Semua Bab You've Got the Wrong Woman, Mr. Lance: Bab 1051 - Bab 1060

However, Simon was already on his feet. He nudged Haily toward the door, making it clear it was time for her to leave.Right then, Hailey spotted a pair of women's combat boots on the shoe rack by the door. She hadn't noticed them earlier because all the shoes were black. But these were unmistakably smaller. They definitely belonged to a woman. The sight of the boots sent her thoughts racing.On the other hand, Simon's pupils constricted sharply as he noticed them too. Was Laura still here?Without a second thought, he opened the door and said, "Ms. Brooks, I'm afraid I can't see you out."Hailey had been ready to call him out right there, but doubts crept in. What if she had misunderstood, or what if she couldn't find any solid proof?Simon could easily talk his way out of it. After all, he was a lawyer and had a way with words. In the end, she would become the unreasonable one. With that in mind, Hailey had no intention of leaving. She was determined to catch this shamel

Laura's formal and indifferent demeanor sparked an inexplicable irritation in Simon, or maybe he'd had a bit too much to drink that night. But either way, he could feel a tension simmering inside him. He stared at Laura as she spoke, watching the way her lips moved. Suddenly, a surge of desire flared within him.Simon's gaze grew hazy, and he fought back the urge to pin her down before asking lightly, "Why are you still here so late? Were you waiting for me?""Your iron broke, and I spent ages fixing it!" Laura immediately shot back. "Don't worry. I only see you as my employer now. I'll do my job, take my pay, and that's it. I have no other intentions, least of all waiting for you to return!"Simon chuckled. A hint of intoxication softened his features, giving him an unexpectedly cool and gentle air.Then, he raised a hand. His slender fingers brushed over her flushed cheek as he asked, "Only see me as your employer, huh?"A pang of unease shot through Laura. She knew all too we

Simon put on a serious expression and teased Laura further. "You really don't remember? Hugging and kissing me like that?"His words painted such a vivid picture that she was mortified at the thought of doing something so embarrassing in her sleep. Laura's cheeks turned red as she retorted, "Even if I was sleepwalking, why didn't you wake me up?"She then glanced down to check her clothes. Everything was fine, untouched.With a quiet sigh of relief, she headed to the bathroom to freshen up, grabbing a disposable toothbrush and toothpaste along the way with practiced ease.Laura quickly washed up and was ready to leave Simon's place. It was as though she were avoiding the plague.At that moment, Simon was reading a financial newspaper at the dining table.As Laura passed through the living room, she didn't even spare him a glance. She had hidden in his closet the night before to avoid his fiancée. Now, his place felt suffocating with the weight of her humiliation, and all she

That morning, Sophia paced anxiously around the house, waiting for Austin's news. She was determined to find out which bitch had the audacity to try and steal Simon away from Hailey.Suddenly, a household staff hurried over, visibly shaken. "Mrs. Brooks, something terrible happened! A-Austin…"Sophia's heart faltered as she sprang to her feet. "Out with it! What happened to Austin?"The staff looked as if she had just seen something terrible. She pointed toward the doorway and replied, "You'd better come see for yourself."A sense of dread gripped Sophia as she rushed outside, where she found Austin sprawled at the entrance, bloodied and bruised. Worried that neighbors or passersby might see, she quickly ordered the household staff to bring him inside.Once they had him settled, Sophia called for a private doctor to tend to Austin's injuries. At the same time, she anxiously asked, "Who did this to you? Don't they know this is a crime?"And what about Simon? Did you get anythi

Simon knew Jennifer wasn't there for anything good. Without saying a word, he shot her and Laura a cold glance before getting into his vehicle.As his car vanished down the street, Laura finally let out a sigh of relief.Jennifer, however, was still fuming with anger. "Did he mess with you again? Laurie, be honest. What's going on between you two?""It's over. He came by asking me to do his housework, but I told him no," Laura replied lightly."You've finally broken up with him?" Jennifer exhaled, relief flooding her voice. "That's great! Laurie, you can't let him keep dragging you down. You're not together anymore, and he has the nerve to ask you to do his chores? Is he out of his mind?"But Laura didn't want to keep talking about Simon. If they went on about him, she'd just get more upset. So, she changed the topic. "Anyway, what brings you here today?" she asked. "I found a lawyer for Mr. Scott!" Jennifer exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over. "It's one of my patients. He
