She quickly grabbed the towel off her head, wiped it a few times, took her phone and keys, locked the door, and rushed downstairs.

Once she was outside, she looked around, but couldn’t see Cedric “Where are you?” she muttered.

“Hey, Sienna, someone greeted..

At the sound of her name, Sienna’s shoulders tensed. She looked up and saw Josiah. She didn’t expect that he had actually followed her here.

Without wasting a second, she turned and ran.
