Chapter 388 - SHE DOESN\'T BELIEVE ME
Today had been a perfect day for Hailee. Reuniting with Zia to chat about a few things, although there were topics that made her a little uncomfortable, especially regarding the case of Leon running away, at least Hailee felt much better now.
Especially when Ramon said that he would come to pick up Hailee after he was done with his business to have more time with her.
It was just that all the fun ended when she saw the man who greeted her.
Theodore.
Her mood immediately became bad when she saw the man walking toward her.
Hailee really wished she hadn\'t heard the call, so she didn\'t have to turn around and face Theodore.
Meanwhile, Zia, who was standing beside her had put on a displeased expression upon seeing Theodore.
"What are you here for?" Zia asked Theodore as the man approached them.
However, Theodore ignored Zia\'s hostile attitude and walked straight toward Hailee. He greeted her very kindly, as if all the troubles in the past had never happened and he had forgotten everything.
Well, Theodore might have forgotten everything, but Hailee wouldn\'t have forgotten a single one of that man\'s actions that had hurt her.
"Hailee, how are you?" Theodore asked kindly. "I\'m sorry for the recent news that has hit you."
Zia rolled her eyes when she heard such cliché dialogues. Oh, please… even a blind person could tell with great accuracy that the words Theodore had just uttered were anything but sincere.
How could this man still think he could trick Hailee after everything that happened?
But, the most important question was; what was this man trying to do to Hailee with a scantily clad woman staring at his back so fiercely feeling forgotten?
"Thank you," Hailee said curtly. She then was about to walk past Theodore, but the man grabbed her arm instead.
"Wait a minute, I still want to talk to you," he said hastily when he saw Hailee ignoring him again.
However, it was a stupid move and the bodyguards around Hailee didn\'t like it at all.
They immediately took action by holding Theodore\'s hand, restraining him.
"Keep your hands to yourself," Pyro said very coldly. He put his arm around Theodore\'s shoulders and opened his jacket, showing a gun that was on his waist and made himself understand that he wouldn\'t hesitate to use force if Theodore still insisted on blocking Hailee.
Seeing that, Hailee just gave a small smile and released her hand from Theodore\'s grip with ease.
She didn\'t even ask the bodyguards to back down or rebuke Pyro for scaring Theodore. According to her, this was very pleasant to see.
"Then I\'ll go first," Hailee said in a light voice and took Zia\'s arm.
However, Hailee actually got a fierce glare from the woman who tagged along with Theodore and was forgotten by the man.
"Don\'t look at my cousin like that, you don\'t know who she is?" Zia asked the woman as they passed. "A man like that can\'t catch her attention at all."
And apparently, the woman did not recognize Hailee.
Most people would know that Hailee was Ramon Tordoff\'s wife, but they certainly would not be expecting to meet her in public like now.
Therefore, the woman did not even realize who she had been staring at so fiercely.
"What did you do to him!?" the woman cried angrily and pulled Theodore out of Pyro\'s arms. "Are you okay?" she asked anxiously. "Who is she?" she quipped finally.
"Friends," Theodore replied curtly, he then looked at Hailee\'s distant figure, surrounded by several bodyguards clad in normal attire.
"There\'s no need to be friends with her anymore, she\'s so rude, she\'s rich and pretty," the woman grumbled.
However, Theodore turned his head and looked at the woman beside him with a look of discontent in his eyes. "She is rich and beautiful."
================
Hailee was accompanying Zia to choose the bags, but she did not choose any for herself because she already had more than enough of the bags.
There were even some bags in the Tordoff residence that were left unopened.
Only, as Hailee was sitting leisurely in the waiting lounge, drinking her chocolate milkshake, she saw Theodore and the woman enter the same shop.
And in that instant Hailee knew that Theodore was actually looking for her.
It was very easy to tell, seeing how the man looked around him, as if he was looking for someone there.
And when Theodore\'s eyes caught Hailee\'s figure, he looked relieved, as if he had found what he was looking for.
Seriously… Hailee really didn\'t want to be in the same room with that disgusting man, nor breathe the same air.
Therefore, she told Pyro, who was standing not far from her, to look for Zia and buy a bag at another shop, while waiting for Ramon to come pick her up.
