Chapter 305
That day, Sienna went to see Derek and signed the contract.
“Sienna. Derek said with a sinile, shaking her hand, it’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Sienna chuckled and said, “1 hope I won’t be a trouble to you.”
“How could you be? Derek said. He led her out and said. “You’re someone I’ve been eager to work with. Come, let’s get you fitted and let Charles have a look.” He wrinkled his nose playfully and said, “No one is pickier than him”
Sienna smiled faintly and followed behind him
In the makeup room, the makeup artist and costume designer were already waiting. Although Sienna’s role was not a major one, styling could not be sloppy because of the character setting
makeup and
Nowadays, audiences weren’t easily fooled; if the portrayal didn’t live up to the title of the most beautiful woman in the world, they wouldn’t hesitate to voice their opinions. The character design included eight different makeup and costume looks, each of which needed to be photographed for posters, keeping everyone busy.
By the time Sienna finished removing her makeup, it was almost seven o’clock. Fortunately, her role wasn’t demanding every day, or she might have considered hacking out due to the late hours.
As she was about to leave, Derek came to her with a bouquet of flowers. He said. “Sienna, these are for you. Welcome to the team.”
“Thank you” Sienna said with a smile, accepting the flowers.
Derek checked his wristwatch and asked. “Are you heading home? I’m leaving too. It’s not easy to

felt a bit embarrassed. She said, “It’s too much trouble for you.
Derek tilted his head and said, “Not at all. Not to mention the great help you’ve been, but considering our friendship, driving you home is no big deal. My car is parked outside, let’s go.”
“Alright, thank you,” Sienna said
Derek drove Sienna to Sunshine Neighborhood. He pulled into the community and dropped her off at the building entrance,
“Thank you, Derek.” Sienna said as she got out of the car. She closed the door and waved at him, saying. “Drive safely
Just as Sienna turned around, Derek got out of the car and caught up with her. He called. “Sienna.”
Surprised, Sienna turned her head back. She saw Derek holding the flowers. He smiled and said, “You forgot your flowers.”
Sienna smiled and took the flowers. She said, “Thank you.”
Derek said, I’m off then. Then he got back in the car, rolled down the window, and reminded her, “Take a look at the script on your own first, and walt for my message. The script reading should be in the next couple of days.”
Sienna replied, “Okay” She waved and watched him leave.
After Derek drove away, Sienna turned her gaze back and was about to go inside. When she turned around, she was startled that her heart skipped a bear
Josiah was standing there, leaning against the wall in the doorway, staring straight at her. She had heard him come.
Sienna frowned and said angrily, “Can’t you make a sound?”
Josiah smirked. With evident jealousy, he said, “I didn’t want to disturb you. He had seen everything just
now; Sienna had been dropped off by a
He thought. That man is in his early thirties, average–looking, tall, but not as tall as me. What is the relationship between that guy and Sienna? Sienna doesn’t have many friends. I didn’t notice this guy before. And he has given Sienna flowers.
Josiah let out a dry laugh. He pretended to ask casually, “Who’s that g

“A friend,” Sienna replied calmly, not picking up on his underlying tone. She said, “You wouldn’t know him even if I told you
Hearing this, Josiah felt even more jealous. He thought, “What kind of friend drops someone off at home and gives them flowers? At this hour, they might have even had dinner together.”
Thinking this, Josiah looked at the flowers with extreme displeasure. He said, “These flowers aren’t that great. The petals are all wilted. Cheap stuff:
Sienna frowned and asked, “Josials, are you okay?”
Seeing her reaction. Josiah’s jealousy intensified. He said, “Tin stating the facts. A guy who’s pursuing you gives you such flowers, clearly he doesn’t care about you. He should at least give you fresh worried you might get deceived by his sweet talk”
Sienna couldn’t bear it any longer and cut him off, “Shut your mouth! What are you talking abour? Pursuing? Can’t a guy and a girl just be friends, colleagues
Hearing this, Josiah’s eyes lit up. He thought, That guy isn’t pursuing Sienna? But he still wasn’t reassured. He pouted and said, “But he gave you flowers“”
“So what if he gave me flowers! Who says flowers can only be given between boyfriends and girlfriends?” Sienna said, “Derek is a director, and I’m working under him now. The flowers were from the production team. Is there a problem?
Josiah already knew that Sienna had stopped dancing in the troupe. He thought, ‘Director? Production team! Is this her new job? So that’s how it is.
Josiah couldn’t help but smile. He immediately apologize, “No problem! I was just mistaken, don’t be angry.”
Sienna said, “Alright” She didn’t want to listen to his nonsense. She asked, “Why did you come here?”
Josiah lowered his head and looked at Sienna with a hint of grievance in his eyes. He said, “I texted you this afternoon, and you didn’t reply. I was worried about Joyce, so I came to check.”
Sienna had seen the message he sent She nodded and explained, “I was quite busy this afternoon, and it wasn’t intentional. Tara didn’t call me, so Joyce should be fine
“When I get back. I’ll record a video for you.” She added. “Also, I’ve taken on a job, so I’ll be busier than before and can’t promise to update you about Joyce every day.
“But I’ll reply as soon as I have time, so don’t worry about that.” Then she looked at Josiah and said. “I’m going up now!
“Wait, Sienna” Josiah stopped her, “I came today for another reason. Didn’t we agree to help you take care of your health? I’ve arranged a traditional medicine practitioner.”
Sienna realized what he was talking about. She nodded and said, “Okay.”
Josiah asked, “Are you free tomorrow! He observed Sienna’s expression and continued, “I can pick you up tomorrow afternoon, is that okay?”
“Sure,” Sienna had no objections and agreed readily, “Im going up then.”
“Sienna Josiah stopped her again.
Sienna asked, “What else?”
“I was wondering,” afraid Sienna would be unhappy. Josiah spoke in a low voice, “Do you still want to go back to the dance troupe?” He remembered that Sienna didn’t like the entertainment industry. He added, “If you want, I can…”
Sienna interrupted, “No need” She looked up at him, her eyes clear and bright. She said slowly but clearly, “You and I, aside from being Joyce’s father and mother respectively, have no other relationship.
“You just take care of Joyce, and my matters are none of your concern. Do you understand?” After saying this, Sienna walked past Josiah and went straight inside.
Josiah stood there, his expression slowly darkening. He understood what she said. He muttered, “But, Sienna, I can’t control myself”
