Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 113: The One Who Left

As if on cue, Haze paused from scrolling on his phone, raising a brow, while Evangeline glanced at him too.

"We had a business meeting before coming here," Evangeline answered, turning to Haze. "But I didn't know he'd wear khaki. Copycat."

She rolled her eyes, making me laugh, while Haze frowned deeply at her comment.

"Since when did you own khaki?" he retorted, clearly annoyed. He dropped his phone, directing his attention entirely to her.

If I end up single forever, I'd still be happy as long as my friends find their own happiness. I already have my kids, and I don't need another relationship if betrayal is all that awaits me.

"I'll change later. I don't want to match with you," Evangeline added, shrugging. Haze simply went back to scrolling on his phone, unbothered.

Shaking my head, I sat beside Evangeline and leaned toward her. "Still in denial, huh? You're just giddy," I whispered.

"Shut up, bitch," she hissed, frowning as she shoved me away. Then she quickly pulled a bottle of alcohol from her bag, spraying her hands.

I just laughed before I crossed one leg over the other. I waited to see what would happen now that we were all together.

It looked like a reunion... an incomplete one.

"Where's Ash?" Evangeline asked as she finished cleansing her hands. "I told you. Bring him with you."

"He didn't want to come," I replied flatly before resting my head on the couch. I was greeted by the expensive chandelier that probably cost more than the entire office of Mason. "He already told you that earlier, but you still insisted. It's like college days, Evangeline Rose."

I suddenly remembered the time she commanded me to make Ash's band perform during freshmen week. Old habits don't change. We're older now, but she still uses that same tactic.
