The Heartbreak Prescription (Stanley and Wendy) novel Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040

Shaun was in his CEO office, going through paperwork, when Halsey’s message popped up. He replied

instantly.

[At work. What about you?]

[I’m at school. I need your help with something.]

[Go ahead.]

[Can you look into those guys who once tried to harass Zada?]

[Sure. I’ll let you know when I find something.]

That was all Halsey needed. Shaun was always decisive and fast. If he said he’d take care of it, she knew

he would.

Ding!

Another message from Shaun appeared. [Is something bothering you?]

Halsey’s lips curved into a small smile. [Thanks for asking, but I’m fine.]

[Glad to hear that.]

The heavy feeling in her chest lifted, replaced by warmth. Her mood brightened instantly. She pulled out her sketching pens and went back to working on her designs.

Before long, it was lunchtime. Halsey got up and headed to the cafeteria.

The moment she stepped in, she spotted two familiar figures–Zada and Sierra.

Zada had told Sierra to take it easy and rest, yet here Sierra was, showing up at school. Halsey definitely didn’t believe it was because she loved studying so much.

Sure enough, Sierra saw her right away and rushed over with a bright smile. “Hey. You’re here to grab lunch, too?”

Halsey had no intention of talking to her.

But Sierra reached out and grabbed her arm. “What are you getting? I’ll stand in line for you. I can go buy

it.”

Zada couldn’t take it anymore and stepped in. “Sierra, stop throwing yourself at her. Can’t you see she’s ignoring you?”

Sierra instantly put on a fragile look. “Zada, don’t say that. Halsey just misunderstood me. Once that’s cleared up, we’ll be good friends again.”

She pulled out her lunch card and turned back to Halsey.

“Let me buy you lunch. I know my family doesn’t have much, but I’ve been working hard. I’ve got three part–time jobs. Today’s on me, okay?”

Halsey almost laughed. In fact, she did. “Thanks for the offer, but you should keep your money. I don’t

need you paying for me.”

Sierra’s face crumpled in hurt. “Why not? Are you still mad at me?”

Zada rolled her eyes. “That’s enough, Sierra. You work hard for your money, and if she doesn’t want you to pay, then don’t force it. Let’s just eat.”

Sierra turned back to Halsey. “What will it take for you to forgive me?”

Halsey looked her straight in the eye. “There’s nothing to forgive. It’s not like we have some deep grudge

between us. I’m gonna get my lunch now.”

She tried to walk away.
