“ What should we do , then ? ” Miranda said .
Josiah’s tone was full of helplessness , yet it carried an unmistakable trace of affection .
“ She loves dancing , and if she can’t dance , she gets upset .
So why not make sure it’s in the best place possible ?
It made perfect sense .
Miranda couldn’t help but admire his thoughtfulness .
“ You really put a lot of effort into this ,” she said , glancing sideways at him .
“ Looks like you’re serious about Sienna , huh ? ”
“ Grandma , ” Josiah replied , slightly surprised , “ did you think I was just fooling around ?
“ Alright , alright ” Miranda sighed and nodded .
“ As long as you don’t hurt her , I won’t meddle in how you go after her .
That’s all on you .
”
Thanks , Grandma .” A slight smile played on Josiah’s lips .
“ I’m planning to wait until Sienna gets back so I can go with her .
” His gaze darkened briefly before he continued , “At a time when Yvette’s mot around …
It wasn’t exactly a secret that Sienna and
Yvette didn’t get along
“ That’s the right call , Miranda said in a lower voice as if giving him a warning “ No matter what happens between you and Sanna , you need to show some respect la Yvette .
She’s been through a lot these past few years ”
Miranda sighed deeply .
“ That child’s Yvette’s sore spot …
While they could all forgive Sienna’s mistakes , it wouldn’t be so easy for Write .
Even though the claimed to have moved on , Josiah could sense that deep down , she still held a grudge against Sienna
Grandma , I understand .
” Josiah’s eyes darkened , his voice carrying a weighty promise .
“ Don’t worry , I’ll handle it .
Now , Grandma , you should drink your milk and go to bed ”
“ Oh , alright Miranda nodded .
Outside the room , Yvene froze , holding her breath .
She crept away as quietly as she could , her face pale , her mind a mess
So Josiah’s real reason for keeping Sienna from finding work was to get her into Brenda’s dance studio
And then he had the nerve to talk about pursuing her .
Isn’t he supposed to hate her ? Hasn’t be sworn he’d never forgive her she wondered .
How could things have changed so drastically ! Did something happen !
Two days later , Sienna returned with Brenda .
She had just started at the dance studio and hadn’t even been assigned a program or set fool on stage
Brenda wanted her to get familiar with the studio’s staff , layout , and routines as quickly as possible .
All her transportation was arranged by Brenda’s assistant , and they traveled by high – speed train .
Once Sienna found her seat and settled in , her phone buzzed .
It was Josiah .
“ Hello “ ” she answered as she swiped to pick up the cail .
“ You’re back , right ? ” Josiah’s voice carried an understated warmth .
“ What time will you arrive at the station ! I’ll send Zaid to pick you up .
Come by
the office .
”
“ The office ” Sienna frowned .
“ What’s going on ? Is something wrong ? ”
“ Not at all ,” Josiah replied , keeping the details vague .
“ You’ll find out when you get here .
Don’t worry … it’s good news ?
“ Alright , 1 can come .” Sienna’s tone was more police than usual , likely due to the help Josiah had given her with the dance studio .
“ But there’s no need for Zaid to pick me up .
I’ll get there on my own .
”
Josiah sounded annoyed .
“ Why turn down a ride when it’s already arranged ? ”
“ Wait , ” Sienna said quickly , sensing his temper flare.
There are a lot of coworkers traveling with me .
Your car’s too flashy , I just started at the studio , and I got in through connections as it is .
I don’t want to draw too much attention ”

“ Oh , I see … ” Josiah’s tone softened .
“ Alright , fair enough .
If you want to keep a low profile .
I’ll go along with that ”
He chuckled lightly before adding , “ Sienna , isn’t it good that I’m willing to listen to you like this ? ”
“ Is he crazy ? she wondered .
Sienna was startled enough to end the call abruptly .
“ Huh ? ” The coworker sitting next to her looked over with concern .
“ Sienna , are you okay ? Your face is so pale !”
