After Ninety-Nine Rejections Chapter 10
ExtraHayden first saw Sydney in the temple's backyard.She was tossing a wish she'd written onto a tree, and jumped a little too high, twisting her ankle.Hayden hurried over to ask if she was okay. Her face was red, and though she looked like she might cry from the pain, she still managed a smile.After that day, Sydney announced she would pursue him.Hayden couldn't understand why she suddenly liked him.When he had walked her home, she had whispered that he was cold, like a robot.Then the next day, she was smiling and approaching him.As always, Hayden refused her advances.But Sydney was stubborn. No matter how indifferent he was, she kept coming back.Hayden didn't know what else to do, so he let her draw the fortune sticks. He said if she got the supreme blessing, he would marry her.Sydney's face lit up with a bright, happy smile.Watching her so happy, Hayden felt a strange flicker inside him. He had taken the supreme blessing fortune stick himself, and she would

Hayden's eyes flickered with hurt.I scoffed."Hayden, it's just a broken jar. No matter if you made it yourself, it's not the one from before."Before I could open the door, he grabbed my hand again. This time, there was a pleading look in his eyes."Sydney, I-I was wrong. I didn't understand my own heart before. I'd already fallen for you without even realizing it."He said he liked me, but his face was still so certain, as if he expected me to happily keep trailing after him once I heard those words.Caleb's timing was perfect. He wrapped an arm around my waist."Hayden, Sydney is my fiancée now. Confessing in front of me seems... unwise, don't you think?"Hayden froze for a moment, glancing unhappily at Caleb's hand around my waist before turning back to me."Sydney, I said I like you."I laughed."So what? I don't like you anymore."The color drained from Hayden's face instantly.Seeing the seriousness in my eyes, Hayden finally panicked.He hurriedly pulled the fort

"What happened, Selena? What's wrong?"Selena cried pitifully. She covered her face and whimpered, claiming I had suddenly slapped her.I rolled my eyes and signaled for the race track manager."Excuse me, I'd like to check the nearby surveillance footage. Is that possible?"Selena's eyes widened in surprise.The manager knew I had come with Caleb, and he quickly sent someone to retrieve the footage.Selena panicked and tried to stop it."No... you can't!"Catching Hayden's puzzled look, she stammered an excuse."Hayden, you don't believe me? Why do you need to check the cameras?"Hayden frowned slightly but said nothing.Selena's eyes darted around in desperation. Realizing she couldn't stop it, she reverted to her usual act, looking innocent and pitiful."Hayden, if you don't believe me, fine! I'll go! It's not like it was a big deal. She just got upset and slapped me. I'm fine."Hayden's hand instinctively reached for hers.Selena shot me a smug smile.Then, the manag

The car beside us slowed to a stop.Hayden's dark, unreadable gaze landed on Caleb's arm around me.Next to him, Selena glared at me with obvious frustration.Caleb leaned close, his voice teasing in my ear."If you'd worn this dress while chasing Hayden earlier, I'm pretty sure the abstinent monk would've broken his vow by now."I shot Hayden a glance, then back at Caleb."Jealous?" I asked.Caleb froze for a second, then quickly slipped back into his carefree grin."Who's jealous? You're standing here in that dress, smiling like that by the race cars, and tell me which guy wouldn't be staring? Even Hayden, whom you chased for three years and got nowhere, got distracted. You really have a way of pursuing someone..."His words died in his throat. A faint blush spread across his face because my hand was at the back of his neck. I pulled him down sharply and whispered in his ear."You don't need to be jealous now. I wore this dress for you, and only you."A loud bang came from

I nodded."Yes, I knew. If I had known you found me so annoying and were trying to make me back off with tricks like this, I would have given up long ago. So Hayden, I'm not going to like you anymore."Hayden's eyes went wide in disbelief, and his face drained of color.After a long pause, he murmured, "I-I didn't... I never thought you were annoying..."I didn't bother listening to his excuses. I turned and stepped into the elevator.Hayden stayed silent and watched me go, a flicker of pain in his eyes.Outside the hotel, I ran right into Selena.She was clinging to Dad, grinning from ear to ear.When she saw me, arm linked with Caleb, a flash of jealousy crossed her face.Dad froze for a second when he saw Caleb, then quickly masked it with a smile and stepped forward to greet him.I tugged on Caleb's hand. He opened his mouth to greet my dad, but when he saw my annoyed expression, he swallowed his words."Mr. York, pleased to meet you."Seeing my arm linked with Caleb, D

The moment the words left my mouth, the elevator doors closed. I caught a flash of surprise on Hayden's face before it disappeared.The elevator quickly reached the top floor, where Mom was waiting at the door.She glanced at me as I arrived, and when she saw I wasn't acting out of the ordinary, she finally relaxed.I smiled at her, then we walked into the party together.Caleb arrived in a hurry, slipping on his suit jacket at the very last second. He stood next to me and gave a casual whistle."Looking good."I laughed and looped my arm through his."Do I? I think I look pretty good too. But honestly, I like seeing you in a racing suit more than a suit. It suits you better."A flicker of surprise crossed Caleb's eyes."You've seen me race?"I nodded."Last year's National Supercar Championship. You were trending for three days straight. Hard not to notice."Caleb's interest piqued."Want to go for a spin after this?"I nodded without hesitation.The ceremony moved quic
