Chapter 339 - Heroes

"Why the hell are you here?" she hissed, pulling aside Grant. This man was really good. He was someone that would show up when the female lead is in danger! The thing is, she wasn't the female lead! She was just the extra!
His jaws clenched, clearly, her reaction didn't amuse him. "I should ask you the same."
"Grant…"
He ignored the rest of her words as he held her hand. "We should leave…"
Seeing their interaction, the man who asked her to come said, "If you don't want to come with me then stop wasting my time!"
"You— "
"Grant calm down!"
"Then, come with me." Grant insisted. "This place is not for you…"
"Damn it, Grant! I have plans!" Unable to stop herself, she pulled away from her hand. "Leave me!"
"Do you know what this place is?"
"Of course, I do!" Sienna clenched her jaw. "This is about the breach."
"I know!"
"You— You knew?" And yet he didn't do anything?
"Did you really think you could get into their servers without my help?"
She turned silent. That's right. She wasn't really that good at computers. She too wondered how she was able to get in. This was supposed to be a group of hackers, right? Still, she ignored it and thought it was just some sort of glitch.
It wasn't.
"Then come with me," Sienna offered.
She expected Grant to say no. The possibility that he would carry her out of this bar was really high. At least, she had included this in her expectations. To her surprise, Grant didn't say anything for a few seconds. He just stared at her, his shadowed gaze unreadable. He was looking down at her, perhaps he was thinking about her sudden changes?
She prepared herself to answer more questions.
But he didn't ask anything. Instead, he said, "Only if you promised not to cause any more trouble."
He was acting like he knew why she was really here.
"Alright."
"Promise me."
"I promise!" So pushy. But then again, she was talking to the male lead. A little pushiness should be considered normal, right?
"And promise me not to set up a date with someone again."
"Eh?"
"I can manage my own love life."
"Oh…" Sienna nodded. Pursing her lips, she observed the man in front of her. He looked serious. There wasn't a hint of mirth in his tone. In fact, he even sounded angry. "Let's talk about this later."
To her relief, Grant nodded and finally faced the man. "Take us to see him."
"And who are you? He said, only she…"
"Tell him, it's phantom."
"You—"
"I didn't come here to fight. I am accompanying my sister." Grant said. "You should know what would happen if you harm me."
"You really dared to…" The man grumbled and let out a deep sigh. "Alright… follow me!"
….
"When Scarlette told me that you are in an irritating old lady who needed a man in her life, I expected to see an old woman, wrinkly and ugly who just grew old without someone by her side."
The man sitting behind the oak table said the moment they walk inside his office.
"If I had known that Miss Sienna Rouse actually looked like this… I would have offered to seduce her and make her mind."
The man added and before Grant could do anything, Sienna already held her brother's arm.
"Oh? Isn't this the man who attacked my company just a couple of days ago?" The man spoke. Now that Sienna was closer, she could see the man's features clearly.
She too had expected that he would be older. Maybe he was some sort of a father figure to Scarlette? It turns out, he looked just as if he was just in his early thirties.
Young and handsome.
The man was wearing an all-white outfit that honestly made him look like a rugged prince. His long hair was neatly tucked behind his back and a fake smile was plastered on his face.
Grant only snorted in response. "Stop the fakery Connor!"
"Please take a seat. And also… just call me John, no one except you knows my real name." John sent a meaningful glance at Grant. That glance immediately rang some bells inside her head. Why does it look like these people were close? She felt left out! "So… why did you attempt to hack my already damaged system that your brother broke? " This time, John turned his attention towards.
She inhaled and steadied herself. The smell of alcohol and cigarettes was thick in the air. She was here to threatened this man. But it looked like Grant already took care of that. "The corporate spy that you sent… "
"Ah… him? He's no longer in this country."
"I expected that," Sienna said. "Did you do it because of Scarlette?"
"I did it because it was right."
"Bullshit," Sienna uttered. The two men inside the room must have noticed the venom in those words as they stilled, surprised at her reaction. "You are saying that you wanted to steal from my family because it was right?"
"I give them to the poor. Everyone knows this. My people always loved charity, we might look like criminals but we are far from that. We only do things that would benefit the homeless, the abuse. We are heroes."
Sienna snorted.
"Your contempt is pretty obvious. I see that you hated the poor?" John uttered.
"I don't hate anyone. Hate is an emotion and I am not the type of person that would waste my emotion to anything that does not benefit me." Was this hero complex? Really? Does this man think he was superman or something?
"Fiesty. If you were not from the corporate world, I would have liked you. After all, you were exactly my type."
"Scarlette had been stealing from you. She had been moving money from your bank account to a secret account abroad."
"Oh? Did you really think I am a fool to believe your words?"
"One…" Sienna held a finger. "You are a fool. And two… I am not here to force you to believe me. I am here to tell you the details of her deeds and warn you.. Stay away from my family or… you and your group of heroes would disappear from this planet."
