I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 132

His tall frame shielded Sienna firmly; anyone with eyes could see just how much Hayden cared about her.

Hayden stepped forward, practically pressing himself against Zoe.

The faint scent of patchouli wafted from him, accompanied by the distinct note of a woman's perfume.

Zoe could easily tell it was Sienna's.

She took a step back, putting distance between herself and Hayden.

"Mr. Thorne, don't get so close. We aren't exactly that familiar."

Her eyes were brimming with pure provocation.

Sienna, pale as a sheet, subconsciously grabbed Hayden's sleeve, her body trembling slightly.

She wasn't afraid of people misunderstanding her relationship with Hayden.

She was only terrified that Zoe, who had been acting like a possessed woman lately, would expose her hidden marriage to Hayden.

All activities in the banquet hall came to a halt. Everyone held their drinks, pretending to chat casually while pricking up their ears to catch the drama.

Hayden's gaze turned predatory and somber, making him look rather terrifying.

Zoe sneered internally.

Did it hurt him that much just because his woman took a verbal hit?

Good.

Let him get a good taste of the pain he inflicted on her that day.

Since attacking Sienna made him suffer so deeply.

How could she possibly pass up such a perfect opportunity?

Zoe's gaze landed heavily on Sienna, causing the other woman to suddenly shiver.

Her high-and-mighty posture was completely gone. In this very moment, Sienna wished she could just vanish into thin air.

"Come with me."

Hayden suddenly lost control. He grabbed Zoe's wrist and, ignoring the shocked stares of the crowd, dragged her straight into the private elevator.

The moment the doors slid shut, before Zoe could even react, she was pinned hard against the cold wall of the elevator. Hayden's kiss crashed down on her, fierce and completely unexpected.

All Zoe could smell was the aroma of the cocktail he had just been drinking, along with the faint scent of patchouli.

So it was alcohol, not Sienna's perfume.

Had she misunderstood?
