Chapter 638
Ever since she yelled at him that night, he genuinely hadn’t appeared without her consent.
But she knew he was there. She knew he was aware of her every move.
Every morning at the crack of dawn, Jarred would personally cook.
He would prepare a perfectly tailored breakfast and lay it out in the dining room.
Once done, he would quietly retreat to the first-floor windows, standing silently.
He would watch her distant figure from afar.
Only after confirming she had eaten without irritation would he dress and leave for work.
He meticulously avoided any interaction that might cause her discomfort.
Sienna saw through it all but said nothing.
She also knew that whenever she left, a pair of eyes was always following her.
She simply chose to ignore it.
The morning sun cut through the light mist, illuminating the courtyard foliage.
After finishing her meal, Sienna stepped out of the main house, ready to drive off.
The security team in the courtyard consisted of the usual faces, their familiar presence bringing her no alarm.
Her eyes landed on Alister, who stood at the front of the pack. He had been injured protecting her the other night, so she casually asked about him.
“Alister, how are your injuries? If you haven’t fully recovered, take some time off. Come back when you’re completely healed p>
Hearing this, Alister immediately stood at attention, shaking his head with profound gratitude.
“I’m fine, Ms. Sloan! I’m almost one hundred percent. It’s all thanks to the imported medication Mr. Ward brought over that night.
“It worked wonders for the swelling and pain. The wounds healed incredibly fast, so it hasn’t affected my work at all p>
Sienna’s brow twitched slightly, a brief flicker of surprise crossing her mind.
Injuries were common for bodyguards, and she hadn’t explicitly ordered anyone to look after him.
Yet, Jarred had silently kept track of Alister’s condition and arranged everything behind the scenes.
She glanced over at her usual car parked in the garage. Externally, it looked completely untouched.
But only she knew it was no longer the same vehicle.
Upon sitting inside, she realized the basic setup had been secretly swapped for top tier bulletproof and blast-resistant modifications.
The chassis was reinforced, the windows upgraded, and the security system completely overhauled to neutralize any potential threats.
Sienna spotted all the hidden upgrades instantly, but kept her mouth shut.
She was well aware it wasn’t just the car.
After the recent attack, Jarred’s men were undoubtedly shadowing her every move.
Sure enough, shortly after she pulled out of the driveway p>
Their formation was highly professional, maintaining the perfect distance.
If she hadn’t picked up counter-surveillance skills from her past operations, she never would have noticed.
It was Jarred’s team. They were everywhere.
Sienna withdrew her gaze and opened the documents in her lap.
Maloney’s flight was scheduled to land at ten o’clock today, and they were supposed to finalize the handover of the remaining Sterling management rights at eleven.
She had arranged to meet Thea Stanton beforehand to review the protocol, ensuring there would be no hiccups.
She arrived at Thea’s law firm at 8:10 AM.
Thea opened the door yawning, dark circles bruising her under-eyes, her hair thrown into a messy bun, and her face only half-washed.
Sienna frowned the moment she saw her. “What time did you go to bed p>
“Thanks to you, four in the morning!” Thea grumbled, shuffling back to the bathroom like a zombie.
Sienna raised an eyebrow. “What happened? And how is it my fault p>
