At the time, he hadn't given it much thought, but now, in light of the recent rumors, it took on a whole new meaning.

Early in the morning, David lay in his bed, his thoughts consumed by the events of the past few days. He hadn't had a proper conversation with Sienna since they spent that passionate night together. He had so much he wanted to say to her, but he knew she wouldn't listen. Before he even had a chance to enjoy his morning coffee, his phone buzzed, interrupting his thoughts. It was his assistant, Paul. David frowned, well aware that Paul wouldn't dare call him this early unless it was urgent. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for whatever news awaited him, and answered the call.

Sienna Hamilton must be up to something."Her mind raced, conjuring up images of Sienna and David together, laughing and enjoying themselves like a real family. The thought was unbearable.Jessica hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't know. All I can tell you is what I saw. They seemed... happy. He didn’t even notice my presence at all.
