A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 328

Over an hour later, the bus finally ground to a halt. The driver raised his voice and woke up the groggy students who were on the cusp of falling asleep. "We're here."

Everyone filed out of the bus. All of them flexed their arms and stretched their legs as a fighting spirit flared in their eyes.

Cayden took Sierra's bag and helped her get off the bus. Then, he swept his eyes across his surroundings. "The other participants are here too. That guy over there is Lachlan Caldwell, also known as Ivory Maniac. That other guy is…"

Sierra had been away from the music circle for years, so she didn't know anything about anyone here. Now that he was introducing them to her, she had to keep her ears peeled.

Felicia noticed how their heads got closer by the second, and she looked even more awful. When she could no longer bear it, she moved forward and broke them up. "Cayden, what are you guys talking about?"

Sierra and Cayden frowned and took two steps back in unison, putting some distance between them and Felicia. They said simultaneously, "Nothing."

Felicia cursed Sierra internally, accusing Sierra of being shameless. After all, Sierra was a married lady, yet she was still seducing another man. "Sierra, I've seen how lovey-dovey you and Mr. Gray are on the internet. Isn't he going to watch you compete?"

Cayden's expression shifted slightly, and his eyes darkened.

"Mind your own business." Sierra gave Felicia a cold glance before turning around and walking away.

Sure, Felicia was ticked off by Sierra's attitude, but she was content. She'd take any insult if it meant keeping her away from Cayden.

…

After the lecturer in the lead talked to the venue staff, he clapped his hands and declared, "The competition will commence at 10:00 am. I want all of you to follow me backstage and get prepared."

As everyone filed into a line and walked inside, Cayden found Sierra once more and ensured no harm came to her. Felicia gnashed her teeth as she followed them, boring into Sierra's back with her murderous gaze.

"Sierra." A deep voice echoed from behind her.

Sierra's eyes immediately widened as she turned around in surprise. "What brings you here?"

Theo had a shirt on his arm that he hadn't had time to put on, and his hair was a little tousled, leaving his imposing presence for all to see.

The people around him wanted to take a gander at him, but they were scared at the same time. So, they could only peek at him as they muttered among themselves.
