Chapter 993: Intermission - Day in the life of *Haley* (3)
Everyone suddenly stopped and looked at Haley.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
This time, she wasn't able to hide it as her face was still red.
Kevin was the one that came forward to ask, "Miss, are you alright?"
Haley didn't answer at first as she took a moment to adjust herself before saying, "I'm fine. My leg just cramped a bit."
Kevin raised a brow as if he didn't believe this, but since they were in front of outsiders, he didn't question it in the end. He just gave a simple nod before taking the lead from Haley and leading the way to the back.
On the side, the baron's eyes lit up.
After all, he thought that this was a sign that he was about to succeed.
He thought that Haley was reacting like this because of him.
There was a smile that appeared on the baron's face as he watched her walking in front of him. The way that her hips swayed as she walked, he couldn't help being entranced to the point that he didn't even notice that they had arrived.
This was a room in the back of the store that was used for making deals with people, so there were two couches and a table in the room.
Once they were in the room, both Haley and the baron sat down, but there were others that were in the room as well to the baron's displeasure.
Haley didn't care about how the baron felt and just calmly asked, "Sir Baron, what is it that you have to discuss with me?"
She didn't even bother serving tea or any other pleasantries, showing that she wanted to get him out of here as soon as possible. It was clear that Haley didn't want him to remain here for a single second longer.
However, the baron didn't seem to care about any of this.
Instead, the baron turned his attention to something else.
He narrowed his eyes to look at Kevin and the other two staff members that were also in the room before saying, "Miss Haley, I thought that we would have a chance to talk in private. I never thought that you would bring all these people in with you."
Haley naturally wouldn't get in a room with this baron alone, so she just said, "They are my assistants. They are here to provide assistance if there's anything that we need, so you don't need to mind them."
The baron still looked displeased, but there was nothing that he could say since this wasn't his territory in the first place. Even if he wanted to say something, it would all depend on the owner of this place and the owner of this place had already spoken.
So instead, the baron just took a moment to calm himself before saying, "I've heard that there were some things that were about to happen, which is why all those fools are making their moves."
There was a sly look that appeared on his face that made Haley want to directly punch him in the face when she saw it, but she was able to hold herself back from doing so.
With a stiff smile, Haley said, "I have no idea what you mean."
The baron wasn't surprised to hear this, but it also confirmed that there was indeed something happening. The reason that he had said what he said before was to test Haley to see if he could get any information from her.
But it didn't give him enough information, so he wanted to keep going.
"Miss Haley, I want to say that I'm quite the connected person. If there's anyone to work with, I would be the best choice." He gave his best smile when he said this, but that just made Haley feel disgusted when she saw it.
However, she kept her calm as she said, "There's no need for that right now."
"Hmm." The baron said in a thoughtful voice before saying, "Then in the future, there's a chance to cooperate deeper?"
Haley narrowed her eyes to look at him, but she eventually gave a nod.
While she was disgusted by the person, she didn't deny the fact that he might have his uses. After all, this baron was someone that was quite connected when it came to other nobles.
The baron's eyes lit up when he heard this before he looked at Kevin and the other staff before saying, "I think that you should leave now. There's something private that I want to discuss with Miss Haley."
Kevin knitted his brows when he heard this, but he didn't get to say a thing as Haley suddenly stood up.
She didn't seem to care about the way that the baron looked, so she just simply walked towards the door and said, "I'll leave you with Kevin for now. He's my trusted assistant, so if there's anything that you want, you can talk to him about it."
The baron deeply knitted his brows when he heard this, but Haley didn't seem to care at all about this.
Instead, Kevin was the one that took the lead by sitting down where Haley had been sitting before.
When he sat down, he couldn't help feeling that the seat was a bit moist...
It was strange since Haley had been sitting here just now, so there should be no reason that it was moist like this...
When Kevin was distracted by this, the baron suddenly made his move.
He reached his hand out and grabbed Haley's wrist as he said, "I don't think we're done here. I
want to talk to you alone and no one else, so please sit back down."
Haley didn't say anything as her face suddenly turned red.
Her legs seemed to shake a bit as her face turned red like this.
She couldn't help herself as she suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, as if she was holding something back.
The baron was shocked to see this, but it didn't take long before a smile appeared on his face.
