Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 18 Before Thomas and Yosef could say anything .

Cedric sprayed bi champagne everywhere .

Embarrassed , he quickly apologized , Sorry , but Josiah , thats such a cliche .

Using lines like that to impress girls these days will definitely get you turned down .

Josiah looked at him , confused .

Thomas and Yosef exchanged glances and burst into laughter , Oh man .

Thomas patted Josiah on the shoulder .

You got roastell by a kid , huh ? Josiah laughed helplessly , brushing Thomass hand away .

He then lifted his gaze back to the stage it felt so familiar , but he just couldnt place it .

As the song ended , Sienna removed her hat , placed it over her chest , and gave a slight bow to the audience .

The crowd erupted in cheers .

Hey , dont just take off the hat .

What about that mask too ? Yeah , that dance was amazing , and what a body ! I wonder what the looks like .

Come on ! No matter how loud the crowd got , Sienna just smiled , dipped into a slight knee bend , and twirled her way back to the wings .

Hey , why did you leave ? Dont go ! If you wont take off the mask , at least give us another dance .

Sienna didnt glance back , leaving the buzzing crowd in her wake as she made her way to her dressing room .

Soon , Henry walked in with a big grin on his face.

Sienna , your jazz performance was amazing ! Sienna stood up , smiling humbly .

Youre flattering me , Mr.

White .

I was just doing my normal dance .

No need to be modest Henry waved his hand dramatically .

Just like I expected , everyone outside is talking about you .

I told you , youre going to be a star .
