Sienna understood .

Okay , replied Derek .

As Sienna walked out of the small conference room , she didnt notice Maggie coming out from around the corner behind her .

Maggie stared at Siennas retreating figure complicatedly .

Isnt that great … She started grumbling inwardly .

Compared to me , Sienna is nothing but a newcomer who had just acted in one drama .

How could she be the lead actress ! I have been in East Entertainment for two years and am still a supporting actress .

Im sure it must be because she has Josiah backing her .

But I was the one Josiah originally wanted to promote .

When he pushed open the door , it was quiet in the room , he saw that she was asleep on the couch .

Josiali paused for a moment , thinking , Doesnt she have a date today ? Oh, right ! Cedrics family went abroad to attend a relatives wedding .

He knew because Cedric was Yosefs cousin and was also invited .

Josiah looked down at Sienna and mused , How could she fall asleep in this position ! I guess all that dancing since she was a child made her body flexible .

Normally , people wont be able to fall asleep in this position He walked over slowly , treading lightly so as not to make any noise .

When Josiah reached Sienna , he gently picked her up and laid her down in a way she could sleep more comfortably .

Then , he picked up the blanket from the opposite couch , spread it out , and covered her with it Although the inpatient building had a fresh air system and a constant temperature for 24 hours a day , it was still easy to catch a coll after waking up if she didnt cover herself with something while sleeping .

Sienna didnt wake up even after this series of action .

Josiah simply squatted in front of the couch , stared at her unblinkingly , and thought , She is sleeping soundly , probably because of how well joyer is doing .
