“Some friend you are! I’ll find Emmett a new girlfriend.” After saying that, she Looked around to look for


    Emmett.


    But to her surprise, she saw Wesley. She also noted that he was not with ir, but Megan! Why was


    Megan everywhere?


    ‘Where’s ir? Why isn’t she here with Wesley?’ Debbie wondered.


    She also saw Olga, smiling from ear to ear. Then she spotted Gus with a petite girl with short hair. They


    were staring at a watch.


    “So Gus isn’t gay…”


    Meanwhile, Kasie held Debbie’s arm and said in a whisper, “Really?


    Great! When Emmett finds someone new, I can start dating younger guys.


    Debbie rolled her eyes and snapped, “Hot for younger guys, huh? How about Jared? He’s in his


    twenties..


    “No! Stop! I’d rather be with Emmett.”


    “Hah!” Debbie Laughed at Kasie’s reaction.


    Gregory stood there, listening to the girls banter. To him, Debbie’sugh was so magical that it Lifted


    his mood and warmed his heart.


    “Deb!” a familiar voice said, interrupting Kasie and Debbie.


    Debbie turned her head to see Hayden, a woman in a gorgeous yellow gown at his side. She was the


    daughter of the Hue family, and Hayden’s fiancee.


    Debbie greeted him in a polite yet distant manner, “Hi, Mr. Hayden,


    Miss Hue.”


    Hayden cast a sidelong nce at Carlos, who was surrounded by a group of people, and then looked


    at Gregory.

    “You’re here with Mr. Smith?” he asked Debbie.


    Debbie wanted to nod, but Gregory opened his mouth before she could reply.


    “You’ve got to be kidding, Hayden. I could never have the honor to be Debbie’s date on such an


    important asion. We’re old friends from school.”


    ‘Why is he lying?‘ Debbie was confused. ‘Why not just tell Hayden the truth?’


    Hayden gave him a smile and clinked sses with him. No one knew whether he believed what


    Gregory said or not.


    Despite his fiancee’s presence, he told Debbie softly, “I was going to ask you to the expo, but


    something happened… Please choose whatever you like. It’s on me.”


    Hayden’s fiancee cast a burning nce at Debbie. Debbie cried inwardly, ‘What’s he trying to pull? Is


    he trying to get her to hate me?’ When Debbie and the woman hadst met at a party, she had


    destroyed her evening dress with a ss of wine. So she didn’t need a reason to dislike Debbie. And


    now her date was trying to make nice with


    Debbie. It woulde as no surprise to Debbie if she woke up to find this woman holding a knife to her


    throat.


    Debbie took a deep breath and tried to ease the tension.
