Chapter 136 +23 .
Disappointment was inevitable , and Cedric was prepared for that .
He raised his hand , giving a bag to Rosie .
Could you please give this to Sienna ? Oh , sure .
Rosie quickly took it and glanced at the bag it was desserts from Tasty Bites .
Thanks , Cedric said with a slight smile .
Ill head out now .
Alright , take care .
Hmm .
Watching Cedrics back as he left , Rosie sighed and turned back to the backstage area .
She placed the bag in front of Sienna and said , Here , this is from him .
Desserts from Tasty Bites , not cheap at all .
Sienna frowned , feeling a heaviness in her heart .
Rosie , curious , couldnt help but ask , Are you avoiding him on purpose ? He seems nice and polite .
Dont you like him ? Yeah , hes not bad , totally not .
Sienna didnt answer the last question and sighed helplessly , Its exactly because hes so good that I have to avoid him .
What ? Rosie was surprised .
Thinking about Cedric , she guessed , Is he some kind of rich kid ? Yeah , Sienna nodded .
Rosie suddenly understood , thinking for a moment before nodding , I get it .
I understand your choice .
Us regular folks should probably just stay in our lane .
Yeah , Sienna replied .
Somehow , she felt that Rosie seemed a little down and distracted .
But Rosie quickly recovered , her smile blossoming gently .
Ill go get you some clothes .
Sienna smiled , Thanks .

***** Josiah parked the car by the side entrance of the dance troupe .
After waiting for almost half an hour , he finally saw someone come out .
This was the staff exit , so everyone leaving was part of the dance troupe .
From a distance , Josiah saw Sienna walking over , linking arms with another girl , chatting and laughing .
He swung the car door open and got out , jogging a few steps until he stood right in front of her .
Sienna .
Sienna stopped short , looking at him in surprise .
Do you need something ? Is Miranda looking for me ? Why does it always have to be Miranda ? Cant I just want to see you ? Josiah frowned immediately , looking annoyed .
His mood changed as quickly as turning a page .
Sienna .
Rosie pointed to the side .
Ill wait for you over there , okay ? Alright .
Sienna was full of gratitude .
She really couldnt figure out what Josiah was thinking and was afraid of making him angry .
He had a really bad temper , and it was better to keep things simple .
So , did you want to talk about something ? Josiah reached into his pocket and pulled out the headband he had just repurchased at TeeMall .
He tossed it to Sienna and said , Heres your headband .
Sienna reflexively reached up and caught it , almost dropping it on the ground .
Even though the light was dim , she recognized it instantly .
This isnt my headband .
I couldnt find yours , Josiah said , as stubborn as ever .
I wanted to return it to you yesterday , but you wouldnt take it .
So , I … I just bought this for you .
Take it or leave it , he stammered a bit , unexpectedly nervous .
Before Sienna could reply , he looked at her eagerly.
Does it look good ? Do you like it ? Before Sienna could figure out what was happening , Josiah glared at her impatiently .
Im asking you , do you like it or not ? Whys he being so harsh all of a sudden ? With his attitude , how could I dare say no ? Sienna just nodded , Yeah , its nice .

As for the Tayitian pearls , she had no idea about them ; she just thought of them as a regular one dollar hairband .
She casually slipped the hairband onto her wrist , its color standing out against her tender skin .
Josiah noticed , and a faint smile appeared on his lips .
Im heading out , Sienna said , pointing at Rosie .
My friends waiting for me .
Josiah gave a slight nod .
Yeah , go ahead .
Mm hmm .
Without saying goodbye , Sienna turned and ran to Rosie .
Are you ready ? Rosie asked .
Sienna nodded , Yeah .
Lets go , Rosie smiled .
Then the two girls walked away arm in arm .
Josiah watched their figures fade into the distance for a moment , then snapped out of it , got into his car silently , and tailed them .
They boarded a bus and eventually entered an old residential area in the city .
Josiah parked his car at the entrance of the neighborhood and murmured to himself , City Pearl .
He kept it in mind , turned the steering wheel , and headed towards Mousea House .
The private room there was bustling with people today , with two tables set up for cards .
Yosef was at one of the tables , dominating the game .
Thomas had organized the game and quickly came over to greet Josiah .
Hey , youre here .
I thought you were going to skip out on us .
Josiah leaned back on the sofa , unfazed by being momentarily overlooked .
Wow , youre in a great mood .
Thomas nudged Josiah with his elbow and winked , his voice low .
Come on , is it because Sienna and Cedric broke up ? Josiah , who was drinking arted choking .
He gave Thomas a look and snapped , What nonsense are you talking about ? Still not admitting it , huh ? Its all over your face , Thomas said .
But he wasnt going to push it any further .
As friends , it was enough to just leave it at that .
Right now is a great chance .
If you really feel that way , go for it .
As your buddy , Im here for you .
After saying that , Thomas stood up and walked away .
Josiah sat alone , and his heart was beating faster .
A good chance ? Maybe , its not impossible to give it a try ? Early morning , Sienna was brushing her hair when Rosie walked by her .
Strangely , Rosie turned back and called softly , Sienna .
Hmm ? Sienna looked puzzled .
Whats up? Rosie bent down and picked up the pearl hairband beside her , a bit unsure .
Is this yours ? Yeah .
Sienna couldnt see what the problem was .
Rosie was just curious , and she quickly explained , Sienna , I dont mean anything by it .
Dont get me wrong .
I just think its not something youd buy .
Why ? Sienna still didnt understand .
Is there something wrong with it ? The hairband is nice .
I just noticed that youre usually pretty thrifty , Rosie said honestly she could tell that from Siennas eating and dressing habits , which was why she commented .
But now , she regretted it a little and added , But , its perfectly okay for a woman to sometimes splurge on something she likes to treat herself .
Its not that .
Sienna vaguely sensed the issue and held onto the hairband .
Do you mean its expensive ? Yeah , Rosie nodded .
Didnt you know ? How can it be ? Sienna carefully examined the headband .
Although it wasnt hers , it looked very similar , both with a few white beads inlaid .
Suddenly , she looked up .
The pearls are real ? 2/3 Extra Check in Vouchers Ad Free Reading Exclusive Profile Badge 6:55 PM C Chapter 136 Yeah , Rovic nodded fiercely .
Its genuine , no doubt about it .
Remember my job ? I wouldnt mistake it ? She was a fashion designer and immersed in the fashion world , so she could definitely tell the difference between fake and real pearls .
