Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right Chapter 214
Lena was always the level-headed one, but she had a habit of avoiding things she didn't want to deal with. Sometimes, she'd make up her mind without even giving it a shot.In that way, we were different. But hey, everyone has their own way of seeing things, their own way of handling life.There's this saying—no one can really interfere in someone else's life. Even with how close Lena and I were, that still rang true.I crashed at her place for the night before finally heading home. I still hadn't seen Hayden.When I got back, my downstairs neighbor stopped me, asking if I'd gone on vacation with my "boyfriend." Apparently, neither of us had been around for a while, and that's when it hit me—Hayden hadn't come back the entire time I was gone.Even though Demi told me he was busy, I knew the truth—Hayden only stayed here because of me.When I was around, he would be home every day. But the second I wasn't? He wouldn't even bother.Well, if he wasn't coming to me, I'd go to him.I

After visiting his place, I was pretty sure Yuna had spilled everything to Hayden."If you like it there, in the future..." Hayden started, then trailed off, leaving me hanging.I gave him a look. "In the future, what?"He swallowed hard before speaking again. "In the future... we could retire there.""By myself?" I blurted out, not even thinking."I'd come with you—if you wanted me to," he said, totally straightforward.And just like that, I started pulling away again. The future? Seriously? Especially something as far off as, like, growing old together."I found a specialist for Yuna. You should get me her medical records," I said, switching the topic fast.Last night, I was silently judging Lena for dodging the truth, but wasn't I doing the exact same thing?I was burying my head in the sand too, but I had my reasons. I wanted to keep Hayden on his toes, not let him in too easily.Lena once told me that the reason Jace always brushed me off and never took me seriously was

Hayden went totally stiff in my arms. After a few seconds, he mumbled, "Are you pitying me?""I feel bad for you," I corrected.He didn't say anything, and he definitely didn't hug me back, which made things way more awkward.Right when I was about to let go, I glanced up and saw Jace standing a few feet away.Wait, he was here?And of course, Demi didn't bother giving me the heads-up.I was about to drop Hayden's hand, but instead, I squeezed it tighter. He tried to pull away, but I held on. "Don't move."He stopped. I kept holding his hand as I asked, "You're working late again tonight?"Hayden gave a quiet, "Hmm?"I stood on my tiptoes, leaning in close to his ear. "I've been craving your cooking."I heard his Adam's apple move, followed by a soft, "Yeah." A tingle shot through me.My gaze flickered over to where Jace stood.In that quick glance, I saw him—fists clenched, face shifting from pale to dark, his eyes stormy before he finally turned and walked away.I let go

Demi nodded. "Oh, yeah. My brain's basically an amusement park. Full of rides and these pretty lights."She laughed and squeezed me tighter. "And guess what? You're in there too."This girl could charm anyone.We got to the spot where the accident went down. Hayden climbed up to check out the damage, scribbling in his notebook as he went."We lost two sets of lights. Each set had twenty-two bulbs, with, like, thirteen different colors," Hayden said, scanning the broken lights before glancing at the crane off in the distance.Finally, Hayden turned to Demi. "Call your superior and get him over here. We need to figure out who's responsible for this mess and check the damages."Demi blinked in surprise. "Oh, right!" She quickly pulled out her phone and dialed Wayne.It wasn't long before Wayne showed up. When he spotted me, he froze for a second, obviously not expecting me. But after a beat, he smirked. "Rea, doing an early inspection?"His tone had a slight edge to it—he knew I w

Hayden's hand tightened around mine.I glanced up at him, and for a split second, his soft gaze met mine before he turned back to Jace. His voice, low and steady, carried a weight that couldn't be ignored. "I'm not leaving until the final inspection's done."That's just how he was. The more someone tried to push him out, the more determined he became to stay. Just like always.I braced myself for whatever Jace would throw at him next, but then Hayden's grip tightened again, and he added, "This is something I promised Kiki."The way he said "Kiki," claiming it was all for me, sent my heart racing. It didn't help that Jace's face went an alarming shade of red, and Wayne didn't look much better.The silence hung in the air so thick, it felt like no one could even breathe.I took a steadying breath and decided to cut through it, locking eyes with Jace and Wayne. "Even though I'm no longer in charge and I've left the company, there's one rule I never forgot: the company's interests co

I stared at him, my mind drifting to his dad—the Mr. Patterson I used to know when I was a kid. With the way Hayden was acting around me now, I couldn't help but blurt out, "So, Hayden, you flirting with me like this... does that mean you actually like me?"He didn't even flinch. "Why else? For fun?"Straightforward. No shame. Just total confidence."Okay, but are you hiding something from me? Like... have we known each other longer than I think?" Ever since I found out about his dad, I had this weird feeling there was more to the story.His eyes flickered, just for a second. "When you were little, I used to give you piggyback rides. And... you kissed me."Of course, he'd drop something like that, all casual. If I were still the clueless girl I used to be, I'd probably be blushing hard right now."Oh yeah?" I shot back, not missing a beat. "And where exactly did I kiss you?"Hayden stepped closer, closing the already tiny gap between us until there was almost no space left.My

Steve didn't give me a choice. I knew what that meant.I clutched my phone, glancing over at Hayden. As I walked up to him, about to speak, he beat me to it. "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."Leaving?I froze, thrown off. "Where are you going?"He kept walking. "Back."Back? Back to Chiverton?But he said he'd stay. He even rented an apartment here.Thinking about the apartment reminded me of the demolition notice and Ms. Brown's request. I hadn't even mentioned it to Hayden yet.I wanted to ask why he was suddenly leaving, but the distance between us made me hesitate. So instead, I just said, "I'll come by tomorrow night to check out the lights."Hayden looked at me. It was like his eyes were saying, 'You might have time, but I don't.'I thought he'd tell me no, but after a few seconds, he just said, "Okay."I knew he was forcing himself. He was upset, but he didn't want to make things harder for me.Once again, he was the one compromising. And that's when the guilt hi

I had to keep my cool as Tanya walked up to me, getting closer with every step."Keira," she said again when she finally stopped in front of me, tears already pooling in her eyes.I squinted a little but didn't say anything, waiting for her to get to the point. No way I was interrupting her whole emotional meltdown."Can you just stay away from Jace?" she finally asked.I raised an eyebrow. "What?""You guys are done. He's with me now, so you need to back off. I don't want you messing with his head." Her voice wobbled as she tried not to cry.Wow, seriously?I laughed. So, she thought it was my fault Jace came down on her at work?"So, what? You can't afford the damages and want me to help cover it?" I taunted.Tanya's face went pale. She'd opened up about her money problems before, thinking I was making fun of her for being broke. But I wasn't laughing at her situation—I was laughing at her nerves."I couldn't afford it before, but things are different now," she shot back, c
