Hailey saw Mark, who had been sitting on the sofa obediently, immediate run to Edward. Edward then put a bowl of dog foot beside its mouth.
“Bark… Bark…” Mark shook its tail toward Edward to show its gratefulness.
“Ur, I have a question. You just called it Jill?” Hailey was shocked by the name. Edward named the dog another name! And they seemed to be quite familiar with each other!
“Yes. What’s the problem? Did you name it another name?” Edward replied with a leisure tone as he glanced at her casually.
“…Ur, no!” Hailey took the cup on the table and poured the tea into her mouth one after another.
What the hell? I am very unhappy with the name of Jill! This is my pet and I named it Mark! I’ve been always calling it Mark. How could he name it another name! Hailey thought. However, she could not share her thought with him.
She felt so bad but she could not tell anything to him.
Hailey then took a look at the dog and the man on the sofa. Somehow, she felt that this was really a lovely picture.
The tiny and cute Mark seemed to be more arrogant when it was sitting next to the handsome Edward.
One took on the color of one’s company. That was true.
“So, Edward, you like it, right? That’s why you saved it from Sully and took it back here,” Hailey said, her voice uncertain.
“Yes.”
“Oh, I see.”
The space then fell silent. Hailey took the cup and took a sip of the tea again. “Edward, here is the thing. I know that your entertainment company is recruiting an assistant. You know, I just took the examination and I am very free these days. Could you please do me this favor and let me work as an intern there?”
The corners of Edward’s mouth curved upwards. He refused and said, “No.”
“Fine. I gotta go now.” Hailey stood up, ready to leave after she knew his attitude. But it did not matter. She would anyway apply for the position. The only drawback would be that she had to go through many rounds of interviews. But that would be not an obstacle for her.
Although she was desperate to take revenge, she knew that she had to do it step by step. Being impatient would do no good.
She walked outwards for a few steps before Mark ran to her. It bit the corner of her pajama, stopping her from leaving. The dog stared at her, reluctant to let her go.
Hailey felt so sorry. How she wished she could take it away.
“Are you even not trying to insist a bit now that you want to do it?” Edward teased at that point in time. The taunt in his voice irritated Hailey to some degree.
She turned around and glared at Edward who was sitting on the sofa elegantly. “If you don’t do me this favor, I can apply for it myself. Everyone says that you are a smart man who can recognize the potential. It seems that you are not as smart as they say.”
The moment Hailey finished her words, the atmosphere grew tense at once.
There was a hint of seriousness flashing through Edward’s eyes. Was this young lady questioning his ability?
That was ridiculous!
From where did she gain such courage and power to say words like that?
Standing beneath the chandelier, Hailey looked like an angel. Her fair skin on the face was reflecting soft milky light. There was anger yet arrogance and stubbornness in her pretty eyes.
Edward felt a little bit dazed. It seemed that this young lady standing in front of him was the same woman he had in his heart. Suddenly, he felt his heart prickle badly. It hurt so much.
Soon, he recovered from the surprise. The next second, he walked to Hailey and stopped beside her. Before Hailey would even make any response, he stretched his hands with one holding the back of her head and the other raising her chin.
Danger and tenderness mixed in his eyes. He stared at her carefully as if he was going to see through her. “Why do you want to do this job? I can support you financially anyway.”
Hailey became nervous due to his sudden intimate behavior. “What do you want?”
Edward lifted the corners of his lips and said in a sexy tone, “I want to see through you and know what you are thinking.”
Hailey was stunned a bit. Immediately, a smile spread on her face. “I’m going to be an adult soon. I just want to be a little bit independent,” she said with her smiling face as she looked at him into his eyes.
Unexpectedly, her reply made Edward react strangely. He opened his eyes wide. There seemed to be a hint of admiration in his eyes.
What is he thinking about? Why is he reacting so abnormally? Hailey pondered anxiously.
She did not ask further because she was afraid to mention the topic he did not want to talk about.
When she was lost in her mind, Edward suddenly reached out and touched her head. Immediately, Hailey felt that an electric current ran through her body. She could not help screaming with a low voice, “Oh…”
Edward fixed his passionate eyes on her. Hailey wrinkled her eyebrows a bit. She was not quite comfortable facing such a strange Edward.
She turned around and was about to leave. But unexpectedly, Edward’s strong body began to tighten slowly.
Hailey could feel his masculine smell. It was sexy and attractive.
Edward was so charming that almost every woman would lose herself as long as he touched her randomly.
He grasped Hailey’s hand and looked at her with his gentle eyes.
Hailey could feel that he began to breathe quickly. That was too intimate. Hailey felt a bit embarrassed. So she tried hard to pull her hand from his big hand.
“Edward, why are you looking at me like that? You… Oh, let me go. Don’t grasp me so tightly.”
Her soft and cute voice made Edward lose his mind completely. The erotic feeling surged in his heart. He pulled his face closer to her gradually and wanted to kiss her.
“No, Edward. Don’t do this,” Hailey said and dodged away awkwardly.
She felt so shy!
What happened to him?
Did he want her?
Thinking about this, Hailey broke out in a cold sweat. Her body shivered uncontrollably.
Edward kissed her eyebrows, her eyes, and her hot cheeks, but not her lips.
She felt a little bit relax when she thought about this.
She had a gut feeling that there was a place for her in his heart.
Maybe he cared about Sully and considered her to be a substitute.
All right! He saved Mark. Hailey decided to be generous to let him kiss her for Mark’s sake.
Hailey opened her eyes wide, staring at his handsome face. She wanted to identify any drawback on his face.
No matter how perfect an artwork was, there was always something not so good, wasn’t there?
However, Hailey failed to identify anything imperfect. Edward’s face was extremely handsome no matter from which angle she saw. The more she looked at him, the more handsome she thought he was.
“No, Edward. We can’t…” Tears began to pour out again. Hailey’s body trembled, trying to pull herself away from his arms.
The more she struggled, the more serious Edward became.
Hailey felt the danger and stopped struggling.
Fortunately, Edward also realized that he was behaving improperly. So he immediately let her go.
He stood up and looked down at her. “Dress yourself well and go to the company for an interview,” he said.
Now that she wanted to be an assistant to the celebrity, she was supposed to dress properly.
“Deal!”
Hailey had already been making preparation for this. A happy smile crept onto her lips. The way Edward showed his care was really special.
“Why are you smiling so weirdly?” he asked.
“Ur, nothing. Thank you, Edward,” she replied with a fake smile.
Probably she had been scared by Edward’s behavior. So when she stood up, her legs cramped all of a sudden. She screamed a bit and was about to fall onto the ground. Subconsciously, she reached out her hand and grasped the corner of Edward’s robe, trying to stop herself from falling.
That was the time when the accident happened.
Edward’s robe had not been tired tightly. Now, thanks to her, the robe fell on the ground.
Hailey, on the other hand, also knelt down in front of him.
She raised her head, only to see a strong and masculine body.
Both of the two were speechless.
Edward’s body tightened at once. He lowered his head and saw the young lady kneeling in front of him was staring at him. She seemed to be studying and judging his body.
The atmosphere immediately grew extremely cold. There was a storm on the way.
Edward’s ears blushed. He gritted from his teeth and said, “Go back to your room and sleep!”
The lady, on the other hand, remained still as if she was dumbfounded.
Edward could not hold it anymore. He raised one of his legs, ready to kick her away. But before he could put this into practice, Hailey suddenly screamed out loud, “Ah… I’m sorry, Edward!”
