No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 218



I had no clue what kind of favor Conrad wanted from me. There was a heavy silence before I could even think of a response, but he went ahead anyway, "My folks just can't wrap their heads around Haley, especially my mom. So, could you maybe put in a good word for her?"

Talk about a gut punch!

I swear Conrad was doing this on purpose.

Asking me to vouch for Haley? If he wasn't out of his mind, then he must've pegged me for an easy mark.

"Mr. Wagner, if you're asking me to speak up, I'm certainly not going to sing praises," I didn't bother playing the saint.

"Felicia..."

"Conrad, I'm no angel. I'm not that generous. Besides, Haley and I don't share any bond. Why should I speak well of her?" My voice was sharp, challenging.

Then, in the next second, Conrad threw me a curveball, "Is this because you're jealous?"

I laughed, "Oh, so you're testing if I'm jealous? Well, Mr. Wagner, you're going to be disappointed. Far from jealous, I'm actually relieved. Relieved that I saw through you early on."

Conrad sighed from the other end, “Felicia, what I offered Haley was just a title, something I owed her. There's really nothing between us..."

I frowned, cutting him off coldly, "That's your business with her, not mine."
