No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 778

It was the middle of the night, and there I was, at O'Malley's Pub, completely gobsmacked to see Susie Collins walk through the door.

Lately, life's been throwing too much at me, and I haven't been able to keep track of her as much as I should. But that doesn't mean I've stopped caring.

Susie was wearing this long, elegant forest-green dress that wasn't revealing at all, which made her stick out like a sore thumb in the chaotic atmosphere of the bar.

I didn't approach her directly. Instead, I hung back, curious to see what she was up to there.

Susie weaved through the crowd and headed backstage, turning a corner to enter

a room.

That was Haley's office.

Was Haley the one who contacted her?

Alarm bells went off in my head, and I quickly moved to the door. Luckily, it was slightly ajar, so I could both see and hear what was going on inside.

"Manager Perez, I'm starting college next week, so I won't be able to work here anymore. Could you settle my performance fees?" Susie's words caught me completely off guard.
