Chapter 10
Chapter 10:.
Within seconds, Hayden stood upright and looked up. When his eyes caught sight of the man’s distant face, he absently turned his head to the side and cursed. Was N-Town so small? Why was it that whenever he took the elevator he always ran into Joseph Beckham like that?
Michelle asked, “Are you okay? Hayden.”
Hayden clenched his fists. Ever since they had entered the elevator, Michelle had been bragging and teasing her, it would be a bigger annoyance if she knew she didn’t have a boyfriend. But what bothered her most was that the man she was meeting for the third time was obviously watching the fun!
With a second thought, Hayden suddenly grabbed Joseph’s shoulder the next moment intimately. He could clearly feel the man’s body freeze as she moved closer to him and he was overjoyed. Then he said in an affectionate tone of voice, “Honey, were you going to surprise me by secretly waiting inside the elevator? You’re such a bad boy…”.
Except Hayden, the rest of the four people inside the elevator were startled. Michelle even gritted her teeth in hatred, that man was exceptionally handsome, he looked dashing and cool. From the suit he was wearing, he must have been a big boss.How could Hayden get together with such a handsome and rich man?
Then he smiled, “Oh Hayden, he didn’t even look at you when you got in the elevator, how could he be your boyfriend? You’re just pretending he’s your boyfriend, You should at least discuss the script of the play with your actor beforehand!”.
Feeling anxious, Hayden secretly glanced at Joseph. She was a little unsure of the man’s thinking and dared not speak further. The man raised his head slightly arrogantly and said dryly, “So, how much money do you think she should spend on hiring me to act for her?”
Hayden gaped – had he admitted he was her boyfriend?
Logan, who was quick to analyze the situation, quickly pretended to flip through some papers and said in an audible voice, “Mr. Beckham, this is the speech for the celebratory event….”
“Mr. Beckham?” Michelle failed to control the volume of her voice and let out a shrill squeak. Was the man in front of her really Joseph Beckham? She hadn’t had the honor of seeing him in person, but she had heard a lot about him. Joseph Beckham had always avoided contact with women.
Some ignorant cooperative partners wanted to give him a wife, but his business relationships with Joseph all broke down under his wrath, and the company went bankrupt in a single night. Suddenly he had a son a few years ago, but the mother was never mentioned, everyone talked about it. Tons of women in the city wanted to become his son’s stepmother, but no one could get close to him. Now, however…
Seeing Hayden in the arms of another man, especially when he was everywhere better than him, Kingsley pulled a long face.noveldrama
Michelle couldn’t take it anymore and nearly dragged Kingsley out of the elevator as soon as they reached their floor. Then she smiled awkwardly, “Then I’ll be looking forward to having you and Mr. Beckham at our engagement banquet until then, Hayden.”
Hayden only heaved a sigh of relief as the elevator door closed once again. Joseph glared at her and said, “You were bold enough to defy me then, but now you behave like a coward in front of others?”
His oppressive aura pressed down on Hayden and she dared not move a muscle. She pressed her back hard against the wall and clenched her fingers. “You can talk, but don’t get so close to me when you talk!”.
She was nervous. She seemed to be tongue-tied and stammered.
That woman was the same as she was five years ago! Joseph’s gaze turned somber. He never liked the insecure feeling of not being able to take control of something. But the woman in front of him was capable of making him lose control over and over again.
“Didn’t you get too close to me in the elevator that day – didn’t you say you didn’t do it on purpose?”
“Who said otherwise? That day I was in a hurry, and that was an accident!”.
