Chapter 101 So disoriented

Renee was too occupied by thoughts about Vivian and Marcelo and she became so disoriented.

“Be careful, Miss Hudson.”

“Ah!”

Renee stumbled but was steadied by a swift hand.

“Can’t you watch where you’re going?” The man’s voice carried a hint of irritation.

“Damian?” Recognizing him, Renee regained her composure. “Thank you. What brings you here?”

“I composed the music for today’s ceremony, so naturally, they invited me,” He explained, slipping his hand back into his pocket. “I know you’re not fond of me. It wasn’t my intention to cross paths with you.”

Renee, feeling misunderstood, replied, “I don’t hold any dislike for you. Weren’t you always the one who had issues with me?”

“What? I didn’t..I don’t!“Damian stuttered.

Renee began to list past grievances. “In kindergarten, you pulled my hair. In elementary, you stole my eraser. In middle school, you teased me for being a nerd. In high school, you’d turn away whenever you saw me, it was either that or you made fun of me and bullied me countlessly.”

Her expression seemed to ask, “Need I say more?”

Embarrassed, Damian avoided her gaze.

He wondered why these actions now seemed so foolish.

After a pause, he ventured, “If you don’t hate me, then why don’t you wear the hairpin I gave you? Don’t you like it? If not, feel free to discard it.”

“The hairpin’s at home. It’s not that I don’t want it,” Renee explained patiently.

“Oh.”

The awkwardness was palpable, and though Renee wanted to laugh, the name she’d overheard weighed on her mind, dampening her mood.

“Damian, may I ask you something?” Without waiting for his response, she continued, “Do you know Vivian Lambert?”

“Vivian Lambert? How do you know her? She’s a jewelry designer who’s been abroad for years. There’s been no talk of her here.“Damian moved them aside to avoid obstructing others.

“She…does she know Marcelo?“Renee’s heart raced with the question.

“The Lamberts and Marcelo’s mother’s families are old friends. Vivian and Marcelo grew up together “Damian shared. Then,changing the subject, he asked, “Will you be returning with me later?”

Renee shook her head. “I’ve already booked my flight.”
