"Why are you so late today?" Christina looked at Hayden curiously.
"I ran into someone along the way and chatted a bit." Not wanting Christina to worry, Hayden made up an excuse.
"Let's hurry. We still need to wait for a response from the Public Affairs Department today!" She grabbed Hayden's hand and pulled him along.
They quickly walked ahead, talking and laughing along the way. They avoided taking the cab and bought some breakfast along the way, eating and chatting as they walked.
It seemed like there was always something to talk about. The atmosphere around them was incredibly sweet.
"Why does it look like Hayden and that young lady are so close?" Charlotte frowned, feeling somewhat surprised.
"I don't know, but it's not a good thing. I heard that she has something to do with Lily. I think she might be a spy Lily planted by Hayden's side," Julia said in a worrying tone and sighed.
"I've heard the same thing. She doesn't seem easy to deal with! What if the family uses her to cause trouble in Hayden's company? That would be bad! It's difficult to guard against someone close." Anna sighed heavily, looking worried.
The trio secretly hid in the shadows, watching Hayden and Christina the entire time. Their expressions were filled with concern and helplessness.
Soon, Hayden and Christina finally arrived at the company.
Just as they were about to enter the building, a car sped toward them. The car was moving really fast, almost as if it was trying to crash into Hayden and Christina.
Seeing that, Hayden quickly grabbed Christina's hand and pulled her behind him, shielding her.
"This is none of your business. Are you a stalker or something? Why can't you just stay away from me?"
Hayden was extremely irritated, his temper flaring. He really had to give it to them. First, it was Charlotte and the two sisters, and now Lily and Morgan. Why wouldn't these people just leave him alone?
"You better watch that mouth of yours. We're here this time to tell you something. If you don't watch your behavior, don't blame me if I get rough with you! By then, no matter how capable you are, you'll have to lie down and take it from me!" Lily scolded angrily while pointing at Hayden.
She was there on the Sterling family's orders, and she could not with someone like Hayden.
"You're going to get rough? What can you do?" Hayden mocked, raising an eyebrow.
