Chapter 19 

Haley’s face turned pale instantly, her eyes brimming with tears that threatened to spill over but didn’t, making her look utterly heart–wrenching.. 

“Rad, you’re tired of me, aren’t you?” Haley’s voice shook and tears streamed down her cheeks as she spoke.!! 

Conrad remained silent, an air of gloom enveloping him. 

“If Aiden were here, I wouldn’t have bothered you.” Haley’s tone was buzzing, but her words camed an undeniable weight.” 

“You might be annoyed with me, but leave her out of this,” Conrad’s her referred to me. 

It looked like they were on the verge of quite an argument, and I wasn’t sure whether to stay put or leave. 

“I get it. From now on, I won’t bother you or interfere with your lives,” Haley said before turning around and striding away 8 

This time, Conrad didn’t go 

after 

her. Instead, he turned to look at me. I slightly lowered my head and walked away. 

Conrad quickly followed, and as we exited the coffee shop, a sharp screeching of brakes cut through the air. Conrad and I saw Haley hit by a car coming out of the parking lot.” 

“Haley Conrad murmured, rushing toward her. 

I froze for a second before hurrying over as well.! 

“Rad, the baby…” Pale as a ghost, Haley clutched her stomach with one hand and gripped Conrad’s arm with the other!! 

Hadn’t she just said she wouldn’t bother him anymore? Yet, upon seeing him, she looked like she had found her savior. Haley missed her calling as an actress. 

Visibly shaking, the driver hurried to explain, “Mr. Wagner, it was her. She ran out in front of me.“3 

Coincidentally, the driver was an employee of the company 8 

“Get lost!” Conrad barked, lifting Haley and quickly carrying her to his car!! 

It was rush hour, and employees were coming and going. The whole scene didn’t go unnoticed, and whispers started circulating. 

“Mr. Wagner seems concemed about that woman. Who is she?” 

“That’s not the point. The point is that woman mentioned a baby…” 

“Oh wow, does Mr. Wagner have a side chick who’s pregnant and showing up 

now? 

“Shush, keep it down. You don’t want the queen bee to hear you.” 

Just as they finished talking, I walked past them, the gossiping girls seeing the queen bee‘ and scampering off with their tongues in their cheeks 8 

I didn’t take it to heart. People talked, and when you got involved with the company’s big boss, gossip came with the territory 

I approached the employee who had hit Haley, noticing his intern badge and asking. “What happened?” 

Pale and jittery, the inter explained, “Ms. Hudson, she ran out in front of me… 

I had seen Haley’s emotional state. It wasn’t his fault for the accident. “Don’t worry about it. We have cameras all around. Don’t fret over 

it 

Being known as Conrad’s assistant and fiancée in the company had its perks. 

The inter visibly relaxed at my words, “Thank you, Ms. Hudson!” 

“Go on back. Any issues will likely have to wait until tomorrow, I calmed the intern before leaving.8 

I called Fanny to explain Haley’s situation, ending with, “Let me know how she is.” 

“Why do you care so much? You didn’t hit her,” Fanny asked, puzzled.” 

I paused before responding. “The employee who hit her works for the company. I don’t want him to face unnecessary trouble.”
