At the hospital, Sienna was talking to the doctor after he had checked Waris, the name provided by the man whom Jaws sent.

He sat in the doctor's room waiting, watching Sienna through a glass window in the door. Sienna and the doctor were talking outside the room.

Sienna returned without the doctor. "I am very sorry sir, it was an accident" she apologized profusely.

"It's okay" Waris grunted.

"I got some painkillers for the wound. I apologise again, it was my fault" Sienna apologised again, giving Waris some pills. "I should have paid attention to my driving."

"It's okay. Stop saying sorry" Waris said warmly, "I will appreciate it if you can drop me. I was going somewhere before."

"Oh, it's no problem" Sienna nodded eagerly and helped him get up since he hurt his leg a bit.

Waris cast dangerous glances at her occasionally as they walked out of the hospital. Sienna helped him into her car and drove away.

Waris looked around surreptitiously and his eyes narrowed at the sight of her handbag at the backseat. Her handbag was with some things Sienna found Waris carrying when she met him.

Waris hid a smirk and looked ahead as Sienna drove.

Sienna's phone rang and she glanced at it. It was Ethan calling and she ignored it with a frown. Waris observed her secretly.

Sienna arrived close to where she met Waris and Waris got down. "Thank you so much" he said, moving to the back seat.

"It's nothing. If not anything, I am responsible for your condition" Sienna said guiltily and got down. "Let me help you."

Sienna turned round the car to help Waris and Waris used the opportunity to quickly reach into her bag. He grabbed something and feigned taking his things when she reached him.

Sienna helped him and said goodbye once she was done and Waris feigned a kind smile. Sienna smiled in response and drove away.

Waris's smile dropped once she was out of sight and held his injured arm.

"I had to go through a lot of trouble to get this but it should be worth it" Waris said, dangling a key in front of his eyes.

A few hours later, it was nighttime and Ethan was waiting in front of Sienna's door at their apartment building. He had called her several times but she ignored him.

He had heard from Edafe that she had come to see him and had left a long while ago so Ethan stopped waiting at the firm and came to her apartment.

Ethan perked up at the sound of footsteps and looked down at the stairs. He saw Sienna walking up quietly and he looked relieved.

Sienna stopped when she saw him, looking angry and upset. Ethan deflated a bit.

"Sienna..." He called softly.
