SECRET MEETING

Hadley did not have a second thought when I asked her to meet me. I wanted my meeting with Hadley to be a secret to everyone, so I chose a restaurant where it can give us privacy.

I was already in the restaurant's private room when Hadley texted me that she was there. A few moments later, I saw Hadley enter the room.

"Hi, Hadley! I'm glad that you agree to meet me." I greeted Hadley.

I assist Hadley to her seat then returned to my seat. I asked the waiter to get our orders.

"You know that I can't say no when it comes to you," Hadley said in a seductive tone.

I just smile at her. When our orders came, Hadley and I started to eat. It was so quiet. No one is taking the initiative to start a conversation.

I cleared my throat. "I head you offer Ellie a big project?" I decided to break the silence.

She laughed. "Well, it's obvious that she already went to you. What did she say to you? I'm sure she already badmouthed me to you."
