Accidentally Yours, Mr. Stranger-Chapter 97 - 8. Knock out - Part 1

"What do we have here?" Nick said loud enough for everyone else to hear him, and the three others joined them as well.

The man’s eyes widened in horror, and he stared hard at Nick, wishing for his phone to shatter into pieces. They couldn’t allow them to answer the call. They couldn’t. Otherwise...

His blood ran cold, and a chill went down his spine when he thought of repercussions. His entire body froze, and he broke into a sweat. He dreaded to think what would happen if their secret were out.

Struggling with all his might, he fought against the ties that bound him to the chair. But the knot was too tight, and he cursed under his breath.

"Give me back my phone," he spat, trying to free his limbs. But the knot around them only became tighter the more he moved.

"Looks like we may have found something," Nick mumbled and answered the call without delay, pressing the record button while Kelsey recorded a video of the whole call.

Justin and Gary covered the men’s mouths, not allowing even a mewl to escape their lips.

The men’s eyes widened in terror when they saw how meticulous the four were. They didn’t forget any detail, ensuring there wouldn’t be any slip up in the future.

What smart brains!

"Hey, why did you answer the call so late? I was getting worried for no reason," the man on the other side said, and Nick looked at his friends, who were listening to the call intently.

"Did you find anything? What happened today? Did you find anything useful?" the man on the other side asked.

The men were close to crying, and they struggled to speak. But Justin and Gary made it impossible for them.

Not suspecting anything, the man on the other side of the call continued speaking.

"Hey, why aren’t you speaking? Hey..." The man went silent immediately, and the call was hung up immediately after.

"He knows now," Nick said, giving the two men a look.

Justin and Gary let go of the two men, but not before confiscating the other man’s phone.

"Should we check their phones?" Justin asked, glaring at the two men who cowered under his gaze.

"Why not? Let’s save Kyrell and Miss Lawrence some time. Moreover, we have nothing to do for some time," Gary suggested, and immediately after, they unlocked the two men’s phones and went through them carefully.

"They have caught, Miss Lawrence," Kyrell informed, reading the message Kelsey had sent him.

Sienna nodded in appreciation while she suppressed her discomfort. Her thighs were killing her. But she didn’t show any pain on her face, remaining as indifferent as ever.

"Miss Lawrence, good morning," Esme entered the office and greeted her.

"Good morning, Esme. How’s the thing I asked you to handle going?"

"It’s going well, Miss Lawrence. There will be updates soon."

"Good. You did a good job yesterday. I apologize for troubling you on the weekend."

"It’s fine, Miss Lawrence. It was an easy task," Esme brushed off the matter lightly. fгeewebnovёl.com

"I have another task for you today, and it’s complicated," Sienna said, drafting an email to Simon.

"Yes, Miss Lawrence?"

"I want you to spread some other news. I’ll send you the details. Release the news just before the meeting with the shareholders starts."

"Yes, Miss Lawrence."

"Has everyone arrived?" Sienna asked, darting a discreet glance at Amy, who understood her intentions immediately.

"Yes, Miss Lawrence. They are waiting for you."

"Good."

Pressing her tongue against her cheek, Sienna sent a quick text to Brendon.

Sienna: Have you arrived, Mr. Curtis?

Brendon: Soon. There seems to be an accident outside your company.

Sienna thought of the men following her and pursed her lips thoughtfully. ’Perhaps, it was them,’ she thought, her eyes gleaming with a killing intent.

Sienna: I’ll be in the meeting room. My secretary, Esme, will receive you.

Brendon: Okay.

"Esme, Mr. Curtis will be arriving soon. Please bring him to the meeting room," Sienna informed, and Esme nodded.

Esme was the only one in the company who knew who the new CFO was. She was still astonished and in awe to think that Sienna had managed to convince Brendon to be the CFO.

Who didn’t know the man? He was a genius investor, and quite a lot of companies had been vying to hire him. But they had been unsuccessful. Brendon was difficult to deal with, and he had made it clear time and again that he worked for no one. He preferred to be on his own.

How did Sienna persuade him?

Giddy with excitement, Esme went down to receive Brendon while Sienna and Kyrell went to the meeting room.

Everybody had arrived and was waiting for her. When they saw her, they stood up immediately in greeting.

Sienna took her seat first, and Kyrell sat diagonally behind her, watching everyone vigilantly. The man’s eyes were so sharp and deep that some of the people who had been scrutinizing him moved their gazes away instantly, their hearts almost leaping out of their chests in fright.

Simon sat in the chair on Sienna’s left. Now, there were two other seats left.

Everyone sat straight, waiting to see who the two top executives would be. Many eyes moved to Herbert Stanley, who at that moment was scowling lightly.

Nobody, not one person, thought that Simon was the COO. They assumed he was Sienna’s assistant.

"Hello, everyone. I see that everyone is excited and curious," Sienna addressed the crowd, ignoring Herbert, whose frown seemed to deepen as time passed.

"Before we begin, I have some important announcements to make," she said and leaned back on her chair, looking like a queen on the throne.

"First, Miss Esme Collins will be taking over as my assistant."

Although Esme had already begun working for Sienna, they had assumed she was now her secretary. They never expected her to become Sienna’s assistant.

What happened to Simon Brown then?

Everybody’s eyes fell on Simon, who at that moment was smiling faintly. From his expression, they couldn’t make out anything.

"Next, you already know that the Lawrence Group has bought a Production House and we will soon be shooting a movie."

The news came as a surprise to them, especially Nemaan Whitmore’s involvement in the movie. They had never expected Sienna to make such an amazing move.

"Mr. Edward Jones will be in charge of the operations of the Production House."

Now, this was surprising. Edward jumped from being Travis’s assistant to managing a Production House. What kind of luck did he have?

"Now, about the CFO and COO."

Sienna smiled suddenly, and everybody held their breaths, especially Herbert.

"Let’s welcome our new Chief Operations Officer, Mr. Simon Brown."
