Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance
Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Sienna felt really nervous as she spoke .

She needed a job , and this opportunity had come out of nowhere .

Without thinking twice , she jumped right in .

Is that for real ? Kevin looked at her , unsure .

Sienna nodded quickly .

Yes , I cant fake dancing skills , can I ? Time was tight , and Kevin glanced at his watch and said , Alright youve got just thirty minutes .

You need to learn a new dance for the shoot .

Any issues with that ? No problem .

I just need to go through it twice , and Ill be ready Sienna said confidently .

Oh ! Kevin chuckled , thinking she might be overconfident .

Alright then , lets see what youve got .

If you cant get it in two tries , just leave .

Got it , Sienna replied , focused .

Follow me .

Kevin said , guiding her towards the group of dancers .

Here she is , folks .

I need you to run through the routine twice for her .

After that , Ill see how she does .

Okay , Mr.

Sullivan .

The group was made up of temporary dancers.

Sienna joined them , and after just one practice , she was ready to go .

The dance was simple just a basic group routine .

For a TV background gig , Siennas dancing was more than adequate .

Kevin observed from the side , and after two rounds , he clapped and cheered , Great .

You danced really well .

Youre in .

Thank you , Mr.

Sullivan , Sienna smiled .

Kevin clapped his hands .

Get her dressed and made up .

Were about to start filming .

Then he rushed off to find the director and updated him on the situation .

Once Sienna was all set , filming began .

Everything went smoothly , but due to some issues with the lead actor , they had to repeat the dance several times .

After filming , the production assistant came around to pay the stand in dancers .

Thank you , Sienna said with a smile , happily accepting her payment 300 dollars .

Her eyes lit up : t expected .

was more than she Once youve got your pay , youre free to go , the assistant said .

The rest of the shoot wouldnt involve them .

Sienna pocketed the cash , feeling pretty good about her extra earnings .

But just as she was about to leave , someone eaited out to her .

She turned and saw Kevin rushing toward her .

Mr.

Sullivan ? Thank goodness I caught you , Kevin said , slightly out of breath mething y Sienna was confused .

Is there need ? Yeah Kevin took a moment to catch his breath , then smiled .

I think your dancing was really impressive .

Thanks , youre too kind , Sienna replied with a soft smile , balancing confidence with humility .

Heres the deal , Kevin said as he pulled out his phone .

Lets swap contacts on WhatsApp .

We often need dance stand ins , and you have the look and skills were looking for .

Ill recommend you whenever theres an opening .

1/3 Chapter 24 Sienna was somewhat taken aback .

The idea of being a dance stand in had never crossed her mind before .

Noticing her hesitation , Kevin quickly added , The pay for landstand ins is way higher than what you made today .

So , what do you say ? Interested ? Instantly , Siennas hesitation vanished , Yes , thank you so much Just so you know , I work in the evenings , so Im available during the day , she said , taking out her phone .

Kevin scanned her code and added her on WhatsApp .

No problem .

Ill reach out when the timing is right , and you can come in .

Thats fantastic .

Thanks , Sienna beamed .

It was surprising how easily she found this part time gig .

She felt like feiacrity was her lucky place .

Growing up in Jeiacrity , Sienna was set on calling it home for good .

Shed been away for what felt like an eternity , but now , nothing and no one could drive her away again .

Because she earned an extra $ 300 , Sienna treated herself to a burger and fries for dinner .

As she set the food on the table , the delicious smell made her mouth water .

Just as she started to eat , her phone rang .

Glancing at the screen , she saw Josiahs name .

She suppressed a groan and answered , Hello ? Whats up ? Ready to the courthouse ? Is that all you ever think about ? Josiahs sarcastic reply came with a hint of annoyance .

Sienna , youre not just rude , youre also pretty ungrateful .

Sienna was puzzled why was he saying that ? Tomorrow ! Josiahs frustration grew as she stayed silent .

Grandanas surgery is tomorrow .

Sienna understood but wasnt about to take the blame .

Is it really tomorrow ? Alright , Ill be there early .

And dont accuse me of being ungrateful you didnt tell me Mirandas surgery was tomorrow .

Sienna Shaw ! Josiah was fed up .

Every time he brought something up , she had to argue .

This was a far cry from when she used to cling to him .

He missed that version of her .

Before he could criticize her further , Sienna said , Is there anything else ? If not , Im hanging up .

Wait .

Josiah gritted his teeth and insisted .

Where are you staying ? Ill pick you up in the morning , and well go together .

No need .

I can manage on my own , Sienna said without hesitation She refused my help ? Josiah was unhappy .

Im not debating this .

Were going to Grandmas together tomorrow thats what you promised me .

Oh right , we need to keep up appearances for Miranda .

Sienna rubbed her forehead and sighed , Fine , lets go together then .

Where do you live ? Josiah asked again .

Sienna thought for a moment she definitely couldnt let Josiah pick her up at her place .

It wasnt that she feared his teasing : she just didnt want him in her space .

Meet me at Lyceum Street she decided .

Okay .

Josiah hung up the phone , pondering Lyceum Street ? The impoverished part of town ? Thats quite a trek .

What a hassle .

The next morning , Sienna left her home early and arrived right on time at eight oclock .

To her surprise , Josiahs car was already parked there .

9/2 22:22 Sat , Jan 4 GL Chapter 21 白米 70 % 會 Zaid stepped out and opened the car door for her , indicating the back seat where Josiah was already settled .

Ms.

Shaw , please get in .

he said courteously .

Thanks , but Im feeling a bit carsick .

Ill sit in the front instead , Sienna smiled , opened the front passenger door , and climbed in .

Zaid chuckled awkwardly and got back into the car .

Josiah raised his eyes and fixed a serious gaze on Siennas profile .

Is she deliberately avoiding me ? Does she think Im bothered ? This is exactly what I wanted , he thought to himself with a smirk .

The roads were clear , and they made it to the nursing home before eight thirty .

Since it was Mirandas surgery , they headed straight for the surgical building- As Josiah and Sienna strode side by side into the surgery building , they unexpectedly bumped into Yvette in the elevator lobby .

Yvette , accompanied by Janet , was waiting for the elevator .

She smiled and waved when she saw them .

Hey , Josiah.

Then her gaze shifted to Sienna , and she maintained her friendly smile .

Sienna , youre here too .

Josiah nodded before asking , Arent you supposed to be working today ? Why did you come here ? You could have come after finishing your shift .

How could I do that ? Yvette rolled her eyes playfully .

Miranda is my family too , Is work more important than family ? Josiah didnt press the issue further .

Instead , he gestured to her foot .

Still hurting ? Just a little, but its no big deal now , Yvette smiled softly .

Just then, the elevator arrived .

Josiah held the door open , letting Yvette and Janet in first .

Then he turned to Sienna and said Come on in .
