CHAPTER 698: CHAPTER 698: GUESS WHO THIS GIRL IS?

Hailey Hale felt very baffled!

She glanced back at her retreating figure and muttered, "What’s with the arrogance? Who’s she trying to impress?" Watching Barbara Sutton strut out of sight.

Hailey walked into the elegantly minimalist CEO’s office holding some documents.

Finn Morgan was eating a red bean cake, staring at her blankly, with an open bottle of banana milk on the desk that he seemed to have sipped.

Hailey had overheard their entire conversation just now.

"Since when do you need her to feed you?" Putting the documents on his desk, Hailey teased, "Didn’t you already have breakfast?"

"It’s not that I need her to feed me, don’t get me wrong!" Finn threw the red bean cake and banana milk into the trash, with a slightly helpless tone, "There’s nothing between her and me!"

"I’m not misunderstanding anything!" She laughed, "What could I even misunderstand? You’re both single, isn’t it normal to fancy each other?"

Finn looked up, staring at her coldly.

The girl’s smile froze slightly, her face showing embarrassment, as if she had misspoken.

Their eyes met, and his expression softened as he candidly said, "I thought you bought that breakfast."

"Huh?" Hailey was surprised, but somehow she found those words quite comforting.

She smiled, "If I bought it, you’d eat it with a clear conscience, but if she bought it, you’re completely disgusted, right?"

"Right." Finn replied earnestly, "It’s that simple."

"You don’t like her?"

"Right."

The girl pondered, tilting her head and deliberately asked, "Then do you like me?"

"Right." He responded without hesitation as well.

Their gazes locked, and the air seemed to freeze.

"Did you pack my luggage?" She shifted the topic, her eyes retracting slightly, "I’ll go move this afternoon."

"It’s just a few clothes, you can pack them yourself when you get there, it won’t take long." Finn just thought it inappropriate for a guy to handle a girl’s personal clothing.

"Alright then." Hailey wore a nonchalant smile, "I’ll go back with you this afternoon." Then she glanced at the documents she just put down, looked at the trash can, and turned to leave.

Watching her back, Finn had a lot to say but didn’t know how to start.

Wasn’t she saying she didn’t want to live with older folks and liked male friends?

Looks like she won’t be living here anymore?

Finn felt a bit lost inside.

The breakfast wasn’t from her, so it tasted bland.

Finn was well aware that after spending this time together, he had developed feelings for Hailey.

In Riventhal, something important was happening, the news was reporting, and some photos were about to thrust Hailey Hale and Finn Morgan into trending topics.

The results of the "Drunk Beauty Four Seasons * Mountain Glimpses" photography contest were finally out!

The first prize winner, Titus Quill, was in his forties, a low-key man, accepting interviews at home after winning the prize—

In an elegant courtyard, a dozen reporters surrounded a man with a strong artistic vibe, bombarding him with questions.

He calmly and succinctly answered—

"I truly just went to photograph the waterfall, and unexpectedly snapped a series of high-quality photos of a young couple." His voice was deep and magnetic, "Their shared gaze was filled with pure love, I found it really beautiful, so I took a few extra shots."

"Actually, I don’t know who they are, they’re truly not models I hired, I don’t even know them, all I can say is they contributed to my success."

At the entrance of the elegant courtyard.

A young girl in a Luxury tailored dress looked at the man being interviewed, a slight smile on her lips, "Uncle has always been low-key, I didn’t expect he’d win again."

"Miss." The middle-aged woman beside her was also pleased, "Mr. Quill will surely be happier knowing you came to congratulate him."

"Let’s go." Melissa Merce moved towards the man.

The man quickly dismissed the reporters with a few words.

"Uncle!" The girl smiled with hidden delight, "Congratulations!"

"Melissa, you’re in Riventhal? Come in!" The man said joyfully, "Come see uncle’s photography work, it was just luck this time, capturing a couple!"

Following him to the living room, the uncle introduced the photos developed on the wall, explaining the history of Aethel Falls...

The girl’s eyes fell on the boy in the photo, her smile froze, trembling with excitement, "Isn’t that Finn Morgan?"
