Chapter 1086 Sheena nodded solemnly and replied, “Hmm... She is quite alluring.” However, Shella was like Helen of Troy, beautiful but also a harbinger of calamity, Anne was still looking at the photo.
After a few more glances, she jokingly remarked, “It’s so strange, but she resembles me.” Sheena shook her head.
Anne questioned, “Don’t you agree?” “No. I'd say there's only a rough similarity,” Sheena replied.
Anne smiled brightly. “Well, isn’t that a coincidence? It seems like you and | are quite fated. | remember you mentioning her sister last time, but | didn’t expect her to look somewhat like me.” Sheena did not want to indulge in Anne's irrelevant chatter and redirected the conversation.
“Ms. Windsor, can you tellwhere exactly you farmed in the countryside?” Anne carefully recalled.
“Sorry, Ms. Lawson, | really don’t remember. | have a terrible sense of direction, and I'm unfamiliar with the names of places. | might not remember its neven if I've been to a place a few times. But I'm sure | haven't seen your sister: If | had encountered a girl who looked like me, | wouldn't forget her. Maybe we could've even becfriends.” Observing her facial expression, Sheena uttered understandingly, “Alright, | won't press you further. I'll stop competing for your collaborations with other companies, and | can even offer you a collaborative. project as compensation.” Anne's eyes lit up with excitement. “Really? You're even offeringa contract?” Sheena nodded affirmatively. “As long as you're willing to stay in Froania for a few more days, consider it done.” “Of course, no problem. Thank you, Ms. Lawson. I'm sure you have a lot of work to do, so | won't bother you further,” Anne replied promptly.
After a polite bow, she got up to leave.
Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to remember something and turned back to continue, “But, Ms. Lawson, when you mentioned staying a few more days, how long exactly did you have in mind? If it's too long, Paulo might start to worry. After all, he’s in Ouna, and | cto Froania alone this time.” Sheena expressed understanding, “Don’t worry, just five days at most. Tomorrow afternoon, you can meethere, and I'll take you to a fun place.” “Okay, no problem.” With the collaboration secured and Sheena’s resentments seemingly resolved, Anne appeared much happier as she walked out.

Sheena maintained a polite smile, watching her figure disappear through the glass door.
Once Anne was completely out of sight, Sheena’s smile faded instantly, replaced by a cold and icy expression.
Each word and expression seemed flawless, almost like that of a seasoned actress.
She pondered over the fact that Sheila had no one to rely on in all of Froania, no family or friends except for one person.
She would take Anne to meet that person tomorrow, and perhaps it might reveal sclues.
After roughly organizing her thoughts, Sheena quickly refocused and immersed herself in her work.
The afternoon flew by swiftly, with the setting sun painting the skyline outside red, casting a warm glow on her striking profile.
Since being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Sheena has been visiting Yosef to receive treatment for a week now.
Before her alarm clock, set to go off half an hour before quitting time, could chime, her phone rang.
She glanced at the screen-it was Phoebe.
Upon answering the call, Sheena immediately asked, “Did you run away from hagain?” Phoebe was taken aback by the sudden comment and did not immediately answer Sheena.
Noticing her silence, Sheena asked, “Or... are you feeling moody? Where are you? Do you want to meet up and talk about it?”
Phoebe answered, “No, I'm fine these days. I've just been at home. studying alone ang feeling bore I'm done with tre reading and want to play sgames. Do you have time?” Ah, Mobile Heroes-the gSheena had grown fond of, thanks to Phoebe’s influence, “I was just about to wrap up work. A few rounds of that gshould be quick. Let's do it.” They launched the gand activated voice chat, engaging in conversation while playing ranked matches.
Sheena initially planned to play only a few rounds, but luck was not on their side for sreason.
Their teammates were all underperforming, resulting in three consecutive losses.
Determined to end with a win, they insisted on playing one more match before logging off.

Each loss fueled their determination to play one more round while each win left them unsatisfied , craving another match.
Sheena activated her phone’s exclusive gaming mode during the game, silencing all calls and messages.
While waiting anxiously at home, Elliot tried calling her multiple times but could not reach her.
As the red hues of sunset faded into the night, the sky darkened.
Sheena remained seated in her office chair, playing the gin the dim light.
Suddenly, the overhead lights flickered on, revealing Elliot's grim expression as he stood at the doorway, silently observing her.
