"Sienna!” Victoria called out to her. “Sienna turn around, please. That was uncalled for. He knows it and he had no right to say so. Please come inside . . . It will serve him right to have you there.” Victoria pleaded.
Placing a hand on Victoria's upper arm, Sienna moved the woman along to the sides, so the reports couldn't hear their conversation but the camera's still flashed. They were impossible to get away from.
"Victoria," Sienna sighed "I don't care nor did I come here to spite your husband and I don't want to cause trouble for you either. To be completely honest I didn't even want to come here tonight but it's my job and I'm a professional. Now that everything is taken care of I have no need to be here. Save yourself and me the trouble . . . Goodbye Victoria." Sienna smiled as she began to move away, ignoring the reports and photographers calling out to her.
“Thank you.” She said to the valet that opened and closed the car door behind her as Sienna slipped into the black town car, Heidi was already inside. “I think I'm just going to go home instead.” She said to the blonde.
“I just knew you were going to say that.” Heidi smirked. “That's cool, these gowns are no good for Bar Hopping anyway. Friday night, you promised.”
“Friday night.” Sienna replied lost in thought as she watched the Upper East Side pass by.
It only took ten minutes to get to her place in a car and before she knew it they were pulled up in front of her building. The doorman to her building opened the door to the car.
“Good Evening Dr. Rose.” He greeted her as she stepped out the car.
“Good Evening to you too Jack.” Sienna smiled at him pleasantly and then she turned back to Heidi inside the car.
“So I'll see you at work tomorrow.” Heidi said as she looked up from the phone in her hand.
“Urgh! Right work tomorrow?” Sienna scoffed. She loved her job working for the MET but she didn't feel like she could face it tomorrow.
“Why?” Heidi asked with a grin playing on her lips. “You going to call in sick? Because if you are so am I!”
“I'm tempted.” Sienna joked.
“No it will work out good.” Heidi said mischievously with a wink “We can say we were food poisoned at the Genovese's Gala.”
“How scandalous!” Sienna laughed genuinely “Alright, I'll see you tomorrow.”
“Bye.” Heidi winked again as she pulled the door closed and rolled down the window.
“Bye. Thanks for cheering me up.” Sienna said moving away.
“Any time.” Heidi called out through the open window.
Sienna turned slightly and blew a kiss over her shoulder with a wave to her friend as the town car rolled away. She stopped suddenly a few feet away from the manned doors of her building and looked up to the top floor where her Terrace Penthouse was. It was dark . . .
Suddenly going back home wasn't so appealing. Landon wasn't there. It would be too quiet, too empty. She wasn't used to living like that. There was always some noise in her house when Landon was there . . .
Sienna didn't want to go home . . . She should have gone out with Heidi . . .
Sighing, Sienna ran a hand over her left upper arm only realizing then that she had forgotten her coat back at the Genovese's as the slitted long skirt of her strapless green gown fluttered in the light breeze as Sienna still stood there examining her options for the still young night.
She didn't want to sit at home going through a bottle of red wine alone and think about things that made her cry but she didn't want to be in the company of any one else either, Sienna thought with frustration . . .
She didn't know what she wanted . . .
