I held my breath.
In the next second, another familiar voice reached my ears, "Jacqueline, I really don't want to be here. I just want to see Rad. If you let Rad see me, I'll leave and cause no trouble."
It was Haley.
She had actually shown up! She was here for Conrad.
I had called Conrad, thinking he would get in touch with Haley. It seemed I was mistaken.
This woman really had nerve, daring to show up at the Wagner family's doorstep.
"Are you threatening me?" Jacqueline was no pushover.
"Jacqueline, not at all. I just want to see Rad," Haley's tone remained innocuous and weak.
There's a saying that looks can be deceiving, and it couldn't be more accurate.
The first time I saw Haley, I thought she looked so innocent, as if her presence made the world a cleaner place by several degrees.
However, I was slapped hard by reality.
"Conrad isn't here, as I've told you," Jacqueline's voice grew louder, agitated.
"I know he's not here," Haley's voice remained calm and measured.
Jacqueline didn't have her composure; though not exactly explosive, she couldn't tolerate any disrespect, "So what, you think I'm hiding him?"
