Someone recognized Sienna and eximed in surprise : " Bloody hell , that''s Sienna Carroll ! Why on earth would you bring her here ? " Sienna''s online defamation campaign against Thalia and her orchestration of cyber harassment had be quite notorious . Many wealthy young Londoners who hadn''t previously known Sienna had be familiar with her through that scandal . At the mention of " Sienna Carroll , " Asher looked up .

" Ronan nodded eagerly , his face stered with an ingratiating smile . " Absolutely , I''ll take care of it properly . Please don''t be upset , Mr. ckwood .

Though she understood rationally , her longing for Asher grew stronger each day , impossible to suppress . Initially , she had sent him messages every few days , but Asher never replied to a single one . Eventually , she stopped sending them . She could only inquire about his recent activities and whereabouts through mutual friends .

Apparently , Thalia was recovering there . Lucia went to the hospital , hoping to " identally " run into Asher . Unfortunately , Asher never appeared during her visits .

" Did you need something , Mr. Lysander ? " Thalia asked . " Not me , " Rupert replied . " It''s Lena . She wants to invite you to dinner with Lucy .
I came to ask if you''re free , but I see you''re not . " Thalia paused .
