Chapter 272

Hayden sounded polite enough, using "please" and everything, but it still felt like a command from a superior.

And I knew this wasn't about work. Yesterday, he'd grilled me about those flowers from Brad, and now he'd just seen this whole scene go down firsthand. Was he planning another interrogation?

It hit me then-having a boyfriend is basically inviting trouble. If there were nothing between us, I could've just brushed Brad off and been done with it. No drama.

But now? I still had to deal with Hayden.

Ugh, it's true-no guy is ever completely chill.

With everyone's eyes on us, I couldn't exactly refuse. So, I reluctantly followed Hayden to his office.

It wasn't far from mine and was pretty minimalistic, except it was packed with all kinds of gadgets. Besides the standard desk, chair, and computer, there were tons of electronic equipment everywhere.
