Sierra was doing it on purpose.
No matter how many times she strolled past Shaun, he treated her as if she were invisible. She figured she
would just have to create an “accident” so they would brush up against each other.
With her sweet, innocent-looking face and a body that she knew turned heads, she refused to believe Shaun
could resist her.
After all, she’d had Gilbert wrapped around her finger back in the day.
Sierra let out a soft yelp and threw herself into a tic fall, already picturing Shaun’s strong arms catching
her.
But the longer she waited, the harder that sinking feeling got-because he wasn’t reaching for her.
Her little stunt ended with a sharp scream. She hit the ground hard, falling flat on her face.
Sierra just lay there for a second, mortified. Her whole body felt as if it had capart at the seams.
Damn. That hurt!
Right then, the dressing room door swung open, and Halsey stepped out, smiling. “All done!”
Shaun immediately walked over, slipped his arm around her waist, and asked gently, “Are you tired?”
Halsey smiled back. “Not at all-oh! Sierra, what happened?”
She finally noticed Sierra sprawled on the floor.
Sierra's face was twisted with pain and embarrassment. “I'm fine. | just twisted my ankle. Letget up.”

Halsey took a step forward. “Here, lethelp you.”
“Thanks,” Sierra said quickly, grabbing onto the chance.
Shaun pulled Halsey back by the waist. “No. You're pregnant. You need to take care of yourself, not other
people.”
Sierra froze. He wasn’t going to help her himself, and now he wouldn't even let Halsey help either?
The humiliation burned in her chest.
The store manager rushed over. “Oh, no! You fell? Con. Lethelp you up.” He gently pulled Sierra to
her feet.

Sierra rubbed her sore arm, wincing.
Halsey looked worried. “Are you sure you're okay? Do you want us to take you to the hospital?”
Sierra shook her head. “No, I'm fine, really. Just a few scrapes.’
Then she lowered her eyes, slipping into her familiar act. “I've dealt with worse. My dad... When he drinks, he
hitsand my mom. He gambles, too. I'm used to being covered in bruises. This is nothing.”
She knew playing the victim usually got people's sympathy.

Halsey glanced at Sierra. “We're leaving now. How are you getting back?”
Sierra blinked innocently. “Could | maybe ride with you guys? Would you mind droppingoff?”
This time, Shaun didn’t hesitate. “I've got work to deal with, so no. Call a ride.”
Sierra's jaw clenched. Not a single trace of gentlemanly manners from him.

Normally, anyone hearing that would insist on driving her.
But Halsey just smiled politely. “Since you can manage, then call a ride. See you tomorrow.”
