But why wouldn't she open the door for the maids? Was she even in the house? Was Kendrick sure if she wasn't around? Or did he know she was around? The maids' whispers continued. Their attentions were still on watering the plants. They discussed how the Butler had gone up countless times to inquire about what was wrong with her. They'd also spoken about how they would stand in front of her door for a long time, knocking. But she wouldn't open the door. Then one of the maids said, "She wouldn't open the door for anyone. Even Master. He would knock and speak her name, she wouldn't open still." "She does open for Master sometimes," another maid countered. "When I went to clean that area, I've seen her open the door for Master." Hailey covered her mouth and stifled her gasp. Her thoughts. No— her instincts were right. Kendrick had really been visiting Sharon's room. And what the hell was wrong with that girl? What did she have going on with Kendrick? It wasn't an assumption anymore if

She found him staring at her, and his expression was indescribable.Hailey tried to remain as calm as she could. Was it even her business to ask what was going on? She was still bewildered at Sharon's words and behavior. And the fact that Kendrick was staring at her like this, she didn't want to appear as if she cared.She had never seen Kendrick look speechless. Right now, he looked as if he had lost his tongue. And the silence was killing her. Agitated, she turned back and intended to hurry to the bedroom. His voice stopped her that instant and he caught up to her. "Hailey." Kendrick blocked her path and stared down at her."You're supposed to be asleep.""And you're supposed to be in your office?" Hailey raised a brow. Was that what he needed to tell her now? Didn't it matter to him that she needed an explanation?Gosh! What was she thinking? However, it wasn't even a question if he had been home all along and made the Butler lie to her. How could he stay late at work? That w

If Hailey wasn't used to Kara going erratic like this before her birthday, she would have laughed at why she was this anxious about a birthday celebration. But she knew well the reason why Kara always acted like this. It was something even she wouldn't ever dream of handling."How about this? After some hours, let's call it a day. We'll go shopping together and I'll help you choose the best decorations.""You're joking!" Kara's eyes lit up as she said that. "Of course, not." Hailey smiled at her. She would be more than willing to accompany Kara. It had also been long since she went shopping. She couldn't wait to—"Will your husband allow that?" Kara knitted her brows. And Hailey's face fell hearing that.She had almost forgotten about Kendrick and his stupid security. Would he let her go shopping? Her heart sank at the thought of that. It wasn't even a question. But seeing her friend's pitiful state, Hailey didn't have the heart to dampen her hopes."It's okay, Hailey. You don't

Cassie removed her sunglasses to take a proper look at Hailey. Her face was painted with astonishment and Hailey's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "I knew I wasn't mistaken." Cassie snapped out of her reverie. "How could I have ever imagined seeing you in this kind of place?" She spoke half to herself while her eyes went from Hailey's face to her stomach. Hailey was at loss for words because she didn't really know what to say. Well, she wouldn't be surprised if she bumped into anyone she knew in such a crowded place. Anyone but Rob's sister who was also from another city. "Well, it's a small world after all." She chortled while her hand subconsciously went to her stomach to shield it from the girl's intense look."Yeah." Cassie gave a slow nod. "So the rumor is true," she mumbled to herself. Despite Hailey's attempt to shield her stomach, Cassie did not take her eyes off. It wasn't that Hailey was ashamed to let her know of her pregnancy, but she was just uncomfortable under the

However, Hailey's hope was far-fetched. When she returned from the kitchen with the utensils in her hand, Kara's conversation had gone haywire and she had never seen Rick looking more awkward than he was at the moment. "Do you think it is also my fault?" Kara was speaking to the guard in a low tone and she sniffed non-stop. "I just wanted them to wait a bit more. I haven't fulfilled her wish yet. Do you think I'm being weird? Doesn't everyone have ambition?" Hailey halted in her footsteps and narrowed her eyes. Why was Kara telling Rick about her past and her ex- boyfriends?Then her eyes darted to Kara's side and they landed on the beer bottle. "Rick! Shit! Don't let her drink." Hailey cursed out loud and hurried to grab the bottle. She could deal with an emotional Kara but not a drunk one. Not especially on this day, her birthday. Rick looked confused at Hailey's outburst. And he gave Kara a blank look. As if he didn't understand a word she said. "Forgive me, Madam. Ma'am appea
