Chapter 7 I stood up and motioned for Chris to go back . He glanced at me , pouting in frustration , but obediently retreated . Seeing me , James's exhausted face softened into a faint smile . " Hailey , come back with me . I've already started preparing our wedding . Do you want it by the beach or on the lawn ? I'll make it exactly how you want it . " I let out a light sigh as I looked at him . " James , the divorce is now entirely in my lawyer's hands . Don't come looking for me anymore . " " Why ? Just because I let Susan join the company ? If you really don't like her , I'll make her leave . Please ... don't divorce me . James's eyes reddened at the corners . " Hailey , you know how much I love you . My life can't exist without you . Let me explain - the rings were the clerk's mistake . When I took Susan to pick her welcome gift , she liked one ring . The clerk accidentally made it a pair . There's nothing between us . I only valued her professional abilities . I was foolish to poach her from another company . If you don't approve , I'll fire her immediately . Okay ? " I watched him silently , then laughed softly . " James , you really don't know Susan likes you , do you ? Back then , she and I were both vying for your attention , and you chose me . She resented me and used you as an excuse to trick me into that dangerous building . You're smart -how could you not see that she's in love with you ? You brought her into the company to take advantage of her feelings , to make her work for you and the company , didn't you ? " My words pierced straight to his thoughts . Panic flickered across his face . " James , in these years of business , you've changed a lot . The time I've spent away from you - I've lived well . As for the wedding ... it was never really for me . It was your promise . You didn't keep it before , and I don't need it now . Please , just leave .
