Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 A Photo of Hailey and Jeremy He hadn’t expected that such an embarrassing scene would be seen by Hailey. Jeremy was suddenly embarrassed. “Don’t be shy. It’s a good thing to do.” Hailey laughed and teased him, glanced at his wet clothes, and said, “Your clothes are wet. Go change your clothes. Don’t catch a cold.” Jeremy touched the clothes and said, “It’s okay. They’ll be dry in a while.” Hailey didn’t say anything. Chris came in at the right time, carrying two paper bags in his hand, “Miss. Newinan, I bought the clothes.” Hailey made a gesture, and Chris understood. He directly went forward and stuffed the paper bags into Jeremy’s arms, “This is what Miss. Newman asked me to buy at the mall. It should fit. Please have a try.” Jeremy looked at the clothes in the paper bag and his whole body froze, “Hailey, you bought me these?” Hailey said lightly, “Yeah. Go change. You still have to work.” “So how much is it? I’ll transfer it to you.” Jeremy said and pulled out his phone. Meanwhile, he pulled out another milk candy from the pocket. He took it and froze. Looking at the milk candy, Hailey couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that his deeds had been printed in her head forever. She took over the candy from his hand, “I’ll take this as your payment.” “No, I can’t…” It looked like Jeremy insisted to pay his sister. Chris knew Hailey is not in a good mood today. He was afraid that Jeremy might make her angry again. He didn’t want that tricky situation to happen again. So he hurriedly dragged him upstairs. “I bought the discounted clothes. They are cheap. Besides, you’re so brave today. You’ve done something righteous. Just take these clothes as a reward for you from Miss. Newman” Chris persuaded Jeremy like a babbling mother, “…What is there to be ashamed of? Miss. Newman is one of your families. It’s normal that she bought you something.” He pushed Jeremy into the dressing room without saying a word.

Hailey, on the other hand, peeled off the candy paper and stuffed the milk candy into her mouth. Her mouth was filled with a creamy and sweet taste. Jeremy quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs. Chris had good taste and bought him some casual suits, an orange t-shirt and a pair of beige trousers. Of course, a beautiful face and physique were both indispensable. Not to mention wearing casual clothes, even if it was a plastic bag, Jeremy would fit them well. He was like a model. Hailey took a look at Jeremy and nodded appreciatively, “You look great.” Jeremy’s face reddened again and he rubbed his head in

embarrassment.

Despite the bribe of the milk candy, Hailey didn’t lower her standards for Jeremy. The first time Jeremy cooked the shredded bean curd was not successful. He forgot to put it in the hot water to clean it. Hailey asked him to redo it. Jeremy was so scared that he immediately cooked it again from scratch. The second time was perfect. Hailey nodded and was satisfied. Jeremy then breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a cheerful and relaxed smile.

Though a rainy day today, there were still many customers. Some of them went in to hide from the rain. But they were also embarrassed to come in without buying things. Some of them bought drinks. The front desk staff was very busy. Hailey took off her chef’s uniform and went to the front desk to help. Her show-up attracted a lot of attention. The atmosphere in the hall became more lively and enthusiastic. Hailey wanted to keep a low profile, but her appearance betrayed her. Hailey came directly from the office after work. She didn’t even

remove her makeup, smoky pink eyeshadow, rose-red hair, and red lips, which made her look gorgeous. She was also wearing casual clothes, a red sleeveless tight shirt and a pair of dark blue pants. And she was wearing a pair of black high heels. Though her clothes were simple, she had a nice shape, which attracted so much attention in the hall. “OMG, is this woman a waitress? She is so beautiful. “She can’t be a waitress. Have you ever seen such a beautiful waitress? And look at her! I guess she is either the owner of the restaurant or the owner’s daughter.” “I envy her shape. She’s curvy and fit!” The girls were the ones who couldn’t stop talking about her body, while men were already staring at Hailey and looking straight at her. Gaillifted the curtain and was taken aback by the situation outside “My goodness, why are some people taking pictures there?” Jeremy was busy serving up the freshly prepared dishes. His forehead was sweating. He pressed the serving bell, wiped his hands, and followed Gail to poke his head out. He saw the customers in the dining room eating their meals while holding their phones in their hands and taking pictures of Hailey. What’s inore, there was also a group of men in front of the counter, talking to Hailey, smiling, Jeremy’s eyebrows heavily frowned, ‘What is this? Am I in a 200 or something?’ He walked straight out of the kitchen, pushed his way through the crowd, and walked towards the

front desk. He took Hailey’s hand and took her away, Hailey looked at Jeremy in confusion, and then looked down at their hands. “…” The crowd watched in confusion too. The noisy lobby

Suddenly fell into silence for a few seconds. After Jeremy took Hailey into the kitchen, the crowd started to chat again.

“OHMYGOD, what did I just see?” “That handsome guy in the white chef’s uniform, is he a model? I want his number!” “Do you guys think he looks like Dorian Britt? I almost thought my idol showed up just now. But Dorian is not as tall as him… But still, they look similar!” “Wow, he’s handsome! I guess she must be his girlfriend. So was he jealous just now? I thought this only happens in the film.” “It looks like he is younger than that beauty.”

The people in the dining room were chatting so loudly that they can’t even hear the rain outside. The waiters felt their ears are buzzing. Jeremy led Hailey into the kitchen with a cold face and looked at her with concern, “Hailey, are you okay?” As if changing his face in a Second, Jeremy now looked soft. “Yeah. I’m fine. But thanks for bringing me in. Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to control my temper.” Hailey resented being surrounded by people. She was not afraid of being pictured. It was just that she had to ask someone to help her remove those photos. She wouldn’t bother to show up at the front desk if the restaurant was not busy. And she couldn’t lose her temper. After all, this was their own restaurant. She called Brook and summoned the manager over, asking him to gather all the umbrellas in the restaurant and offer them to the customers. So they could go home and the restaurant would be less noisy. Jeremy watched Hailey who was arranging things orderly. But what he was really concerned about was what she had said to Brook on the phone.

“Brook, some people took my pictures in the restaurant. I need you to help me deal with it. Keep an eye on the Internet too. Don’t let the photos leak out.” Jeremy seemed to forget all other messy thoughts in his head. And his only concern was whether the photo of Hailey and him could be saved.
