Echoes of Unrequited Love (Xaviera and Hogan) novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59 

The spot was at Bluebell Bistro & Bar

As soon as I walked in. Darren was there to greet me in a flash, his eyes full of astonishment

Is it not appropriate?” 

Darren’s voice was deep, No, it’s just stunning.” 

Wallis once complimented me as a cool beauty

But that’s just scratching the surface

No wonder Professor Yearwood has been so distracted, turns out he had a date with a beauty.” 

A couple of rich kids came over to say hi

Darren brushed them off with a few words and led me towards the elevator. At the same time, from the opposite direction, Hogan came over, escorting Cecilia

We bumped into each other at the elevator

Cecilia was wearing a delightful pink lacetrimmed dress, all dolled up like a sweet beauty

Professor Yearwood, Xaviera, what a coincidence,she initiated the conversation with us

Darren glanced at Hogan and amiably said, Bringing Ms. Irwin to your dad’s birthday party?” 

Hogan threw back a question instead of answering, The Yearwood family has a gathering tonight?” 

Yes, my cousin’s baby’s hundredday celebration.” 

Hogan nodded slightly, without further ado

Both parties were on the third floor, one to the east and one to the west. After stepping out of the elevator, we went our separate ways

The Ferber family’s relatives were more humble and polite than I expected, sticking to brief greetings and conversations that didn’t overstay their welcome

Except for Darren’s cousin, Zoey Yearwood

Ms. March, you have a distinguished air, surely your parents have taken great care of you.” 

He was beating around the bush, trying to dig into my family background

I wasn’t surprised, and took the chance to excuse myself to the restroom

How should I put it, after tagging along with Wallis to find investors for so long, I’d realized that to mix with the high society, education and ability were just trivial door openers, background was what truly matters

Chapter 59 

In the eyes of those at the top, just hint a little here and there, and they’d got your worth pegged down to the last dime

It was brutal but real

I’d gotten used to it

After composing myself, I silently left the restroom, vaguely feeling a stare on me

Lifting my eyes, Hogan was leaning against the wall, looking at me

His gaze was quite unfriendly, even aggressive

I quickly averted my eyes and had just taken a couple of steps when a shadow suddenly loomed over me, blocking my path

It was Hogan

Up close, I noticed his pupils were dilated, his eyes hazy and misty

Wearing the dress I gave you to impress Darren,his voice was cold and icy, Xaviera, your really went there.” 

Right there in the open, Hogan cornered me in front of the lounge

Utterly unreasonable
