It was noon and the sun was high above the sky showering the entire manor with its light. Hailey sat in the lounge with her legs crossed as she read a book. Lauren and her troublesome mother had just left and after they caused such a huge mess, she was finally getting her much needed break. She picked the glass of orange juice which Mrs. June places beside her her earlier and took a sip before turning to the next page of the book she was reading.The book was a psychological thriller and it had hints of mystery in it. Whilst she read, her lips were pressed into a thin line as she had reached a cliffhanger. Hailey normally detested cliffhanger especially when the book was still ongoing however the book in her hand was quite an interesting one so she was willing to read carefully and wait for the next chapter.She put a bookmark in the book and stood io from the rocking chair she was relaxing on, slipping her feet into the pair of lounge slippers she brought and walked out of the loung
Hailey immediately came back to her senses and strode into the room casually hiding her judgement staree and inner thoughts as she threw on a fake smile instantly. She settled in the single seater seat across him and crossed her legs relaxedly.She had made up her mind to stop trying to figure out what he wanted to do. Since Nolan was not home and couldn't deal with him, as the mistress of the house and his trusted side, she had to keep his support."To what do we owe this pleasure, Uncle Max?" She asked, smiling gently as a servant walked into the settee placing a plate of marshmallows on the table for her too. She looked at who it was and smiled gently. "Thanks, Lana."Then she picked a marshmallow and chewed on it too as Lana left. She looked at Max from the corner of her eyes. "It's been a while since you last came to visit us."Max narrowed his eyes gently as he looked at the young lady, his gaze contemplating. It had indeed been a while since he came to the mansion and although
Max's eyes glinted slightly surprised by her straightforward and sharp attitude. He gave a small cough and sat up, looking at her."Yes, I do have some thing to talk to you about. It's however something important. We can't talk about it here."Hailey raised a brow in question silently as she regarded him. She asked, "Why is that?" She looked around the room and added, "Tye Prime Manor is one of the safest estates in the country."Max's brows tightened as he said, "You know I'm not talking about the. What we want to talk about is a matter of privacy. Surely, you don't want others to start prying."Her brows knitted as she listened to him but she didn't immediately say anything. She tilted her head and asked gently, "As of this moment, only Mrs. June, me and a few other servants are in this house. And I can assure that our employees know their job well. Surely none of the is a spy."As she looked at Max's face that kept contorting seeing that she was insistent on not going to a secluded
Episode 84Mrs June walked straight up in the hallway and then diverted into Nolan's study room, her eyes scanned through the room and landed on Nolan who sat upright with his eyes skimming through one of Shakespeare book, His Mother’s favorite. Truthfully when his mother was alive he never found any interest in those books but strangely after he met Hailey he suddenly found interest in them, He had took one of the books from library the one she had met with max and Hailey the other day, her mother’s favorite, the comedic play title ; As you like it.

Hailey was in bed when Nolan finally arrives the next morning. She heard Mrs. June and the other servants going about and trying to make everything in the mansion impeccable so he would have nothing to complain about but she didn't stand up from where she slept and merely rested on the bed quietly with her arms below her head. She recalled what Max said when he came and her expression became even more downcast. She could not help but think about when she first arrived. He had been so folding back then and she wasn't even allowed to come near him or even touch his wheelchair.Later on, he told her it was because he feared she would find out he wasn't crippled and was pretending but it still was unable to make her reassured. She was afraid that he might have only seemed jovial to her but might not even have her in his heartShe also feared he would just suddenly change one day and would even be willing to address or talk to her. That he might her just as coldly as he always did back th
