Chapter 177

All right, let’s do our own thing. Halley is a real pain in the ass, but he’s his mom’s only kid. His mom was crying her eyes out in front of me, and I just couldn’t say no. Stella sighed and hung up the phone.

I was sitting by the roadside, making phone calls to a few of my buddies in Rosemont, asking them to help me find Halley.

They were more than willing to lend a hand, and now I just had to wait for the results.

By the time I hung up the last call, it was getting late. I was about to hail a cab when Bailey pulled up in his car.

“Ms. Finch, are you done with your business? I can give you a ride home.Bailey always had a serious look on his face.

He was really attentive, which made me pretty happy.

I got into his car and said, Let’s hit the road.

I felt a bit worn out on the way home, so I closed my eyes to catch a few winks.

By the time we got home, I was already snoozing. Bailey had to wake me up.

It was really late by then. I told him to be careful on the way home, and then I headed inside.

Just before I hit the sack, Stella asked me in the group chat, Rena, did you know? Bonnie’s friend is actually dating Louis. I was totally blindsided. Louis is Neil and the guysbuddy. What on earth does he see in her?

I had known about this for a while. I replied, Well, to each their own, let’s not meddle in their business.

Barbara asked Stella, How did you find out that?

Stella replied, They’re going back to their homeland and asked Mitch out for a meal. Going out this late, I didn’t let him go, so they postponed, but I bet they’ll ask again tomorrow
