“No...”
“I saw it. She has your WhatsApp. You messaged her,” Hadley shot back at once. Her lips curled, and her gaze
was sharp, cutting straight through him. “Mr. Scott, you're not the kind of man who chats on Whatwith just

Hadley smirked. “Given where we stand, whoever you're with isn’t my concern. But don’t treatlike an idiot.”
Without waiting for his response, she shook off his hand and stood up.
“Hadley, don’t be mad!” Eric stood up quickly and pulled her into his arms with a firm tug. “Yes, I'm in contact

and uncover the full truth.”
The moment Hadley heard him bring it up again, she cut in with a sharp tone. “Can we talk about something

“Alright, I'll stop bringing it up,” Eric said with a small nod. “Let's just eat.”
Hadley lowered her gaze briefly and then agreed. “Fine, let's eat.” But she added right after, “Once we finish, |
