Hailey
I was on my way to the conference. I need to clear my mind and just think about what I have to do now.
I reached the building and went inside. I took a deep breath and replayed the speech in my mind to make sure I remembered everything.
I was welcomed politely and taken to a room. There was a big screen and several journalists.
“Good to see you, Mrs. Anderson. May we start in five minutes?” one of them asked me.
“Okay”He smiled warmly at me and went to talk with other people. I just stayed. Someone walked up to me and asked me to take a seat, almost in front of the big screen.
I sat down and soon a man who seemed to be a boss walked in and sat beside me. He looked at me. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hailey Anderson. We hope to see Anderson Corporation reach more heights”
I nodded and smiled, not knowing how to react. I didn’t even know his name, so I
AlexI was blank when I heard her speech. She… uh… well. I don’t even know how to react. Summer was standing right next to me, with her face paled.“She closed her eyes?” she asked me. “Who the hell told her to do that?”“Come on, we have to be with her” I got up. “I am sure she needs us”“Okay” she nodded and went to her room. I was in deep thoughts. Robert, you crossed the line this time. You have no right to humiliate my sister.Summer came down and we went to our car and I sat in the driver’s seat.“You think Robert did this? uh… tell her to do that?”I looked forward and started driving. “Let’s ask him”She sighed. “I am feeling so bad for her… she must be so… uh, sad?”“I know. And I am sure Robert must be happy”She looked at me. &ldquo
HaileyI went inside the door and slowly closed it behind me. I looked at him. He was sitting with his head facing down. Maybe he hasn’t noticed me.“Robert” I whispered and he looked at me.“Hailey…”I went to him. “Why did you do this? Why?”“I…” he sighed and sniffed. He stayed silent for a few moments.“You don’t even have a reason or an explanation…” I whispered. “I just wanted to hear it. If you had any, because most people don’t. But turns out you don’t even have one”He just looked down. “You humiliated me in front of everyone, Robert! You taught me that!” I was almost yelling.“I am sorry…”“Sorry! Wow!” I laughed, ironically. “Will this sorry change anything?”“What can I do…” he sighed. “You
HaileyI was at Alex’s house. They were preparing something to feed me because I haven’t eaten anything from... much time.I was least worried about eating. I just wanted to have some sleep. Yeah, I just slept, but it doesn't matter.They said that I will die of hunger if I don’t eat now. But that’s crazy because I just ate yesterday…Summer brought some dishes and kept it on the table, followed by Alex, they kept it all on the table in front on my couch. “Eat now”I sighed and started eating slowly. Suddenly, I felt like I really needed to eat something. My stomach made noises and I ate most of the food within a few minutes.I got up and kept the utensils in the kitchen. Summer smiled at me. “Are you feeling better?”“Yep”“Good. Now do whatever you want, okay?”“Yeah!”I went back to the living room. I h
HaileyI was driving fast and soon reached the bar. I was nervous, but right now, it was not the time to be nervous or afraid. He might be so drunk.I went to the entrance.“Ma’am, do you have the VIP pass?” the doorman asked me. I was enraged. They really know me but are trying to show me that I am nothing.“I am Mr. Anderson’s wife. Robert is inside, I have to go”“Sorry for the trouble ma’am, but because you have no pass, you can’t--”“How much do you want?”“Huh?”“How much money do you want?”“$10,000”“Fine. Show me your QR code”He gave me his phone and I paid him instantly. He let me go inside immediately. I know how cheap these people are. They can be bought with just a little money.I went inside and started searching for him restlessly. Soon I fou
HaileyI got off him and sat beside him. “Don’t leave now… okay?” he asked.“I won't,” I smiled. “But to keep this secret… I have to act like I still…”“Hate me?”“No! I never hated you! I mean, I have to act like I don’t wanna stay with you”“It will be hard,” he looked to the other side. “Really hard staying away”“I know…” I sighed. “But isn’t it better that we have solved our misunderstanding?”“Of course” he looked into my eyes. “You know, I would have told you if I was sober too. Because I couldn’t keep it in”I hugged him. “It is gonna be okay”I had a lot of questions inside me but was hesitant in asking them. I wanted to spend time with him without any troubles but it seemed like we had to fight a lot of peop
HaileyAfter what happened, Alex hasn’t spoken a word to me. I wondered if he was still angry, or just didn’t have anything to say, but I couldn't do anything.It was 6 in the morning and I just didn’t want the day to start. From now, I will have to go to the company to manage the papers and other things.Time seems to pass by quickly now. It was like only a minute before it turned to 6:30 and only a few minutes till it was 7:30.I could hear voices from downstairs. I finally woke up and after getting fresh, went downstairs.I looked at Alex and his tensed face. I didn’t speak a word because I didn’t wanna get scolded. I saw Summer coming and kept the lunch on the table in front of our couches.Then she went to her room.“Has she eaten?” I asked him finally.“Why should I care?” His answer was scary, and then he picked up his plate and started eati
Robert I was glad that I could finally tell the truth to her. I knew that I had to rectify what John did, so I went to the company before she could come. Everyone still treated me the same. They wished me, and some even called me boss. I asked them to call Hailey the boss now, but it seemed like they took her too lightly. I will slowly change this. Finally, I saw Hailey entering the company. She seemed nervous. “Don’t you need an assistant?” I asked her. She smiled, but was more nervous. “Let’s talk inside,” I said. She nodded slowly and then we went into her cabin. “You? And assistant?” her eyes were building out in shock. “no-no, that is bad”“It is not. I can assist my wife” “No you can't,” her voice was bold. I chuckled and went to her. I kept my hand on her cheeks. “Do you want me to beg to be your assistant?” “Robert!” She was embarrassed. “What’s wrong with yo
Hailey I was beside them and listening to their conversation. I couldn’t believe what Alex was saying! “What? We did it, Alex. I know--”“You are saying I am lying?” He went near her and looked at her with anger. “First, you get pregnant without any contact! Do you know what that means!” She looked scared and hurt. “Do you mean I cheated!?” “Yes! You did and you are what you always have been! A prostitute!” She looked hurt and almost gasped. She couldn’t stop her tears and nodded. “Fine, I knew this. Sorry, will never disturb you again” She started going out and I followed her. “Hey, hey--” But she just ran outside and didn’t listen to me at all. I went behind her, but she took a cab and left. I was really mad at him. I believe her. She could never do such a thing. I know that she is right, and I will fight for her. “Why did you do that?” I asked him, almost with a disgusted face. I would dis
