The Proud Boss Lady. novel Chapter 53

" Hailey Wayne," her name was mentioned as she mounted up the podium. She stood there for a while looking around. She was thankful for her brother and her best friend for their immense support of her dreams.

" People were against me an aviation school to learn how to become a pilot one day. One may ask why? Well, according to them, my family was rich. I mean super rich so why didn't I work for them instead of following my stupid dreams that would land me nowhere. Ah, how I wish they were seated right here, I would have looked in their faces and said...

" Bitch, I made it," she added as everyone chuckled.

" But to those who supported me, I love you and I am so glad I did not let you down. Youre the best!" she descended the stage and walked towards her seat where Keith and Sunny sat.

" I love you guys to the moon and back," she whispered to them.

" We can't love you any less," 

" Hailey, wait up!" Ansel caught up with them.

"  What's up Ansel?" she rubbed her eyes.

" I just want a picture with you," 

" Alright," she agreed as Sunny took a couple of pictures of them. Other students came to join in their picture taking. Keith stood beside his car happy for his sister's achievement. He was glad that he was there for her and was able to share in her happiness.

" Keith, come on." she called him join them to take a picture. Hailey, Sunny and Keith, just the three of them and no one else.

" Fine, just for the gram," he added joining them in taking their picture.

" Tell me all about that date, I'm curious," Freya sipped her wine.

" The date was great, dinner was lovely. We talked about random things, took a walk, star gazed. It was the best time I had since forever." 

" I'm happy for you Jess, you've been through a whole lot and now you've found love," Freya added.

" Let's hope it lasts," she murmured.

"  Don't say that. Enjoy the moment to the fullest," 

" Talking about love, I saw Miguel." she half-smiled.

" Where? and what did he say?" Freya furrowed her brows.

" At the supermarket, with his wife. He just said hi and asked how I was doing, then continued his shopping with his wife." she shrugged.

" He married? That soon?" Freya was shocked.

" Yeah, that was the same expression I had on when he introduced her, he claimed he wasn't over the death of his wife and that was why we couldn't be together," 

" Maybe a change of environment made him get over her quickly, that's why he got married. Forget about Miguel and focus on Ezra," she advised.

" Thanks," they clicked glasses together.

" Have you heard from Jackie lately? Seems she's been MIA." Freya inquired.

" Nah, it's been a while. She may be enjoying her man you know," Jess teased.

" Or gone on tour," Freya showed her phone to her friend. She was browsing on Instagram and saw a picture of Jackie, Mase, Alicia and Kyle on your in Europe.
