Chapter 554
"Hi, Haley. Why is Mr. Winston here?" Ariana tugged at Haley's arm, pointing towards the bar counter.
Haley followed Ariana's finger and indeed saw a man sitting at the counter, his profile facing her, and she could tell it was Ivan just by looking at the silhouette.
Wasn't this man supposed to be looking for Sterling? Why is he at the bar?
Just as Haley was about to get up, she suddenly noticed another familiar figure sitting across from Ivan.
It was a woman with chestnut curly hair, her profile deep and foreign.
The woman who visited Ivan in the hospital that day, it was this woman. She seemed to be a psychologist named Katherine.
What are Ivan and Katherine doing here?
Haley's momentary confusion vanished from her eyes, and she got up and walked over.
"Haley, ask Mr. Winston to come over for a drink," Ariana said with a wink.
Although everyone was afraid of the aura emanating from Ivan, they were more eager to see how Ivan and Haley would be together, even if they were being affectionate, there was no fear.
Haley chuckled, "Okay, I'll have him come over for a few drinks."
After whispering something to Ariana, she looked over and found that the man who had been sitting there drinking just a moment ago was now nowhere to be seen.
Only Katherine was sitting there holding a glass of wine.
‘Where's Ivan?’
Haley quickly walked over, looked around, but didn't see Ivan's figure.
"Miss Deross, what a coincidence," Katherine said, setting down her glass, her gaze deep as she looked at Haley, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Haley frowned at her. "Where's the person who was just drinking with you?"
"Just now?" Katherine raised an eyebrow. "I've been drinking alone here, no one was with me. Miss Deross, are you mistaken?"
Haley's frown deepened.
If it was just her, a mistake was possible, but Ariana clearly saw it too.
From that angle just now, Ivan should have seen her too, so why did he leave without a word?
Haley asked lightly, "Why are you drinking alone here, Katherine?"
"I was tired from work, so I came to relax after work," Katherine said, drinking half a glass of wine, her gaze fixed on Haley, her tone inexplicably saying, "Miss Deross, I envy you. You're only two years older than me, yet you already have a happy family, four lovely children, Ivan loves you so much, you are the happiest woman in the world."
Haley felt that her words sounded strange.
She said lightly, "You will also meet the right person for you, and you will have your own children. There's nothing to envy."
"Is that so?" Katherine lowered her head, drinking a bitter cup of wine.
She was a loving person, but the one she loved lived in darkness, and she could never have her own love in this lifetime.
As Haley pondered about Ivan, planning to give him a call to ask what was going on, a commotion suddenly came from the entrance of the bar.
Dozens of bodyguards rushed in, blocking all the exits of the bar.
Then, a man in a suit walked in under the crowd's escort.
As soon as Katherine saw the newcomer, her fingers trembled slightly, she pursed her lips and said, "I'll go to the restroom."
She put down her glass and hurriedly left.
Haley's frown deepened.
She had clearly seen Ivan drinking with Katherine just now, so why was Ivan now entering the bar from outside?
The more she thought about it, the more bizarre the situation seemed.
