Warrenfellsilent.
It was true Halsey had helped Madeline out a lot Without her Madeline wouldn t be who she was today
Shaun gently gripped Madeline s shoulders You misunderstood Chelsea and I are just friends
Madeline looked at him eyes searching Really You don t have feelings for Chelsea
Shaun’sanswerwas immediate,withouthesitation.”Idon’t.Ionlyseeherasafriend.”
Chelsea s hands clenched into fists at her sides She had known all along that Shaun didn t feel the same way about her In all these years he had never given her any hope But she loved him anyway helplessly hopelessly
Madeline pressed on If you don t like her then why do you let Halsey suffer because of her
A shadow flickered in Shaun s eyes It wasn t that he was causing Halsey pain she was the one hurting him
I know you care deeply about Halsey but she doesn t love me anymore She won t be your future sister in law he replied
Who says she doesn t love you She came looking for you today
What?
Shaun blinked in surprise She did
Madeline nodded Yes but she never got to meet you Chelsea and that receptionist blocked her at the door and humiliated her
”
Shaun’sfacedarkened.Hestared atChelsea.”Isthattrue?DidHalseycomeby?Whydidn’tanyonetellme?”
Chelsea s face paled Halsey did come by but you were in a meeting so I didn t let her in
Who says you get to decide whether I see Halsey or not Shaun s voice was icy
Chelsea saw the cold warning in his eyes and shrank back fingers curling nervously
Shaun turned to his secretary Where s my phone
The secretary quickly handed it over Here you go sir
Shaun unlocked it and saw several missed calls from Halsey He had been in that meeting and his phone wasn t with him so he hadn t answered
At that moment the secretary spoke up again Mr Lane I heard Lincoln Enterprise is having some trouble Ms Mall in came looking for you probably to ask for your help
Madeline’svoicegrew urgent.
