LOGIN"These are the schedules, of ma'am. And there's one more important thing," Abria said, instructing the new P.A. about Hailey's schedule. It had been around 10 days since Abria's promotion to Junior Managing Director, and for now, she was managing Hailey's schedule herself as the new girl was under training.
The new girl, Amber, had started one week ago. Abria had spent that week training her, and now Amber was ready to take over Hailey's work.
"What is it, ma'am?" Amber asked.
As the car rolled smoothly down the road, Caleb, who had been silently contemplating the earlier conversation, suddenly turned his attention to Hailey with a playful grin. "Angry Bird, you asked Cassian about the girlfriend thing. So, haveyouever had a boyfriend?" he teased, raising an eyebrow.Cassian, who had been absentmindedly playing with Hailey's hair, perked up at Caleb's question, his gaze now filled with curiosity. "Yeah, Sweetie," Alex chimed in from the front. "You were only 15 when I left. So how many boys have been brave enough to approach you?"Hailey chuckled softly but didn't answer immediately. She glanced at Cassian, locking eyes with him for a brief second before turning her gaze toward the window, staring out into the night. "Cassian was my first kiss," she admitted quietly, her voice steady yet thoughtful. "It's not that I wasn't approached. Plenty of boys used to send me proposals or ask me out, either directly or through thei
"Shall we head back?" Alex asked, looking at Hailey with a smile."Yup," Hailey nodded, still a little flushed from the excitement of the race.They made their way out of the park toward the car, the night air cool and refreshing. Hailey walked beside Cassian, her hand comfortably tucked into his. Suddenly, she tugged him down, catching him by surprise, and pressed a firm, playful kiss on his cheek.Cassian chuckled, tilting his head toward her. "What was that for?"Hailey smiled innocently. "Nothing just felt like it."He shook his head, a soft smile playing on his lips as he pulled her closer, wrapping an arm around her in a side embrace. They continued walking toward the car, her small bursts of affection warming his heart.Unbeknownst to them, a car parked a little way off had been watching them closely. The window slowly rolled down, revealing Maxwell Lockhood inside. His eyes were dark, filled with growing jealousy as he watched the co
"Dessert?" Caleb asked."We'll get ice cream from the nearby parlor, it's within walking distance," Hailey suggested, and everyone agreed. After paying the bill, they headed out, walking toward the ice cream parlor."Rose, wear your jacket," Cassian exclaimed and made her wear the jacket."Park?" Hailey exclaimed, pointing toward a nearby park."Sure," Cassian replied, and the group made their way there while enjoying their ice creams.Cassian and Alex walked behind, while Caleb and Hailey were ahead of them. Hailey, grinning widely, climbed up onto a small sidewall and began walking along it."Now you can say you're taller than us," Caleb teased.Hailey stuck her tongue out at him as she finished her ice cream. Caleb held her hand lightly to keep her from losing balance.Meanwhile, behind them, Alex spoke in a low tone to Cassian. "Things are getting messier. I've got a feeling Zuri's planning something big."Cassian, k
Meanwhile, outside, Caleb turned back to face Mark and Oliver. His usual playful demeanor had hardened slightly, but he kept things casual."You two really should back off," he began, keeping his tone light. "She's not the type to entertain your kind."Mark and Oliver exchanged a glance before Mark smirked. "Come on, man, we're just having a little fun. We could show her a good time, maybe even spend the night."Oliver chuckled in agreement, making Caleb's jaw tighten. But instead of snapping, he leaned in closer, his voice dangerously calm."If you love your lives," Caleb said, his voice dropping low, "you'll step back. Because I promise, even your parents won't know where you disappeared to if you keep this up."Mark and Oliver blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting the intensity behind Caleb's words. But instead of showing fear, they forced a laugh, trying to brush it off."Alright, alright," Mark said, waving a hand dismissively. "No
They stepped into the hall and found Alex and Caleb already ready."Shall we leave?" Alex asked, his gaze landing on them."Yup!" Hailey exclaimed, her excitement palpable as they all four made their way out of the penthouse."Angry Bird, you're looking like a golden witch!" Caleb teased, a playful grin on his face.Hailey shot him a glare, tossing her hair back with a little jerk. "You're just jealous; I know my hair looks beautiful," she said, admiring her reflection in the lift's mirror, savoring her self-praise.Alex and Cassian chuckled, and Caleb stood behind her, sticking his tongue out playfully.Once exited the lift, they headed towards Hailey's car, which Lucas had already brought from Fiona's house."Yeah, beautiful dwarf," Caleb whispered again, a mischievous glint in his eyes."Hey, I'm not a dwarf! You guys are just giants!" she retorted with a mock-serious expression, glancing up at the tall frames of Cassian, Ca
Evening time:-Cassian came inside the room and found her standing in front of the dressing table and curling her hair. She was standing in a towel. "I'll take a shower," Cassian said. "Okay, I'll take out your clothes," Hailey said and Cassian went to take a shower.Hailey curled her hair and set it. In the meantime, Cassian came out while rubbing his hair with a towel. "Give me a minute," Hailey said while picking up the lipstick and coated her lips."This lipstick color is good?" she asked Cassian who was now checking his phone. He looked at her and found her looking in the mirror while pouting her lips.He smirked and came near her and turned her around. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Cassian bent a little a captured her lips in his. "Umm," she tried to push but he deepened the kiss."Cassian," she whined when he broke the kiss and she looked at the mirror. Her psychopath literary ate her entire lipstick. "Lipstick wa
"Alex, we're leaving," Cassian said into the phone before hanging up and dragging Hailey out of the café. Hailey stayed silent, noticing his tense expression.Cassian's mind was flooded with Evan's taunting words, and then Zuri's voice echoed in his head: "Do you think she'll stay with you forever?
They stepped out of the skating rink, their faces flushed from the excitement and laughter. Hailey, still giggling from her last tumble, held onto Cassian's arm for support. They walked over to the counter to return their skates."You both looked amazing," came Lucas's voice. Hailey and Ca
"Come here," Cassian called, motioning her over. Hailey glanced at him, confused, and saw him holding a red cap. With a curious frown, she approached him. They were getting ready to head out to Disneyland. Alex and Kate had business to attend, so Cassian had to take Hailey and Liam on their littl
"I was wondering, what if someday we go somewhere without a balcony? You love standing on balconies so much," Cassian teased as he broke the hug.Hailey frowned and pouted. "Are you making fun of me?" she asked.Cassian grinned and swiftly gave her a tight peck on the lips. "No," he