"Alright," Pyro said and walked away to find Hailee\'s cousin, leaving her along with ten other bodyguards who were ready to do the same as Pyro did earlier if Theodore dared to approach her again.
Only, this time, Theodore seemed to know enough to not approach Hailee again and tried to be a good lover by accompanying the woman in his arms shopping.
But, every now and then, Theodore would sneak glances at Hailee.
And at that moment, Hailee\'s phone rang before the screen showed the caller\'s identity. Immediately, a smile appeared on Hailee\'s lips.
"Where are you?" Ramon asked and from the background noises on the cellphone, Hailee could guess with certainty that Ramon had entered this mall.
"I was in a boutique with Zia," she replied, then mentioned the name of the shop. The two of them talked for a while while throwing teases at each other.
And when the call was disconnected, how surprised Hailee was when she saw the woman who had been beside Theodore, when he stood in her path earlier, with an unpredictable face.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Hailee asked lightly. She then took a sip of her almost finished milkshake. Meanwhile, the woman was standing a little further away from her so as not to make the bodyguards feel that her presence was threatening.
"What is your relationship with Theodore?" she asked in a cold voice.
Oh well… Hailee didn\'t even do anything, so how could she get someone to hate her like this?
"Why don\'t you just ask him?" Hailee asked. She then looked around in search of Zia, but that cousin of hers couldn\'t be seen anywhere.
"Why? Are you looking for my future husband?" she asked proudly.
"Huh?" Hailee\'s expression was very funny because she couldn\'t believe the question she just got. "Looking for your future husband?"
The woman didn\'t even introduce herself, so Hailee didn\'t know who she was, but that wasn\'t what mattered to her now.
"Didn\'t you see that my bodyguards were laughing as you said such absurd things?" Hailee spread her arms in a dramatic manner, as if to show that what the woman said was really very funny.
Immediately, the woman\'s face darkened slightly. She pressed her lips hard to contain her annoyance.
"If you know who my husband is, then I\'m sure you will not jump into such conclusions," Hailee said lightly, she even glanced at the woman.
However, the gesture made by Hailee was considered very offensive for the woman who had been burned by the jealous fire.
"Who is your husband?!" she asked defiantly. She puffed out her chest with great pride when she told her her name. "I am Maureen, Maureen Arimbi. Who are you?"
Hailee didn\'t think that she could find out the name of the woman in front of her in this way.
Of course Hailee knew the Arimbi family, but didn\'t really know their family members one by one, because they were a new family in L city.
Where, the Arimbi family just won a big project and raised their family name. It could be said, for socialites like the Tatum family, of course the Arimbi family was nothing.
Especially when you compared it to the Tordoffs.
But, of course Maureen didn\'t realize what she was dealing with or who she was dealing with right now when she was bragging about her family.
"Who are you?!" Maureen asked harshly. "You think that by bringing in so many bodyguards like this you are an important person?" Maureen snorted. "I could bring some of my bodyguards too if I wanted, but of course I wouldn\'t take them, it\'s too annoying to be surrounded by strangers."
"Or maybe because you\'re not an important person," Hailee said, she then covered her mouth as her eyes widened playfully. "Oops! Sorry for being too honest with you," she said in a mocking tone of voice.
"You!" Maureen exclaimed, but one of the bodyguards immediately positioned himself in front of Maureen and said very firmly.
"This is Hailee Tordoff, wife of Ramon Tordoff," the bodyguard revealed. "If you don\'t know the Tordoffs, then you should socialize better."
Immediately, Maureen\'s facial expression changed. She blinked her eyes for a moment, but the wrinkles on her forehead didn\'t go away.
"Impossible." That meant this girl was Theodore\'s ex-fiancé whom her mother had always been so proud of. This annoyed Maureen.
"Of course it\'s possible," Hailee said cheerfully, she then stood up from her seat and walked over. "If you don\'t believe me, just ask him directly."
Hailee didn\'t walk to approach Maureen, but to approach the man behind her. She spread her arms wide and hugged Ramon who had just arrived.
"Honey, tell her that I\'m your wife.. She doesn\'t believe me."
