Chapter 036 The Gossip About Herself

Although it might have happened in a fraction of a second, Hailey was completely able to avoid the disaster.

But before she could dodge, a big hand tugged at her hard. Her whole body rolled uncontrollably in the opposite direction, and her nose firmly hit the person’s firm chest. It was sore and painful, and she almost spat out tears.

Owen was very strong. In the spur of the moment, he didn’t hold back and

pressed Hailey heavily into his embrace. Half of Hailey’s face was pressed against his chest, and she could hear his heartbeat exploding in her ears.

This feeling was unfamiliar.

Hailey was stunned for a moment.

She had been married to Owen for three years, and he had never taken the

initiative to touch her physically. This was the first time she had had such close contact with him.

Hailey had once imagined what it would feel like to be held in Owen’s embrace one day. She thought it would be sweet, but she didn’t expect it to be sour. She

thought his embrace was cuddly and soft, but she didn’t expect it to be incomparably hard! Had he been going to the gym? Why was his chest muscles so hard?!

Hailey rubbed her sore nose. She was thankful that she didn’t have a nose job,

or she would have to go back to redo it. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…” The staff member was frightened, knowing that he

almost hurt someone, and apologized profusely.

Owen said seriously, “Be careful next time.”

Although the staff did not know who Owen was, he could tell that he was a big shot who was used to being a boss, judging from his attire and his imposing manner. The staff nodded repeatedly and retreated.

She curled her lips into a cold sneer, tidied up her messy hair, and walked out from the backstage. She could not bear to stay in the same place with him.
