Sienna was stunned into silence , Josiah turned to her abruptly , “ What are you standing there for ? Pay for the rice ! ”

“ Huh ? Oh , okay ! ” Sienna fumbled for her phone .

“ Scan the code – Il transfer the money to you .

“ Sure ,” the shop owner stammered .

Josiah stood to the side , his icy stare fixed on the man , who seemed unable to take his eyes off Sienna .

Is she seriously oblivious to this ? he thought .

his irritation simmering .

“ Hurry up ! ” he snapped .

Why does paying take so long ?

Sienna finally smiled at the man .

“ Done .

Thanks so much for your help ”

The shop owner glanced nervously at Josiah and hesitated “ Sienna , ul ... who is he ? ”

“ Still here ? ” Josiah’s voice was cold and sharp , like a blade slicing through the air .

The man Binched , quickly retreating .

“ Alright , Sicana , Ti , uh .

Hl be going now .”

“ Take care , ” Sienna said awkwardly , waving him off .

Josiah turned to her , his expression annoyed .

“ What are you looking at ? That guy ? What’s so great about him ?“ “

And that lolipop in her mouth – Jasish had been glaring at it for a while now .

It irritated him to no end When Sienna turned her back to him , Josiah suddenly reached out , snatched the lollipop from her mouth , and tossed it into the filthy gutter by the roadside .

Sienna gasped in horror .

“ What are you doing ? ”

Josiah looked at her , unbothered .

“ What are you yelling about ? ” He had been itching to get rid of that il thing for a while .

It felt good to finally toss it He squinted at Sienna , “ Cheap candy with a cheap taste .

Don’t eat it again .

”

Sienna was dumbfounded .

“ Did I ask him to eat it ? What does it matter to er to him whether it’s cheap or not ?

Seeing her puffed – ap , indignant face , Josiah felt even more annoyed .

“ Who was I threw away the lollipop he gave you ? ”

s that guy ? What’s your relationship with him ? Are you mad because “ What relationship ? Sienna looked completely confused .

“ He’s just the owner of the rice shop .

I bought rice from him , and he gave me a lollipop out of kindness .

And you threw it away – should I be happy about that ? ”

“ That’s all ! ” Josiah squinted , pressing her for more .

“What else would it be ? Sienna was exasperated , not understanding his questions .

Josiah suddenly smirked , realving the situation .

That guy must have a one – sided crush on her “ Come on , Josiah said , bending down to pick up the boxes .

“ Hurry up and help me carry these Sienna blinked in surprise but followed behind him .

“ I didn’t even ask for his help in the first place .

Why is he acting like this ? ”

Josiah carried two boxes with ease .

“ Put the rice bag on top .

You can carry the fruit baskets .”

After barking the orders , he paused , realizing his tone might have been too harsh .

He softened slightly .

“ Can you manage ? ”

“ Yeah , I can , Sienna said , nodding as she followed his instructions .

But she glanced at him worriedly .

“ Isn’t that too heavy for you ? ” She couldn’t recall ever seeing Josiah do physical work before .

“ Heavy ” Josiah sneered dismissively .

“ This Not even close .

Now move faster ! ”

Then don’t carry it Sienna thought .

“ No one asked you to .

Why are you the one getting Sienna picked up the fruit basket and followed Josish closely .

She couldn’t deny it he was impressively strong .

Carrying something so heavy , he had gone from the alley entrance to the fifth floor in one go .

Hurry up ! Open the door ! ” Josiah snapped impatiently , “ Oh , okay ” Sienna quickly stepped forward , fumbling with the key to unlock the door .

As soon as it opened , Josiah strode inside , placing the items on the floor .

He stood there , catching his breath clearly tired .

Sienna felt a pang of embarrassment seeing his sweaty face and hesitated before asking .

“ Do you need a towel ? Or maybe a drink of water ? ”

“ Bring it .” Josiah replied , clearly satisfied with her suggestion .

“ What ? ” she asked , confused .

“ A towell ” he shot her a sharp look , “ What else? Or do you expect me to air – dry ! ”

“ Oh ! I’ll get it ! ” Sienna hurried into the bathroom , returning with a clean towel .

She handed it to him , smiling nervously .

“ Here you go – it’s freshly washed and dried , perfectly clean ”

Josiah frowned , glaring at her .

Sienna blinked , baffled .

What did I do to upset him this time ? she wondered .

Josiah clicked his tongue in irritation .

“ You expect me to wipe myself ? ”

want me to do ! Sear it ower my He raised his dusty hands and said , “ Look at these ! They’re covered in dirt from moving stut .

What do you wa face ? ”

Sienna hesitated .

Then should I wipe it for your As soon as the words left her mouth , she regretted it .

Josiah despised her , after all .

“Or maybe ..

”

“ Hurry up ! ” Josiah cut her off , shooting her an exasperated glance , “ Go on , wipe it already ! What kind of dump doesn’t even have an elevator ? ”

Seeing her hesitate , he added , “ Why are you standing there like a statue ? Get to it “ Oh , okay ” Sienna nodded absentmindedly and moved closer to him , raising the towel .

The height difference between them was significant , Without heels , she was over a head shorter than him .

After all , Josiah’s six – foot – three frame was hard to miss Noticing her struggle to reach , Josiah bent down slightly , clearing his throat .

“ Can you manage ? ”

Sienna nodded and gently dabbed the sweat off his forebead The towel carried a faint , fresh fragrance , the same scent radiating from her .

Josiah found himself momentarily distracted .

Being this close , he could see her delicate features .

Her skin was flawless , pure , and soft – it seemed a gentle press might draw water .

His Adam’s apple bobbed involuntarily .

Why does my throat suddenly feel itchy he wondered .

Sienna , however , didn’t notice .

She kept her eyes down , entirely focused on wiping his sweat .

She was quiet and obedient , a side of her Josiah had never seen before .

In his memory , she was nothing like this .

She was loud , confrontational , and relentless in her questions .

She always asked .

“ Josiah , did you meet Keyla today !

“ Josiah , what time are you coming home !

Josiah , who was that girl you were – talking to Tell me now !

“ Josiah , you’re not allowed to look at or smile at other girls , got it ”

If she had always been this gentle and well – behaved , Josiah thought , would things between us have turned out differently ?

He felt a strange emptiness , as if something was missing .

Do you want some water ? ” Sienna asked , oblivious to his mood .

She folded the towel and turned to pour him a drink .

“ I only have water here .

”

“ Mm , okay , ” Josiah replied , his gaze lingering on her back .

“ Can I use your bathroom ? “

“ It’s to your left ,” she answered When Josiah returned from the bathroom , he had taken off his coat , casually tossing it onto the sofa .

Sienna , noticing the lack of glasses on her table , looked apologetic .

“ Sorry , I don’t have an extra cup , ” she said .

“ Should I go downstairs and buy you a bottle of water ? ”

“ No cup ? ” Josiah raised an eyebrow , pointing to a lemon – yellow mug on the table .

“ What about that ? ”

“ That’s Sienna hesitated .

Before she could finish , Josiah had already picked up the mug .

Tilting his head back , he drank from it .

Sienna’s “s protest came too late .

She froze , her mouth hanging open , before sighing inwardly .

Forget it .

He’s already used it .

A thought struck him , and he asked , “ Was that your cup !
