Betrayal

Robert’s POV

I was in the office when Ron told me that Ervin met up with Hailey in the shopping mall. Strangely, Ron knew it before Max.

Anyway, I went to my home at the correct time and also came to know that Hailey returned home soon after she met with him. Now, she knows that I will know if she did that on purpose. And that is not what she did, certainly.

I reached my house.

“Thanks” I replied when she handed me water.

She was happy and I knew, she didn’t want me to know about anything. But the truth is, I don’t want her to do something stupid just because she thinks that I don’t know.

“But” I interrupted her smile. “What did you and Ervin talk about?”

The tension lines on her forehead make me worried. If she didn’t do anything wrong, why is she afraid?

What is she scared of?

“Hailey…” I started speaking but she hugged me.

She was scared and I didn’t know why. But the main thing was that she wasn’t hiding and she was opening up.
