Echoes of Unrequited Love (Xaviera and Hogan) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161 

A single sentence sparked a wave of confusion, and I couldn’t help but get curious 

too

Who could it be that’s got Timothy and Sean waiting on them

You’ll see in a bit,Sean explained to Timothy. This is a client of our gallery, you guys actually met them last time.” 

Met before

I frowned slightly, a bad feeling washing over me in an instant

Just then, a waiter suddenly came over with a message, Mr. Abbott. Mr. Zade has arrived at the entrance.” 

Mr. Zade

I nervously chewed on those words, my mind reeling

Looking up. I caught sight of Hogan and Cecilia walking in through the main 

entrance

Hogan was dressed in a dark suit with gold patterns, paired with a royal blue bow tie. looking understated yet lavish

Cecilia, standing by his side, wore a modernized version of a ruffled dress complemented by a fox fur shawl, looking graceful and charming

Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would’ve thought I was hallucinating

But wasn’t Hogan trying to mess up Shirley’s marriage alliance with Sean? Showing up like this was practically screaming I’ve got something up my sleeve

Could it be that he also got wind of the rumor that FreeMan might show up at tonight’s retro themed party

Thinking this, I clenched my palm, and just as my gaze landed on the man’s face, I caught those unfathomable eyes

After a brief twosecond eye contact, Hogan emotionlessly shifted his gaze away

But Sean was more proactive than I expected, introducing them with fanfare, This is Mr. Hogan Zade, the head honcho of Rainbow Capital, and with him is Ms. Irwin. They are honored guests I’ve invited, please give them a warm welcome.” 

It all felt like a dream

Chapter 161 

Like Hogan said, getting the intel he wanted was never a big deal

Just like how he could stand before us without a fuss, but for some reason, I felt

tad panicky

Hogan always walked the talk, and I had a hunch that tonight’s party would not go without a hitch

Some folks always end up in the seat of honor, no matter the scene. Sure enough, Hogan and Cecilia were seated at the prime spot by Sean

Timothy and I were seated on the other side of Sean

Compared to Sean’s enthusiasm, Timothy seemed nonchalant, lifting his glass in greeting, Mr. Zade, if I’d known the VIP guest were you, I would’ve made sure to spruce myself up.” 

He had a youthful look, with peachy eyes that were naturally inviting, never giving off a cold vibe even when he wasn’t smiling. But right then, I sensed a hint of provocation in Timothy’s words

I guessed he was sticking up for me

Hogan, unfazed, casually nodded with his glass, keeping it short and sweet, Mr. Temple, you are too kind.”
