Chapter 120
So, until I get to meet Old Madam Presgrave, I’U take my time to eat up all the food here. I can spend as much time as I want since Dad is taking care of Jared, Anastasia thought.
There was another sports car outside the hotel-it was Hayley’s ride to the event. She had put effort into her outfit, and she had come up with a good idea of what to do. Shè strutted over to the main lobby. There was a checkpoint where staff members were to check for the guests! invitation cards at the entrance, but Hayley walked in without stopping by. A female security guard hastily stepped forward with a smile. “Please show me your invitation card, Miss. Thank
you.”
Hayley instantly raised her eyebrow before speaking in a haughty tone. “Do I need an invitation? My boyfriend didn’t tell me anything about that!”
“Who’s your boyfriend?” the security asked.
“My boyfriend’s Elliot, the young master of the Presgrave Family,” she replied in a firm and loud tone. Suddenly, the hotel manager, who had been standing beside the security guard, hurried over. “Hello, Miss. I’m the hotel manager. Are you President Presgrave’s girlfriend?”
“Yeah! My name’s Hayley. Isn’t Old Madam Presgrave’s dinner party happening tonight? I’m sorry. I didn’t know I needed any invitation cards. Can you just let me enter?” she uttered in an innocent tone.
Right then, Daniel, who had already come to an earlier agreement with Hayley, put on a worried expression as he hurried over to Elliot, who was chit-chatting with a few seniors. “Miss Seymour is here, President Presgrave. She’s being stopped at the main lobby.”
Elliot knitted his brows together while holding onto his glass of wine. “What’s she doing here? Did you tell her to come?”
“Yeah! I mentioned the party when I delivered some of her daily necessities to her yesterday, President Presgrave. Did I say something wrong?” Daniel replied. Elliot couldn’t say that his grandmother hadn’t invited Hayley. However, since Daniel had already brought up the party, Elliot had no choice but to bring Hayley in.
