Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice Chapter 258
Advertisement
Hailey twist her body sideways as she look at her back from the whole mirror in front of her. She's satisfied with the outcome of her work out in gym. Not just work out but yoga and then another work out with Jason who still look sleepy and has no urge to go to the reunion. She look at him who is still playing with his phone. She sigh and smack his back.
"Let's go."
"It's too early. Let's arrive late a little for your dramatic entrance." He mutter. She wasn't like others. She doesn't like dramatic entrance but anyway—they could wait so she sat down beside him and watch him kill the enemies.
Jason glance at her and he glance directly at her chest. It's like she's seducing him but she's focused on the game. She's wearing too daring. It was a glamorous gown. See through and men could see her pearl skin from front and mostly at the back. And although it was see-through—and might be too daring—she's still stunning as ever. It was a golden white gown and he want to undress it. Maybe later after the reunion.
"You are getting killed." She snatch his phone away and started attacking until she kill two
Jason smiled and hug her waist and put his chin over her shoulder as she watch how she killed those enemies. She smell good and he was immediately aroused. She was too focused on the game while Jason was getting aroused as she watch her kill the enemies in the game. After a few moments, Hailey won the game and she even give him a kiss on the nose after she won it.
"Let's go." She stand and help him with the suit. She reach a tissue and wipe the lipstick mark on his nose.
Jason use his latest toy—Lamborghini white and they attract attention on the red carpet. There's videographer and then photographers. He came out as he open the door for her. Her dramatic entrance was real. She walk in the red carpet with him. They aren't holding hands or so—they are like cool couple walking in their own runways.
"Hailey!" Someone squeal and she turn to see her friends. She smiled. She was sure that they are already muttering about her and the handsome looking Jason.

She drag Jason to them and Jason look away as he let Hailey drag him to them.
"Guys, remember Jason the ultimate heartthrob?" She said.
"Oh, Jason." They bit their lips slowly trying to seduce him but Jason only lift his brows and smile.
"Girls, let me go. Okay?" He said and pull his arm from Hailey. "I know it's been a long time and—"
"So, where are you working?" One of them asked. He smiled. That's a good question.
"I'm Hailey's personal driver, assistant, butler, body guard and lover. She pay well so I don't have to work somewhere crowded." He said and they all laugh. He surely is joking that's why they laugh.
"You are so funny." Someone smack him flirtatiously on his arm. Maybe testing his biceps. Hailey snicker and look at him.
"Many women said that he's good in bed." Hailey said and winks at them. Jason frown and left. They giggle as they grab Hailey's hand to get more information.
"You are still friends with him" One of them asked. She smiled.
"Of course, he's my best friend."
"Best friend?" One of them grinned. "Or maybe the two of you have this Mutual Understanding?"
She was quiet for a while and thought. They are best friends with benefits. However, she was sure that he will never love her like real lover do. Because he was already in love with someone else. He doesn't want a wife and she wanted a husband with kids. She wants to have her own family. But as for Jason—she knows him well.
"Girls—you never know." She winks at them and when she turn around, her eyes widens to see Tyler. She smiled.
"Hailey." He smile.
"Mr. Erickson." She greets with a big smile. "I am surprised that you are here in our—reunion."
"I was actually part of the batch. If you remember I was in Class A." He said. She nodded. Hailey was in Class Special A so she haven't seen him. "I sponsor the reunion since it's been a while."
Jason was just by the corner reading Tyler's lips. His eyes are fast as he read him and then few of his men around. Something is odd. He quite don't understand why Gabriel wanted him to investigate him.

He look around everything and then—the table is odd. Hailey was sitting next to him but together on the table was Tyler Erickson and another partner. He approach them and he smile as he shake hands with Tyler.
"You are her butler, Jason, right?" Tyler said with a smile.
Jason put his arm on her shoulder with a bright smile.
"Yeah, butler, best friend, driver, body guard, assistant… lover. You named it. I am her everything." He said. Hailey nudge his abdominal and he winced. And watch Tyler's expression. He was calm and that's Tyler's technique
The program starts and they all went to their seats. Tyler was tapping his fingers on his thighs and Jason watch his every move. He can't leave Hailey with him. He's dangerous and he can feel it. Then a thought flashes. Maybe he's just jealous that Hailey was smiling at him cheerfully. The way she used to smile on her boyfriends back then. Anyways, everyone are reminiscing their high school life.
Tyler move closer to her and whisper in her ear something funny. It makes Jason grimaced. The party started and everyone are dancing and playing whatever play it is. Tyler remain talking to her about business and he just eavesdrop. It's more like he's a third wheel.
Hailey excuses herself to go to the powder room. Jason lean and look at Tyler. Then he scoff and check his phone.
"Is there a problem Jason?" Tyler asked.
"Your name isn't Erickson." Jason said.
"I was adopted by British—on my father's side. What's the matter with it?" He said calm and cheerful. The way he smiled said something. A psychopath could mimic. A psychopath is good at concealing everything. But they always leave a flaw. Nobody is perfect after all.
"I see."
"Still as her best friend they say?" Tyler asked. Jason smiled.
"I will always be her best friend. Forever and always." Jason answered confidently. Suddenly his phone rings and it was one of his connection. He left and answer it away from the crowd. He check on Hailey who hasn't come out from the bathroom.
"Sir, we found the man." Jason eyes become fierce. "He let him take the drug and we sketched the face. I am already sending it to your email." Jason hang up and click the email. It took a while since the reception in the area where he is was low. Then his phone chimes and the photo makes him almost jump as he rushes to found no one on the table. Not even Hailey.
He roam around the parking lot to see Tyler with the almost unconscious Hailey in his arm and men are covering him. The car stopped in front of them. Jason didn't think twice but to sprint in their direction and give one of his men a flying kick. Tyler stopped and look straight at him.
"She's not well I am taking her to the hospital." He said.
Jason look at her and then he grab her from him. He let her stand as he scoop her cheek. Her eyes dilated and she clung unto him.
"I don't feel well." She said with teary eyes.
"I will take her from here." Jason said but as he carries her like a bride. Tyler hold his arm.
"Let me take her to the hospital."
"She doesn't need a goddamn hospital!" He scowled at him.
Tyler looked around as he chuckle. Jason started walking away as he became active and felt that they are following. They can't fire a gun at that moment but they can hit him. He walk briskly as one of the old guard came over and ask him if he needs help.
"J…" She started sobbing on his neck. "I am burning up."
Jason froze and look into her dilated eyes. She was drugged.
"Please… I need you… I can't take it." She cried.
"Hush, baby…" He murmured as the guard help them to his car.
