Chapter 17
Josiah quickly strode over, bent down to grab the tube of ointment, and checked it out. It was still sealed–she hadn’t touched it.
He couldn’t help but sneer, “Getting addicted to playing the pity and for sympathy?”
Humph. Did she think I would care? Considering what she did to Yvette four years ago, I’ve already been more than kind to her, Josiah thought, tossing the ointment into the trash bin,
After leaving Silver Beach, Sienna pulled out her phone. She opened WhatsApp, contacted a real estate agent, and spent the whole day apartment hunting. By the time evening rolled around, she’d found a place that seemed pretty good.
The apartment was tucked away in a less bustling part of the city, It was a one–bedroom, tiny and a bit shabby, but it had a kitchen and a bathroom. She was on a tight budget, so this was about all she could swing
The agent asked, “How is it? Does it work for you?”
“Yeah, Sienna nodded.
The agent beamed. “Alright, then let’s get that contract signed. Once we sign, I’ll get confirmation from the landlord, and if everything’s fine, you can move in within a couple of days”
550
That’s great, thank you,” Sienna said, relief evident in her voice. With the apartment situation settled, she finally got a good night’s sleep that night.
As for Josiah, as usual, he didn’t come home all night.
On Friday, Sienna got a solid nap in, recharging her batteries. Tonight was all about her debut–she had to be on top of her
with no room for errors.
On her first day at work, she couldn’t be late. She headed out early and arrived at Maze twenty minutes before the scheduled
time.
Henry greeted her with a warm smile and shook her hand. “Sienna, get ready. Tonight, the show’s all yours”
He gestured to the clothes beside him and added, “Everything’s set for you. We’re just waiting for you to blow everyone
away.
Sienna nodded with a gentle smile. “Mr. White, I’ll do my best.”
“Go for it. Hurry up and get your makeup done.”
“Alright, Mr. White.”
Following the rehearsal plan, Sienna was set to perform a jazz dance tonight–wearing a mask.
Henry
had explained, “The more you cover, the more they want to see, and the more curious they get, the less we reveal. “This way, you can make a name for yourself and then draw in guests and boost their spending. Plus, a face like yours is a trump card–it’s worth keeping a bit mysterious.
Sienna had kept her thoughts to herself. Her main goal was to make money, so however Henry wanted to set things up was fine by her.

As the time approached. Heory came over to hurry her along. enna, are you ready? It’s your turn to go on stage.”
“Yep.” Sienna replied, standing up. She took a deep breath, getting ready to step onto the stage. A pole dancer had already gotten the crowd hyped up, and compared to that sexy sultry ac Sienna’s outfit was definitely more “modest.”
The music kicked in, and she made her entrance. She wore a mask that covered the upper part of her face and went with bold, deep red lipstick. With her features, it looked stunning–definitely eye–catching and impressive,
Her long hair was styled in curls, topped with a tilted black hat, he wore a llowing white silk shirt that danced with her movements, along with loose, sheer harem pants that showed off her slim legs.
Once she stepped onto the stage, the spotlight found Sienna’s face. She smiled at the audience silently, but her presence exuded allure without a word needing to be spoken.
Soon, the sultry jazz tunes filled the room, and the crowd came live with excitement.
Not far off, in the lounge with a straight view of the stage, Josiah was chilling with Thomas, Yosef, and a few other guys, including Yosef’s cousin, Cedric Brawne.
Cedric had spent a few years studying abroad and came back with a more intellectual air about him. Tonight, Yosef and the others brought him here to get a taste of the world.”
Yosef poured a drink for Cedric. “You’re all grown up and about to start working at the company. You need to get used to such places.”
“Gott” Cedric nodded, looking a bit shy.
Suddenly, the atmosphere heated up, grabbing everyone’s attention. Even Thomas couldn’t resist looking over. “Hey, is that a new dancer? I haven’t seen her around before.”
Yosef nodded. “Yeah, looks like it.”
“Wow, she has such a tiny waist, Thomas remarked, glancing at Josiah and gesturing with his hand. “Look, I could wrap my hand around it and snap it like a twig
“Why are you even saying that?” Yosef chuckled, shaking his head. “You know full well that his heart’s set on someone else.” “Tsk. Josiah, who had been quiet, shot Yosef a glare, “Kid, dare you try talking nonsense again?”
I’ll zip it.” Yosef raised his hands in mock surrender while sharing a knowing look with Thomas–who in Jeiacrity doesn’t know about the time the two Flynn brothers fell for the same girl?
Over the years, Yvette had stayed with Howard while Josiah had been by her side. He even sent his wife abroad because of Yvette. If lovesickness were a contest, Josiah would definitely take the top prize.
On stage, the dance was hitting its climax. Sienna swayed her slender waist, her long legs moving with an irresistible charm. Yet, she kept a cool presence, her piercing gaze exuding a breathtaking charisma.
It felt wrong to disrespect her, but at the same time, people couldn’t help but be drawn to her. Such intense contrast in her demeanor created a captivating allure.
For a moment, the place buzzed with excitement, from those in the crowd to those in the upper booths–all eyes were glued
to Sienna.
Suddenly, Josiah froze. He sat up straight, his back as stiff as a board, and his eyes bore into the stage. Why does this girl seem so familiar?”
Thomas noticed and waved a hand in front of him. “Hey, is she that amazing? You’re staring”

“Really?” Yosef was skeptical and surprised. “No way. Besides that one, does anyone else catch Mr. Flynn’s attention?” Josiah let out an angry laugh, his eyes narrowing. “What are you talking about? She just looks familiar, like I’ve seen her around somewhere before.”
