Tempted By My Boss: Book Two 14 Chapter 14

"I want you to give me the same opportunity as Valerian, if you don't choose me then I will let you go forever without any regrets. I can't just let you go to Valerian but I can't stop you either." Alex replied.

"Are you going to be okay with me seeing Valerian too?"

"Yes Hailey, anything for you."

"Are you sure Alex"

"I am more than sure, I don't want to live in a world without you."

Hailey felt her chest tighten, she couldn't look at him.

"Let me know how you want to do it." With that, Alex turned and left.

When Hailey left work she was still wrestling with what Alex had said, could she really do it? What if she ended up not selecting right? Or not wanting to let either one go?

She got into her car, "Where to mam?"

Hailey knew that she had something to take care of. When she got to Valerian's house, she dreaded what she was going to say.

She took a deep breath and went up to his front door and rang the bell. After a few minutes, the door opened,

"Hailey, what a pleasant surprise.

"Well when I'm done, it won't be. You don't have to agree of you don't"

Valerian started to look worried, "Come in Hailey."

Hailey walked in and sat on the couch, she felt too anxious.

"Do you want anything to drink?"

"No, thanks I am fine."

Valerian sat down across her, "Are you rejecting me."

"Yes and No."

"What does that mean Hailey?"

"Yes, I will go on dates with you."

"What is the no for then Hailey?"

Hailey blurted it out before she started to overthink it, "Alex asked for the same condition as you did."

"And you said No."

"I agreed with Valerian, and I would understand if you didn't want to date me."

"So that's what the no for Hailey?"

"Yes."

"But why Hailey?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you giving us both a chance? Do you feel bad for him?"

"It's not that."

"Then what is Hailey? Make me understand?"

"What do you want me to say to you?"

"Anything?"

"You don't have to do it Valerian if you don't want to. You can think about it."

"Does Alex know?"

"He is the one that suggested it in the first place."

"So you didn't care how I would feel? Or to ask me, Hailey."

"What about Alex, have you taken his feelings into consideration at all? You come out of nowhere and ask for a second chance and the only thing Alex could do was to agree so he wouldn't lose me."

"What about me then Hailey, should I be like him?"

"No Valerian, I need for you to understand where I am coming from."

"I don't Hailey, I just don't."

"That's why there is another option for you. You don't have to say yes."

"If I don't say yes, then I lose you. What choice do I really have?"

"We can be friends."

"I don't just want to be your friend Hailey."

"You can take your time to figure it out."

"Do you have feelings?"

"Huh?"

"Do you have feelings for Alex Hailey?"

"Yes, I do."
