Frowning , he shouted , " Who the hell are you ? Who let you in ? Get out ! " Then he dashed to Yvette and whispered , " Miss , you're in the wrong place at the wrong time ! Don't mess with those rich boys . Hurry and leave ... " Yvette ignored him , her gaze locked on the " happy birthday " sign on the flower wall . The oversized word " Rena " was displayed at the center of the flowers . 06:40 Chapter 2 1288 ( Vouchers " Who's having a birthday today ? " Yvette asked the servant . " Who else could it be besides Ms. Padilla ? Wait . Why am I telling you this ? " Yvette glanced at the word " Rena " briefly before heading for the main entrance . The door burst open .

Don't smear her just because you couldn't score a date ! " With wounded pride , the man with slicked - back hair pressed on , " I swear . When she walked past me , my bracelet was gone .
