Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 45

“ What’s this ?” The soft , slimy feeling on his foot sent shivers up Josiah’s spine .

He took out his phone for light and realized he had stepped on some sticky food .

It seemed like some kind of soup .

Josiah moved his foot away in disgust , stomping it hard twice , and walked off with a scowl .

Behind him .

Sienna suddenly flung open the door .

She just realized that her pumpkin soup might have been thrown out earlier .

Using her phone’s flashlight , she finally found it in the corner .

Unfortunately , it had been smashed , with the soup spilled everywhere .

Sienna sighed regretfully .

“I can’t have it now.

Turning around , she picked up a broom and dustpan .

Since it was her item and she had made the mess , it was only right for her to clean it up ,

This little mishap with the pumpkin soup didn’t bother Sienna much .

Early the next morning , following the address sent by Derek , Sienna arrived on time at the location , along with several other dance stand – ins

To her surprise , Charles was there too , along with the choreographer .

Charles said , “ I’ll keep it simple .

I’ve already told the choreographer my expectations for the dance .

I want everyone to practice the movements they’ve designed thoroughly , making sure everything flows perfectly during filming .

No stops allowed .”

Charles was famous for his one – take shots , holding even dance stand – ins to the standards of actors .

“ Understood .

” Sienna quietly motivated herself .

But she wasn’t afraid .

A dancer just needed to dance well .

That was their Job .

All morning , the stand – in dancers practiced tirelessly with the choreographer , sweating profusely .

There was no doubt that Charles’s standards were very high .

And that was just one segment .

Apparently , it was for the opening part

It wasn’t until a little after 2 p.m.

that the choreographer clapped her hands , letting them go .

“ Keep practicing at home .

You all know Mr.

Carter’s standards , ” she reminded them .

‘ Got it

“ Okay ”

Sienna packed her things and rubbed her stomach , feeling a bit hungry .

They provided packed lunches earlier , but she danced it all off by now .

She wondered if she should grab a burger or go home to cook some pasta .
