Chapter 9

As for Michelle Robinson, she held his arm even tighter, as if to demonstrate her authority. She smiled at Hayden and said, “Look at you, Hayden.

Why didn’t you inform me and Kingsley when you came back?”

“I don’t think that’s necessary.”

“I heard that you have lost contact with the Downey family when you decided to move abroad.” Michelle seemed to show her care towards Hayden, but there were tricks in her words. “Why don’t you return to the Downey Group to have a look at them?” Having seemed to notice Hayden’s troubled look, Kingsley spoke blandly, “Let’s go, Michelle.”

“Why so rush? I’ve not seen Hayden for a long time and I want to have a chat with her!” As she said, she dragged Hayden towards the lift without giving her a chance to reject. Hayden’s lips went a little dry and she lowered her eyes. When the door of the lift opened, Michelle dragged her into the lift. Hayden looked down and moved slightly to the side when she saw some guests entering too.

A guest who passed by her had accidentally touched the tip of her nose with his blazer. The chill she felt made her shuddered and she felt a sense of familiarity not knowing why. She then looked up wanting to have a peek, but Michelle had blocked in front of her and her high heel shoes entered her line of sight. “Hayden, would you be able to come then?”

“Pardon?” Hayden did not know what she just said and asked, retrieving her gaze at the same time too.

“The engagement banquet of me and Kingsley.” Michelle raised her hand and there was a shiny diamond ring on her ring finger. Her eyes were filled with complacence and the corner of her red lips curved. “It would be at the eighteenth of next month, I hope you can come.” That familiar yet expensive ring was so dazzling that it made Hayden’s eyes sore. She remembered when she went to the jewellery shop with Kingsley back then, they had pointed on that specific ring, saying that they must use that when they got married in the future. Yet it turned out that that ring was worn by Michelle now.

“I have job to do, so I might not have the time.” She turned her head to the side to avoid herself feeling more uncomfortable. “Oh come on, Hayden!”

Michelle held her hand affectionately and smiled. “I’ve always looked forward to you becoming my bridesmaid one day in the future since long time ago.” Hayden secretly sneered. So that meant she had always wanted to steal her boyfriend long time ago? Seeing her did not say a word, Michelle’s eyes flickered and she smiled. “I know you’re scared that you don’t have a male partner to bring to the banquet. Don’t worry, I know a lot of friends, and I can introduce one to you.”

“I have a boyfriend; it’s just that it’s inconvenient for me to go.” Hayden pushed her hands away without a change in expression and continued, “Plus, I’m afraid that he won’t let me go to the engagement banquet of my ex-boyfriend and my best friend too.”

The expression on Kingsley’s face changed. Michelle’s face also froze yet she once again seized her hand enthusiastically. “Hayden, why don’t you make a call to your boyfriend and ask him over? I really have to thank him for taking such good care of you.”

During the stalemate, Hayden suddenly tripped over something. With a loss in balance, she fell straight forward. Without intending to hold her back, Michelle secretly moved to the side. Hayden bumped into a hard chest and her forehead hurt. She then heard a sneer from the top, which was inexplicably familiar.
