No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 130



I stared at Conrad, "What are you trying to say? You want compensation, or are you going to tell me you're suing for assault?"

"What do you take me for?" Conrad's voice dropped, his demeanor shifting back to that of a cold, unapproachable CEO.

"I'm here to apologize. I was impulsive and reckless yesterday. You were right to hit me," Conrad's admission caught me completely off guard.

I glanced at the edge of a bandage peeking out from under his cap, accepting his apology. "Good to know you realize that."

Conrad snorted with laughter. "Felicia, I've noticed you've picked up some... bad habits."

How have I become bad?

But I didn't ask. Instead, I shot back, "You being at fault is a fact."

"Yeah, I know I was wrong yesterday. Getting too close to Haley, neglecting your feelings, even letting her into the apartment I prepared for you was a huge mistake. Not to mention giving her access to my credit card," Conrad reflected on his actions.

I wasn't sure where he was going with this until he continued, "I owe you an apology. All of that was my mistake."

"It doesn't matter anymore. Right or wrong has lost its meaning," I said, turning to leave, but he stopped me.
