Sienna turned sharply toward him, her expression changing immediately.
"Sir," she said coldly while trying to pull her hand away, "please let go of my hand."
But Benjamin did not release her.
Instead, his grip tightened.
His face no longer carried the calm smile from earlier. Now, frustration and wounded pride were clearly visible in his expression.
"You rejected me because of another man," he muttered darkly.
"I already told you that's not—"
Before she could finish speaking, Benjamin's hand tightened around her wrist. His movement immediately made Sienna's anger rise.
Without hesitation, she yanked her hand free while stepping back, trying to put space between them.
"Don't do this," she warned him firmly.
But Benjamin suddenly grabbed her hand again. This time harder.
The fear and anger building inside her finally exploded.
"Let go of me!" Sienna snapped loudly and forcefully pushed him away with all her strength.
