The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 459 - 460: Do You Know Deputy Mayor Lincoln?

Chapter 459: Chapter 460: Do You Know Deputy Mayor Lincoln?

The two of them bickered all the way, and by the time they arrived at the company, Sienna Johnson, to her dismay, was late. Although she didn’t need to clock in, she had always been disciplined, maintaining a record of punctuality for many years.

Sienna looked at the watch on her wrist, sighed, and said to the man beside her, "Since we got married, I’ve found myself being late more often. Before, even when I had a cold or fever, I insisted on coming to work. I feel like I’ve become lax."

Adrian Desmond disagreed. "You’re the Boss, and the Boss has the right to be late. If even the Boss doesn’t have this privilege, what’s the point?"

"That may be true, but..."

After she took over Eastminster Group, Sienna had vowed to be a diligent Boss, just like her father—conscientious and devoted to work. However, nowadays she found herself deviating more and more from this path, with many things slipping out of her control. The prime culprit was, of course, the man next to her.

Adrian often claimed that she had stormed into his life, turned his world upside down, and then left him high and dry. But wasn’t Adrian the same? He was like a tornado, forcefully entering her life and disrupting its rhythm.

"Love makes you slack off," Sienna whispered to herself.

Having had a daughter and now expecting another child, it was only now that Sienna and Adrian started feeling like they were truly in love. Everything felt so sweet. Having someone to accompany you and share your burdens meant you were no longer alone. At least there was someone thinking about you, loving you. No matter what happened, as long as you were together, that was all that mattered.

"What did you say?" Adrian didn’t quite catch that.

Sienna looked at him with a smile and said, "I said I’m so smitten with my handsome man, I’m neglecting my work."

"Oh, then neglect your work." Adrian’s expression suggested he was all too eager for Sienna to embrace this ’decadence’.

Sienna cupped his face, a solemn undertone in her voice. "...But I still have so much to do. I haven’t yet avenged my father, I have to take care of my grandmother and Samara, and I have to make Eastminster Group expand beyond Agaia and go global..."

Seeing his displeased expression, Sienna leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips, saying, "But that doesn’t stop me from loving you..."

"That’s more like it. Let me tell you, if you neglect me for work, I won’t let you off!"

"How could I dare? Mr. Desmond, are you going to cook lunch for me by hand again today?" Now that Adrian was back, Sienna could once again enjoy the food prepared by Adrian himself.

"Hmm, let’s have lunch together. I had a kitchen specially designed in the Cloudscape Building where we can cook both Oriental cuisine and Western food... Mrs. Desmond can order anything she wants. I’m quite good at cooking Abyanabad dishes. Do you want to try some?"

"What are some special dishes from Abyanabad?"

"Well, there’s coconut rice, which I quite like. It’s made by cooking rice in coconut milk, served with red chili sauce, green cucumbers, and fried small fish. This is the traditional Amwan ’coconut rice’ (Nasi Lemak), which people from Abyanabad often eat for breakfast. Moreover, there are many side dishes for coconut rice, including eggs, curry chicken, fried fish, and curry shrimp..."

"Sounds delicious. Let’s have coconut rice for lunch then," Sienna decided.

"Alright."

"Then, I’ll get going now."

"Okay."

But Adrian didn’t let go of her hand, leaving Sienna at a loss for words. The two of them had spent ten minutes just discussing what to have for lunch. If they continued this way, she might as well forgo work and go with Adrian to the Cloudscape Building opposite for lunch.

"Adrian, I need to leave now. How can I go if you’re holding on to my hand?" she reminded him.

"Okay."

Reluctantly, Adrian let go of Sienna’s hand. Sienna opened the car door, got out, exchanged greetings with some employees she encountered, put on a serious face, and headed straight for the elevator with her back straight.

This was a shrewd and capable businesswoman, a world away from the young woman who had just been nestled in his arms, coquettishly calling him ’brother’. He liked this coquettish young woman, and he also liked the strong President Johnson of Eastminster Group, who seemed capable of shouldering any burden.

"Head to the Cloudscape Building!"

"Yes, sir!"

Sienna took the elevator directly to her office, which was on the 21st floor of the group’s headquarters. The office was a full 15 square metres, circular in shape, and offered a panoramic view of half of Sileria City’s CBD Area.

When she arrived, Vivian Abbey and Tessa Harrington were working in an orderly manner.

"Sienna, you’re late."

Leanne Andrews was sitting in Sienna’s black leather chair, sipping tea and eating snacks leisurely. Sienna took off her ash-grey coat and said, "Shouldn’t you be asleep at this time? Why did you come to see me?"

Leanne was a screenwriter and lived a nocturnal life. She wouldn’t sleep until after midnight and usually wouldn’t get up before noon.

"Get up, move aside, that’s my chair!"

"So stingy. What’s the harm in letting me sit for a while?"

Leanne stood up reluctantly, sighing, "No wonder everyone wants to be a Boss. Not only can you show up late whenever you want, but even the chair is so comfortable."

When her tardiness was pointed out, Sienna felt a bit embarrassed. She explained, "There was traffic on the road today, and also, I’m pregnant."

"HEH HEH..."

"What does your ’HEH HEH’ mean?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to tell you that when I came up from the underground garage just now, I saw Sixth Master’s Red Flag brand car. You and Sixth Master are certainly all over each other, aren’t you? So much affection!"

Sienna was a bit embarrassed and fell silent.

"Pfft... a Red Flag brand car is hardly impressive." Leanne was diverted from the topic. "Can’t you get Sixth Master to change his car?"

"Why should he change it? That car is very comfortable."

"But it’s so old-fashioned! Even if we don’t go for a sports car, we should at least get a Benz, or at the very least a Volkswagen. A Red Flag brand car... Oh, my Lady Gaga... It’s too disillusioning... This doesn’t fit the image of our cool, domineering, stylish Sixth Master at all... Sienna, it’s one thing for you to be so stingy, but why have you turned our Sixth Master—who could easily be the leading man in a romance drama—into such a dork?"

"..."

"Give me back my Sixth Master!"

Sienna explained seriously, "There are only six Red Flag brand cars in Sileria City. The Municipal Party Committee has one, the Disciplinary Inspection Committee has two, the Publicity Department has one, Sileria City’s real estate tycoon has one, and Adrian has one. Regardless of whether it’s old-fashioned or not, at least the Red Flag brand car is very practical as an ’official car’. When we go out, we rarely get stopped for inspections, which is very convenient!"

"So the Red Flag brand car has that use." Leanne exclaimed in realization. "I’m going to write this into my script."

"Did you come to see me so early in the morning because you needed something?"

Leanne Andrews gave Sienna her chair back and pulled another chair over for herself, eager to gossip. "Do you know Deputy Mayor Lincoln?"
