Chapter 118 Hailey is indeed scheming Alice looked sharply at Hailey beside the table.

11 The temperature had warmed up a little today. Hailey was wearing a blue and black coat. Her long hair was casually scattered, making her skin look fair. She had lipstick on her lips, which looked crystal dear.

Youth was her currency. Just by standing there. Hailey looked much more lively than Alice.

Seeing that Alice was looking at her, Hailey looked back at her fearlessly. Her eyes were clear, and her beautiful eyes curved slightly.

Alice was so angry that her eyes turned red. She felt that Hailey was provoking her.

However, she was Miss Gibbs. She could not do anything that made her lose her mind.

Alice took a deep breath and said to Owen with a smile, I misunderstood. Congratulations, Owen. Make up with Miss Dalton. I wish you a happy life.

Owen’s expression was indifferent. “Thank you, but call me Mr. Calhoun in the future. Although we’ve known each other for a long time, my girlfriend will be jealous if you call me that.”

Alice prided herself as a young lady from a wealthy family. It was impossible for her to call someone by their surname. However, since he had already said so much, she could not shamelessly address him so intimately. Hence, she could only smile dryly and say, “Mr. Calhoun.”

As soon as she said “Mr. Calhoun“, an immediate distance surged between them.

Alice had a feeling that she would never be able to get Owen.

She felt an unprecedented surge of jealousy. “Why is Hailey, a latecomer, able to catch up?”

She was the one who liked Owen first. She was the one who met Owen first. In the end, Hailey took the initiative.

‘If not for Hailey... If not for this bitch, Owen would definitely be mine: Alice clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms.

Hailey looked at her with a calm smile. “Miss Gibbs, do you want to drink coffee in the afternoon?”

In other words, why didn’t she leave yet?

A gentle smile appeared on Alice’s face. “No, you guys continue chatting. I have something on, so I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, Alice turned around and left the lounge.

Hailey sighed faintly. “Looks like you’ve really hurt Miss Gibbs’s heart this time.”

Owen walked over. “Hailey, there’s never been anything between us. It’s only ever been you.”

After a pause, he continued, “Even if there was, it was a long time ago. I used her to placate Grandmother. But later, when she went abroad, I pulled significant strings for her. Consider it repayment.”

“What favor?” Hailey asked curiously.

“Do you know Annie?*

Hailey narrowed her eyes slightly. “Are you talking about the world–renowned violinist, Annie?”

Chapter His Owen nodded. “Alice also studied the violin overseas. Two years after she entered school, Annie made an exception and took her in as a disciple “Did you help!”

Owen nodded.

Originally, Alice was not qualified, but Owen had worked with Annie and helped her before, so Annie agreed to his request.

“Then Alice saved your life. How are you going to repay her?”

Owen said, “If she makes a reasonable request of me, I will satisfy her needs. If it’s not reasonable, then I won’t care about this favor anymore”

“Not bad‘ Hailey raised her eyebrows slightly, Owen held her hand. “So Miss Dalton, can we eat together? Your boyfriend is starving.”

Hailey shrugged innocently, “Unfortunately, I didn’t bring any food.”

“I’ve already had Richard order takeout. It should’ve arrived by now. Let’s go to my office.” Owen pulled her away.

Outside the lounge, the two secretaries, Richard and Anna, were staring at each other.

Both of them were elites at work. They were used to being cautious and serious. After nodding at each other as a greeting, they did not communicate anymore, “Richard, has the delivery arrived?” Owen pushed open the door and asked.

Richard nodded, “Yes, Mr. Calhoun, I’ve already sent it to your office.”

“You’ve worked hard.”

“Wait a minute, this is my assistant, Anna Collins, She hasn’t had lunch either.” Hailey looked at Richard. “How many did you order?”

Richard glanced at Owen and said weakly, “Two...”

“It’s okay, Miss Dalton. I’ll go out and eat by myself,” Anna quickly said.

“It’s okay, I’ll order two more servings now. I haven’t eaten yet. Miss Collins, do you mind eating with me?” Richard looked at Anna, Anna was stunned and quickly said that she didn’t mind.

Richard heaved a sigh of relief and cursed himself for his negligence. Then, he quickly took out his phone and ordered two takeaways.

After all, Hailey brought Anna here. Hailey was still a little worried. She looked at Anna and said, “If there’s anything, you can leave first.”

Owen instructed Richard, “Take good care of Miss Collins.”

The two assistants said yes. Then, Owen left with Hailey and went to the office.

Owen’s office was very big. It had a large floor–to–ceiling window that was bright and clean.

The takeaway they ordered was not a particularly high–class meal, but two simple spaghetti dishes.

Owen raised his hand and pinched her nose. “Then I’ll punish you to stay by my side for the rest of your life?
