Chapter 8

• "Chelsito, I'll help you in the kitchen. I've finished what I had to do," Hailey said, ready to do it.
• "Are you sure, Hailey? Today is a very busy day, I don't want to inconvenience you."
• "Not at all, tell me why you're so worried."
• "It's the dessert, girl. I don't know what to do. I already have the appetizer and the main course... I just need the dessert, oh, and I also have the appetizers."
• "Calm down, Chelsito. I'm not sure if I can be of much help, but I can make a delicious chocolate cake."
• "Would you help me with that?"
• "Of course, if you allow me!"
• "I trust you, girl! Do you need my help?"
• "Don't worry, I can do it myself, I think... hahaha."
• "That's great because I need to finish a few things. I also have a turkey in the oven, and it has to be perfect."
• Hailey started making the chocolate cake, remembering her mother.
• Remembering the past
• "Daughter, I'll take your mother out for breakfast. It's time for you to make the cake she loves so much."
• "Yes, father. I love you."
• "Daughter, you made my favorite cake. I love you, my love. Thank you. I always look forward to every birthday to delight my palate," my mother said happily.
• "Mom, I feel the same way about you. I'll make it for you occasionally."
• "I love you, my little one. You have golden hands and a heart full of love."
• The present
• Hailey cried while making the cake batter, but the good thing is that Chelsito didn't notice, and the kitchen assistant gave her space.
• When she put the cake in the oven.
• While she made the milk to moisten it, she had a special touch that made its flavor unique.
• Then she made a chocolate cream.
• When the cake was finally ready, Hailey waited to decorate it herself.
• "It smells delicious, Chelsito," Rosita said.
• "Yes, it's Hailey's cake," he replied.
• "I didn't know you could cook too, although little Paulo was delighted with your seasoning."
• "Well, I learned from my mother and Chelsito."
• "Sabrina!" Rosita said when she saw her.
• "Hello, Rosita."
• "Miss Sabrina, would you like something to eat? How can I serve you, my dear?"
• "I'm looking for Hailey."
• Everyone stared.
• "Miss Sabrina!" Hailey said nervously.
• "Can you come for a moment, please?"
• "As you wish."
• She followed Sabrina.
• "Miss, it's not a good idea. There are a lot of people."
• "Nonsense, let's go... where is your room?"
• In the room...
• "Hailey, I saw a spectacular dress and I said, 'This is for Hailey.'"
• "I feel very sorry, I don't want to be pessimistic, but I don't want to attend that party."
• "No, how can you reject my gift?"
• "The dress is very beautiful, miss, but..."
• "No 'buts.' I'll get in a bad mood if you don't wear it. You deserve to attend that party. Besides, working for my brother, the ogre, is not easy. You deserve it."
• Hailey pondered Sabrina's words.
• "You're... you're right, Miss Sabrina."
• "Just call me Sabrina, please."
• "Alright... Sabrina, I wanted to ask if you have, you know, a cigarette. I'm anxious."
• "Of course, since we're here in your room, we can relax and smoke. How does that sound?"
• "Of course."
• "Sabrina, do you have any friends?" Hailey asked, not understanding how such a beautiful and wealthy girl would talk to her.
• "I had one, she was my so-called 'best friend,' but she took the man I was crazy about. Not anymore! She married that idiot, and he doesn't let her talk to anyone."
• "That's terrible..."
• "And I don't have any because I don't like people who are only interested in me."
• "Kindness and honesty are better."
• "And that's what I liked about you, Hailey. Do you want to be my friend?"
• "! Oh my God! Seriously, Sabrina?
• "Of course, we get along well, we have chemistry, and we've already shared secrets in a short time of knowing each other.
• "You're right, I would really like to be your friend.
• "Friend...
• "Friends... they both laughed.
• After about half an hour, Sabrina went to get ready for the party.
• Hailey went to the kitchen to finish the cake.
• When she saw many people and heard music, she went to her room, looked at the dress again, and it's beautiful.
• She took a bath and then came out to put on the dress.
• When she put it on, it fit perfectly. Someone knocked on the door and she opened it, it was Sabrina.
