Any issues with that? No problem.

Follow me.

Kevin said, guiding her towards the group of dancers.

Here she is, folks.

I need you to run through the routine twice for her.

After that, Ill see how she does.

Okay, Mr.

Sullivan.

The group was made up of temporary dancers.

Sienna joined them, and after just one practice, she was ready to go.

You danced really well.

Youre in.

Thank you, Mr.

Sullivan, Sienna smiled.

Kevin clapped his hands.

Get her dressed and made up.

1/3 Chapter 24 Sienna was somewhat taken aback.

The idea of being a dance stand in had never crossed her mind before .

She suppressed a groan and answered, Hello? Whats up? Ready to the courthouse? Is that all you ever think about? Josiahs sarcastic reply cwith a hint of annoyance.

Sienna understood but wasnt about to take the blame.

Is it really tomorrow? Alright, Ill be there early.

And dont accuseof being ungrateful you didnt tellMirandas surgery was tomorrow.

He missed that version of her.

Before he could criticize her further, Sienna said, Is there anything else? If not, Im hanging up.

Wait.

Josiah gritted his teeth and insisted.

No need .

I can manage on my own, Sienna said without hesitation She refused my help? Josiah was unhappy.

Im not debating this.

Oh right, we need to keep up appearances for Miranda .

Sienna rubbed her forehead and sighed, Fine, lets go together then.

Where do you live ? Josiah asked again .

Sienna thought for a moment she definitely couldnt let Josiah pick her up at her place.

It wasnt that she feared his teasing: she just didnt want him in her space.

Zaid chuckled awkwardly and got back into the car.

Josiah raised his eyes and fixed a serious gaze on Siennas profile .
