DreameNovelChapter 19 After laying down the law with a glance that held more warning than words, Cyrus couldn't believe what he had just heard. Fighting for Hayley had gotten him into trouble with the police, and Caleb had spilled the beans to Nancy! Caleb's face went ghostly pale as he vigorously shook his head, denying involvement. He wouldn't dare spill the beans to Nancy, no matter what.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHaving overheard the conversation, Nancy interrupted with a frosty voice, "Just happened to pass by. If I hadn't come, I would've been none the wiser about your little scuffle over Ms. Grant here." It seemed she was no longer the exception in Cyrus' eyes. Perhaps, to Cyrus, Hayley had bechis priority. Nancy's gaze softened as she looked at Hayley, who embodied an innocence and beauty that was hard to ignore. Even Nancy could admit she might have fallen for her if she were a man.
But Cyrus was skeptical. If Caleb hadn't told Nancy, how could she have 'just happened to pass by' the station? It was clear they needed a better story.
Noticing Nancy's gaze, her eyes welling up, Hayley approached her, "Mrs. Gordon, you've got it all wrong. If it weren't for Mr. Gordon stepping in, my baby and I would've been in danger," she said, taking Nancy's hand in a gesture of gratitude. "You're so lucky to have such a wonderful man as your husband!" Nancy's smile turned into a smirk laced with irony as she felt Hayley's touch. "Oh? And who's the better man? Cyrus or the father of your baby?" Silence fell over Hayley while Cyrus quickly stepped in, patting Nancy's shoulder and reassuring her, "Nancy, please. Don't be petty. Though Hayley is with Norton, she's also one of my employees. Jack, the jerk from our office, made a move on her, so I stepped in." Nancy laughed coldly, "So, The Gordon Group now takes action against harassment within its walls? Mr. Gordon, you're quite the devoted employer." Frustrated, Cyrus pleaded with Nancy to understand him. He had explained himself. What more could Nancy possibly want? Just as Nancy was about to respond, a rush of footsteps interrupted them.
"Hayley is here! And Mr. Gordon, too!" The swarm of paparazzi that followed the noise zeroed in on Hayley with almost tangible eagerness. "Hayley, could we have a moment? Rumors are you're pregnant. Is that true?" Before anyone could react, they got surrounded. Terrified, Hayley clung to Cyrus, pleading, "Mr. Gordon, I'm scared."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCyrus, his expression turning stern, shielded Hayley from the pryingm cameras! "Who let you in? Get out, now!"
Despite their initial hesitation, the paparazzi pressed forward, sensing a story brewing, "Mr. Gordon, is it true you got detained for fighting over Hayley?"
Watching from the sidelines, Nancy felt a piece of her heart drop at the sight of Cyrus fiercely @otecting e Hayley. It was a stark reminder, perhaps, that Cyrus' affections had shifted away from her, even if he hadn't realized it himself.
