Maisy nodded and lay down on the pillow that Jay had just arranged. Although Jay said that he wasn’t very busy, there was a possibility that he said so to assure her. Maisy

picked up her phone and hesitated. She didn’t know if she should ask Bruce for a leave of absence.

After leaving the Hamilton family, in order to give Lucas a good living environment and to be financially secure in the future, she had been working very hard. Although she

wasn’t a workaholic, she rarely asked for leave. If she asked for leave, what excuse should she find for Bruce to accept it?

Before she made up her mind, she heard the conversation outside. One of the voices belonged to Jay, but why did the other sound so much like Bruce? Could it be that

Bruce came to pick her up again? Maisy had a bad premonition.

Then he must have seen Jay. Then the matter between her and Jay couldn’t be hidden anymore? Maisy couldn’t accept it. Yesterday, something like that happened, so how

was she going to face Bruce in the future?! She covered her head with the blanket. She didn’t want to face reality anymore.

After a while, Jay walked in. Seeing Maisy like this, he knew that she must have heard their conversation.

“Maisy, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” Jay said helplessly, “I didn’t know that he would suddenly come. I didn’t feel that it was appropriate to ignore him and leave him standing

outside.”

Maisy slowly poked her head out from under the blanket. She actually understood everything, but it was really too awkward and she didn’t want to face it at all. “What did

you guys talk about just now?” She asked softly.

“I said that you weren’t feeling well, so I took a leave of absence for you.” Jay was very patient because he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and make her

unhappy. “Bruce didn’t ask about the other things either. He has a sense of propriety.”

Jay knew that Maisy liked him. Just based on this point alone, he would definitely win. Therefore, he didn’t bother to shy away from praising his opponent when praise was

due.

“What reason did you use to take a leave of absence for me?” Maisy, unwilling to give up, asked.

Jay scratched his head. “I told him that you were too tired.”

The two of them instantly fell into silence.

Jay was selfish. He knew that he could say that Maisy was sick. But when he thought of Bruce’s care and concern for her, he wanted to declare his sovereignty right in front

of that person’s face. This excuse was both implicit and thought-provoking. Bruce was a smart person. Jay believed that he could understand what he meant. Maisy

naturally understood the meaning behind his words. Now, she felt even more ashamed.

“Maisy.” Jay pulled the blanket over her head. “Alright, I will never do this again. I will definitely discuss it with you beforehand.”

“You won’t have a chance!” Maisy stuck her head out angrily. “You aren’t allowed to make decisions for me anymore. You are also not allowed to speak nonsense in front of

others anymore!”

“Okay, okay, okay,” Jay agreed helplessly. As long as Maisy was happy, it was fine.

Maisy nodded. She had already suffered extreme humiliation. It was useless even if she made things difficult for Jay. Maisy, who tried her best to convince herself to let it go,

froze in the next second. They were discussing Bruce a moment ago, and now, he called. She looked at the man beside her helplessly. She really didn’t want to pick up the

phone.

“Who’s calling?” Maisy felt the air around her turn cold.

Jay felt that the call was fishy. When he thought of Bruce’s reaction just now, he guessed it.

“Bruce,” Maisy answered unnaturally..
