Hattie looked up and stared at the intimate couple; she shivered all over, and for a second, forgot what she was here for.
Rowan caught sight of Hattie first, and asked Greyson in a wondering tone, "Who’s that woman, and why’s she standing in front of our house?"
Greyson immediately looked down.
Hattie’s heart felt as if it began to tighten, and she stared back at him.
What kind of reaction would he have from the sight of her?
Greyson only stared for a second, then he looked away.
“No idea.” He said coldly, yet Hattie could hear the words clearly.
“Guard,” He looked behind him and summoned his men, “Get that woman off the premises, don’t let her dirty my entrance!”
“Yes!” Two servants replied and quickly brought men to drive away Hattie.
“I’m Hattie Moss, I’d like to see Greyson…” Hattie spoke to a servant who appeared familiar.
They’ve all served her before, so they all knew her.
“I’m sorry, Miss Moss, but you heard the master; he hates you now, and…” The servant said politely, “the master’s about to get married, and the madam is the current Miss Porter.”
Hattie felt a sharp pain in her chest, yet she continued to speak, “I know… I just want to speak with him for a bit, that’s all…”
"Sorry!" The servants still restrained Hattie and threw her out.
Outside, the wind began to grow stronger, and suddenly, rain began to hail down the dark night sky.
Hattie stood before the entrance, the security guards wouldn’t let her even near the door. She did not even have a place to hide from the rain, and she became soaking wet.
She hugged her knees and curled into a ball to keep herself warm.
All she wanted was to ask Greyson to show mercy and leave Jensen alone; she wouldn’t say anything more.
That was… all she wanted.
Hattie kept this thought in mind; she tried her best to avoid thinking about how shameful it was for her to come find Greyson like this…
