Chapter 295

Hadley was browsing job listings on her phone when she heard a knock.

Having been let go from Galant, she was urgently in need of new employment. "Who is it?" She set her phone down and moved to answer the door.

Barely having time to react, she saw a long leg cross her threshold. Eric walked in confidently, one hand carrying a bag and the other flinging his suit jacket in her direction.

Hadley caught the jacket in a reflex. Why had he come back?

Eric moved through her apartment as if it were his own, setting the bag on the multipurpose table where she dined, read, and even applied makeup.

"Come over here." He began to unpack the bag. "Didn't you go out today? What have you been up to all by yourself?"

Hadley was clearly irritated but restrained herself from lashing out. She merely gave him a sharp look. "Nothing. Just watching some TV shows."
