Hello 382
Chapter 382
When Ron said someone was looking for me, my first thought was uh-oh, maybe I'd taken too many days off.
Before last night, I'd figured Ron was lettingtake toff because | believed Hayden was the mysterious big
boss behind him. But now... things felt different.
| shook off the awkwardness and replied, "Is it a client? | can head back right now."
"It's not a client. It's a woman, all dolled up like a fefatale, and she's storming in like the wife catching her
husband with a mistress," Ron said, blunt as ever. Zero filter.
Then, almost as an afterthought, he added, "Ms. Kay, | know about you and Hayden. No judgment here, just
giving you a heads-up. You sure you didn't upset someone?" | was confused, but stayed calm. "What's her
name?"
"No idea. She said her last name's Grey. But she's got that 'I'm in charge’ attitude," Ron sounded like he was still
recovering from her entrance.
Grey?
| ran through my mental Rolodex but cup blank. | didn't know anyone named Grey.
| hadn't done anything wrong, so | wasn't exactly worried. In fact, my plans to go back to the office shifted. "I'm
at the hospital right now. If she really wants to see me, tell her to chere." "Huh?" Ron sounded thrown off.
"If she doesn't want to, tell her she's free to go wherever she pleases," | added.
| could almost hear Ron's jaw drop. "Isn't that a bit....much?"

| smiled. "If you feel bad for her, you can keep her entertained. But | don't think I'll make it to the office today.
Tomorrow sounds better."
Yuna's surgery was coming up soon, and while she had stests to get through today, Hayden was there to
help. | wasn't really needed.
"No rush, no rush. Focus on your family. Things are fine at the company. Your team's top-notch-it's like you're still
there even when you're not," Ron reassured me.
"Is that so? Maybe | should cback soon, before the marketing department forgets who their boss is," |
teased.
"You can't say that! Your spot is safe, totally safe. No one could ever replace you," Ron said quickly, sounding
almost panicked.
His over-the-top indulgence was starting to feel... weird. Like | was being treated like royalty. It was fiattering, but
also madewonder why.
Last night's dinner had pretty much killed the idea that Hayden was the hidden boss, so what was up with Ron
being so extra?
Did he have another reason?

He seemed more invested in my relationship with Hayden than even Hayden's family.
So, what was behind this special treatment? | couldn't quite put my finger on it.
Could it really just be admiration for my "amazing talents?
As | mulled it over, Ron chimed in again. "Ms. Kay, you're really letting this Grey lady cto the hospital?
"Mm-hmm, if she wants to."
Ron clicked his tongue. "You know, people say you beclike the company you keep. You and Hayden are
starting to feel like a married couple."
