Perhaps Halsey and Dwight s story had already ended three years ago
But fate had a strange way of working itself out no matter where Halsey went she seemed to run into him She came here to eat and there was Shaun standing right in front of her
Hearing others compliment how well she and Calvin looked together Halsey offered a polite smile saying nothing more
But Shaun saw her smile through a different lens Sometimes silence was taken as consent and with Halsey and Calvin both single anything was possible
Calvin chuckled Come on Mr Rogers Don t tease me and Halsey I m fine with it but Halsey might be shy
At that the other executives gave sly smiles
Didn t know you were so protective
Professor Johnson you seem very close with Ms Halsey
Alright enough joking around one executive said Are you two here for lunch
Calvin nodded Yes Mrs Lincoln and my mother are here too
He glanced toward the front Shaun looked up and saw a small group of elegant ladies chatting and laughing Halsey smother Patricia Calvin smother Samantha Johnson and several wealthy socialites from the upperclass
Shaun quietly withdrew his gaze
Suddenly,oneoftheexecutivesspokeup,”Bytheway,Mr.Lane,Isawyou lookingatMs.Halseywhenwecamein.Howdoyouknowher?”
Shaun turned his gaze to Halsey ignoring the question Instead he asked her Ms Halsey do we know each other
He didn t answer the question directed at him he threw it back to her instead
Halsey slashes fluttered before she answered the executive Yes we know each other He once did me a favor and I m very grateful

Shaun scold clear eyes darkened slightly with a hint of chill
I see someone said What a coincidence Mr Lane actually helped Ms Halsey
