Siennas eyes squeezed shut , her lashes trembling faintly .

Josiahs wealth and power on her own .

But she couldnt agree to his terms .

She knew she couldnt fight Jo The last time she had compromised , it was for the sake of her child .

She didnt want to be entangled with him again , not even for a second .

Josiah , Sienna said , her voice trembling as she pointed toward Maggie in desperation .

You already have a girlfriend .

You dont need me .

Her ! Josiah let out a soft laugh , raising an eyebrow without offering any explanation .

Youre right , he began , his tone light and almost teasing .

Maybe I should try someone new and get a taste of what its like with other women .

His gaze slowly shifted , locking onto Siennas face with an intensity that made her heart race But heres the problem , he continued , his voice dropping .

Ive tried , and its useless .

None of them are good enough .

You , Sienna , youre the only one who truly fits me , he added .

His breath , warm and deliberate , brushed against her cheek , causing her to instinctively flinch .

Sienna stared at him , her lips pressed tightly together , refusing to my a word , Josiah didnt seem bothered by her silence .

Instead , he chuckled softly .

Not talking ? Thats fine , he said casually .

This is a big decision , after all .

Ill give you time to think it through .

But ..

His smile faded , and his tone hardened You only get one chance .

I want your decision , not your excuses .

He finished the sentence with a pointed look before taking her hand firmly in his .

Sienna blinked in surprise .

Where are we going ? Is he planning to drag me off right now ! she wondered nervously .

Josiah glanced at her , seemingly amused by her anxious reaction .

Youre so impatient , he said , shaking his head .

Relax .

I meant what I said .

Ill give you time .

But since I brought you here , its only fair I take you back .

It was late , and Josiah wasnt about to leave her alone .

The night posed its own dangers , especially for a young woman .

Sienna had only recently arrived in Jeiacrity and had already experienced two accidents .

Tll take you home , he added , leading her out of the grand hall .

Mr.

Flynn … Wait … Before they reached the exit , Maggie came rushing up behind them , out of breath and visibly distressed .

The cast a pitiful glance in his direction .

Her eyes darted to Sienna , jealousy flashing behind her carefully constructed innocent expression .

Are we Yes , Josiah replied , nodding .

We are .

He tightened his hold on Siennas hand , pulling her closer .

Sienna and I , that is .

Youre not included .

Maggies face paled , her heavy y makeup doing little to hide her shock Her lip quivered , and tears began streaming down her cheeks .

But but , Mr.

Flynn , you said I was your girlfriend .

Are you just going to leave me Josiahs now furrowed deeply as he suppressed a sigh East Entertainments manager actually hired someone this clueless ! Shes this naive ! Did she really take my joke seriously and think she was my girlfriend he thought incredulously For the record , he didnt even know her before today .

1:30 PM Chapter 203 Realizing Maggie hadnt caught on to his plan to rile up Sienna , Josiah grew impatient .

It proved to be somewhat effective .

At least , Sienna secretly looked into Maggie .

Fine .

he said flatly .

Then let me make it official .

Were breaking up .

Without giving her a chance to respond , he resumed walking , his grip on Sienna unwavering .

Hey … Sienna protested , glancing back at Maggie , who had broken into full blown sobs .

She looked up at Josiah , her eyes wide with disbelief .

What a jerk , she thought .

Noticing her expression , Josiah smirked and glanced down at her , What ? Got something to say ? Sienna scoffed , her voice laced with sarcasm .

Youre so ruthless when youre dumping someone .

So why couldnt you take it directly when I broke up with you ? Oh ? * Josiah stopped abruptly , turning to face her .

Do you want to interfere in my business ! His deep eyes were like a swamp as if they could pull someone in .

Fine , he said , but youll have to become my girlfriend first .

Ha softened for a brief moment as he added , Sienna , listen to me .

If we get back together this time , and I dont mess up in a big way , you wont be allowed to dump me so easily .

Got it ?
