Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

Chapter 390 What Happened?

Hayley’s POV:

** Finished.

Tanner grinned at me and said, “Our studio has received several large orders, and the clients specifically requested that you design for them personally.”

He paused before continuing, “Since it’s summer break would you consider coming to my studio? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the salary is more than fair.”

Ah, so that’s what this is about!

I had been worried about having too much free time during the summer, but now it looks like I’ve got something to keep me busy.

“Sure! I’m totally fine with that,” I replied without hesitation.

Upon hearing my answer, Tanner couldn’t contain his excitement and jumped up, grinning from ear to ear. “Thank you, Hayley! You’re really helping me out.”

I smiled back. “No problem! I can come to your studio tomorrow.”

“That’s fantastic!” Tanner said, beaming. “I’ll have someone set up your workspace right away, so you’ll be comfortable when you start.” He gave me a friendly pat on the shoulder.

Henry, who had been watching from the side, widened his eyes in shock. “Boss, you’re incredible! You can design clothes too?!”

He looked at me, bewildered, and asked, “Boss, aside from being amazing at games, songwriting, academics, tennis, Math Olympiad, and designing clothes, is there anything else I don’t know about you?”

I gave him a mysterious smile. “Oh, there’s plenty you don’t know.”

Henry paused, furrowing his brow. “Why do I feel like there’s a deeper meaning behind your words? What do you really mean?”

I didn’t respond, letting the silence hang in the air.

“Tap, tap, tap…” The sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the room.
