Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 137

Rosic pointed at the pearls on the headband. “Look, Tayitian pearls, quite nice quality. For a headband, though, they’re a bit small.”

“Really expensive?” Sienna asked.

“These few pearls would be at least 300 dollars on the market.” Rosie estimated. She glanced at Sienna with curiosity and asked, “Didn’t you buy it yourself?”

“No.” Sienna shook her head. She couldn’t bring herself to buy something like that. If she’d known Josiah got something so expensive, she wouldn’t have accepted it.

Before each evening’s show, the dance crew would eat dinner in advance. Before applying makeup, Sienna and Rosie decided to grab some food at the shopping street nearby.

On their way back, they spotted Cedric’s tall figure under the streetlamp from afar He was holding a bag and looking longingly at Sienna as she slowly approached.

Rosie glanced at Sienna and said, “I’ll go in first.”

“Okay,” Sienna nodded. With no way to avoid it, she walked right up to Cedric and stopped in front of him, slightly frowning. “You…”

Just then, Cedric lifted the bag in his hand, filled with desserts from Tasty Bites. “Here.”

Sienna didn’t take it and sighed helplessly, “Cedric, do you really want to turn me into someone I dislike?”

“Don’t be angry,” Cedric said cautiously, watching her closely. “I just wanted to come and see you.”

“Cedric-

“I have to leave Jeiacrity tonight,” Cedric interrupted her quickly, worried she might say something hurtful. “I won’t be able to visit you every day anymore.”

What did he mean? Sienna was slightly taken aback. “Where are you going?”

Cedric noticed the concern in her eyes and smiled gently. “I’ve found a job. It’s with a company run by a classmate, and I’ll be joining as a technical partner.” Without his family’s backing, he only had his own abilities.

“It’s a small company, just starting out, and we have very few employees,” Cedric explained. “So there’s a lot of work to do. I need to go to Harbwood to meet with a couple of partners.”
