Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea) novel Chapter 44

My mom's busy in the kitchen. I look around and feel at ease after making sure Harrison is not here.

"Wear your shoes!" Mom comes out of the kitchen and says.

I lower my head and realize I'm barefoot. I explain, "I just had a dream about a ghost chasing me."

"Grow up, girl." Mom looks at me dotingly. "Go fresh up and come to breakfast."

At breakfast, Mom tells me she was talking to her neighbor. I have mixed feelings because I thought she was talking to Harrison.

On the way to work, I'm still thinking. Did Harrison really come to me because of the call last night? Was he really worried about me? I don't quite believe what he said.

Our relationship is a little complicated right now. We're like friends or lovers because we're already physically close, but we're neither.

I used to think he was out of reach, but I don't anymore.

He is really different from all the men I know.

He seems distant, but he occasionally does something that makes me feel warm. Because of that, my heart keeps racing for him.

As soon as I arrive at the company, the cleaner pulls me aside and whispers in my ear, "There are a lot of rumors going around the company. Be careful."

"Rumors?" I seem to know what she's talking about.

She looks at me with anger. "Why do you have to be the other woman? This isn't gonna end well."

My calmness makes her sigh. "This morning, the whole company was saying that you seduced Sean. His wife is pregnant. Aren't you afraid of karma?"

I knew it! But I didn't expect that I became the target and Sean was fine.

"This is not true. Sean and I are just classmates," I explain.

But my explanation is useless. The cleaner shakes her head and says, "No one's gonna believe you. You need to figure out how to fix this!"

After talking to her, I go straight to Sean's office.

As soon as I appear, everyone stops talking.

Ignoring their eyes, I calmly walk into Sean's office and close the door.

"Why are you here?" Surprise flashes across his face when he sees me.

I go straight to the point. "Everyone at the company says we are having an affair. Are we?"

"So you're here for this. Calm down." Sean sits leisurely on his chair.
