Memories Of Us - Chapter 4 Her Identity? 3

“What do you want to know? You can just ask me, you know.” Charles walked to the side of the room, where a soft couch placed near the big window. He sat there lazily as if it was his room -well, technically it was his room, but she stayed here now!

“Who wants to ask anything to you?” She said, her tone filled with disdain.

“Don’t be shy, just ask. I’ll answer it truthfully.” Charles didn’t take her words to heart. He folded his hand, waiting for Sienna to talk.

Sienna hesitated. She really wanted to know more about her past, but her intuition told her that she can’t trust Charles. She didn’t even know why she felt this way. Was this because she has no memories, so she was being suspicious of everyone?

“You.. tell me all you know about me then,” she said after contemplating in her heart. She walked towards him and sat on the couch across Charles. She crossed her leg and put both of her hands on top of her knee, ready to listen to a long story.

Charles propped his chin in the palm of his right hand. “I can answer it, but…” He dragged his word, then grinned. Sienna swears that one day she will rip apart that loathsome grin on his face.

“What would you pay me with?” He said with an evil grin on his face.

‘That hateful fiend! I knew it would be like this!’ Sienna cursed Charles in her heart. It was her fault to trust this fiend.

“Fuck off.” She gritted her teeth then walked to the door and opened it. She gestured to him to go out of her room with her chin.

“What did I do wrong?” He asked innocently. Sienna was so mad she almost went to punch his face. In the end, she could only say weakly: “Just go back to your room. I’m tired.”

“What? Weren’t you sleeping before? You didn’t even do anything, why are you acting weak like this?” Charles didn’t miss this moment to tease her.

“Talking with you drains all of my energy and shorten my lifespan.” She said coldly.

“Why are you acting so cold?” Charles purposely acting disappointed.

“Just get lost already, it’s late,” she said tiredly. Charles finally yielded. He walked towards her and stopped right before her.

“Rest well then. Good night.” Charles kissed Sienna’s cheek before he went to his own room on the third floor. Sienna rubbed her cheek a few times with a towel after he left. She didn’t have the energy to be angry anymore, she just wanted to sleep until morning. She took a shower before she fell dead asleep on her soft bed.

Sienna woke up with a knock on her door. She checked the clock on the side table. It was seven in the morning. She felt refreshed after she slept for quite a long time, almost eight hours. She went to the door and opened it.

“Good morning.” She was greeted by Charles beaming smile.

Slam! She slammed the door right in front of his nose.

“Sienna, open the door or I’ll xxx and xxx you,” Charles’s voice drifted from outside the door.

Sienna opened the door expressionlessly, “What?”

“Breakfast?”

“No.”

“Come on.”

“No.”

Sienna sat at the dining table across Charles grudgingly. She was lost to Charles unyielding attitude and ended up accompanying him for breakfast. A wide smile on his face, Charles ate the sandwich happily meanwhile Sienna ate the sandwich like she had a grudge against the poor sandwich.

“Eat slowly. Why would you eat like you haven’t eaten for days? You will choke like that.”

“Who cares. I just want to get out of here quickly.”

“Cough.. cough..” she coughed violently as soon as the words left her mouth. Charles hurriedly offered her a glass of water. She received it and drank the water quickly.

Charles chuckled, “See? Just listen to me. Why would you always go against me? Let’s just eat peacefully.”

‘Fuck. I must be cursed.’ she felt her life so miserable with Charles around her. She ate her sandwich slower now.

“Did you sleep well?” Charles suddenly asked. Sienna only glanced at him briefly before she focused on eating her sandwich again.

“Ckck… I’m hurt now,” he shooked his head and go back eating.

Sienna drank her cup of hazelnut milk after she finished with her sandwich and left right away after she was done. Charles could only shake his head again, helpless.

Knock… knock… About an hour after breakfast, she heard a knock again on her door, then the door opened before she could even ask who it was.

“Hey baby, I just wanted to say bye, I need to go to work now.” Charles walked in and sat on the couch.

“What?” Sienna was a bit startled. She realized that Charles has changed to formal attire. He wore a slim-fit white shirt, with a wingtip-collar, concealed front button, and long sleeves. The black slim leg mohair trousers shaped his slender legs perfectly. He looked charming.

“Will you miss me?” Charles said in a teasing tone then went to hug Sienna. Sienna’s sense of smell automatically dominated by Charles’s aroma. Charles used a cologne that exudes a refined yet assertive aroma, that evoked a feeling of masculinity. It was really tantalizing and almost made her drunk in the nice fragrance. She subconsciously sniffed at his aroma. Charles knew about this and he smiled, letting Sienna get drunk in his own aroma for a while.

“Goodbye, don’t miss me okay? I’ll be back before you know it,” he whispered in her ear.

“Who would miss you? Just go quickly.” She pushed him quickly. She really disdained his cheesy remark so much. Charles laughed, his eyes shining with glee. He actually thought she was really cute right now.

“Bye.” He kissed Sienna’s forehead then he finally went to work reluctantly. After Charles left, she took a long nice bath before reaching for a good book to read.

She looked through the clear window and thought: ‘Ah… such a nice weather.’ Sienna finally can have a tranquil moment by herself.