“ My face! ” Sienna instinctively touched her cheeks , confused .
“ Yeah .
” Her coworker gestured teasingly .
“ It’s so pale like you just saw a ghost or something ”
“A ghost ? Sienna forced a smile as she thought , “ Well , if hearing Josiah say those things doesn’t count as seeing a ghost , what will
Meanwhile , Josiah stared at his phone , his brow twitching before he suddenly chuckled “ She hung up on me .
‘ Fine , he thought , ‘ I wouldn’t let myself get mad .
I can’t afford to Setting the phone down , he focused on his work .
He had plans for the evening , to visit Howard and spend time with Sienna , so he needed to finish everything first .
Passing by the secretary’s office , he noticed the team enjoying their afternoon tea .
Josiah walked past but quickly turned back , stopping in front of Lucy’s desk .
“ Hello , Mr.
Flynn … ” Lucy stammered , visibly nervous .
She hurriedly wiped her mouth and stred up
“ Hi ” Josiah curved his lips into a smile , his gaze briefly sweeping the roman .
Instantly , all eyes in the secretaries’office locked onto Lucy ‘ Mr.
Hynn has just smiled at her Smiled ? What’s going on ? Could it be .
Mr.
Flynn has taken a liking to Lucy ? ‘ they wondered .
Lucy’s own thoughts ran wild .
Her face flushed as excitement bubbled up inside her .
Mosiah was young , wealthy , and admired by coumless employers across the company .
Oh my god , am I really this lucky ? she thought
“ Excuse me , ” Josiah began , promptly barsting her bubble .
He pointed at the brown paper bag on her desk “ What’s that ? ”
“ This ? ” Lucy quickly picked up a small round treat from the bag .
“ To’shawthorn candy , Mr.
Flynn .
It’s coated with a layer of sugar ”
“ Oh , they taste pretty good , don’t they ? ” he asked
“ Uh , year ” Lucy nodded eagerly .
“ Would you like to
to try some ? ”
“Il pass , ” Josiah said with a wave of his hand , then smiled again .
“ But you know what ? Why don’t you get me a bag ! Actually , make it two
Considering book few pieces were in one bag , two seemed more reasonable .
“ Two ? ” Lucy blinked , dumbfounded .
‘ Mr.
Flynn came all the way over just to ask me to buy hawthorn candy ? ‘ she wondered .
“ Something wrong ! Josiah raised an eyebrow , “ Can’t do it .
“ No , no , of course I can ! Lucy said quickly T get them right away .”
Her dreams might have been crushed , but the idea of Josiah craving hawthorn candy was just too endearing .
Probably no one would’ve thought
“ Mr.
Flynn ,” Lucy hesitated , picking up her phone , still a little giddy .
“ How should L , uh , get the money from you ? ”
Is this my chance to exchange WhatsApp details she wondered .
“ Oh , right , the money … Josiah appeared to remember , then gestured behind him at Zach .
“ Ask Mr.
Reed ”
With that , he strode off , leaving Zach to add , “ Come find me after the meeting .
”
“ Okay , Mr.
Reed … ..
” Lucy sighed , realizing she wouldn’t be getting anything out of this encounter after all
Her coworkers began teasing her .
“ Dreaming , weren’t you ? Mr.
Flynn isn’t the type to Dirt ”
“ Alright , break it up .
I’ve got to buy Mr.
Flynn his hawthom candy ”
“ Don’t forget two bags ! ”

Chapter 99
They burst into Lughter .
After his meeting , Josiah returned to his office , only to find Yvette waiting for him .
“ Yvette , what brings you here ! Is something wrong ? ” he asked .
Yver had only just arrived and barely sat down for two minutes before Josiah walked in .
His question sounded casual , but the memory of his conversation with Miranda lingered in Weir’s mind
It left her with the distinct impression that he wasn’t happy to see her .
“ What’s the matter ? Yvette asked her tone cool .
“ Not happy to see met
