Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 391 It wasn't quite 4 p.m. yet, but many guests had already arrived.

Sienna had arrived early. Derek and Charles hadn't arrived yet, so she found a corner and waited quietly for them. She held a glass of water and took occasional sips.

"Sienna," someone greeted her unexpectedly.

Sienna looked up to see Chelsea, a former student from the dance class she had taught at the TV station. Chelsea seemed delighted to see her. "It's really you! I thought I had mistaken you for someone else," she said.

Sienna smiled and greeted indifferently, "Hello, long tno see." Chelsea wasn't easy to deal with, so Sienna thought it was better to avoid her.

"Long tno see," Chelsea replied. She raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Why are you alone? Didn't you cwith Josiah?" Sienna was surprised. 'Josiah is here, too?' she wondered.

Chelsea noticed Sienna's expression and guessed, "Oh, you didn't know he was coming, did you? You two arrived separately? Don't tell me..." Chelsea's eyes widened in mock surprise as she continued, "Did you two break up?" Although they had made a high-profile announcement of their relationship not long ago, breakups were common, especially in wealthy families where temptation and choices abounded.

Under her intense stare, Sienna nodded and replied, "Yes, we broke up." Chelsea clapped her hands in delight and said, "Haha! Great! I knew it! I knew you two wouldn't last." Unable to contain her excitement, she continued, "I'll go find Josiah right now." She hurried off but turned back after a couple of steps, smiling smugly. She said, "Thank you, Sienna." 'Thank me?' Sienna thought. She was momentarily stunned before chuckling to herself.

Her phone rang. It was Derek. She quickly answered, "Hello, Mr. Pittman." "Sienna, Mr. Carter and I have arrived," Derek said.

"Alright, I'll cover now," Sienna replied. Ending the call, she immediately went to meet Derek and Charles. "Sienna, over here," Charles said.

Charles took the lead, introducing Sienna to Tobias, "Tobias, this is Sienna, whom I mentioned to you. Sienna, say hello." "Hello, Mr. Yowell," Sienna greeted and bowed slightly, composed and dignified.

"Hello," Tobias greeted back, nodding with a smile. He continued, "You look even more beautiful in person than in the photos and videos." Derek had already shown Tobias Sienna's profile. Tobias agreed to meet Sienna in person because he was satisfied with her credentials.

"You flatter me," Sienna responded.

Charles suggested, "It's a bit crowded here. How about we move there for a proper chat?" "Sounds good," Tobias agreed.

"This way, please," Sienna said.

After a round of introductions, Tobias seemed pleased with Sienna.

"Sienna, go get srest first," Charles said.

"Alright, Mr. Carter, Mr. Pittman, Mr. Yowell, take your time," Sienna replied.

They had business to discuss, so Sienna tactfully left. 'There is nothing more forto do here. I could leave after staying a little longer,' Sienna thought.

Since she didn't know many people there and couldn't squeeze into the excitement, she decided to find a quiet spot to pass the time.

Heading to the second floor, she found it less crowded. She stood on the balcony for about 20 minutes. Just as she was about to leave, she turned around and heard footsteps-more than one person approaching.

"Josiah, there you are." It was Chelsea's voice. Chelsea complained, "You're good at hiding. I've been looking for you everywhere." Then, Josiah's voice rang out, "Is something up?" "Yes," Chelsea answered, jogged up to Josiah, and intimately hooked her arm around his.

Josiah frowned and demanded, "Let go." Chelsea seemed not to hear him, still holding his arm. She said, "I heard you and that little vixen, Sienna, broke up." Josiah held a cigarette between his fingers and cast her sidelong glance. "And what does that have to do with you?" he asked.

"Of course, it does!" Chelsea exclaimed. Chelsea pouted and leaned closer to him. "Now that you're single, you can consider me. It's my turn," she continued.

Josiah let out a faint, cold laugh and asked, "Has anyone ever told you that you have thick skin?" Unbothered by his sarcasm, Chelsea replied, "If I didn't, how would I pursue you?" Josiah was rather surprised. He looked at her with amusement and said, "You're really putting yourself out there. You likethat much?" "Yes!" Chelsea answered. Completely unfazed, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and tiptoed closer, her voice dripping with seduction. "I like you. I want to sleep with you. Want a taste of me?" Seeing them getting all cozy, Sienna couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't bear to watch people getting intimate like that in public She couldn't help but scoff internally, 'A man's words are as fickle as the wind.' Just a couple of days ago, Josiah vowed to wait for her. And now he was holding another woman in his arms.

Sienna sneered under her breath and turned toward the stairs to leave. In her haste, she bumped into someone.

"Sorry," Sienna apologized out of reflex. Looking up, she realized it was Yosef said Yosef. "Sienna, it's yealized you with a gentle smile, unbothered. He asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's nothing," Sienna replied and shook her head. She couldn't exactly say she had just stumbled passionate scene. She continued, "I upon a was looking for the restroom, but this place is too big, I got lost." "I'll take you there," Yosef offered.

"That'd be great. Thanks," Sienna replied.

Yosef led Sienna toward the restroom, saying, "Just go straight down this hallway, and it's at the end." "Thank you," Sienna said.

"You're welcome," Yosef replied. Then, he suddenly recalled something and said, "Speaking of which, I should be thanking you." "Huh?" Sienna was puzzled. 'What would he thank me?' she wondered.

"Did you forget it? It's about my cousin, Cedric." Yosef reminded her, "A while ago, Cedric went on a blind date, remember? Luckily, you exposed that woman's two-time). not Otherwise, my dear cousin would have been fooled." 'Oh, that,' Sienna thought. She smiled, shook her head, and said, "It was nothing.

Cedric is my friend. I couldn't just sit back and do nothing." "You're right," Yosef sighed lightly, seemingly feeling a bit sorry for Cedric and Sienna. He said et has been busy with a project Lockagie lately. He poured himself into his work after his heartbreak, like a workaholic.

I can tell his heart is still set on you. He's waiting for you." Afraid he would continue, Sienna quickly interrupted, "Yosef, I'll head to the restroom now." "Ah, okay," Yosef responded.

Sienna turned and walked inside, unaware that someone was tailing her. It was Reyna. She had just happened to overhear the conversation between Sienna and Yosef.

"So that's how it is!" Reyna exclaimed. She was livid, her teeth grinding in anger. Glaring at Sienna's back, she waited for Yosef to leave before storming after Sienna.

Right at the restroom entrance, Reyna caught up and, without m warning, grabbed a fistful of Sienna's hair. She scolded, "Sienna, you bitch! So you're the one who ruined me!"
