Chapter 203
“Here you go” Josiah extended his phone toward Siemu. “What’s the matter? Are you really this scared of me? Am I that intimidating?”
“Thanks” Sienna dared not provoke him. After all, she needed his help.
Sull, her expression betrayed her.
“What are you thinking about?” Josiah’s rage dissipated, leaving him looking unusually gentle.
He teased her. “Are you thinking I really am scary!”
Before Sienna could refute him, Josiah grabbed her hand and tagged her closer to him.
Caught off guard, Sienna almost lost her balance and fell against his chest.
Josiah steadied her with one hand on her waist, while the other brushed her hair aside, tucking it gently behind her ear.
He chuckled lowly, his tone soft and deliberate. “So what if I’m scary? You still care about me, don’t you”
Sienna’s eyes
s widened in shock
Wait a second. What did he just say? Care about him? When did I ever care about him?‘ she thought.
Josiah cleared his throat, his amusement evident. Her wide–eyed expression was adorable. It stirred something in him.
Sienna was undeniably beautiful. And what captivated Josiah the most were her eyes, bright, lively, and particularly charming when she wasn’t. speaking
In the past, he hadn’t noticed because she used to talk too much.
Now, with her newfound quietness, her eyes seemed to shine even brighter.
are you staring at me like that? Did I say something wrong?”
Josiah gazed into them. “Why are y
He gestured toward her phone. “If you don’t care about me, then why were you secretly looking up Maggie behind my
Sienna blinked, suddenly understanding what he was getting at.
Oh wow Well, well, Mr. Flynn. Someone sure is full of himself. Where does he even get these ideas? she thought.
“Josiah” She tried to explain.
Tve made up my mind about earlier,” Josiah interrupted.
Sienna froze, momentarily forgetting her explanation. Taking a deep breath, she pursed her lips.

Gripping her phone tightly, she said. “As long as Rosie gets released, I’ll give you the phone. And… I didn’t record anything this time. I swear”
Taking Yvette down wouldn’t benelit Sienna in the slightest. All Sienna wanted was for Rosic to be safe.
“Sienna” Josiah’a tone lacked the menace and coldness it carried in the car carlier. “I want you back and be my girlfriend again.”

“Hey, hold on “Sienna was baffled. “Are we even talking about the same thing? Did you forget I have a video of Yvette?”

there’s enough money, a secret can stay a secret forever.”
His gaze lingered on her pale face, and a smirk curved his lips. “Don’t believe me? Try it.
“All it takes is a word from me. Any activity on your phone, on any of your social accounts…” He continued.
Sienna’s eyes squeezed shut, her lashes trembling faintly.
Josiah’s wealth and power on her own. But she couldn’t agree to his terms.
She knew she couldn’t fight Jo
The last time she had compromised, it was for the sake of her child. She didn’t want to be entangled with him again, not even for a second.
And now, she was pregnant again. If he finds out… she thought, horrified.
“Josiah,” Sienna said, her voice trembling as she pointed toward Maggie in desperation. “You already have a girlfriend. You don’t need me.
“Her!” Josiah let out a soft laugh, raising an eyebrow without offering any explanation.
“You’re right,” he began, his tone light and almost teasing. “Maybe I should try someone new and get a taste of what it’s like with other women. His gaze slowly shifted, locking onto Sienna’s face with an intensity that made her heart race
“But here’s the problem,” he continued, his voice dropping. Ive tried, and it’s useless. None of them are good enough. You, Sienna, you’re the only one who truly fits me,” he added.
His breath, warm and deliberate, brushed against her cheek, causing her to instinctively flinch.
Sienna stared at him, her lips pressed tightly together, refusing to my a word,
Josiah didn’t seem bothered by her silence. Instead, he chuckled softly.
“Not talking? That’s fine,” he said casually. “This is a big decision, after all. I’ll give you time to think it through. But..” His smile faded, and his tone hardened
“You only get one chance. I want your decision, not your excuses. He finished the sentence with a pointed look before taking her hand firmly in his. Sienna blinked in surprise. “Where are we going?”
Is he planning to drag me off right now!” she wondered nervously.
Josiah glanced at her, seemingly amused by her anxious reaction. “You’re so impatient, he said, shaking his head. “Relax. I meant what I said. I’ll give you time. But since I brought you here, it’s only fair I take you back.”
It was late, and Josiah wasn’t about to leave her alone.
The night posed its own dangers, especially for a young woman. Sienna had only recently arrived in Jeiacrity and had already experienced two accidents.
T’ll take
you home,” he added, leading her out of the grand hall.
“Mr. Flynn… Wait…” Before they reached the exit, Maggie came rushing up behind them, out of breath and visibly distressed.
The cast a pitiful glance in his direction. Her eyes darted to Sienna, jealousy flashing behind her carefully constructed innocent expression. “Are we
“Yes,” Josiah replied, nodding. “We are.” He tightened his hold on Sienna’s hand, pulling her closer. “Sienna and I, that is. You’re not included.” Maggie’s face paled, her heavy y makeup doing little to hide her shock
Her lip quivered, and tears began streaming down her cheeks. “But but, Mr. Flynn, you said I was your girlfriend. Are you just going to leave me
Josiah’s now furrowed deeply as he suppressed a sigh
East Entertainment’s manager actually hired someone this clueless! She’s this naive! Did she really take my joke seriously and think she was my girlfriend he thought incredulously
For the record, he didn’t even know her before today.
1:30 PM –
Chapter 203
Realizing Maggie hadn’t caught on to his plan to rile up Sienna, Josiah grew impatient.
It proved to be somewhat effective. At least, Sienna secretly looked into Maggie.
“Fine.” he said flatly. Then let me make it official. We’re breaking up.
Without giving her a chance to respond, he resumed walking, his grip on Sienna unwavering.
“Hey…” Sienna protested, glancing back at Maggie, who had broken into full–blown sobs.
She looked up at Josiah, her eyes wide with disbelief. What a jerk,‘ she thought.
Noticing her expression, Josiah smirked and glanced down at her, “What? Got something to say?”
Sienna scoffed, her voice laced with sarcasm. “You’re so ruthless when you’re dumping someone. So why couldn’t you take it directly when I broke up with you?”
“Oh?”
*Josiah stopped abruptly, turning to face her. “Do you want to interfere in my business!”
His deep eyes were like a swamp as if they could pull someone in.
“Fine,” he said, “but you’ll have to become my girlfriend first.”
Ha
softened for a brief moment as he added, “Sienna, listen to me. If we get back together this time, and I don’t mess up in a big way, you won’t be allowed to dump me so easily. Got it?”
