Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 120

No employee?

Which meant…

“Then she must have snuck into Le Céleste to find a rich man!” Hailey’s voice rose, as if she had uncovered some monumental secret about Serena.

But when she saw Nicholas avert his gaze and start to walk away, she could no longer pretend not to see him.

If he left now, who would she be performing for?
