When their eyes met, Jaime was stunned.“Marie? Why are you here?”
Jaime instinctively brushed away the hand of the Woman on his arm, and her expression stiffened.
“I am friends with Taryn, too. Is it strange for me to come to her birthday party?” Mariela looked at Jaime with a half–smile. “No, I didn’t mean that. I thought you didn’t like attending such parties, so I didn’t tell you in advance,” he said. Mariela sneered, thinking, “Really? You big liar.
“You didn’t tell me because you wanted to bring someone else.”
After Jaime finished explaining, he coldly scanned the room.
The look in her eyes seemed to be asking who invited her here.
Taryn averted her gaze nervously, pretending it wasn’t her doing.
*Hello. You must be Mariela, right? I’m Juliette. You must have heard about me from Jay,” the woman who came with Jaime approached Mariela, greeting her.
Mariela thought, “So, this is Juliette, Jaime’s first love as well as his beloved.”
She still felt a pang in her heart, her chest tight. After all, she had been seeing Jaime for three years. She couldn’t just stop loving him overnight. But she masked her emotions well.
