Chapter 116 Brendaâs smile vanished instantly, replaced by a look of pure fur âSince you started managing this dance studio, youâre the first one to ignore the rules of the group and take outside gigs without permission,â she said.
Ms. Scott... Siennaâs face had already turned pale, but there we some things she needed to explain.
âI did take an outside job, but that was before I joined the group already had a contract with the production team,â she explained.
âSo what?â Brenda roared her eyes.
But such an explanation was useless. Brenda was known for her strictness, and once a rule was broken, there was no for leniency.
âYou were still taking side jobs even while you were in the group, werenât you?â Brenda asked Sienna opened her mouth, but no words came out. It was the truth, and she couldnât argue against it.
o room âSuch a fool.â Brenda closed her eyes for a moment, her expression a mix of disappointment and regret as if she wished things could have gone differently.
But the rules were clear. No matter how regretful Brenda felt, today, she could not allow Sienna to stay.
Brenda raised her hand. âCo change out of your practice clothes. You need to leave the dance studio, now.â
Sienna jerked her head up, her eyes shattering, immediately filled with tears. âMs. Scott, I...
âNothing more to say.â Brenda raised her hand again, stopping her from speaking further.
âI could make an exception for you, but the rules are the rules. You broke them today, and I canât protect you. How could I manage this dance studio if I let this slide? she said.
Brenda looked at Sienna, sighing, âWhat a shame. Youâre ruining your future.â
Brenda paused, then added, âThen again, maybe youâll do better in the entertainment industry. With your skills, Iâm sure youâll succeed.
âNo, Ms. Scott...â Sienna shook her head, âI never thought about that.â
âWell, go,â Brenda said, with no room for discussion.
She added, âWith Mr. Flynn on your side, Iâm sure youâll do well in the industry. It wonât be such a big loss to leave here? Brenda waved her hand. âCo on now.â
The situation was beyond repair. Sienna had nothing left to say, he was filled withfegret, angry at herself for not handling things better But even if there were a way to undo it all, she knew she wouldnât have been able to fix it back then either.
âMs. Scott...â Sienna bowed her head in defeat, unable to beg for another chance. âI Iâm leaving.â
âGo, Brenda said, her gaze already turned elsewhere, dismissing her.
Once outside the break room, Sienna stood at the door, feeling the darkness around her. What should I do now?â she Chapter 116 wondered.
The excitement of joining the dance studio hadnât even faded, and in just a couple of days, she would have become the lead dancer and performed on stage, And now everything was gone.
When she returned to the dressing room, her colleaguesâeyes had changed. One by one, they whispered among themselves. glancing at her from time to time.
Her phone buzzed in her pocket, and as Sienna looked at the screen, she finally understood why they were looking at her that way.
In their WhatsApp group, there was an announcement from Brenda: [Our designated lead dancer, Sienna Shaw, took an outside job with a production team without approval. After verification, this has been confirmed. Effective immediately, her position is terminated.]
Tears welled up in Siennaâs eyes. She gripped her phone tightly, her teeth clenched.
âWow,â Nina said, walking over and folding her arms. âWhat happened? Our rising star got fired? Thatâs a shocker.â
âShut up, someone muttered.
âWhy?â Nina was in a good mood. âTaking side gigs? Thatâs impressive. Oh, by the way, Sienna, youâre so talented, right? I heard someone pulled strings to get you in here. Youâve got the connections. Why not get him to keep you around?â
Connections? Josiah?â she wondered. Sienna didnât want to admit it, but even if she had thought about it, she knew by now that she was of no use to Josiah anymore. There was no way he would help her again.
Nina laughed loudly, tossing her hair.
âYouâre wasting your time. Donât even bother. Ms. Scott is all about the rules. She made an exception for you once, but do you really think sheâll keep doing that for you? Get real. Youâre not as important as you think,â Nina mocked.
She gave a little twist of her body and walked off with a little sway: âIâm going. Gotta go practice, guys.â
Watching Ninaâs retreating figure, Sienna felt like something was off. âHow did Ms. Scott find out about the job I took with the production team? Who told her?â she wondered.
Her headache worsened. Even if she knew who informed Brends, there was no difference. The fact was that it was her mistake.
Feeling down, Sienna spent the entire day lying in bed at her apartment. In the evening, she got a call from Cedric âSienna, Iâm at the dance studio. When are you coming out?â he asked.
Sienna turned over, her voice weak. âIâm not at the dance studio, âAh?â Cedric was confused. âDid you already go home? Did practice finish early today?â
He remembered that Sienna was supposed to be performing in just a couple of days. This was her first time on stage, and sheâd been practicing hard for it.
âYeah, Sienna justâwanted to be alone. âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up now.â
They barely spoke before she ended the call. Cedric stared at his phone, bewildered.
Something was off. Siennaâs voice sounded strange, almost like she wasnât in the mood like something was bothering her. He couldnât shake the feeling, so he decided to drive over to 12th Avenue.

Sienna lay in her apartment her thoughts getting darker. When the doorbell rang, she had no idea who it could be.
âWho is it?â she asked, feeling down as she went to answer the door. When she saw Cedric standing there, her surprise was clear, âCedric?â
âSienna.â Cedric had never been to her apartment before. Heâd actually gone to the wrong building at first, and after running around in the heat, sweat beaded on his forehead and temples.
Once he saw her, his concern only deepened, âSienna, 1 heard your voice on the phone, and it didnât sound right. Are you okay? Did something happen?â
Sienna hadnât expected him to come all the way over just because of a phone call.
âCedric... Her heart softened. She opened up to him, telling hit the truth. âI messed up. Ms. Scott... she kicked me out of the dance studio.â
âWhat?â Cedric was stunned. That was terrible news. Lightning Dance was one of the top platforms for modern dancers Sienna had been so close to making it big, and now this had happened?
Tm sorry, Cedric Sienna only told him about it. She wasnât expecting comfort.
âBecause right now, no words could make her feel better.
âI just couldnât bring myself to go today. I wanted to be alone for bit. Thanks for coming to check on me. Iâm sorry,â she said.
Itâs okay. Cedric shook his head quickly. âI understand. I totally get it.â
âWell...â Sienna didnât invite him inside. âIâll go back in.â
âAlright, Cedric stood there at the door, watching as she closed it behind her.
He couldnât help but rub his forehead. It wasnât that he minded making the trip for nothing. He was more concerned about how he could help Sienna.
Wait... Thomas, he wondered.
Cedric turned and headed downstairs, pulling out his phone to call Yosef. âYosef, itâs me. Are you with Thomas?â
