Chapter 117

Chapter 117 Chapter 117 “Richard, I can’t live in this world for no reason,” Owen said calmly.

Richard pursed his lips, lowered his head, and sighed.

The test results could only be obtained after three days, so Owen left the hospital first.

62%1 +50 At noon, Hailey was so busy that she forgot to deliver food to Owen. By the time she checked the clock at 1 PM, her eyes widened in panic as she fumbled for her phone to call him.

The phone rang three times before it was picked up.

“Miss–Dalton, didn’t you say that you’re no longer close to Owen?”

Hailey frowned. “Alice?”

Alice said, “It’s me. Why? Is it strange for me to pick up the phone?” She was smug on the other end. “I’m officially with Owen.

Please don’t harass my boyfriend anymore.”

Hailey laughed in anger. “Do you dare to say that to Owen?”

“Of course I dare. Why wouldn’t I dare? You, on the other hand, are his ex–girlfriend. Can you be more shameless? Do you even realize how much Owen despises you?” Alice said righteously, as if she was his legitimate wife.

Hailey sighed faintly. “Where is Owen?”

“Owen is still in a meeting. Why are you looking for him? If it’s business, you can look for someone else. Calhoun Group isn’t so short–staffed that Owen’s the only one who can help.”

Hailey could not be bothered to talk to her anymore and hung up.

Anna happened to come in to deliver water. Seeing that Hailey’s expression was not right, she asked.

Hailey stood up. “It’s fine. I’m going out for a while.”

Anna was a little worried and followed her. “Miss Dalton, if you want to go out, I can drive you.”

Hailey thought for a moment and nodded.

Anna drove Hailey to the entrance of the Calhoun Group.

Because Hailey didn’t have an appointment, she couldn’t go up for the time being, so she asked the receptionist to call Richard.

Richard said, “Take Miss Dalton to the lounge first. Ensure she receives proper attention.”

When the receptionist heard this, she knew that Hailey was an important person. She immediately took it seriously and brought Hailey and Anna to the rest area.

Richard was waiting outside the conference room. It had only been half an hour, and it would probably take at least another half an hour to end.

‘Mr. Calhoun has just reconciled with Miss Dalton. If anything happens at this juncture, then...! Richard thought for a moment and walked in.

He whispered into Owen’s ear.

1/3 262%1 +50 Chapter 117 A person from the Finance Department were making a summary report.

Owen suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.

Everyone was a little surprised. Owen was a very strict leader. This was the first time such a situation had happened during a meeting.

“Everyone, take a break. The meeting will continue later.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.

Owen got up and left the conference room.

“You said Alice is here too? Hailey met her? Owen walked toward the office with his long legs.

Richard said, “I don’t think so for the time being. I asked the receptionist to bring Miss Dalton to the lounge. If nothing goes wrong. Miss Gibbs should be in your office. No one dares to stop her.”

Owen’s expression was cold. “Richard, I didn’t give you such a high salary for nothing. Can anyone enter my office?”

Richard lowered his head. His heart was filled with indescribable bitterness, and his forehead was drenched in cold sweat. I’m sorry, Mr. Calhoun.”

“I’m going to see Hailey. You deal with Alice.” With that, Owen entered the elevator.

Richard could only say yes bitterly before turning around and going to Owen’s office.

Hailey waited for almost ten minutes before Owen arrived at the lounge.

Hailey was on the phone. Recently, Hailey was also very busy. As long as she was not in the company, she was basically on the phone.

Seeing Owen coming over, Hailey hung up the phone first and teased with a faint smile, “Busy man.”

Owen closed the door and walked straight to her. He pulled Hailey up from the stool, hugged her waist, and kissed her. “Why didn’t you call me?”

Hailey raised her eyebrows. “I did. It’s just that someone was too busy and didn’t bring his phone for the meeting.”

Only then did Owen touch his pocket. Indeed, he did not bring his phone.

He remembered that his phone had run out of battery before the meeting. He had asked Richard to charge it.

“It’s my fault.” He took the initiative to admit his mistake. “My phone ran out of battery before the meeting, so I took it to charge.”

“Your phone was dead, but someone could answer your call.” Hailey handed the phone to him. The call record at the top showed that it was connected.

Owen frowned. “Alice took it?”

Hailey nodded.

“I was negligent.” Owen sighed slightly. “What did she say to you?”

“She said that she’s dating you and told me not to disturb you. Mr. Calhoun, do you want to explain?” Hailey leaned against the table and looked up at him with a faint smile.

Owen hugged Hailey’s slender waist and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. “Miss Dalton, don’t you understand my 2/3 14:39 Fri, 4 Apr Chapter 117 feelings?”

“Owen! What are you...” At the door, someone suddenly pushed it open.

Alice stood at the door. When she saw the two being intimate, her face turned pale.

Richard followed behind with an apologetic and terrified expression. “Mr. Calhoun, I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop Miss Gibbs.”

“Get out.”

Richard nodded and went out, closing the door behind him.

Hailey crawled out of Owen’s arms and sat on the chair. She supported her chin and looked at Alice calmly.

Alice’s expression was very gloomy. Her eyes quickly turned red as she asked pitifully, “Owen, what’s going on?”

“What’s the matter? Miss Gibbs. For work matters, contact my secretary or the appropriate department. This is my personal time.

I’m unavailable.” Owen looked at her coldly.

The words “Miss Gibbs” made Alice cry.

“Owen...” Alice cried. “How could you do this to me...”

Owen’s expression was calm and cold. “Miss Gibbs, I don’t know what I did wrong previously to cause you to misunderstand. If it’s my fault, I’ll apologize to you here.”

Alice opened her mouth, but she was suddenly speechless.

The reason why she went to the hospital last time was actually because she said that she was not feeling well. That was why she pleaded Owen to send her there. It was not Owen who took the initiative to send her there. Others did not know about this, but Owen knew very clearly.

Moreover, in private, everything Owen did to her was out of politeness and gentlemanliness. He had never gone overboard.

They were not even friends. However, Alice believed that as long as Owen and Hailey broke up, she would be the only girl who could be by his side. Therefore, she felt that it was only a matter of time before she got together with Owen.

However, she never expected Owen to reconcile with Hailey so quickly!
