Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 122

When something happened, the first person she wanted to turn was him.

“Sienna,” he began.

Cedric’s gaze was intense. “From now on, just like today, no matter what happens, call me right away. I don’t care what I’m doing. I’ll drop everything and come to you”

Sienna froze, momentarily at a loss for words.

To say she wasn’t moved would be a lie. Her chest felt warm, almost glowing. This feeling of being genuinely valued was wonderful

Before now, she wouldn’t have dared to imagine being treated with such care, as if, in his world, she was his top priority.

Everything else came second.

“It’s getting late. I’ll head out now. You should rest early, Coodnight, Cedric said.

“Not wanting to disturb her, Cedric gave a small wave and turned to leave.

“Goodnight,” Sienna whispered softly as she gently closed the door.

Moments later, her phone chimed with a new message from Cedric

Cedric: [Don’t let the wound get wet, and don’t forget to take your medicine.]

Sienna’s breath hitched. Her nose stung, and tears filled her eyes.

After seeing Sienna off, Josiah turned and summoned Zach.

“Mr. Flynn, your orders?” Zach asked,

Josiah’s sharp eyes narrowed. Those who knew him well understood this expression. His mood was anything but pleasant.

“Handle Enio,” he ordered.

Zach hesitated, unsure of his exact meaning. “Mr. Flynn, when you say handle… what level are we talking about?”

Josiah let out a cold laugh, his lips curling into a sinister smirk. Canceling his new film isn’t nearly enough. I want him erased. From now on, I don’t want to see his name in this industry again.”

It was to blacklist him in the industry. Zach stiffened but quickly responded. “Understood.”

He had accompanied Josiah tonight and had naturally witnessed what had happened with Sienna earlier. So, this was about standing up for Sienna.

But this was a bit much.

Umbag Enio had the audacity to touch Sienna. Blacklisting him was already merciful. The fact Josiah didn’t break his hands already showed he was showing restraint.

Yel Josiah didn’t think so. That

The thought made Josiah’s head ache. ‘Couldn’t she just stay out of trouble at the dance studio? Instead, she got expelled, he wandered.

She had barely set foot in the entertainment industry and was already being bullied. She really knew how to make him

WOTTY.

Chapter 122

No. She needed to go back to the dance studio where she belonged. But Cedric had already tried using Thomas’s mothers connections, and that path was clearly a dead end.

So, what other options are there?‘ he wondered. Josial glanced Zach Does Brenda have any weaknesses?”

“Huh?” Zach blinked in surprise before shaking his head. I’m no sure… But everyone has a weakness. No one’s ant exception

Josiah’s piercing eyes narrowed further. “Then have someone look into Brenda. I want every detail, no matter how small”

He refused to believe she was untouchable. There had to be a way to send Sienna back to Lightning Dance.

“Yes, Mr. Flynn. Zach nodded.

The next day, Sienna arrived at the set, her heart pounding with anxiety. After last night’s mess, she had no idea how to face Derek or Charles.

“Sienna, you are here!” To her surprise, Derek greeted her as though nothing had happened.

“Quick, Mr. Carter is free right now and wants to see you,” said Derek.

“Oh, okay.” Sienna nodded. Completely baffled, Sienna followed him to meet Charles.

“Sienna. Surprises just kept coming. Today, Charles was noticeably warmer toward her than ever before. “You’re here! Come on, and sit down so we can talk,” he said.

-Sfenna felt flattered but quickly waved it off. “No need, Mr. Carter. Did you need something from me?”

Noticing her unease, Charles found it strange. “You seem a little nervous. Is it because I didn’t step in last night? About what happened then…”

“It’s not that.” Sienna hurriedly shook her head. “I understand the situation. It wasn’t easy for you or Derek to handle” “Good to hear.” Charles sighed in relief, a smile spreading across his face. “But we’d still appreciate it if you could say a few nice words about us to Mr. Flynn.”

“What?” Sienna froze, looking utterly confused. “Mr. Carter, what are you talking about?”

“Huh?” Charles looked even more surprised than she did, thinking she was playing coy. “Sienna, this isn’t fair, you know. Sure, you’ve got Mr. Flynn backing you now, but don’t forget, we were the ones who gave you your start, right?”

Sienna was even more taken aback. What does he mean by saying I have Mr. Flynn backing me now?‘ she wondered.

“No, that’s not… Sienna chuckled helplessly, realizing they’d misunderstood. There’s nothing between me and Mr. Flynn, not in the way you’re thinking”

“And what exactly do we think?” Charles and Derek exchanged knowing smiles, waving their hands dismissively. ‘Are you afraid we’ll spread rumors? Don’t worry. As long as it’s about Mr. Flynn, we wouldn’t dare say a word.

“…” Sienna tried to deny it again, but Derek cut her off. “Sienna, there’s no need to hide it from us. Let me tell you something. Enio’s been blacklisted in the industry.”

“What?” Sienna exclaimed. The news hit her like a boulder dropping into a still pond, each wave of shock bigger than the last.

From Derek’s tone, it sounded like Josiah was behind this. “Who else could it be but Mr. Flynn?” Derek said matter–of–factly. “Last night, he was the only one there who had that kind of power.

Seeing her confusion: Derek added, “What? Mr. Flynn didn’t tell you?

20:52 Mon, Jan 6

Chapter 122

“No.” Sienna shook her head, bewildered.

“Then he probably wanted it to be a surprise,” he said.

Sienna furrowed her brows, a tangle of doubt in her mind. ‘Did siah really do this? For me? she thought.

It didn’t seem possible. When they were siblings, even when they were married, he’d never gone out of his way to do anything for her. Why would he now, when they had no relationship at all?

“Sienna,” Charles interrupted her thoughts, steering the conversation toward business. “With Enio out of the picture, I have an idea. I’d like to promote you to the second female lead. What do you think?”

Initially, he wouldn’t have dared to suggest it. But things were different now,

East Entertainment was backing the production, and Josiah had clearly taken an interest in Sienna. From now on, it wouldn’t be surprising if they had to rely on her just to stay afloat.

Promoting her served two purposes. Charles genuinely believed in her potential, and it would also please Josiah. Why not kill two birds with one stone?’ he wondered.

“The second female lead?” Sienna hadn’t expected this turn of events. After last night, she thought her chances at acting might have been ruined. Instead, her role had been upgraded. I’m worried I might not be able to handle it,” she admitted hesitantly.

“There’s nothing to worry about,” Derek reassured her. “Yes, acting talent matters, but do you think Mr. Carter’s just here for the show? A good director knows how to draw out an actor’s potential and guide their performance.”

“Exactly.” Charles nodded approvingly. “Sienna, I believe in you, Trust me. You’ve got this.”

“But…” Sienna was still unsure, struggling to make a decision.

“Are you worried something like last night might happen again? Charles waved dismissively. “Relax. You’re with Mr. Flynn now. No one would be foolish enough to mess with you.”

“That’s right,” Derek chimed in. “Sienna, just focus on your acting You’ve got nothing to worry about.”
