Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 137 First Meeting (2)

?

Maybe it was fine with Nicole and Jessica since they were our subordinates, but it was definitely awkward doing it in front of Haley who was here as a guest.

Haley also felt very awkward sitting there as she didn't know where to look.

She was surprised that Baroness Rose would do something like this, but she didn't find it strange.

After all, the two of them were married and this was what married couples did…or at least that was what she had heard. She had never experienced it herself with her ex-husband.

Speaking of which, she was now formally divorced from Alex after having submitted the paperwork, so she could call him her ex-husband.

After a long kiss, Baroness Rose finally moved her face away and let me catch my breath.

I looked at her with a very strange look, but she just looked back at me with that smile of hers. Seeing that cute smile of hers, I couldn't stay shocked or angry, so I just patted her on the head and said, "I'm back."

She gave a nod in response before sitting down beside me.

Then she turned to look at Haley who was sitting there with a blush on her face.

When Haley saw her looking over, she gave a cough and cleared her throat before saying, "Your ladyship, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Baroness Rose gave a slight nod which worried Haley, but she tried to keep her calm as she said, "I want to thank you for doing business with our company. I hope that everything has been satisfactory so far."

Baroness Rose gave another slight nod which then caused the room to fall into silence.

Haley wanted to say something else to relieve this awkwardness, but there wasn't anything else that she could say.

So there was just that awkward silence that filled the room as they sat there.

It was finally broken in the end when Baroness Rose said, "So, you're the one that he saved."

When we heard this, all of us couldn't help trembling from the surprise that we felt.

I turned to look over at Baroness Rose, but I found that her eyes were on Haley the entire time. With how her eyes were narrowed and focused, it was almost as if she was trying to gauge Haley's expression.

Haley just lowered her head again out of awkwardness and she didn't know what to do here.

I was about to help by saying something, but Baroness Rose looked at me and glared me down. So all I could do was sit there and wait to see what she was planning.

I knew her and I knew that she wouldn't bully Haley like this for no reason. So I waited and watched to see what she had planned.

Nicole and Jessica also sat there awkwardly, but that was for a different reason.

They were scared that if Baroness Rose knew about me being in danger with the Crow Gang, she would take it out on them. She had known that Haley had been saved, so it was a good guess that she already knew most things that happened in the city.

But there was one thing that bothered all three of us.I think you should take a look at

Just who had been the one that blabbed?

Not a single one of us knew that…it was the driver who had been with us the entire time.

He had been so silent that we had forgotten all about him even though he drove us back.

He had been under Baroness Rose's secret orders to report everything that happened in the city, so he had been diligently sending back messenger birds daily to report on what happened. So Baroness Rose did indeed know about most of what happened, there were just some minor details that she didn't know about.

She didn't do this because she was afraid that he would fail, but rather she did this out of love.

If something happened to him, she wanted to be the first to know so she could send help.

At the same time, if someone got close to him…she wanted to be the first to know so she could deal with that person.

Which was what led to this current situation.

Baroness Rose knew something about Haley that even she didn't recognize herself, which was why she was making this awkward for her.

After a long silence, Haley finally gave a nod and said, "Yes. I apologize for bringing your husband into my matters, but it was because of him that I was able to escape from my predicament safely. I hope that I will be able to repay you for this grace one day."

Baroness Rose didn't say anything after hearing this from Haley, she just calmly looked at her as if she was appraising her.

Then all of sudden, Baroness Rose asked, "How big is your business in Alandal City?"

Haley couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this, but she still gave the information that she thought Baroness Rose wanted.

When I heard this, I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows.

That was because this information was much more detailed than the information that Nicole had provided me.

If my guess was correct, this should be information that only employees of Haley's company knew.

I looked at her, but she just shook her head to me as if she was saying that it was fine.

I revealed a complicated look, but I decided to trust Baroness Rose and didn't say a thing.

Once she was done listening, Baroness Rose asked, "It shouldn't be a problem for you to create a branch of your company in our town, right?"

Haley was caught off guard hearing this since she never expected this to be where it all led, but she quickly gave a nod in response and said, "It's not a problem at all."

Baroness Rose gave a nod in response before saying something that caught everyone off guard, "You like him, don't you?"
