After My Bestie Pushed Me Off the Cliff

"Jennifer, I know you have a hot temper. Please forgive me this time," Hailey said softly, trying to calm me down.

Kevin frowned when he heard this. "Hailey, you really lack confidence in yourself. Your friend is very understanding and not angry with you."

I interrupted, "Yeah, why would I be angry with you? I was just afraid that you would overthink things. That's why I specifically told Kevin to persuade you."

"Hailey, Jennifer is indeed a good friend of yours. She guessed that you would overthink things. Be open-minded. We are good buddies, don't think too much," Kevin lectured.

I looked at Hailey, who was agreeing with Kevin while her veins were popping out of anger. I felt very satisfied.

In the evening, Kevin invited everyone to have dinner together. I dressed up and went to the banquet. I took the initiative to raise my glass and toast the members of the cycling team, saying, "We wouldn't have met if we hadn't ridden together. I apologize for the unpleasantness during the day."

When I lowered my head and surrendered, those men didn't take advantage of me and happily drank with me.

After several rounds of drinking, someone who had drunk too much started to boast, "People of different levels can't play together, Jennifer, you dress up quite beautifully, and you are not inferior to Hailey at all."

Someone agreed, "I think so too. When both of them are wearing cycling clothes, Jennifer's figure looks even better than Hailey's."

I took a big gulp of wine and suppressed the disgust in my heart.

But Hailey still let others compare. She pouted unhappily.

Kevin glanced at Hailey and also gave me a displeased look. He stood up and gave each of those two men a slap, "Stop talking nonsense and drink, drink."

I raised my glass again, "Thank you all for your kindness, but I can't compare to Hailey. Since childhood, Hailey has been the most recognized beauty in our place."

"Since we met, we have all spoiled Hailey, so her temper has become a bit arrogant. I apologize for her and hope that we can often get together in the future."

Someone nodded deeply in agreement with my words.

Hailey snorted arrogantly.

They smirked and said that beautiful women should be a little arrogant, otherwise the pretty appearance would be wasted.

Hailey chatted and laughed with those men, enjoying their compliments and care.

Kevin, who was drinking alone with a gloomy face, didn't pay any attention.

I watched coldly, a straight man and a flirtatious peacock. Without me, they couldn't get together.

Unexpectedly, Hailey, who had drunk too much, leaned on Kevin's shoulder.

She mumbled unclearly, "Kevin, I really like you. When will you notice me?"

Other men in the team looked at Kevin with jealousy or teasing.

Kevin's body instantly stiffened, and his face and ears turned red.

I instinctively tightened my glass and listened to his answer.
