After Brandon Potter finished speaking, he sat there with his back straight, a look of determined surrender, ready to face a glorious end.
"I don’t fear you whispering in Sixth Master’s ear. We are Sixth Master’s people, loyal only to him!"
Sienna Johnson chuckled lightly, "In your eyes, am I that fem fatale who brings calamity to the nation?"
"Madam certainly has the potential to be a fem fatale."
"I’ll take that as a complint," Sienna said, "Has Adrian Desmond replaced all the people around him?"
"Most of them have been replaced."
"How were those who were replaced arranged?"
"Those who left were given generous compensation. Sixth Master is always very generous with money, so those people didn’t leave with any complaints.
And so, like Walter Klein, were reassigned to other positions."
Sienna Johnson asked, "Did you arrange all this? Did Adrian not intervene?"
"Sixth Master just said to get them out of here, as far away as possible!"
"That’s sothing Adrian would do."
Sienna thought for a mont. After a while, she looked at Brandon Potter and said, "I never interfere in Adrian’s business matters. But in this matter, I can’t just let it be.
I’m afraid those who stayed behind might hold grudges. Just like Xavier Young.
Xavier wasn’t like this in the past.
I was soft-hearted back then and begged Adrian to let him go. As a result, he almost killed Adrian and ."
"..."
"I don’t know how much you really know, I just want to tell you that our situation, mine and Sixth Master’s, is very challenging now.
Therefore, I must ensure that the people around us can be trusted."
"..."
"Can those young people around Adrian be trusted?"
"They are all orphans, coming from the base, and they greatly admire Sixth Master. As for their abilities, that’s a given, but whether they are trustworthy still needs to be assessed.
As Madam said, understanding the human heart is not sothing that can be done in a short ti," Brandon Potter truthfully stated.
"And what about you? Alyssa, can Adrian and I trust you?"
"Of course! I’m loyal to Sixth Master!"
Brandon only expressed his loyalty to Adrian, without ntioning Sienna. She glanced at Sienna and noticed that Sienna did not seem upset.
"That’s good. Arrange another unimportant position for Walter," Sienna instructed.
"..."
"He knows too much."
After the incident with Xavier Young, Sienna never felt comfortable with Walter.
Brandon hesitated, and Sienna said, "I will discuss this matter with Adrian."
"..."
"Also, a part of Adrian’s and my character are quite similar; we both dislike others making decisions for us without our consent.
You’ve seen what happened to Walter.
If you don’t want to beco another ’Walter,’ think carefully."
Because both Adrian and Sienna are in leadership positions, they have zero tolerance for subordinates who are disobedient or act independently without permission.
She didn’t think Adrian did anything wrong; it was just that the aftermath wasn’t handled well.
Brandon couldn’t withstand this roundabout speech very well, "Madam, I rember your words."
"That’s good." She smiled at Brandon, "Adrian is cold on the outside and warm on the inside. If you work hard for Sixth Master, he will treat you well."
"Yes, Madam."
"Is Adrian sick?" Sienna suddenly asked.
The question was so abrupt that Brandon was caught off guard and almost blurted it out, luckily biting his tongue in ti,
"Yes, you know Sixth Master was shot and hasn’t fully recovered."
"I ant in other aspects."
"Haha...what other issues could there be? Haha, Madam, I really don’t know," Brandon feigned ignorance.
"Like impotence."
Yesterday, when Adrian held her hand to do that thing for the second ti, she had woken up.
If it wasn’t for being given sleeping pills, how could she not have woken up when Adrian used her hand for that?
She pretended to sleep only to consider Adrian’s male ego. A man like Adrian would never allow himself to be "useless."
Brandon found it hard to smile, "Madam, you should know this better than I do."
Sienna gave her a smile and asked, "Where did Adrian go?"
"I don’t know."
"Liar!"
"Madam, I..."
"Let’s eat, I can probably guess where he went."
