“No… Sienna shook her head, raising her bandageil handl slightly

In the short time Josiah had been gone, she had already wrapped her hand with a handkerchief, albeit hastily. She was much

calmer now.

Looking at Josiah’s face, darkened by anger, she spoke evenly, bee tone polite but distant. “It just looks worse than it is. Really, I’m fine. Thank you for helping me

Her detachment only made Josiah pause. Being turned down again and again should’ve angered him further, but strangely. he felt no rage, just a sense of helplessness.

Yet, he refused to leave.

“Cut the small talk. I’ve already stepped in, so there’s no way In leaving you here alone.” He suddenly stopped and glanced at her pointedly.

“Where’s Cedric Isn’t he your boyfriend? Where is he in a moment like this?” he asked.

“Got it,” Cedric said quickly. “Wait for me. I’ll be there soon.”

each other, after all.

Once she hung up, she turned to Josiah. “Cedric will be here soon.

As if reading her thoughts, Josiah exhaled a slow ring of smoke efore looking at her. Til go once Cedric gets here,” he explained

This surprised her. Josiah, who was always so domineering, could actually be this considerate,

What surprised her even more was that Cedric arrived in no time

“Siennal” Cedric jogged up to her, slightly out of breath,

“So fast?” Sienna was startled. It had only been a few minutes since the call.

I was already at Mousea House, Cedric explained, still catching his breath. He had been dining with some clients, but as soon as he got her call, he apologized to them and left immediately.

“It’s fine, Cedric replied easily. “Work will always be there.”
