Dr. Hayes had never been one to mince words or care about social niceties.
Especially since she had deduced that Seraphina was not his legal wife, her disdain was palpable.
The sweet, docile smile Seraphina had plastered on for Dr. Hayes stiffened slightly.
She didn't understand why Dr. Hayes seemed to have an issue with her.
Even if she wasn't officially married to Sebastian yet, that was between them. Her behavior and professional competence were impeccable. She couldn't fathom when she might have offended the older woman.
She simply couldn't comprehend why Dr. Hayes was publicly snubbing her.
Fortunately.
There weren't many people around.
Sebastian remained entirely composed. He shot a subtle glance at Raelynn, and noting she had no intention of jumping in, he replied in a flat tone, "My wife is busy."
Those four words.
Plunged the area into an eerie, suffocating silence.
Raelynn almost burst out laughing from the sheer audacity of it.
He wasn't denying he had a wife, yet he blatantly refused to acknowledge that Mrs. Croix was standing right next to him.
Seraphina had initially felt a flash of shock and resentment that Sebastian would openly admit to having a wife, but she quickly realized his angle.
Dr. Hayes knew he was married; he couldn't deny it to her face.
So he admitted he had a wife, but he didn't admit it was Raelynn!
She shot Raelynn a look, her eyes brimming with undisguised mockery.
At the end of the day.
Raelynn was the pathetic one!
Standing right there, yet not even worthy of being acknowledged.
Forced to watch helplessly as Seraphina took her place as the woman by Sebastian's side.
Dr. Hayes had zero interest in other people's domestic drama. She simply despised the blatant disrespect. However, she wasn't going to start a war with Sebastian over someone like Seraphina.
She didn't spare Seraphina another glance, turning her warm attention back to Raelynn. "My dear Raelynn, quite a few top-tier researchers are here today. If you're free later, come find me for a chat."
