Lahat ng Kabanata ng Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Hailey's POV Wrong So fucking wrong. So wrong that it could replace the actual definition of that word in the dictionary. Because tell me why I haven't been able to get my mind off him in thirty-two hours, five minutes and thirty seconds. It almost feels like just because I'd determined not to think of him, my brain decided that that was just what it was going to do. And seeing him walking around, making friends with colleagues and strangers so easily doesn't help it. In fact, it gives me something else to think about. And the fact that he's wearing a blue shirt that defines his muscular chest and arms doesn't help in any way. It does something to me, something that I'm not proud of. Something that the determined Hailey of yesterday isn't going to be proud of. It stirs my lady parts in so many ways. If things were different, I'd have pulled him by his collar into one of the restrooms and given him the best—Jesus Christ. Now I'm starting to think like Matt.If he were in my hea

Hailey's POV Ever since we got out of the bathroom, Levi's stuck to my side like a fucking pest. To others outside, it may look sweet, but I know he's doing it because he's jealous —wrongfully so— and doesn't want me to get the chance to talk to any guy again. And I'm not just saying this as an assumption. I'm saying it because it's happened. More than once. Every time a guy approached me, he went all macho man on him. He even managed to chase off one of my colleagues who'd just come to say hi. And if you think that was embarrassing, you should've seen the way he made me say goodbye to Cole from behind him, making sure I didn't even get a peek at the guy. I can't help but wonder where the sudden possessive streak came from. And also, how do women even find extra possessiveness attractive?Because I'm sure as hell that Levi's attitude isn't sweet. It's anything but. It's torture. And I'm sure he knows it too, and that's why he enjoys it so much. Having had enough, I decide I'm go

Levi's POV Hailey's different. I don't know what it is, or why it is, but something about her has changed since the night of the party. She’s been quiet. Skittish. Like I’m some kind of threat she needs to keep her distance from. The other day, I walked up to her, just to ask a question, and when she saw me she screamed. Actually screamed. So loud I had to cover my ears to block out the noise, and then she ran. Like I was a fucking masked serial killer or something. If I wasn't pissed by it, I'd have laughed my head off. I could push her, force her to tell me what’s going on. But with Hailey, that would only make her retreat further. That’s the last thing I want. I sigh, moving through the different hallways and making a beeline for my office. I've been busy with work since the week began, so I haven’t had the luxury of obsessing over it. But now it's almost the weekend, and that means we'll be spending more time together, which means her weird behavior is about to get a lot ha

Hailey's POVLevi's taken a lot longer than necessary, and I'm torn between waiting him out or going to find him myself. Maybe he's trying to figure out what I'd want, though that would've been a lot easier if he'd asked me first. But trying to understand Levi is a lost cause. Just when I'm making up my mind to go join him in the diner, a shadow falls over me. Thinking it's Levi, I don't bother to look up as I say, "Took you long enough. I was starting to think you'd gotten kidnapped or something." "I doubt my followers are crazy enough to do that, but thanks for the concern, sweetheart," a voice that definitely isn't Levi's replies, chuckling. I should be scared, but the familiarity in the voice pulls my gaze up—and a grin breaks across my face."Cole! What a surprise." I stand, unsure whether to hug him or shake his hand or—what?I don't know. Thankfully, he's ahead of me and pulls me into a hug before I turn the greeting into something awkward. "I've missed you, babe," he sa

Hailey's POV I left. I heard when Levi came home last night. I knew he went out to blow off steam after our argument, but I didn't expect that he'd bring someone home for the night. He couldn't even wait a day before sleeping with someone else. He'd probably been waiting all these months for that chance. Honestly, I can't blame him. Before we got together, he had women falling at his feet. Women that were more than willing to help warm his bed. I was the reason that stopped, and for something that wasn't even real. When I caught the lady sneaking out of Levi's room this morning, no one had to tell me it was time to go. I picked up the pieces of my heart, packed my bags and walked out of his house. And hopefully, his life. Thankfully, he wasn't awake. I don't think I'd have been able to face him without falling apart. He wouldn't have made it that easy to leave, too. I wonder if he woke up as she was leaving his room. If he was the one who'd asked her to sneak out early. But kno
