Chapter 2

I thought I was being a genius, but turned out I was just a clown.

I never in a million years imagined that the "fat little sheep" my dad wanted me to fleece was my ex-boyfriend!

Who would have thought that the shy college boy, who used to blush just holding my hand, had transformed into the hottest new billionaire in the tech world?

I stared at Ethan Vance, who was standing before me in a perfectly tailored three-piece suit. I froze for a solid minute.

It wasn’t until the HR manager nudged me that I snapped out of it. I lowered my head and stammered, "H-hello, Mr. Vance. I’m your new assistant, Sienna Brooks."

Ethan didn’t say a word, but I could feel his intense, burning gaze locked onto me.

I kept my head down, cringing so hard I wanted the floor to swallow me whole.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think such a cliché drama plot would happen to me.

If I had known it was him, I wouldn’t have taken this job even if someone held a gun to my head.

Blame my greed. I was so blinded by the condo that I didn’t even check the client’s name. But now that I was here, I had no choice but to bite the bullet.

After what felt like an eternity, just when I thought he was going to ignore me, a deep, velvety voice brushed past my ear.

"Sienna. Long time no see."

I looked up and locked eyes with him. He was smiling.

His smile was still incredibly handsome—warm and bright, like spring sunshine.

Yet, a cold shiver ran straight down my spine.

Because back then, I was the one who dumped him.
