CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: WHAT TRICKS DID SEBASTIAN PRESCOTT USE? (REVISED)

Sienna Monroe’s originally calm face showed a trace of surprise in her bright, serene eyes when she heard his last sentence.

She really didn’t understand what kind of trick Sebastian Prescott had pulled that made both June Ewing and Caleb Sinclair believe that it was Carla who reported them.

"But with the two stores on the same street and in the same industry, conflicts are inevitable."

Caleb Sinclair nodded, "We can only try to avoid it as much as possible."

Sienna Monroe thought to herself, today is the opening day, the beauty salon is sure to be busy...

"Since it’s the opening today, I’ll also go over to send a few bouquets and join in the fun."

"No way!" Caleb Sinclair rejected, "With so many people today, in case..."

"I’m not a porcelain doll." Sienna Monroe put down the spoon, looking unhappy, "Are you going to stop me from going here or there throughout my entire pregnancy? Otherwise, I won’t be pregnant!"

Caleb Sinclair quickly said, "I didn’t mean that, it’s just that, according to online, the first three months are the most crucial."

In the end, he chose to compromise seeing her displeased expression, "Fine, go, if you want to, then go, but you can’t drive yourself. I’ll take you."

"Don’t you need to go to the company?"

"I’ll go after I drop you off."

"Then you might as well let the driver take me, I still have to go to the art gallery this afternoon. You can’t come pick me up again then, right? That’s too much trouble."

Caleb Sinclair laughed, "Alright, you’re more thoughtful, wife. I’ve already arranged for the flower baskets, someone will deliver them in the morning, so don’t worry about it. Be sure to stay safe, okay?"

"Mm, got it."

Around ten o’clock, the driver dropped her off at the beauty salon. Through the car window, she could already see the hustle and bustle of the shop today.

Because Carla was also holding an event today, the area seemed particularly crowded, with many luxury cars stopping and moving around.

June Ewing was at the entrance greeting the ladies, busy as can be. She had just instructed the manager to personally escort someone, and when she turned around, she saw Sienna Monroe.

Immediately, she walked up to her and took her by the arm, "Walk slowly, walk slowly. Tell me, you’re pregnant, what’s the point in coming over? You should just rest at home."

Sienna Monroe was taken aback, "Mom, you knew?"

"Caleb called me half an hour ago and said you found out you were pregnant just yesterday," June Ewing said, smiling happily. "If I weren’t so tied up today, I would have flown right to you."

"Any symptoms at all?"

Sienna Monroe shook her head, "Not yet."

"Even so, don’t let your guard down. Morning sickness can come on all of a sudden."

June Ewing looked at her with increasing warmth in her eyes. Just then, someone called out to her, and she nodded in response, patting Sienna Monroe’s arm. "There are a lot of people downstairs. You can’t afford to be bumped right now. Go upstairs to my office and take a rest. I’ll find you after I’m done, the code is 166398."

"Okay."

A strange tension welled up inside Sienna Monroe.

Once inside the elevator, she took a deep breath, a thin layer of sweat forming in her palms. She clenched and unclenched her hands as she walked to the door of June Ewing’s office, entered the code, and pushed the door open.

The door to June Ewing’s office was secured by a fingerprint and password system, known only to her, so not even Clara Shaw, the manager of the beauty salon, could easily enter.

Therefore, there were no cameras inside, and she didn’t have to worry about being caught on film.

Sienna Monroe closed the door, walked straight to the desk, and retrieved a small bunch of keys from an artistic white ornament. The keys were small, four in total.

She crouched down and tried each key on the second drawer.

On the third try, the lock finally turned and opened.
