A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 284

Sierra tried several pieces on the piano, but none of them satisfied her. Realizing it was getting late, she decided to return to her room to rest for the night.

She sneaked into the bathtub and relaxed. It was at that moment when she was suddenly inspired, thinking of a few pieces that would be suitable for the competition.

When she finished drying her hair and walked out of the bathroom, she found Theo sitting on the bed, looking at his computer. Surprised, she asked, "Are you done with work already?"

"No." He looked up as he replied in a meaningful tone, "We haven't talked about what happened last night at the club."

As she explained, her voice became softer, and she buried her head into her chest, feeling a bit wronged.

He smiled softly. One hand was on her back while the other lifted her face, willing her to look at him. "What are you feeling wronged about? I didn't scold you."

She sniffed, then raised her eyes to meet his gaze. She suddenly remembered Madison saying, "He must like you."

As they locked eyes, the temperature in the room seemed to rise. She just had a bath but felt beads of sweat forming on her back again.

Lowering his gaze, he fixed his eyes on her red lips. His expression darkened as he instinctively moved closer...
