Secret Relationship “Miss Mckenzie, what do you have to say about the statement that Carlos Ronaklo’s party released? According to his statement, you are not in a relationship,” the news reporter could be seen on TV asking: Ilaley is she walked to the airport in Paris.
Kale watched the news while having lunch with her colleagues al CSKApparel. She narrowed her eyes at the sight of Hailey and waited for her reply. She thought, ‘You better icll the truth, Hailey’
“I’m sure there is a reason for his denial. This is just a misunderstanding: Everything will be cleared up very soon. You’ll see.” Hailey smiled and said, “Thank you. I need to catch my flight and return to New York”
Kate’s lips twitched in irritation. She thought, ‘llow dare she?’
“Wonder why Mister Ronaldo denied their relationship. Weren’t they always seen together?” Linsey, Kate’s marketing associate, said,
Molly, their store manager, replied, “Yes. Even during his early tennis career. Maybe they are going through a rough patch. Every couple does.”
They were all seated at the same table, and Kale could not help but want to clear the misunderstanding She declared, “They were seen together, as in walking together, right?
Attending events together? But were they ever holding hands? Or kissing: in public?”
“I never heard The Devil confirm about being in any relationship” kate scoffed and said,” Maybe Hailey is just claiming to be in a relationship with Car I mean, Mister Ronaldo.”
Kate sighed. How she wanted to announce to the world that she was Carlos’ girlfriend, However, there were two things she had to keep in mind. One, the Bonnet Gang, or whatever is left of them, may sull be after Carlos. He specifically instructed her not to reveal their relationship to keep herself sale Thus, currently, they are in a secret relationship. Second, should there be an announcement about their relationship, she most certainly wanted it to come from Carlos,
“I don’t know, Kite li just makes sense that they are together because he used to be managed by beraber, “Molly said “I have read any articles about them and honestly believe they are a couple
They are not together PERIOD” Another scoff left Kate’s lips, and she said, “Besides, I’m be Mister kunaldo has a better laste

“Excuse me?” Kate asked in shock. ‘I have had my hands on The Devil! More than you can imagine!
“I’m sorry, but I followed this romance thing going on between Hailey and Mister Ronaldo. So I am a firm believer that they are together,” Molly insisted.
“Have you actually seen them together?” Kate shot back.
“Well, she was here during our meeting over a month ago, remember? And they left together? They did not even join our dinner,” Molly pointed. “They probably stayed in the hotel room and had got it on.”
“No, they did not!” Kate insisted, making Molly and Linsay lean back at how she raised her voice.
“Geez, miss Kate. You sure are into Mister Ronaldo.” Linsey laughed. She said, “Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. Haha! Love him too!”
It was because Kate could not stand the conversation anymore that she excused herself. As she stepped out, she did not miss how Molly and three other employees whispered to each other, clearly talking about her.
Kate was shaking her head as she walked back to her office. She realized it was useless to defend Carlos from all the hearsay. It had to come from him. Since he was the superstar, and the aspiration of many women, not even an heiress to the Wright Diamond Corporation was believable in discounting one, Hailey Mckenzie.
When Kate reached her office. She locked the doors and took out the phone Carlos had given her. She turned it on and sent him a text: (How is your practice? I just saw Hailey on the news again. I hate it when she claims to be your girlfriend. She seems to suggest that your relationship will be revealed soon.]
Kate waited but knew it would be much later when Carlos would reply. He was practicing with Alexander, preparing for the French Open finals.
***
At a private tennis club in New York, exclusive only for their elite members, Carlos and Alexander were volleying a tennis ball with passion on the hard-covered court. At every hit, they grunted. In each break, they panted.
It was Alexander’s turn to serve the tennis ball, and Carlos was in his ready stance, his hands firmly gripping his racket, his eyes fixed on the ball. “Aahhh!” Tossing the ball, Alexander hit with all his might. The ball landed on Carlos’ service area, but The Devil returned it with much greater force! Alexander tried to reach for the ball, but he wound up falling down against the court. A loud grunt left his lips, and he rolled to his back, taking deep breaths. He said, “One day, I’m going to beat you!” Carlos laughed from the other side of the court. He walked over to Alexander’s side and suggested, “When I am ready to retire, I will let you beat me.” Chasing his breath, Alexander wiped the sweat off his forehead with his wristband. He asked,” Are you ever going to retire?”
“I can’t keep traveling around the world forever, Alex. I want to be with Kate,” Carlos revealed. “I want to have a family with her.”
“Cheesy, man,” Alexander suggested. “You are so in love with Kate.”
Just then, Carlos’ head of security walked in, saying, “The way to the locker room is clear, sir.”
Both Alexander and Carlos wore their jackets and put on a hat as an extra safely measure. Then they made their way to the private locker room.
Olive was already there and ready to give Carlos an update. He said, “Sir, The French Open will resume next week. Added security is in place for the finals.”
“Are you coming?” Carlos asked Alexander.
“I’ll take a break and save some airfare, Carlos,” Alexander replied before checking his phone, He read his girlfriend’s text messages and said, “Kendra is reminding you of the dinner she had prepared. She said you can’t miss it.”
“Does she even cook?” Carlos asked.
Alexander laughed and replied, “I’m sure she ordered in. Anyway, should be okay, right? Let’s have a few drinks before you return to your penthouse. We always have drinks after heavy practice. Come on!”
“I don’t see why not,” Carlos replied.
***
From inside Alexander’s penthouse, Kendra was setting up their dining table. She heard the doorbell ring and frantically rushed to open the front door. When she opened it, she sighed in relief, saying, “Thank god you made it before they arrived. You have no idea how many bodyguards follow around Carlos. It would be so hard to sneak you in.” Hailey was taking a deep breath. She smiled and said, “I was rushing the whole time. I’m glad I made it.”
“Are you ready? Did you get the drug?” Kendra asked.
“Yes,” Hailey answered, she fished inside her bag and handed it to Kendra. She said, “Careful, okay. This thing could kill.”
“Relax, I know exactly what I am doing. I know the dosage for this,” Kendra said. She winked at Hailey and instructed, “Use the last guestroom. Take a bath and get ready. I have food prepared inside Alexander won’t suspect a thing because he barely checks that guest room. I’ll prepare the second guestroom for Carlos, and it’s just right next to yours.”
“Good luck.”
In the next half an hour, Hailey spent her time in the bathroom, lathering her body with lavender and milk bath soap. She touched hersell, thinking about everything she and Carlos would do overnight
Hailey came at the thought of Carlos doing her. Panting and still settling her emotions, she said under her breath, “Tonight is the night, my love. I love you so much… Carlos.”