• "Keep going...”
• "You look sexy, Hailey.”
• "It's very short.”
• "So what? Do you need a boyfriend? Hahaha, relax. Look, I assumed you would say that, so I brought this jacket, put it on, and these sneakers.”
• "I'll return it as soon as I...”
• "What are you saying, girl? You're my friend now. I want you to look at Lucas.
• Just look, you look irresistible. Even my brother Arturo won't be able to take his eyes off you.”
• "He hates me, so I don't think so.”
• "Hahaha, you're so naive. But anyway, if it's not him, it's someone else. Remember, tonight you're not a maid, understand?”
• "Yes, and besides, you look very beautiful, Sabrina. You're gorgeous.”
• "Thank you, darling, but tonight you're going to shine, not me. Wait for me for a moment, I'll be right back, don't move.”
• Sabrina entered with a glass of wine and a black purse.
• "Sit down.”
• Let me make some small waves and light makeup.
• "Now you're perfect.”
• "Thank you, Sabrina.”
• "Oh, don't cry, my friend. Please, take the glass of wine.”
• "Should I drink it now?”
• "No, darling, it's for you to go out and walk for a while with it. It will make you look like "I'm a sexy lady."
• "Hahaha, you made me laugh.”
• "I'll go out first, and I'll come close to you at some point.”
• "Okay...”
• Hailey went out after a few minutes.
• There were many people who looked important, well-dressed men, and beautiful shining women.
• Hailey stood by the window, took a sip of wine, and was nervous.
• "The night is beautiful, don't you think?”
• She turned to look, and it was Arturo's brother.
• "Mr. Octavio, nice to meet you. I'm Hailey.”
• "I know who you are, and it's not working hours for you to call me "Mr.," don't you think?
• "Okay.”
• "By the way, you look beautiful, very different from the woman I've seen these past two days.”
• She blushed.
• "Thank you!”
• "Do you want more wine?”
• "No, actually, I'm not a drinker. Just one glass is fine.”
• "How interesting you are. I feel like I've seen your face somewhere.”
• Arturo arrived, and people started murmuring.
• Hailey turned to look, and there he was, with that elegant demeanor.
• He was wearing a black suit, perfectly tailored, but he had a very beautiful woman by his side.
• Arturo and Hailey's gazes met, but she broke the connection.
• "I think I'll accept that glass of wine.”
• Octavio gestured, and the waiter brought the wine, and he took a sip.
• "How old are you?”
• "I'll be turning 23 in two months.”
• "You look younger, Hailey. We're only 2 years apart.”
• Hailey tensed up when she saw Arturo approaching with the beautiful woman.
• "Brother, congratulations. I told you that you would make it, and look, you're the number 1 CEO. Congratulations, Octavio.”
• "Thank you, Octavio.”
• "Why so serious? Oh right, you're always like that. Not even on the happiest day of your life do you smile.”
• "What are you doing here? "Arturo asked Hailey directly, and the atmosphere became tense. She bit her lower lip.”
• "She's my guest, brother, "Sabrina said out of nowhere. "Is there a problem with that?”
• "No!!”
• "Perfect, and congratulations, little brother. You have company, but what tastes you have.”
• "Pleasure to meet you, guys. I'm Yeimy, Arturo's girlfriend.”
• Hailey swallowed.
• "Nice to meet you, Octavio.”
• Arturo looked Hailey up and down, and she felt exposed.
• Sabrina noticed, except for Octavio who was staring at Yeimy, and she was admiring the luxuries of the mansion.
• Sabrina approached Arturo and whispered in his ear,
• "Isn't she beautiful?"
• He raised an eyebrow.
• "Love, your house looks divine!" Yeimy said.
• "There goes the gold digger," Sabrina said.
• "What?" Yeimy responded.
• "The fortune, darling."
• "Oh, so you guys are fortunate... Arturo, honey, shall we dance?"
• "Of course."
• "Excuse me, sister, take care of Hailey, there are many who want to hit on her," Octavio said and left.
• "What does 'hit on' mean?" Hailey asked.
• "Sleep with, my friend, so watch your back."
