When Hailey came back after tidying herself up, Kevin and I had already added each other on WhatsApp and had a great conversation.
Her face instantly twisted.
"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."
