Owen raised an eyebrow and leaned in close, his voice a low whisper by her ear. “The moment I met you, that thought crossed my mind…”

Hailey’s face instantly turned bright red. She quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth. “Stop,” she said, her voice a bit shaky. “If you have needs, handle them yourself. I’m going to the restroom.”

Without another word, Hailey hurried into the bathroom, almost as if she were running away.

Owen sat back lazily on the couch, the image of Hailey’s bashful, blushing face playing in his mind. She was so cute, and it made him want to pull her close and never let go. ‘What a little tease,‘ Owen thought.

He took a deep breath, loosening his tie to reveal his chiseled collarbone.

His phone buzzed beside him. Reaching for it, Owen picked it up and opened the message, only to realize it wasn’t his phone- it was Hailey’s.

It was a friend request, with the note sayin

[This is Mateo.]

Though they were a couple, Owen knew well that there still needed to be a level of privacy between them.

Just as he was about to set the phone down, another message came through.

[Hailey, I know your boyfriend is Owen, but no matter what, I won’t give up on pursuing you. I like you, and I’m certain I can win you over and take you from him!]

Owen scanned the message, and his expression hardened, a storm of anger rising beneath the calm exterior.

When Hailey stepped out of the bathroom, she didn’t notice anything unusual. Owen was looking at his phone, his face serious and unreadable.

“Is something wrong?” Hailey asked casually, drying her hands with a tissue.

Owen looked up at her, offering a smile. “Nothing’s wrong. Let me take you home.”

Hailey froze for a moment. She thought, ‘Something’s wrong. Otherwise, Owen wouldn’t have changed his attitude so suddenly after being so persistent with me just moments ago!
