"..." Hailey Hale’s chest tightened heavily as she looked at him in shock.
"Are you happy being with ?" Finn Morgan asked, not knowing where he got the courage, but wanting to take this chance to ask her.
She forced herself back to her senses, smiled, and asked, "Are you joking?" Yet she felt her heartbeat beco erratic.
Finn’s eyes were deeply serious, staring at her without blinking, waiting for her answer.
Under his gaze, Hailey Hale felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, "I..."
"Don’t rush to reject ," Finn said gently, "You can treat it as a joke, or take it seriously, and think it through before telling your answer."
"Joke?" She couldn’t discern his thoughts.
Ding, the elevator stopped at the 22nd floor, and the door opened.
Finn said, "If you want to reject , pretend this is a joke, it won’t affect our friendship." With that, he withdrew his gaze and walked out.
Hailey stood in the elevator, lost in thought for a long ti...
Until the elevator door closed automatically, she hurried to press the open button, and when the door opened again, she walked out.
Finn’s figure was no longer outside, but his words still echoed in her ears.
Was this a confession? Must be a joke, right?
Such an exquisite man, he’s not disgusted by her, let alone like her, right?
But why is her heart racing??
Hailey clutched her chest, feeling such a strong sensation for the first ti! Bang! Bang bang!
In the deputy general’s office, Barbara Sutton saw the photos from the photography contest, her face was downcast and very upset! Her heart felt like it was crawling with thousands of ants!
Footsteps approached, Barbara looked up and saw Hailey Hale co in, their gazes briefly eting.
Recalling Barbara Sutton’s arrogant deanor lately, Hailey disdained to engage with her!
So, she withdrew her gaze and returned to her seat.
"You two aren’t really together." Barbara stared at her and asked, "Why don’t you post sothing to clarify?"
Hailey looked up, "You’re really strange, why should I clarify?"
"..." Barbara felt unwilling.
Hailey observed her expression, smiled, and said, "How do you know we’re not together? He just confessed to , and I’m considering whether to accept him."
"You’re lying!" Barbara clenched her fists, "You’re not even his type!"
Hailey laughed and asked, "So what are you nervous about?"
"..." She was left speechless.
"Barbara Sutton, so things can’t be deceived." Hailey’s smile faded as she spoke seriously, "He doesn’t like you, and you know it."
Barbara’s face looked terrible.
Hailey continued to ask, "Have you ever heard this saying: If it’s ant to be yours, it’ll be yours; if not, you can’t force it. So, you should focus more on work."
"You don’t need to worry about my business." Barbara’s tone was firm, "Everyone has the right to pursue their happiness!"
"I couldn’t care less," Hailey said, "And don’t bother about ! Whether to clarify is my concern!"
...
anwhile, at Hale Villa.
Hailey’s mother also saw today’s first prize-winning work of the photography contest, as many dia outlets were sharing it.
In the photo, Finn and her daughter stood amidst the landscape! A perfect match, made by heaven.
She enlarged the photos one by one and gasped, "My goodness, if they’re not a couple, what are they? How could she deny it?! The child is so dishonest!"
She looked up and shouted to the figure getting dressed, "Honey! The two of them are really together!"
"Together is together," Dennis Hale was very open-minded, "A daughter grows independently, as long as the guy is reliable, don’t stress about whether she’s hiding sothing."
"But she doesn’t admit it! That’s a big problem!" Paige was angry precisely because of this, "How can she hide such an important matter from us? You don’t even know Finn Morgan, how can you be sure he’s reliable? What if he really has a fiancée? There are quite a few n out there who cheat while having a wife and kids!"
"I’ll look into it," Dennis promised to ease his wife’s worries, "I’ll get Finn Morgan’s personal details for you."
