Hailee was listening to Lexus who was just conveying that her plan to prank Ramon didn't work because the man found out beforehand and had now changed his clothes.
However, in the middle of her conversation with Lexus, Hailee heard Ramon's voice telling herself to get ready.
"I will pick you up at seven." Ramon told Hailee, as if he could know for sure that the person who was currently on the phone with Lexus was his future wife.
How could he have such strong intuition?
"Seven o'clock? What is the matter?" Hailee asked after she had overcome her shock at the sudden invitation.
"I have a dinner to attend, so make sure that you are ready when I come to pick you up," Ramon said again. Not saying anything about what Hailee had done to him.
"Oh… alright…" Hailee answered slowly, still not understanding why Ramon suddenly asked her to tag along for a dinner.
However, before Hailee could ask any further questions, came the sounds of a brief conversation between Ramon and Lexus.
"You want to take Hailee to the event tonight? Didn't you say, you wouldn't go?" Lexus asked Ramon curiously.
"I changed my mind," she heard Ramon reply briefly before finally hearing the sound of the door closing.
"What is wrong?" Hailee asked from the otherside of the phone. Feeling curious about what program Ramon wanted to attend that he had to change his decision. "What program did Ramon mean?"
Lexus pressed his cellphone to his ear, but this time he walked into his office, not wanting to be bothered again.
"It is a charity dinner by the Smith family," Lexus told Hailee.
"The Smith family?" Hailee frowned. She felt that the family name was familiar. It was not that Smith is one of the five most respected families in town A, but it looked like she knew someone with the last name Smith… or is it just her imagination?
"Yes." Lexus closed the door behind him and slumped himself on the soft sofa in his office. "They always hold a charity auction once a year. Usually Ramon asks me to attend, but as you heard earlier, he wants to attend the event himself. Even though I have chosen the attire for tonight ... "
And the grumbling Lexus could no longer be heard by Hailee when she remembered, who she knew with the last name Smith.
Actually, it was not someone she really knew ... but, this woman would definitely haunt her days in the future.
Giana Smith.
She was the woman who had an affair with Ramon before the accident.
Then, why did Ramon want to attend the auction? Was he planning to meet Giana Smith?
But, then, why would Ramon ask her to tag along? Wouldn't it be easier if he had gone to the event himself if he wanted to talk to Giana Smith in private?
After realizing this, Hailee immediately came out of her room and half ran to Ramon's study and opened her laptop. She had to find out more about this Giana Smith.
When you are about to enter a battle it is best if you arm yourself with whatever you have and for Hailee, knowing as much as possible about Giana Smith, can help her to deal with the unexpected.
"Hey! Can you still hear me?" Lexus called Hailee after he didn't hear any answer from her.
"Yes, I am still here ... continue, what more do you know about Giana Smith?" Hailee focused her attention on the laptop screen in front of her with the cellphone next to the laptop.
"Why do you want to know about Giana Smith?" Lexus frowned. Feeling weird with that question.
"Because she's going to be the auctioneer, right?" Hailee found a random reason.
Although the reason was not very believable, but it seemed like Lexus did not pay attention to that aspect because shortly afterward he started vomiting all the information he knew about the Smith family.
"So, this is ..." and their conversation lasted for a long time with Hailee ended up knowing some things that were not known to the public but only a handful of people were aware of these little secrets.
==============
At first, Hailee thought she would spend the whole day choosing the right dress for her to wear to the auction tonight.
At the very least, Hailee knew what to wear after talking to Lexus, who told her that she had to wear a dress because Ramon didn't say anything in their brief phone chat.
However, when it was getting late in the afternoon, someone came to deliver a package from one of the boutiques, which was accepted by Martha.
Martha then brought the dress which was still wrapped in plastic to Hailee's room with a beaming smile, as if the dress was for her.
