Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 208 An Old Friend Reunites

Hayley’s POV:

Hera had already grown irritated by the other person’s rude and inconsiderate behavior.

I gently calmed Hera down, suppressing my anger, and furrowed my brow as I looked at the hand gripping my wrist. “Do I need to report to you here?”

Siete immediately released my wrist and said, “That’s not what I meant. I was just surprised that you would come to a fan event for Gillian.”

My face remained expressionless.

Even when mentioning someone I once knew intimately, I replied calmly. “You’re overthinking it. I just happened to pass by. I have no interest in her.”

Siete clearly didn’t believe me. He stubbornly tried to persuade me. “It’s okay: Gillian really wants to see you. She wants to explain what happened back then. How about I arrange for you two to meet?”

I looked at Siete with a half–smile, pressing my lips together, and said, “Do you really think there’s any point in meeting now?”

“Are you still holding a grudge about what happened back then? I think the two of you could sit down and talk it through. Maybe once the misunderstanding is cleared up, you’ll let go of the past and return to the music scene. That’s what all your fans are hoping for, he continued, trying to persuade me.

“Harmony, no matter what happens, we’re old friends. Wouldn’t it be pleasant to reunite as old friends?

I didn’t say anything, but on stage, the familiar opening music began to play.

Gillian announced, “Next, I’m going to perform my signature song, Star Whispers.”

It was Gillian’s most famous song since her debut. Even years later, it remained near the top of the pop music charts, a song everyone knew by heart.

As soon as the opening notes played, the fans in the audience began singing along together.

“This song. both in composition and lyrics, is a classic. After all these years, it still stands the test of time and remains a staple in the music world, Siete praised generously, right in front of me.
