Disappointment was inevitable, and Cedric was prepared for that. He raised his hand, giving a bag to Rosie. “Could you please give this to Sienna?”

“Oh, sure.” Rosie quickly took it and glanced at the bag–it was desserts from Tasty Bites.

“Thanks,” Cedric said with a slight smile. “I’ll head out now.”

“Alright, take care.”

“Hmm.”

Watching Cedric’s back as he left, Rosie sighed and turned back to the backstage area. She placed the bag in front of Sienna and said, “Here, this is from him. Desserts from Tasty Bites, not cheap at all.”

Sienna frowned, feeling a heaviness in her heart.

Rosie, curious, couldn’t help but ask, “Are you avoiding him on purpose? He seems nice and polite. Don’t you like him?”

“Yeah, he’s not bad, totally not.” Sienna didn’t answer the last question and sighed helplessly, “It’s exactly because he’s so good that I have to avoid him.”

“What?” Rosie was surprised. Thinking about Cedric, she guessed, “Is he some kind of rich kid?”

“Yeah,” Sienna nodded.

Rosie suddenly understood, thinking for a moment before nodding, “I get it. I understand your choice. Us regular folks should probably just stay in

our lane.”

“Yeah,” Sienna replied. Somehow, she felt that Rosie seemed a little down and distracted. But Rosie quickly recovered, her smile blossoming gently. “I’ll go get you some clothes.”

Sienna smiled, “Thanks.”

Josiah parked the car by the side entrance of the dance troupe. After waiting for almost half an hour, he finally saw someone come out.

This was the staff exit, so everyone leaving was part of the dance troupe. From a distance, Josiah saw Sienna walking over, linking arms with another girl, chatting and laughing.

He swung the car door open and got out, jogging a few steps until he stood right in front of her. “Sienna.”

Sienna stopped short, looking at him in surprise. “Do you need something? Is Miranda looking for me?”
