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.

The look in her eyes seemed to be asking who invited her here.
