Chapter 29 The sound of Jenna and Sylvia giggling behind her had Sienna hesitating outside of Kadens office door .
Jenna had already screamed at her once to hurry up and knock if she knew what was good for her , so she went ahead and raised her hand .
The hump in her throat made it hard for her to breathe , let alone swallow Who is it ? Kaden called .
He sounded annoyed like he was really busy , and the last thing on earth he wanted to do was be interrupted .
Sienna opened her mouth to reply , but no sound came out Do it you stupid bich Jenna shout whispered .
Sienna cleared her throat and tried again .
Its , uh .
Sienna , she said , her voice cracking on every word.
She heard him repeat her name , a question mark at the end .
Sienna There were some sounds that she thought might be papers shuffling before he said .
Yeah , come in She had hoped hed come out so that he could see the other two girls there and know that this was their idea , but then again , she wouldnt have any choice but to say exactly what Jenna had told her to say if it happened outside , right in front of her .
Sienna slowly opened the door and stepped inside , closing the door behind her .
He was sitting behind a desk piled with stacks of papers and folders .
He looked really busy , and she felt bad for interrupting him .
It was difficult to even get her feet to move over to the desk .
As she did so , he pushed back his rolling chair and looked up at her expectantly .
It seemed pretty clear that he was as surprised to see her there as she was to be standing in his office .
A glance at his desk also told her he had a map there , one with several Xs drawn on it .
She tried not to stare as it wasnt her business , and he was waiting for her to say something Sorry That was the first thing that came out of her mouth .
She glanced up and met his eyes for a second before dropping them back to the floor .
No , its fine .
Im just really busy , What do you need ? He didnt sound irritated , but he was in a hurry .
Luh needed to ask you something .
Or telling you something .
Or something The sound of laughter peeled through the air outside of the door , Whatever jenna and Sylvia were talking about , it mustve been really funny Is Jenna out there with Sylvia ? Kaden asked , glancing over her shoulder at the door for a moment before he looked back at her .
Not that she was looking at him , but she could feel the weight of his eyes on her .
Yes Sienna replied youre standing in here related to the fact that they are standing out there laughing ? And is the fact that y Sienna cleared her throat .
Maybe A crooked smile spread across his face as he shook his head slowly .
What is it that they are forcing you to say to me ? That I would like to dance with you at the ball , s she said quietly , glad to get it out there .
And would you actually like to dance with me at the ball Sienna shook her head .
It wasnt exactly true .
Maybe she would like to dance with him at the ball , but knowing that he didnt want to dance with her made it easier to tell him no .
Those visions of the two of them whirling around the dance floor stayed at bay .
She also knew for certain she would not be wearing a beautiful ball gown when she showed up at the dance .
Rather , shed be wearing some hideous hand me down , her makeup would be atrocious , and her hair would be in a ridiculous style tut made her look like shed allowed a group of children to help het She was expecting Kaden to say g good , that he didnt want to dance with her either .
So when he said something else , she looked up into his face .
Why not ? Why not ? she repeated , not looking down .
He still had a bit of that smirk on his face from a moment ago when hed figured out why she was in there .
Sienna cleared her throat again .
It was a stall tactic this time .
There was nothing lodged in her throat .
She shrugged .
I dont know .
Its not like you want to date with anc He folded his arms across that perfectly sculpted chest , the muscles in his biceps visible with the movement beneath the blue T shirt he was wearing .
1 never said I didnt want to dance with you , Sienna .
I said I didnt want to marry you .
Or anyone .
Well , if its all the same , I dont think it would be a good idea .
Besides , you know Im going to look like a hideous doll some kid drew on with markers and dressed up in scrap clothing .
He burst out laughing , which made her eyes w eyes wide .
Sienna stared at him as he attempted to get himself under contrul IA 10:03 АМ Chapter 29 Kaden ran a hand through his hair and put both palms on the desk .
Tm sorry .
Im so sorry .
I didnt mean to be rude .
Not at all .
Its just ..
the way that you said it , not what you said .
Anyway , Im sure that my grandmother already has a plan in place for that so that you wont have to go to the hall looking like , what you just said .
The sound of his laughter had almost made her lose her stoic expression , but shed fought the urge to let her face crack .
I dont know if even your sweet grandmother can call them off this time .
Even if I do look like a normal person at the ball , theyll find a way to embarrass me He wasnt laughing now .
His expression shifted .
Youre probably right .
Din sorry Til see what can do No , Alpha Kaden , its okay , she said .
You dont have to do anything I dont want you to .
It would probably actually be better for me if you just yelled at me and ordered me out of your office .
She looked at the door .

They were strangely quiet out there , but she knew they hadnt left .
They were probably wondering why Kaden wasnt yelling yet and she wasnt crying Tim not going to yell at you you , Sienna .
But I am going to ask you to duce Her eyes widened at him , and he shrugged like it was no big deal .
You can turn me down if you want to , but even if you are dressed the way you described , youll still be the prettiest girl there .
The color rose sa rapidly into her face , she thought she might pass out .
Shed been near fainting more than once in her life , usually from being smacked around , but this was different .
This was a compliment .
From a guy .
From a hot guy .
And then she remembered that he was her rejected mate .
She wished her stupid face hadnt given her away .
Thanks , she muttered like guys told her she was pretty all the time .
Tim just gonna go now .
Alright .
Alright .
Thats probably for the best .
Ive got a lot of work to do .
She nodded and turned to walk away , but he stopped her when he called her name .
Sienna slowly turned to look at him again .
What are you going to tell them I said ? Kaden asked Sienna shrugged .
To get out of your office ? But thats not what I said , he reminded her .
She turned back to face him .
What do you think I should tell them ? He thought about it for a second before he said , Tell them I said Im looking forward to it Siennas eyes widened again .
I cant tell them you said that ! Theyll kill me ! No , they wont Tell them .
Have some fun .
You make it sound so easy time they recover , youll be gone .
I know theyll be shocked .
By w the the And theyll come in here to tell you what I said , and then youll be interrupted again , she reminded him .
Thats a good point Sienna nodded , glad to have cleared that up for him .
Make sure you lock the door on your on your way out .
A smile crept into place as she turned back around and headed for the door again , taking the time to lock it before she stepped through and closed it behind her .
She barely looked at either of the blondes who were standing there , waiting for her , as she headed down the stairs , on her way back to Kadens house .
After all , Jenna had said she could go as soon as she asked him Well ! What did he say ? Jenna demanded Sienna stopped and glanced in her direction .
He said he was looking forward to it , she said over her shoulder .
She kept walking as both of the girls What ? Jenna demanded , but Kaden was right , she was talking to Sylvia not her .
No way ! That lying linde b * tch ! Sylvia Lidl .
Sienna picked up the pace , but she heard the sound of them clambering up the steps to his office behind her and Kaden telling them he was busy to go away .
A unile spread across her face as she sucked into the woods , ready to go for that run shed put off earlier that morning .
