General POV
It was the day of Jenna Wood's birthday. Elena was busy doing last minute preparations. After checking everything personally, she was quite satisfied with herself and her team's work. She patted herself for it. It was a beautiful baby pink and white decor with balloons all around the ground and foam to give a look of fairy world, set up in nearby small banquet hall reserved by them for a day.
Seeing everything almost done, She left for her apartment to change and to ready Noel and Jenna. "Are you sure, Aliya you don't wanna come, me and Noel will miss you" Elena said to her sister.
"No go ahead, I really have an important meeting otherwise I would have come, take care of yourself and Noel" Aliya replied and left for her office.
Elina readied Noel in a princess gown and did her lightest make up enough for a child, then she put on her royal blue lace knee length dress, did her minimal make up, curled her straight hair and put on heels. By the time, they were done, it was time for the party. They locked their apartment and reached the venue.
On reaching there, Noel ran towards her friends to play, Elena was finding Michael and Julia- Michael's wife to ask if everything is fine.
Hayden was done with his work when he remembered , he has to go the Michael's daughter's birthday. He thought of ditching it, because he did not feel like going but ditched the idea of ditching due to Michael.
He was exiting the building, not expecting Michael to be still standing there for him to drive to his apartment. He kept his shock at bay and curtly asked Michael to go home and enjoy his daughter's birthday. Michael chuckled, for he knew Hayden was not comfortable showing emotions like kindness but he did it for him. He wanted to contradict but one look from Hayden, he left for his house.
Hayden reached his apartment, Martha was resting in guest room as she was not feeling good, Hayden changed into burgundy suit and drove himself to the venue. Elena was looking for Michael when he and Julia entered the hall with Jenna. Jenna was looking like adorable princess in red dress. She greeted Mr. and Mrs. Wood and got the satisfied answer for the arrangements and decor. She was talking to them when she felt someone's eyes on her.
Hayden was looking for Michael and his daughter for all he wanted was to congratulate her and then leave. He was not comfortable in informal family parties and dinners.
He was impressed by the decor, it was perfect for a child's birthday celebration, must be some professional- he thought.. checking around the hall he saw someone and couldn't take his eyes off her. He froze for a second but composed himself and started walking towards her. Elena saw that Hayden was coming towards her. She frowned thinking what was he doing there. Could it be he was stalking her? Yes.. that could be.. otherwise what is the purpose of him here at a child's birthday party. She excused herself and started approaching him. She looked around here and there from the corner of her eye to see if anyone was noticing them. When it was clear she holded his hand and dragged him to the isolated corner where no one was noticing them. "What are you doing here?.. Are you stalking me??... don't tell me you came here just to apologise?? " she whispered still clueless.
