Siana

After she was done she sat next to Alex and they started talking about the plans for the day.

Giving a hostile look to Will, Alex said,

"Sia, I will have to go out for a bit so this guy here can take you out to the Mountain park. I will join you there in 3-4 hours. It"s one of the picnic places here and we can later go hiking if we want to."

"Sure, sounds like a plan. What about Ren though?"

"He is still busy with his company scandals so he will have to pa.s.s," Alex said shrugging his shoulders.

"Can"t he hire someone to block the source?"

"He tried to do it. Though, I doubt we will achieve anything as even Will was having difficulties to block that hacker."

His words picked Sia"s interest and she turned to look at Will with raised eyebrows. After some thought she asked with surprise that sounded more like a revelation than a question,

"You are a hacker!?"

"You could say that," Will answered calmly though deep inside he was feeling smug for making her surprised.

"That"s really cool!"

Their conversation continued for a bit more until Alex had to leave. He was silently cursing at Will under his breath. That guy had been annoying him since Monday to let him have alone time with Sia.

"Even though that girl is no white lotus, I am going to kill Will if he tries anything funny! Though, I guess Cain will do it faster than me."

——

When Sia and Will were left alone, for the first time in his life, Will did not know what to say or how to behave. So he continued playing with his food deep in thoughts of what to do next.

Noticing all of these, Sia wanted to laugh. She didn"t expect the world-famous cold prince to behave like a shy teenage boy when with a girl. So to ease his sufferings she asked,

"How was Silverine? Did you enjoy your time there?"

For a moment, Will was taken aback by her question. He really didn"t want to remember about Silverine, especially his phone call. But he couldn"t just ignore her question so he said,

"It was ok. The people were nice to talk to. Better tell me about yourself: how has it been going?"

Being a doctor, Sia had learned to be more sensitive people"s emotions and thoughts. It was obvious that Will didn"t want to talk about Silverine, so she didn"t pry any further. She eagerly answered his question to ease his tenseness.

"Let"s see. Conference-wise, my first day was a bit boring as the presenters were faking their results. We got the second day free and the rest was so packed that it was hard to keep track of what was happening. So, you could say that it was not that well managed as they had lost all the control over the event as soon as a mishap happened. The topics were interesting though, some of them gave me ideas and I might actually try to join one of the research groups.

Shall I comment on my days with Alex too?"

Will, who was listening to her as if she was presenting a billion dollar project, suddenly came back from his stupor and quickly nodded at her.

Sia wanted to laugh at his cute reaction but holding back she continued,

"Well, honestly speaking coming here I had two goals: one, to improve myself as a doctor and two, to get to know Alex better. Among his 5 siblings my dad has always been the closest to uncle Alfred. He keeps on telling stories about their past "adventures", he also always tells, how Alex was similar to uncle Alfred. So, honestly, I wanted to see whether we could become such good siblings as our dads and I think that we did actually click with each other. You could say that both my missions have been successful. So,to cut it short: it was fun and I am glad we are closer now!" She concluded happily.

Will was actually surprised at her frankness. He didn"t expect her to lay her true thoughts in front of him so easily. He actually wanted to hear her more so he quickly followed,

"That"s good to know. I can a.s.sure you that Alex feels the same about you. He might have been of a bit... wrong opinion about you in the beginning but he sees you as a treasure now."

Sia couldn"t help but chuckle at his words, which left Will with a questioning gaze.

"What did I say wrong?"

"Pffft, sorry it"s not that you said anything wrong. It"s just the seriousness with which you said it sounded like a judge stating the court decision," she finished but continued laughing.

Soon she realised that Will sat frozen at his place, probably because he was feeling embara.s.sed by what she said.

"He is so cute! Why do I feel like bullying him a bit more?"

So, without any further ado she poked at his arm and said playfully,

"Don"t freeze!"

Will actually froze even further so she just stood up and waving at him continued in the same manner,

"I am gonna go change. By the time I come back you better be back to normal!"

And so she left leaving behind a poor man who seemed like he lost all of his control over his body and his mind.
