Halsey remembered how three years ago Warren had liked her a lot In fact everyone around Dwight liked her
But now three years later Warren was full of hostility toward her And there was someone new Chelsea someone Halsey had never met before
Chelsea seemed to care for Shaun deeply It was clear she looked after his daily life
Halsey curled her fingers nervously unsure of what to say
Warren glanced at Shaun Let s go Didn t we agree to have fondue together tonight Chelsea s already prepared all the ingredients We re starving We were just waiting for you to join us
Chelsea looked over at Halsey Ms Halsey do you want to join us
Before Halsey could answer Warren cut in She probably doesn t have time Let s go Shaun
Warren pulled Shaun away
Shaun looked at Halsey I ll see you home first
Halsey knew Warren didn t want her there Since they were hungry and waiting for Shaun she quickly waved her hand It s okay I have a driver You guys go ahead
WarrentuggedShaun.”Let’s go.Ms.Halseydoesn’tneedyoutotakecareofher.”
Shaun nodded and turned to Halsey Alright I ll see you soon
Halsey forced a small smile Okay
Shaun Warren and Chelsea got into a luxury car and drove off
Halsey stood there alone watching the sleek car disappear into the distance

She had no idea what had happened to Dwight during that time or what had happened to his face She didn t know what had happened between him and the woman he married three years ago nor who Chelsea was
She felt like she was miles away from him
Halsey had imagined what their reunion might be like countless times Maybe he would explain everything or want to reconcile but he hadn t said a word
Just then a familiar voice came from behind her Shaun s already gone Why are you still staring
Halsey turned around to see Gilbert
He justwouldn’tleaveheralone.
Halsey didn’twanttoengagehim.”Mr.PaynehasalreadyagreednottoendthepartnershipwithLincolnEnterprise.Yourschemeswon’twork.”
Gilbertsneered.”Youthinkyou’vegotShaun wrappedaroundyourfinger?Letmetellyou–Chelsea,thewomanearlier,ishisgirlfriend.”

Gilbert stepped closer I heard she s been with Shaun for three years They re always together and their relationship is rock solid You should just give upon him
Halsey s heart sank into an endless pit

So all this time someone else had been by his side
She had always believed that Dwight was waiting just like her After all she had only him
But three years ago and even now he had someone else
It turned out that the only one standing still and waiting was herself
Halsey s fair eyes grew red a wave of helplessness washed over her almost bringing tears to the surface
Gilbert looked at her and asked Are you really that broken up
Halsey lifted her gaze to him You ve already sent people to investigate Shaun Don t you know who he really is
Gilbert clenchedhisfist.
Of course he knew exactly who Shaun was
He had his men dig into Shaun s background and they came back with the truth Shaun was actually Dwight
That Dwight sure was lucky Years ago Gilbert had someone throw acid on him and throw his car over a cliff but he didn t die
And now he had returned reborn as Shaun Lane
