Chapter 438
Derek chuckled. “At first, it felt like an impossible dream. However, the investors decided on you on their own after watching snippets from your previous drama”–
The previous drama was the one Sienna had just finished dubbing.
Sienna thought in surprise. So that’s the reason for this
“Congratulations, beamed Derek, winking at her. “Make sure to go back and take a good look at the script. You need to meticulously dissect the female lead role and do your best at the audition
Seeing
Sienna still looking dumbfounded. Derek smiled and patted her shoulder, consoling, “Don’t be too nervous. This isn’t your first rodeo. Actually, this industry isn’t that tough. You just need to focus on your acting”
Although it was sudden and unexpected, alas, since she had entered the industry and now the opportunity was presented to her, there was no reason to back down.
“Got it.” Sienna finally nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Pittman”
“You’re welcome. I have other things to do…” said Derek.
Sienna understood. “Please go ahead. I’ll take my leave first,” she cut in.
“Okay,” replied Derek.
As Sienna walked out of the small conference room, she didn’t notice Maggie coming out from around the corner behind her.
Maggie stared at Sienna’s retreating figure complicatedly. “Isn’t that great…”
She started grumbling inwardly. ‘Compared to me, Sienna is nothing but a newcomer who had just acted in one drama. How could she be the lead
actress!
“I have been in East Entertainment for two years and am still a supporting actress. I’m sure it must be because she has Josiah backing her.
“But I was the one Josiah originally wanted to promote. Just because of Sienna’s sudden appearance, he no longer notices me now…
Joyce was getting better day by day, and her appetite was much better than before. In just twenty days, her cheeks looked fuller.
Sacate well, so her health and spirits were both good. After lunch, she kept refusing to sleep and only started to feel sleepy in the evening
Sienna put her to bed and coaxed her to sleep. It was only then she had the time to pick up the script. She sat back on the couch to read it
These few days, she was taking care of Joyce during the day and dubbing until late at night, so she didn’t get much rest.
After a while, she became sleepy too. Her eyelids drooped, and she fell asleep leaning against the couch. Mother and daughter slept soundly as the sky outside the window gradually darkened.
inside, so he thought Sienna had already left. As he entered
Josiah was there to take over for the night. When he pushed open the door, it was quiet in the room, he saw that she was asleep on the couch.
Josiali paused for a moment, thinking, ‘Doesn’t she have a date today? Oh, right! Cedric’s family went abroad to attend a relative’s wedding. He knew because Cedric was Yosef’s cousin and was also invited.
Josiah looked down at Sienna and mused, ‘How could she fall asleep in this position! I guess all that dancing since she was a child made her body flexible. Normally, people won’t be able to fall asleep in this position”
He walked over slowly, treading lightly so as not to make any noise.
When Josiah reached Sienna, he gently picked her up and laid her down in a way she could sleep more comfortably. Then, he picked up the blanket from the opposite couch, spread it out, and covered her with it
Although the inpatient building had a fresh air system and a constant temperature for 24 hours a day, it was still easy to catch a coll after waking up if she didn’t cover herself with something while sleeping.
Sienna didn’t wake up even after this series of action.
Josiah simply squatted in front of the couch, stared at her unblinkingly, and thought, ‘She is sleeping soundly, probably because of how well joyer is doing.

Joyce is cured, and she has let go of the biggest worry in her heart. Maybe it’s also because of Cedric. It seems like Cedric’s family no longer objected to their relationship. She must be very happy to be with the one she loves”
Josiah’s heart skipped a beat. He straightened his back, leaned forward slightly, and knelt on one knee. He gulped nervously before lowering head and gently kissed Sienna’s lips. His heart raced as if it would leap out of his throat
Josiah’s palms we
were sweaty with nervousness, and he didn’t dare to deepen the kiss for fear of waking her up. The brief, fleeting kits ended quickly. Josiah quickly got up and strode out. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lose his reason and lose control like he did just now
The door clicked stun softly.
On the couch, Sienna slowly opened her eyes. She slowly raised her hand and touched her lips. The ghost of Josiah’s warm and dry lips lingered on
them.
Sienna only returned to her senses when she heard her phone vibrating in her pocket. She picked up her phone and went outside to answer it
“Hello!”
“Hello” croaked a voice disguised by a voice changer from the other end.
Sienna’s body went cold, and her brows furrowed, “Who is this?” “What kind of person would use a voice changer when making a call?” she wondered frantically.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. You are Sienna, right?” questioned the other person.
Yes Who are…
are… asked Sienna.
The person on the other end et in before Sienna could ask anything. “Listen carefully. Do you still remember your dark past!”
“Dark past?” mumbled Sienna, feeling confused. “I don’t understand what you mean,” she replied.
“Then let’s see if this jogs your mentory. Remember Maze?” asked the other person.

Of course, Sienna remembered Maze. It was her first job in Jelacrity, but what was so dark about it? “I still don’t understand,” she insisted.
“Well, let me send you a photo, and you’ll understand,” replied the other personi
The call didn’t end, but a message came in. Sienna clicked on it, and a photo popped up. It was a photo of a woman holding a man’s arm. They were cuddled together as they exited Maze’s side door.
Siena’s face instantly turned pale. The photo was a little blurry, but it was clear that the woman was her
Although the man’s face was blurred, Sienna naturally knew who it was. It was Ryan. Because of Joyce’s surgery fee, she had once thought about selling herself,
She didn’t expect that this matter would be brought up one day. “Who are your choked out Sienna, gripping her phone tightly as her heart raced.
“Should that be your concern now! If I were you, I’d be thinking about how to settle this,” said the person.
Sienna let out a low, cold laugh. “Tell me, what’s your purpose? Blackmailing for money?”
“That’s right. Listen carefully. I want 300 thousand dollars within three days. Once I receive the money, I’ll send you the originals saying that, the caller hung up
“Hello? Hello!” shouted Sienna as she held her phone, feeling lost. She wondered anxiously. “What should I do? Not to mention the caller’s exorbitant demand for 300 lousand dollars, even if I gave it to them, what then!
ept their proinise and handed over the originals, there was no guarantee that they hadn’t made a backup:
Even if they kept
Sienna bat her lower lip, pacing back and forth, and thought bitterly, Tihis matter came to light, my career in the entertainment industry would be
My new drama is about to be released. Setting aside thy losses, would this affect Mr. Piuman and Mr. Carter
The two directors had always favoured me and given me a lot of support. I can’t drag them down, either. And there’s Joyce. If the news spread, is would affect Joyce 100‘
The bathroom door opened, and Josials came out. He looked at Siena pacing back and forth in confusion. “Sienna!”
“Hmm?” Sienna looked up blankly, her movements mechanical. She forced a smile. “I didn’t realize you were already here.
Josiah’s eyes darkened as he studied her face. “Why do you look so pale?” be probed
