Chapter 310
Yosefโs words struck Cedric like a bolt of lightning. โYouโฆ what did you say?โ Cedric stood there, dazed, seemingly unable to process the information.
Yosef sighed softly. โI really shouldnโt be telling you this.โ He explained, firstly, Josiah was his friend, and this felt like a betrayal. After all, they all knew that despite his separation from Sienna, Josiah had no intention of letting her go. Secondly, he did it for Cedricโs sake. Cedric had clashed repeatedly with his family over Sienna, and his determination to go abroad remained unshaken, despite their attempts to dissuade him. Yosef had no choice but to take a gamble.
Cedric, however, had snapped back to reality, his expression now tinged with excitement. โYouโre serious! Sienna and Josiah broke up?โ
โYes,โ Yosef nodded.
Cedric grabbed Yosefโs shoulders excitedly. โThank you! I owe you one, bro!โ
โForget it,โ Yosef waved his hand, a wry smile playing on his lips. โIโm not sure if what Iโm doing is right or wrong.โ The truth was, Sienna was the only thing preventing Cedric from leaving.
That day, Sienna was heading to a script reading session. Josiahโs Bentley Continental was parked outside, and he stood by the car door, waving with a smile.
Sienna frowned and approached him. โWhy are you here? Neither Joyce nor I need a follow-up check today.โ
โI know,โ Josiah replied faintly, opening the car door. โIโll take you to the set.โ
โHow did you know I was going to the set?โ Siennaโs frown deepened.
โChecking up on you?โ she mused. Heโd done this countless times before.
โAs the biggest investor,โ Josiah neither confirmed nor denied, โI have the right to know the crewโs basic schedule.โ
Sienna wanted to laugh. Is this his goal? To invest just to keep an eye on her? A sense of helplessness washed over her. โJosiah, where exactly have I not made myself clear?โ
โNothing,โ Josiah leaned against the car, looking elegant and refined. โYouโve been very clear. You donโt want to be with me; you only accept my responsibility for Joyce. I understand that.โ
โThen what are you doing?โ Sienna spread her hands.
Josiah chuckled softly. โYou seem to be the one who doesnโt get it. My intention to be with you, to pursue you, hasnโt changed.โ
โWhat?โ Sienna was taken aback. Is there such logic? โBut Iโve already refused you!โ
โYou can keep refusing me,โ Josiahโs eyes were intense. โItโs okay. Iโll keep chasing.โ
Sienna felt a ball of frustration building. โYouโre being unreasonable!โ
โYes,โ Josiah admitted without hesitation. โBut what can I do? I want to do this. I have to do this. You came to the Flynn family when you were fifteen. You know me. When I decide to do something, I just have to do it!โ
Sienna glared at his handsome face, gritting her teeth. โYou really have some nerve!โ
Josiah smiled pleasurably. โIโll take that as a compliment.โ He gestured for her to get in. โItโs getting late. If you donโt get in the car now, youโll be late. But donโt worry, if that happens, Iโll go in with you, and no one will dare to give you any attitudeโฆโ
โDonโt you dare?โ Sienna was exasperated. She had no doubt he would actually do it.
โSure thing,โ Josiah smirked. โGet in.โ
Siennaโs brows furrowed. โLet me tell you, youโre not going to get your way!โ
โThatโs my problem,โ Josiah raised an eyebrow, helping her into the car. โIf youโre not going to let me have my way, then donโt worry about it.โ He closed the door and drove her to the set.
Fortunately, Josiah kept his word and didnโt follow her in. He didnโt appear all day. However, the crewโs attitude towards her had undeniably changed. Everyone was flattering and cautious, with plenty of envy and jealousy, especially Maggie.
During a break, Maggie brought Sienna a bottle of water.
โThanks,โ Sienna said, despite already having water. โHow much does it cost? Iโll transfer the money.โ
โNo need,โ Maggie waved her hand. โItโs just a bottle of water. Compared to the Tasty Bites Mr. Flynn treated everyone to, itโs nothing. Mr. Flynn is really good to you. Is he coming to pick you up today?โ
Sienna shook her head. โNo.โ
โWhy not? Does he have some business to attend to?โ Maggie asked.
Before Sienna could answer, her phone rang. A message from Cedric: "Sienna, can I see you?"
Another message arrived, from Josiah: "Sienna, Iโll pick you up when youโre done."
Sienna didnโt want to see either of them. She hesitated before replying to Cedric: "[Sure]"
Cedric replied: "[I'll come to find you.]"
Sienna sent him the time and place. Cedric had unresolved issues, and she should clarify things with him.
The script reading ended, and she left the set. Maggie excitedly linked arms with Sienna. โItโs Mr. Flynn! You said he wouldnโt come? Mr. Flynn is really good to you.โ
Sienna frowned, spotting Josiah by his car, waving. She then noticed Cedric on the other side.
โSienna,โ Cedric called.
Sienna nodded and walked towards him. She felt Josiahโs gaze turn cold. Cedric, noticing Josiah, smiled, opened his car door, and said, โGet in.โ
Sienna smiled faintly, got in. As the car pulled away, she instinctively looked in the rearview mirror. Her heart skipped a beat. The Bentley Continental was following closely behind. Josiah had followed!
Cedric, noticing, asked, โShould we lose him?โ
โNo need,โ Sienna shook her head. โLet him be.โ
โAlright,โ Cedric nodded, respecting her decision. โWeโll just ignore him.โ
Sienna wondered, Why does he say that? Does he know something?
