Chapter 94
Out of nowhere .
Sienna interrupted the moment , raising her phone .
“ Excuse me , where is paying ? I will cover it .”
“ Well ..
” George was taken aback , instinctively glancing at Josiah .
“ What’s going on here ! he wondered .
Josiah , however , simply smiled , exuding a natural air of refinement .
His tone was distant and laced with sarcasm .
“ You pay ? Don’t be ridiculous .
T’s just a toy .
Why would she need to pay for it ? That’s absurd , he thought .
Josiah was well aware that Sienna hadn’t accepted any alimony , and the linle she earned from dancing at Maze wasn’t nearly enough to cover this .
“ Keep your paycheck for yourself .
I’ll take care of it , ” he said .
“ I want to pay for it myself ; Sienna insisted , summoning all her courage .
“ If you don’t let me , then .
I don’t want this Minnie Mouse anymore ! ”
“ Really now ? ” he wondered .
Josiah’s gaze softened as he observed her .
She can’t bear to let it go , can she ? From the moment they’d stepped in , eyes had been glued to the Minnie Mouse toy
He understood her resolve to maintain her independence and avoid getting entangled with him any further .
‘ Fine .
Let her have her way , he thought .
After all , it was his interference that had disrupted her plans .
Using this as a way to earn her gratitude seemed meaningless .
#
“ Alright ,” he relented , his tone carrying the indulgence of someone humoring a child .
You pay , as long as it makes you happy !
Hearing his agreement .
Sienna brightened instantly , failing to catch the faint trace of irony in his voice .
“ George , are we paying or not !”
her
“This way please ,” George replied , still slightly bewildered .
What a confusing relationship .
Oh well , I’ll just focus on doing my job , he wondered .
“ Will that be cash or card ? ” George asked .
“ Card Sienna replied promptly .
“ Got it , ” George said .
“ Now , the original price for this toy is 13,000 dollars .
The staff discount brings it down to 7,000 dollars , and since you’re a friend of Mr.
Flynn , I’ll offer you the wholesale price of 5.000 dollars .
Please swipe your card .
Wait , how much ? 5,000 dollars ? Sienna’s mind raced .
That’s an 8,000 – dollar discount just like that ? she wondered .
Overwhelmed with emotion , she al
almost teared up .
Thank you , thank you so much
“ No need to thank me : George replied modestly .
“ You should thank Mr.
Flynn instead .
”
Sienna understood .
All of this was because of Josiah .
As she swiped her card , Josiah wandered over and caught a glimpse of the price .
He raised an ryebrow in surprise .
13,000 dollars for a toy ! This thing ! While it’s not expensive for me , no ordinary family could afford to keep up with that ,’ thought Josiah .
He chuckled to himself , amused .
Doesn’t matter .
These days , I’m doing just fine without the Flynn family , he wondered .
Even the alimony specified in their divorce agreement had been money he earned himself , something he’d never shared with anyone .
Supporting Sienna wouldn’t be an issue for him now .
If nothing else , he’d rather pay for whatever she wanted than risk her throwing a tantrum , or worse , crying if she couldn’t get it
Suddenly , Josiah reached up and pressed his hand against his neck .
The spot where Siema had bitten him earlier still stung .
Sienna noticed and hesitated .
Was it really that bad ? Did I bite him that hard ? ‘ she thought .
“ You She bit her lip , quilt flashing across her face .
“ Does it hurt ? ”
If it hurts .
would you feel bad for me ? ” he teased , his lips curving into a playful smirk .
Sarrina Frege , Instantly regretting her question .
“ Humph ” Josiah muttered , frigning disappointment .
“ You’re the one who bit me .
Is a little concern too much to ask ? ”
He removed his land , revealing a s
a small , clear bite mark on his neck .
A faint trace of blood seeped from the wound .
