Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 382

When Ron said someone was looking for me, my first thought was uh-oh, maybe I'd taken too many days off.

Before last night, I'd figured Ron was letting me take time off because I believed Hayden was the mysterious big boss behind him. But now... things felt different.

I shook off the awkwardness and replied, "Is it a client? I can head back right now."

"It's not a client. It's a woman, all dolled up like a femme fatale, and she's storming in like the wife catching her husband with a mistress," Ron said, blunt as ever. Zero filter.

Then, almost as an afterthought, he added, "Ms. Kay, I know about you and Hayden. No judgment here, just giving you a heads-up. You sure you didn't upset someone?" I was confused, but stayed calm. "What's her name?"

"No idea. She said her last name's Grey. But she's got that 'I'm in charge' attitude," Ron sounded like he was still recovering from her entrance.

Grey?

I ran through my mental Rolodex but came up blank. I didn't know anyone named Grey.

I hadn't done anything wrong, so I wasn't exactly worried. In fact, my plans to go back to the office shifted. "I'm at the hospital right now. If she really wants to see me, tell her to come here." "Huh?" Ron sounded thrown off.
