Chapter 839 Upon hearing Sheena inquire about her face, the girl instinctively covered the bandaged cheek with her hand.
“Ms. Lawson, my name is Layla Walker. | injured my left cheek a couple of days ago when | fell downstairs. But rest assured, Ms. Lawson, it won't affect my work, and the wound will heal soon,” Layla explained.
Her voice sounded hoarse and somewhat unpleasant.
Sheena, still cradling the Adora, gently cooed and rocked her.
She averted her gaze from Layla, saying calmly, “You're not suitable. You can leave.".
Lionel moved to escort Layla out, but she remained rooted to the spot, unwilling to accept Sheena’s decision.
“Ms. Lawson, you didn’t even ask about my professional qualifications. Are you rejecting me because of my looks? Are you judging people solely based on appearances?” Layla challenged, her tone defiant.
Sheena frowned slightly, raising her head again to meet Layla’s eyes. Sensing Sheena’s growing anger, Lionel hurried to pull Layla away.
“What are you saying? Who goes job-hunting with such an attitude? It’s not about your appearance. You're just trying to guilt- trip us.”
Lionel dragged Layla a few steps toward the door. Sheena, still in bed, finally spoke up. “There are four reasons why | don’t want you.
“Your voice is unpleasant, which might scare the babies, you don’t look at me with respect, your gaze is piercing and lacks warmth, and most importantly, | simply don’t like you. Therefore, | don’t need to assess your competence.”
Sheena’s tone was matter-of-fact, cutting through the air like a knife.
Lionel chimed in, “Got that? You should accept it now. Please leave.”
With no other option, Layla turned and left.
As she reached the doorway, she glanced back with a sly smile and taunted, “Ms. Lawson, are you truly at peace?” Then, Layla left.
Lionel stood in place, momentarily stunned before quickly apologizing to Sheena.
“I'm sorry, Sheena. I'll be more cautious next time and not bring in any oddballs.”
Sheena made a casual acknowledgment and continued to soothe Adora in her arms. Chapter 839
However, the girl’s parting words echoed unexpectedly in her mind, replaying over and over. The look Layla gave her before leaving...
Sheena suddenly realized something and turned to Lionel with urgency, shouting, “Quick! Go after that girl who just left. Make sure to bring her back!”
“Yes, I’m on it!” Lionel replied promptly, his expression serious as he dashed out of the room. Feeling a sudden unease, Sheena hurriedly called Elliot, who was diligently working in the study. “Yes, honey?”
“Where's Asher?”
Elliot glanced down at the baby sleeping in his arms. “He’s with me. What's up?”
Sheena breathed a sigh of relief. “Nothing, just carry on with your work.”
Ending the call, she glanced out the window, hoping she was just overthinking. Fifteen minutes later, Lionel returned. “Sheena, | couldn’t find her. She left in a hurry and
