Chapter 110-
âMs. Scott Sienna stood up in a hurry. âThatâs not what I meant âStop the whining.â Brenda raised her hand, cutting her off She added, âI understand what youâre trying to say. But if a dancer wants to prove herself, she has to do it on stage.
âIf you wait until youâve made friends with everyone and have earned your spot to perform, then whatâs the point of Mr. Flynn going through all this trouble to get you here?â
Brenda looked at Sienna with a sigh. âYouâre so obedient. When fold you to slim down, you did it right away.â
With just one look. Brenda could tell the weight and measurements of any dancer in the troupe.
âIf you put that same determination into your dancing, wouldnt be better? Tell me. Do you want to dance? Brenda asked.
How wonderful being trusted was. Sienna nodded firmly. âI do.â
âThen dance. Dance your way to fame,â said Brenda.
âYes. Ms. Scott.â Sienna was overwhelmed with emotion, nodding enthusiastically.
âYou...The mood softened slightly. Brenda pointed at her and sighed. âLife is all about networking. Do you really think you can make everyone like you? Itâs about dancing well. Thatâs the bottom line. Stop overthinking everythingâ
âI understand, Ms. Scott. Sienna nodded.
âGood.â Brenda smiled, her tone playful. âJust make sure you dance well. My Lightning Dance brand is wellâknown and hard to get into. If you canât make a name for yourself, thatâs one thing, but donât ruin my reputation.â
âMs. Scott. Sienna was serious, her tone steady. âDonât worry. Iâll practice hard That evening. Cedric came to pick her up. They had been seeing each other often these days.
There was no hidden reason. According to Cedric, their little play had to continue for now. No one knew if Josiah would suddenly decide to turn his attention back to her.
Cedric didnât pressure Sienna. He typically just dropped her off at 12th Avenue. Occasionally, theyâd grab a meal at a budget- friendly restaurant and split the bill Tonight, Cedric only drove her as far as the intersection at Lyceum Street.
âI have to go to the airport in a bit,â he said.
âIs it for work?â Sienna asked.
âYes.â Cedric nodded. âI need to go to Lockagie. Iâll probably be gone for about a week, Cedric said.
âOh.â Sienna quickly responded. âSafe travels, and make sure to adjust to the time change. Get some rest.â
She grabbed her bag and got out of the car. âIâll head out now. I wonât keep you.â
âSienna, Cedric called out to her, a look on his face that said he had something to say.
Sienna couldnât help but laugh. âWhatâs up? Just say it.â He had become a pretty important friend to her by now.
âWell, hereâs the thing Cedric scratched the back of his head, a bit shy. âWhen I get back, my birthday will be coming up. I Chapter 110 want to invite you to my birthday party His birthday party? Sienna immediately thought of the one Miranda had thrown for her at the Flynn familyâs place.
Could it be? Will his family be there too? That might not be appropriate for me to attend, she wondered.
âNo, no,â Cedric shook his head, laughing. âItâs not like that. Mrs. Flynn probably had some ulterior motive, which is why she threw such a big party and invited so many people.
âMy birthday party will just be a small gathering with a few close friendsâ
That sounded much better. Sienna let out a breath. She was, after all, one of his friends now.
âSienna? Will you come?â he asked.
âOf course.â Sienna smiled and nodded. âBut you should give me the exact time so I can make sure I donât have other plans.
âGreat!â Cedric grinned, his eyes practically sparkling.
He glanced at his watch. âIâm running out of time, I need to head to the airport. See you when I get âSee you,â she smiled.
back Sienna waved as Cedric drove off, then turned and walked down the apartment, muttering to herself. I should get a gift for his birthday... What should I give him?â
By the way, she was doing well for herself now. Gilbertâs efficiency was truly impressive, and she had already received the alimony from Josiah Well, it was quite a sum. But, no matter how much money she had, she couldnât afford to spend it recklessly.
For one thing, it was a habit she had developed over the years. For another, Joyce would need a lot of money in the future, and all of this had to be saved for her.
One couldnât bite the hand that fed them. Because of the alimony, her resentment toward Josiah had faded considerably.
Now, as for Cedricâs birthday gift, she wondered what she should get him. Given Cedricâs background, he surely had everything he needed.
For a gentleman like him, the choices for a birthday gift were either extravagant presents or something heartfelt. Extravagant gifts were beyond Siennaâs budget.
So, it would have to be something from the heart.
As Sienna walked, she had already decided on what to give him. Instead of heading straight back to her rented apartment, she veered off to the nearby night market.
The 12th Avenue night market was lively at night. In addition to food, you could find all sorts of daily necessities and small goods.
At this hour, the market hadnât officially opened yet, so there werenât many people. Sienna was lucky and quickly found what she was looking for, and she even picked up some ingredients while she was at it.
Back at the apartment, she put the ingredients away and steamed the corn. She had to watch her figure since she was about to perform on stage.
Next, she changed into her practice clothes and, without fail, began her daily routine of basic training. After a shower, she cooked, ate, and finished up the chores.
20:47 Mon, Jan 6 Chapter 110 was spotless.
Then, she opened a plastic bag. Inside was something she had ju bought at the night market, a piece of fabric. Pure white, Once all that was done. Sienna cleared off the only large table in the apartment, wiping it down until pure cotton.
This was the birthday gift she had prepared for Cedric. She planned to make him a shirt with her own hands.
Sienna had some skills when it came to sewing. Her grandmother Fiona, who had passed away, had been a seamstress. It was through her work that she had raised Sienna, supporting her dance studies.
Learning to dance was no small expense, and it showed that Fiona had truly adored her granddaughter.
Sienna had always been a dutiful child. In her spare time, she would help her grandmother with errands, and gradually, she learned a few things about sewing.
Though she couldnât compare to her grandmother, she could certainly make simple shirts or dresses, Now, as Sienna spread out the fabric, she recalled Cedricâs build. She had a rough idea of it and picked up a piece of chalk to sketch the outline onto the fabric.
Calculating the time, she realized she had just over a week, which was more than enough to make a shirt. She would take her time, being careful to make it just right.
After all, it was a birthday gift, and Cedric had done so much for her. She hadnât properly thanked him yet.
As she began cutting the fabric, certain memories flashed through her mind. She had once made a shirt for Josiah.
But when he received it, he hadnât seemed particularly happy. Later, that shirt had been shoved somewhere, perhaps buried in a drawer, or maybe it had already been thrown away.
