Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 117

At Mousea House, when Cedric arrived, only Yosef and Thomas were there..

“What’s going on?” Yosef waved for Cedric to sit down.

Thomas put down the cup he was holding. “Yosef said you were looking for me. What’s up? If I can help. I’ll do what I can.”

“Thanks, Thomas. Time was running out, and thinking of Siennis exhausted and dispirited face, Cedric didn’t waste any time.

He got straight to the point. “Tll be blunt. Here’s the situation…

After hearing Cedric’s words, Thomas’expression was hard to real. This is what happened?”

It was hard to believe. Back then, Josiah had worked so hard to gull Sienna out of a place like Maze and get her into Brenda’s dance studio. And now, before she could even make a name for herself, she was getting kicked out.

“Thomas,” Cedric said urgently. “Isn’t Mrs. Zimmerman close with Ms. Scott? Do you think she can help out?”

“Well…” Thomas hesitated. It was a tricky situation because Josiah had already used that connection once.

But it was hard to refuse, so Thomas nodded. “Alright, I’ll talk to my mom and see what she says.”

Thank you. Thomas, Cedric said.

“Hey,” Thomas waved him off. “Don’t thank me just yet. This might not even work out.”

Thomas had heard his mother say that Brenda was very strict, and the only reason she took Sienna in was because of her skill. But now, it was about the dance studio’s regulations. It was going to be tough.

Hearing this, Cedric’s heart sank, but he still held onto a glimmer of hope. “No matter what happens, I appreciate you trying. Thomas.

“Alright.” Thomas stood up. “I’ll call my mom now.”

Thanks, Thomas Cedric smiled.

The phone call didn’t take long. In a few moments, Thomas returned, holding his phone.

“I talked to her. Now we just have to wait for my mom’s response, said Thomas.

“Okay” Cedric nodded with a furrowed brow, stood up, and glanced at Yosef. “Well, Yosef, I should be going.”
