofessional."He empathized with her frustration.

The concierge agreed, and Lyra quickly dialed David's number. It rang several times but went unanswered. Her anger and jealousy intensified as she imagined Sienna and David together in the room, doing God knows what. Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she returned to the line with the concierge. "Connect me to the room," she demanded. The concierge hesitated but eventually agreed to put her through. After a few moments, the line clicked, and Sienna's voice came through the receiver. "Hello?" Lyra took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice steady. "This is Lyra Whitmore. I need to speak with David." Sienna could sense the

Sienna's cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson as her eyes widened, taking in the sight before her. An involuntary gasp escaped her lips, betraying her surprise. She quickly averted her gaze, trying to give him some privacy."I'm so sorry, David, I didn't mean to look," she stammered, her heart pounding in her chest from the unexpected sight.David hastily wrapped the towel around his waist again, his face also flushed with embarrassment."No, no, it's my fault.

Then, Sienna cleared her throat and broke the spell, whispering,"We shouldn't have done that."David nodded, guilt settling in his chest. "You're right. I'm sorry, Sienna. That was inappropriate, and I shouldn't have crossed that line."Despite her words, she couldn't deny the warmth that had spread through her at the touch of his lips. She knew she should be angry or resentful, considering their past and her hidden identity, but the truth was that the kiss had felt right, as if it was meant to happen."We need to focus on the summit," she said, trying to regain her composure and distract herself from the lingering feelings. "It’s still very early, but we have a lot to do today, and we can't let ourselv

Lyra's hands shook as she stared at the horrifying image, her breath catching in her throat. Panic surged through her, and she felt as if the walls were closing in. The room suddenly felt too small, too confining, and she struggled to breathe. Desperate for answers, she quickly dialed Cyrus's number, hoping that he would pick up and explain what was going on.

David sighed, and she could hear the turmoil in his voice. "Nothing happened, Lyra. We just talked, and she helped me through a rough night. That's all." Relief washed over her, but she couldn't shake the nagging feeling that there was more to the story. She decided to let it go for now, knowing that they had more pressing matters to attend to. "Alright. I just needed to hear it from you. Let's focus on our work. Good luck with your presentation." "Thanks," he replied, his voice softer now. "I'll see you when I get back." As she hung up the phone, Lyra felt a mix of relief and unease. She had gotten the answer she wanted, but deep down, she knew she couldn't ignore the growing concern that there was more to Sienna than met the eye. As for David, his heart was heavy with guilt and conflicting emotions. He couldn't help but replay the lie he had told Lyra, even though it wasn't entirely untrue.
