Chapter 866
After lunch , Shaun had to head off to another meeting . He was always busy .
“ You should go , ” Halsey told him . “ I’ll stay here and work on my designs . ”
Shaun looked at her and said , “ I’d better not come back and find you gone again . You’re not planning to sneak off , are you ? ” Halsey leaned in and gave him a quick kiss . “ Relax . I’m staying right here . I’m not going anywhere . ”
“ Promise me . I want to see you still here when I get back . ”
“ Promise . ”
Only after hearing her say that did Shaun finally leave .
Halsey sat down and focused on her work . Not long after , someone walked into the office . She looked up with a smile .
“ Why are you back already- ”
Her words stopped mid – sentence . It wasn’t Shaun . It was Warren .
“ Hey , Warren , ” Halsey said , surprised .
Warren stepped inside . “ Hey . Who else were you expecting ? Shaun ? ”
Halsey could feel the tension in his tone . He didn’t like her , and she knew that . “ Shaun’s in a meeting . Are you here to see him ?
“ No. I’m here to see you . ”
“ Me ? ”
Warren crossed his arms . “ Word’s already gotten around that Shaun carried you into the office today . I knew it . After three years , he still ended up falling back into your hands . I really don’t get it . What kind of spell did you put on him to make him so into you ? ”
Halsey frowned . “ I remember we used to be friends . What happened ? Why are you acting like this now ? ”
Warren gave a dry laugh . “ Friends ? That’s funny . Someone like me , being friends with a rich girl like you ? Come on . You and Gilbert are from the same world . Shaun’s just your side piece , right ? ”
“ How could you say that ? I love Shaun . I— ”
“ You love him ? ” Warren cut her off , voice rising . “ Then why did you betray him ? Why did you sleep with Gilbert ?! ”
His words hit her hard . Her long lashes trembled . “ What are you even talking about ? When did I ever betray Shaun ? When have l ever slept with Gilbert ? ”
“ You’re seriously going to deny it ? ” Warren said sharply . “ You only came back because Shaun suddenly turned into some big shot in the business world ! Don’t act like you’re all innocent . You’re the most calculating one here . ”
Faced with his accusations , Halsey felt completely lost . “ I- ”
Just then , a deep , low voice cut in , cool and full of displeasure .
“ Warren , what are you doing here ? ”
Halsey looked up .
Shaun was back . He stood tall in the doorway , his cold eyes fixed on Warren with clear irritation .
“ I was just talking to Ms. Halsey , ” Warren said .
Shaun walked in and stood beside Halsey . “ Are you done ? Let the past stay in the past . ”
