Chapter 120
Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance
Chapter 120 Under the dim lighting. Siennaâs face turned pale. She instinctively glanced at Derek, then at Charles, Neither of them said a word. Instead, they exchanged a look, silently urging her to endure it.
Remembering Derekâs earlier reminder, Sienna took a deep breath. She lifted her hand and placed it in Enioâs palm.
Enio beamed with satisfaction. Laughing heartily, he grabbed her hand and gave a sharp tug, pulling her to his side.
His arm, which had initially held her lightly, slid around her was. Sierma tensed up instantly, Her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, âHow old are you? Whatâs your major?â he asked.
âTwentyâfour. I majored in modem dance,â Sienna answered mechanically, her voice sounding distant to her own ears.
âA dancer, huh? No wonder youâve got such a great figureâ Enio picked up his wine glass and held it out to her. âFirst time meeting letâs have a drinkâ
âOkay...â Sienna accepted the glass, her heart pounding furiously. âEnio, arenât you going to drink as well âYou first.â Enio waved her off with a sly grin. âYou drink first, then Iâll drink whateverâs left. Makes it feel more intimate, doesnât it?â
His comment earned a round of laughter from the men around them.
Holding the glass, Sienna trembled faintly.
âDrink up.â Enio urged, his voice carrying a mix of impatience and amusement. âRelax. Iâm known for being gentle with women, you know?â
Even as he spoke, his hand roamed over Siennaâs waist. Gripping the wine glass tightly, she prayed that finishing the drink would make him let her go But just as she raised the glass to her lips, she froze. Enioâs hand had slid down to her thigh.
At that moment, something inside Sienna snapped. She had been struggling to endure, but this was too much.
No woman would tolerate such treatment, sick or healthy.
Before anyone could react, Sienna raised the wine glass in her hand and, without hesitation, splashed its contents directly into Enioâs face.
Damn it! Enio cursed loudly, standing abruptly as the cold liquid ran down his face.
Fury replaced the shock in his eyes as he reached out toward her âYou bitch...
Crash! The sharp sound of glass shattering cut through the room. Sienna had smashed the wine glass in her hand, leaving only the jagged stem.
Shards of glass scattered across the floor as she held onto the broken stem, her eyes red with fury. âStay back,â she warned, her voice trembling.
âSienna!â Derek rushed forward, alarmed, trying to stop her.
âDonât come near me. None of you!â she roared.
20:50 Mon, Jan 6 Chapter 120 At that moment, Sienta was like a cornered animal. She clutched the broken glass, pointing it at anyone who dared approach hier.
Enio, meanwhile, erupted into deranged laughter, âWhat a show Iâve never seen anything like this. Iâd love to see what youâre planning to do to me tonight!â
âDonât... stay back. Siennaâs voice broke as her bloodied fingers ripped the broken glass tightly, the jagged edges cutting into her flesh. Blood dripped down her hand, pooling on the floor.
âWhat if I donât!â Enio took two large strides forward and grabbed her wrist. âWell? What are you going to do now, little girlâ
Siennaâs eyes glazed over, and her body swayed as if she were about to pass out.
âWell, isnât this interesting.â someone smiled. The unexpected voice, laced with amusement, echoed through the tense room.
Everyone froze, turning their heads toward the source of the sound. Near the back of the room, in a row of sofas against the wall, a tall figure slowly rose to his feet. âMr. Flynn?â
The atmosphere shifted instantly. Even Enioâs expression morphed into a grin as he hastily greeted him. âMr. Flynn, I hope we didnât disturb you.â
Tonightâs event was a planning session for a new film. The production was funded by East Entertainment, a subsidiary of Flynn Group. It wasnât surprising that Josiah would make an apparance.
After all, his presence alone spoke volumes. The details were, of course, left to the producer.
Josiah found a corner seat, planning to stay just long enough to make an appearance before leaving. But in that short span of time, he stumbled upon an unexpected scene.
His long legs carried him forward, his expression unreadable as his sharp gaze remained locked on Sienna. He didnât spare even a passing glance at Enio.
âWhat should I even say to her? Just a few days apart, and sheâs already gotten herself into this mess, he wondered.
Sienna stared blankly as Josiah approached, her mind a complete blur. She felt like she knew him, yet at the same time, he seemed like a stranger.
Her breathing came in short, uneven gasps.
âAh.â Josiah let out a theatrical sigh and rubbed his temple. âFeeling a little dizzy. Guess Iâd better head out.â
âOf course!â Enio immediately perked up. âMr. Flynn, take care. Shall I escort you out?â
âNo need.â Josiah waved him off casually, then gestured toward Sienna. âSheâll do it.â
The room fell into instant silence as realization dawned on everyone. They wondered if Josiah had his eye on her. If that was the case, there was nothing to say.
Enio didnât hesitate for a second, pointing at Sienna. âDidnât you hear Mr. Flynn? Go on, and get over here!
Even Charles, who had always been protective of her, stayed silent. After what Sienna hadâstirred up tonight, offending Josiah on top of everything else would spell the end of her career, not just in the entertainment industry but even in Jeiacrityâs social circles.
âWhat are you waiting for?â Josiah gave Sienna an impatient glance before reaching out to clasp her wrist, the one still dripping with blood.
âLetâs go.â Without waiting for her response, he dragged her out of the private room.
Behind them, Derek was sweating bullets. âMr. Carter, do you think Sienna will be okay?â
ZU Chapter 120 Charles frowned, shaking his head. âHard to say. But at least Mr. Flynn Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance ï¤Chapter 119 âAt least heâs better than Enio, right? Derek thought bitterly, guilt gnawing at him. He had brought Sienna into this world, and now he could only hope nothing worse would happen to her Josiah didnât let go of her hand until they reached the lobby, Sienna hadnât struggled during the walk. Little by little, her emotions seemed to settle, her earlier panic fading into silence.
âYou...â Josiah suddenly spun around, pointing at her with frustration.
âYou got yourself expelled from a perfectly decent dance studio, and now youâve ended up here? Do you even know what kind of place the entertainment industry is? How could you just waltz in like itâs nothing?â he asked.
He was furious, no, beyond furious. If he hadnât happened to be there tonight, things wouldnât have ended so cleanly. Enio had counless ways to get what he wanted, and none of them boded well for Sienna.
Sienna kept her head down, remaining silent. She was grateful for his intervention, but there was nothing to explain. What he had seen was all there was.
Josiah was about to scold her further when his eyes fell on her loodied hand. His chest tightened. âWhy why canât you just make things easier for me?â
He stepped closer, his tone softening slightly as he reached out to check her wound. Is it bad? Let me see....
But Sienna instinctively pulled her hand away, refusing to let him touch it.
Josiah froze, his expression darkening instantly. âWonât let me look? Do you think I want to deal with this? Fine. I wonât He turned to leave, his irritation radiating off him.
But after taking just a couple of steps, he stopped, sighed heavily, and came back. His tone, though gruff, carried a hint of concern. âSorry, I shouldnât have been so harsh.â
She had been through enough tonight. Anyone could see she was terrified. Pointing at her hand, his voice softened further almost coaxing. âYou need to see a doctor for that, okay?â
