Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 20 The phone rang and rang , but Josiah didnt answer .

Sienna frowned and let out a sigh , figuring he was likely tied up with some business lunch or another .

She had no choice but to wait .

Another hour passed , and it was 230 PM .

Only thirty minutes left before her 3 oclock meeting with Josiah .

Suddenly , her phone buzzed , and it was Josiah .

Without wasting second , she answered , Hello , its me Maybe because he was finally free of her , Josiah sounded uncharacteristically cheerful .

Hey , did you call ? I was just swamped .

After a brief pause , he asked .

Where are you ? At the courthouse already ? If you are , just hang tight .

Ill be there soon- Josiah .

Sienna cut him off , stumbling over her word .

Uh , sorry , think I cant make it today .

Can we reschedule ? Just for one day .

I promise Ill be there on time tomorrow .

Josiah went silent .

Then , a cold , sarcastic laugh came through , barely hiding his anger .

Sienna , youre doing it again , arent you ? Even now , youre still trying ? How long are you going to keep bothering me ? Sienna shook her head , No , I didnt Josiah brushed her off , speaking through gritted teeth , Sienna , hated you back then , and I still do now .

Stop living fantasy in a I swear I didnt , Sienna said , her voice tinged with desperation .

Dont worry .

But Im stuck at Bacchus Bridge now .

Its not just me there are a lot of peopl Why would she be at Bacchus Bridge ? Shes just making excuses , Josiah scoffed , clearly not buying it .

Really ? What a convenient coincidence .

I dont care where youre stuck .

You better listen crawl your way here if you have to .
