Chapter571HavingOspeanFoodForDinner
Sienna was quick to regain herposure even when questioned. “I came here because I wanted to
have a little chat with you, only to find out that you weren’t in after I entered the room. Who would’ve
thought I’d run into you on my way out?”
Her calm expression and graceful smile made it impossible to tell that she was startled just seconds
ago.
“What did you want to talk about, Mrs. Harris? We can talk about it now that I’m back,” Annie asked
while observing Sienna’s expression.
“I was going to ask you when you n on making your move. Asher may be excused from his
punishment due to his illness, but he will have to return to the ancestral hall once he gets better. I can’t
bear to watch him faint from the abuse again,” Sienna said.
Annie could understand the cause of Sienna’s anxiousness. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Harris. I have made all
the necessary preparations on my end and will make my move within a few days.”
Sienna breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. “That’s good to hear.”
Annie was about to walk past her and enter the room when Sienna grabbed her by the wrist.
“The weather has gotten really warmtely, and my long hair isn’t making things any better for me. I
was thinking of getting my hair done today! Would you like toe with me, Ms. Annie?” Sienna
suggested amicably.
“Get your hair done?”
Sienna let out a chuckle. “That’s right. I heard young girls love dyeing their hair gray these days. I think
you should give it a try, Ms. Annie.”
“I don’t mind keeping youpany while you get your hair done, Mrs. Harris, but I won’t be getting
mine done. I prefer my natural hair color, so I would prefer to not change it, Annie said without any
hesitation whatsoever.
“Your hair sure looks great, Ms. Annie. I still think you would look even better if you dye it, though. Life
is all about trying new things, after all. Besides, it would be pretty boring if you just sit there and watch
me get my hair done.”
Annie shook her head and stood firm on her decision.
“I really don’t like dyeing my hair, Mrs. Harris. If you want to go to the salon, I’ll pack my stuff and head-
out with you in a bit.”
Feeling disappointed, Sienna replied, “Forget it. There’s no point in me going if you won’t join me, so I’ll
just put up with it for a few more days. I’ll go check on Asher in his room. Feel free toe see me if
you ever need anything, Ms. Annie.”
“I will.”
The two then politely excused themselves and went their separate ways.
Annie quickly locked her bedroom door from the inside while Sienna returned to the master bedroom
with a disappointed look on her face.”
Asher was sleeping soundly on therge bed of the master bedroom.
Exhausted from reciting and copying the scripture for a few days straight, he was using this opportunity
to get some rest while he was sick.
Not wanting to disturb him, Sienna simply sat down beside the bed without making a sound.
I couldn’t find a single strand of hair inside Annie’s room, and she refuses to get her hair done either.
Given how Annie is being extremely cautious around me, I doubt I will be able toplete the task that
Gwendolyn assigned me.
With that in mind, Sienna sent Gwendolyn a text to brief her on the situation.
It wasn’t long before she received a reply from Gwendolyn.
The message read: Just wait and see.
Sienna figured Gwendolyn probably had a n for this, so she decided to ce her trust in Gwendolyn
and stopped worrying about it.
When it was time for dinner, Sienna fed Asher some soup before heading downstairs with the empty
bowl.
Annie was already seated and waiting for Sienna by the time thetter arrived at the dining hall.
Sienna then handed the empty bowl over to the housekeeper before sitting down across from Annie.
Annie gracefully munched on the food during dinner while chatting with Sienna. “Chanaean cuisine
sure tastes unique and amazing. I was lucky enough to enjoy Chanaean food for a few years while
studying here, but the cooking of the Harris family’s chef is the best I have tasted so far.”
“You can have more if you like it,” Sienna replied with a polite smile.
Annie nodded obediently before asking, “Have you ever tried Ospean cuisine, Mrs. Harris?”
“I have been to Ospea while I was on an international flight with Asher. That was when I had a chance
to try out the capital city’s delicacies.”
“What do you think of the taste, then?”
Oblivious to the reason she brought that up, Sienna replied casually, “It’s not bad. Every country’s
cuisine is unique in their own way, I suppose.”
Annie nced at the two chefs and the housekeepers, who were standing next to the dining table, and
gave it some thought before continuing, “I have been eating Chanaean food ever since I got here a few
days ago. I’m starting to miss Ospean cuisine. Could you help me out with that, Mrs. Harris?”
Sienna paused in her tracks as she realized Annie was likely hinting at something. “Do you have
something in mind, Ms. Annie?”
“I know a chef from Ospea. He’s an old friend of mine. Could you enlist his services for a few days and
have him prepare our meals here at the Harris residence?”
Since hiring a chef wasn’t a big deal, Sienna saw no reason to deny that request. Besides, she had
already promised Anniest night that she wouldply with all her arrangements.
“All right. We can arrange for the chef toe over tomorrow if you’d like.”
Annie shed her a bright smile. “That’s great!”
She then lowered her gaze to conceal the sinister glint in her eyes as she continued, “Mr. Asher is sick,
but Ms. Harris has yet toe and visit him. Why don’t you invite her over for dinner tomorrow? That
way, she could also have a taste of Ospean cuisine.”
That was when Sienna noticed something was off about Annie’s suggestion. Hmm? Is Annie nning
to make her move?
She looked Annie in the eye in an attempt to see what she had in mind, but Annie simply maintained an
innocent and harmless smile.
Her superb acting skills and wless pretense made it impossible to determine what she was up to.
While Sienna was unsure of Annie’s intentions, she did not hesitate to respond as Gwendolyn had
given her instructions beforehand.
“Sure thing. He is her brother, and he only fell sick because of her punishment, so it’s only natural that
she shoulde to visit him.”
Having received the green light, Annie smiled even brighter. “That’s settled, then. I will contact the chef
and have him report for duty tomorrow morning. He will need some time to get used to your
kitchenware so he can prepare dinner for us. Look forward to tasting some of Ospea’s famous
delicacies, Mrs. Harris!”
After the meal, Sienna then gave Gwendolyn a call in front of Annie.

“Hey, Gwen. Asher is sick and doesn’t seem to be doing well. Could youe to visit him and maybe
stay for dinner? Ms. Annie is your guest, so you should at least show her some hospitality.”
Gwendolyn could tell from Sienna’s tone that Annie was right next to her.
“Got it. I will head over once I’m done with work tomorrow,” she replied coldly and ended the call.
Sienna turned toward Annie andined angrily, “You see that? I’m her sister–inw, and this is
the attitude she gives me. Not only did she not greet me politely, but she even behaves impatiently
when speaking to me!”
She sighed inwardly, anxiously hoping that Annie would reveal more of her n for tomorrow night, but
Annie simply held her hand and said, “I’m sorry you had to suffer Ms. Harris‘ wrath because of Mr.
Asher, but don’t worry. This will all be over soon.”
Seeing as Annie did not reveal anything about her n, Sienna decided to take the initiative and sound
her out. “Are your preparations for tomorrow nightplete? You’re not going to get anyone killed, are
you?”
