Chapter 706

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

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

‘Where’s Blair? 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. Theywere staring at a watch.

“So Gus isn’t gay…”

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

Great! When Emmett replaces 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 histwenties..

“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’s laugh was so magical that it Liftedhis 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 thedaughter 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 glance at Carlos, who was surrounded by a group of people, and then lookedat 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 animportant occasion. 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 glasses with him. No one knew whether he believed whatGregory said or not.

Despite his fiancee’s presence, he told Debbie softly, “I was going to ask you to the expo, butsomething happened… Please choose whatever you like. It’s on me.”

Hayden’s fiancee cast a burning glance at Debbie. Debbie cried inwardly, ‘What’s he trying to pull? Ishe trying to get her to hate me?’ When Debbie and the woman had last met at a party, she haddestroyed her evening dress with a glass of wine. So she didn’t need a reason to dislike Debbie. Andnow her date was trying to make nice with

Debbie. It would come as no surprise to Debbie if she woke up to replace this woman holding a knife to herthroat.

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