Hazel didn't really want to talk to Leila, but with Mandy sitting next to her, she just had to explain. "The truth is, I don't really have a boyfriend. I just had a friend pretend to be my boyfriend for their engagement ceremony." She said this casually while looking straight into Leila's eyes. "Are you satisfied now, Miss Leila?"
Leila pouted and stared at her blankly for a moment. She wanted to say something to get under her skin, but her words had rendered her speechless.
The situation had made Mandy feel sympathetic towards her friend, so she put her arms around her shoulder to hug her. As her best friend, she could easily sense what she was trying to do.
"Your friend seems to have a particular curiosity about me," said Hazel, as she took a sip from her glass of wine and turned her gaze towards Zac.
