Chapter 5
Chapter 5:.
Someone shouted in surprise, “Who are you, why are you using the executive’s elevator?”
“Sorry, I’m here for an interview and I’m in a hurry.” Hayden wanted to get up as he spoke, but due to the rush his long wavy hair got stuck to the person’s button. His scalp ached from the tug and he pulled back, his hands pressing against the man’s chest.
As if receiving an electric shock, he apologized, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to.”
Inside the elevator there was a two-second silence.
The people in the elevator let out a small laugh. However, due to the presence of that important person, they forced themselves to hold back their laughter and quickly covered their mouths when they saw his somber look.
Joseph obviously froze and inevitably furrowed his eyebrows. He hadn’t encountered something so absurd before.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…. Could you help me?” Hayden was anxious to untangle her hair, but it was getting more stuck as she moved and her hands were beginning to sweat.
Joseph still felt that the woman looked familiar, although it was clear he had never met her before. And a very misophobic person like him didn’t really feel at ease with many people.
He kept silent for a second and agreed to her request. He lowered his head and untied the strands of hair with his delicate fingers. “Don’t move, relax.” He told her in a cold, distant voice.
That voice… It sounded familiar! Hayden was startled. Then he remembered the night five years ago. In the dim light, he opened his eyes in confusion. Although he couldn’t see the man’s gaze clearly, he could vaguely make out his thin, rosy lips. “Thank you.”
She got no response and secretly looked at him out of curiosity. That man was wearing an expensive handmade suit. He had a pair of long, attractive legs, his pursed lips were beautiful, showing his arrogant and aloof personality.
“Miss.” Her assistant reacted quickly. Having thought about her fall towards Mr. Beckham, she spoke coldly, “She said she’s in a hurry, but I guess she just wants to flirt with the president.”
Flirt? Hayden was still stunned, and the man next to her actually lowered his head slightly and gave her a sidelong glance.
He’d had a lot of women around him these past few years, and indeed, there were many who were racking their brains trying to get close to him. But since what had happened five years before, he had been unable to develop any interest in women. The only woman he had ever had contact with was the woman that night, who was also the mother of his child.
Thinking about the brazen action of the woman a moment ago, it seemed that she wanted to approach him on purpose. Coldness and disgust then slowly appeared from his eyes. In reality, he had almost been deceived by the woman in front of him.
Hayden felt unhappy at once. “I said I was in a hurry, why are you looking at me like that?”. Actually, she felt grateful when he helped her.noveldrama
“Logan,” the man ignored her and said frigidly to his assistant, “Push the level button.”
Logan Reynolds pressed the button for the nearest level. When the elevator door opened, he motioned for Hayden to step out. “Please get out of here and please don’t use such a trick next time, miss.”
“Oh come on, I really don’t…”. Hayden wanted to defend himself, but the attendant asked him to get out of the elevator with a forceful attitude.
Hayden gritted his teeth and shot Joseph a withering look. He stepped out of the elevator and still grumbled under his breath, “Who does he think he is, why should I flirt with him? Pat…”
Her voice was still audible and fear flashed across Logan’s face Was the wannabe looking for trouble?
The strong ruthless aura of the man next to her made her limbs tremble and she dared not look at him. Then she said in a trembling voice, “I’ll call the security guard to come take care of this!”.
“Forget it!” As the elevator door closed, Joseph also regained his calm gaze. The woman’s words still lingered in his ears and, in fact, he inexplicably developed a slight interest in the woman.How nice!
He narrowed his eyes and his voice was much deeper and colder than before. He wanted to see how excellent the woman’s performance would be in the interview. “Call Joshua and tell him I’ll be at the 10 a.m. interview.”
“Yes, Mr. Beckham.”
Meanwhile, Hayden had arrived in the reception room. Seeing the crowded room, he suddenly felt a surge of pressure. The number of applicants was much larger than he thought. He found a random spot and stood there, a few women chatting next to him.
“Hey did you know that Mr. Beckham is also coming for the interview today?”.
