Chapter 330 – Mo Li, Lily And Fireflies
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
This was all Sienna's fault!
Scarlette clenched her jaw as she tried to hide her anger inside. She could only swallow all the resentment as she looked at Sienna, who giving everyone a motivational speech. What the hell is wrong with Sienna? She thought. Why would Sienna suddenly decide to come to this place? Why would she want to organize an event and why the hell would she bring Grant here?
Scarlette doesn't get it.
She had no information about Sienna and it is giving her a headache.
She lowered her head, pretending to feel hurt because of Grant's blunt words. However, she already knew that Grant wouldn't care about her. He was someone like that- always indifferent, always cold. He would say whatever it is that he wanted to say, without even thinking about the feelings of the surrounding people.
She hated it!
She clenched her hand, her nails scraping her palms.
No!
She needed to do something!
She refused to give up everything that she did just because she was scared of Sienna! Slowly, she lifted her head and looked at Amanda Bane. Despite wearing simple clothing, the woman looked dazzling as she typed something on her laptop. She was sitting at one of the tables in the front. Meaning, she would be presenting her software too!
But how come Nicholas told her that Amanda wouldn't join this event? She already did everything to bury this woman in this rotten place and yet…
Just the thought of Amanda working for Grant made her insides twist. She would never let that happen.
After a few more minutes, she found an excuse to leave to call Nicholas. If anyone could stop Amanda, it would be that man!
She was so busy scheming that she didn't notice Grant's eyes on her while she left the area. Almost immediately, Grant opened her phone and asked someone to follow Scarlette.
Grant wasn't aware of the things that happened next, as he just listened and watched as people started presenting their software. Slowly, time passed, and it was finally Amanda's turn.
In fact, Scarlette was right earlier. Amanda wasn't planning to join the event today. However, Grant convinced her to join. Grant said that this was the only way that he could legally offer her a job. Grant was sure that many people would look down on Scarlette just because she came from C University. So, he wanted her to win this competition, let her create a name for herself. Moreover, even if he already agreed to buy that software, he still wanted her name on it. Of course, he already made her promise not to accept the job that his sister would offer.
He was just planning to help her develop it.
Isn't it fun to work with someone as smart as you?
The thought of it made him giddy for some unknown reason.
…..
Amanda was able to finish her presentation without any mishap, which clearly surprised Sienna.
Earlier, she had spotted Scarlette next to Grant. Then she saw her leave just as she started her speech. She expected her to sabotage Amanda's presentation. That would have made it easier to find a way to get rid of that woman.
After a few more minutes, they finally declared that Amanda's project had the biggest potential, and she deserved the first prize. However, to everyone's surprise, Amanda didn't offer her a job under Rouse Tech.
"Why? I thought you wanted her to work for you?"
"She already made a deal with my brother," she answered the chairman.
"How did you— "
Grant didn't continue his words when he saw his sister smirk at him. That's right. They are talking about his sister, The Sienna Rouse. The company wouldn't really grow without Sienna's help. This was also another reason why Grant decided to start a company on his own. He didn't want anyone to say that his success was because of his sister.
After the event, Sienna let Grant stay at C University while she go back to the company. "So… Nicholas didn't help her?" she asked Jane.
"No. They had an argument. It seems that Nicholas stopped helping her a long time ago. He was just feeding her wrong information while accepting her money." Jane answered. "I heard that recording. Honestly, I found it weird."
"Weird? How is it weird?"
"Nicholas was known for being… a hustler. He would do everything for money. He would not hesitate to sell his soul to the devil if he needed to. Why would he suddenly change his mind? From the information that I have gathered…"
"Jane…"
"Miss?"
"Have you heard about second male lead?"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand. Second male lead? Like the one in the movies?"
"Yep." She looked outside and marveled at the clean streets of the city. It was already three in the afternoon and the traffic wasn't so bad. It allowed her to appreciate this place. Of course, this was only natural as she wasn't the Sienna who grew up in this city. Sadly, she was only given a year to finish everything. She would have wanted to tour this world and visit some nice places, eat some food and watch fireflies? Wait… why did she suddenly think about fireflies?
She frowned as Mo Li's face appeared in her head.
Lily.
Mo Li.
And fireflies?
Isn't that weird?
There were simply no…
She gasped at the sudden onslaught of pain inside her head.
"Miss?"
She could hear Jane, but for some reason, she couldn't say anything. The pain in her head was preventing her from doing anything else.
"Miss?"
Fireflies.
She was seeing fireflies!
It felt like she… was watching them as they were released somewhere… in a river? Was that a sea? It looked like the fireflies were flying over a mirror or… water!
"Miss? I am going to take you to the hospital!"
Again, she heard Jane's words. And while she could have said no and told her to just drive her home, she didn't. She was too engrossed in that small piece of memory.. She didn't want to say anything, scared that her words would break the small vision that she had about fireflies.
