It was clear that Hayden shared my sentiment of not wanting to be part of this. However, I could tell that Hayden was paying enough attention and seemed to be committed to playing his part as the representative of the Torex gang. I guess they call that a sense of responsibility.
“I don’t have to do anything, right?” I asked just to make sure.
“You do. Look pretty and smile. No matter what anyone says, just smile. Do not answer any questions. I’ll do all the talking. Even if someone directs a question at you, just smile,” Hayden instructed.
Those were some pretty harsh instructions. I nodded in acknowledgement. Not quite understanding what was going on, I would rather not say anything wrong either.
