Chapter 020 See Me in Your Next Life
Hailey listened to Luca’s confession without any fluctuation in emotions. When he grabbed her hand, she frowned and quickly pulled her hand out of his palm. She endured the nausea that surged out of her chest and asked him expressionlessly, “Since you already knew what Eve did, why didn’t you report her to the police?
Luca was choked by her. He blinked his eyes guiltily and quickly explained, “I was deceived by her appearance! I have been kept in the dark for the past three years. I thought you really fell off the cliff by accident. You don’t even know how sad I was after knowing that you died. I once had depression and had to see a psychiatrist. Eve took advantage of this opportunity to come to my side and tricked me into sleeping with her…”
As soon as he said this, the alarm clock rang, startling him.
Hailey picked up the phone and turned off the alarm clock. She said
indifferently, “Time’s up. You can go now.”
Luca was stunned.
He did not expect his explanation and affectionate confession, which he had
spent two days and two nights to make up, could not move Hailey. He thought that Hailey would forgive him without waiting for him to finish.
Then, she would burst into tears and throw herself into his arms. She would be so touched that he could smoothly get the beauty back.
But what was the situation now? Where was the problem?
“Hailey!” Luca panicked and grabbed Hailey’s hand. “Don’t you believe me? I can
swear that every word I said is true!” Hailey coldly shook off his hand. His touch was like poison to her, and she was disgusted by his touch. She put away her phone, saved the recording, and looked at Luca without hiding her disgust for him.
“You’ve already slept with her. You are not that pure anymore, so don’t ever
appear in front of me again. You are an eyesore. You and Eve make up quite a good match. A bastard and a bitch. I wish you two a good future.”
Luca was completely confused by Hailey’s attitude. He was dragged out by the security guard like a stray dog, and his consciousness had yet to come back to his senses. It was not until he was dragged to the door of Crystaldale Company that he
finally realized what just happened. He kicked his legs and shouted, “Hailey, you have to believe me. I love you!” Just as Owen got out of the car and stepped to the door of Crystaldale Company, he saw a man who looked like a dog thrown out by the security guard and dodged.
His sword-like eyebrows trembled. Was the Hailey he was calling, Hailey Newman?
In front of the sink, Hailey used the hand wash liquid to carefully rub back and forth where she had been touched by Luca, lest she got infected with any bacteria.
After washing her hands, she took out an air freshener and sprayed it all over the place. She even ordered her assistant to move the chair that Luca had sat on and change it to a new one. The items that the stinky man had touched should all be thrown away.
It was finally clean.
Hailey sat on the new office chair and looked at the newly submitted proposal. The executive assistant knocked on the door and reported, “Miss Newman, the front desk said that there is a Mr. Moore downstairs who wants to see you, but he doesn’t have an appointment, so what should we…” Hailey’s long and curly eyelashes trembled, and her eyes that were staring at the proposal turned blur. After three seconds of silence, she replied, “Tell him I’m busy. I won’t see him.” The receptionist quickly received the notice. After hanging up the phone, the receptionist put on a professional smile. “I’m
sorry, Miss Newman is busy and has no time to see guests for the time being. Sir, you can make an appointment first.”
The last sentence was the benefit that she gave to him because of his
handsome and perfect face. “What? No time?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Owen’s personal assistant, Jose, had followed had never been rejected since he worked for Owen. For a moment, he could not hold back his disappointment and walked forward coldly. “Do you know who Mr. Moore is? Are you really going to send us away like this?” The young lady at the front desk was so scared that her face turned pale, and she trembled. “I know that this gentleman is not an ordinary person, but no one dares to disobey Miss Newman’s orders. You saw it just now. The man was the young master of Freaktube Group, but he was dragged out too. If you don’t want to be dragged out, you should obediently register and make an appointment in advance.” “You…” Jose was about to explode in anger. Owen could still be considered calm. He pulled Jose and asked the receptionist, “How soon can I see her if I make an appointment?” The receptionist not only had no resistance to handsome faces but also mellifluous voices. Her legs went soft after being wonderstruck by the man’s low-pitched and attractive voice. She could not help but gave him additional service. “Sir, please wait a moment. I’ll ask for you.” The executive assistant knocked on the door of the CEO’s office again. He braced himself and came over to ask, “Miss Newman, Mr. Moore downstairs said that he wants to make an appointment with you and asked when you are free.”
The deputy president, Ryker, was discussing a proposal with Hailey at the moment. Seeing Hailey frown, he immediately told off the executive assistant. “What’s wrong with you? You can’t even arrange such a small matter?” “I’m sorry, Miss Newman.” The executive assistant quickly apologized, cursing
his sister who caused the trouble. Hailey frowned and replied mercilessly, “Tell him, in his next life.” They were already divorced, so what was the point of meeting up? It was better to not see each other. Perhaps he could reminisce her in his memories. Therefore, Owen, who had waited downstairs patiently for a long time, finally
got a reply-“In your next life.”
Owen never had a good temper in the first place, so his face darkened on the
spot.
“You guys are going too far!” Jose slammed the table in fury. “Let’s go.” Owen grabbed Jose’s collar.
It wasn’t like he had to see her. If she didn’t want to see him, so be it! Who cared? Heh.
