“If Benjamin decides not to go with me, perhaps Joey in the company is also ok.”
“You even have considered Joey ?”
Joseph’s face became dark.
“What are you thinking when you talk in front of me about you taking other men to the party?”
Hearing this sullen voice, Hayden was aware that she got herself in a serious trouble.
The next second, they exchanged position. Joseph pressed Hayden on the pillow, looking at her.
“That’s not what I mean.”
Hayden pushed his chest, “Don’t be angry. I’m afraid you’re embarrassed, and I’m asking for your
advice now.”
“So you want me to help you select a male companion?”
He said in a dismal tone.
Hayden retorted.
“If you don’t go, I have to find someone to go with me.”
“Did I say I don’t go?” Joseph looked down at her. The quilt on his shoulder was like a mountain, which
made Hayden unable to move.
She was worried about him to be mocked at in the party, so she considered so much. But he
misunderstood her. Hayden said with grievance, “I worry about you, but you...”
Seeing Joseph’s aggressive appearance, she suddenly got more aggrieved. She swallowed her
unspoken words. She turned her head and said, “Forget it, whatever I say will not make sense.”
Joseph was stunned for a moment, and slowly lay down beside her. When he wanted to hold her again,
she struggled. She was unwilling to talk to him.
Thinking of his situation now, Joseph was regretful for his bad attitude just now.
“I know you care about me, but I care more about our own life. If we don’t fall in love with each other, I
will never mind who you go to the party with. But we are a couple now, so your male companion will be
no one else, but me.”
Hayden didn’t give a respond, so he came closer and said in a deep voice, “I’m worried you don’t love
me, so I mind so much when you are talking about other guys. But the business party is not as simple
as you think. I will worry about you so much if I am not with you.”
Hayden was still silent. Just when Joseph had nothing to do, she said in a hoarse voice, “But we
cannot take Noah and Stella there together.”
The worry in Joseph’s eyes faded away in an instant. “You have said Benjamin has time.”
Hearing his words, Hayden turned around and said crossly.
“Do you really take Benjamin as your nanny?”
“Doesn’t he?”
Joseph raised his brows.
Benjamin followed Hayden every day, with a fair excuse for protecting her and investigating. In fact,
Joseph knew that Benjamin liked Hayden. But to Joseph, while Benjamin was protecting Hayden, he
can also protect her children.
At 7:30 the next evening, the AW business party was held on the top floor of LF Building, the most
luxurious hotel in Nanking City. There was a long red carpet at the hotel gate. Most of the attendees
were social elites. The AW Group was a media company, so many stars were also invited. The
journalists were proud to have the invitation letter, and those without invitation letters could not come
into the hotel.
Hayden and Joseph stepped on the red carpet hand in hand. With smiles on their face, they whispered
to each other.
“This business party becomes a film festival. Cleveland doesn’t have to be so excessive if he wants to
make Freddie a star.”
Joseph thought for a while.
“It’s not just for Freddie. In this way, AW will be more popular. The movie industry is soaring in recent
years, so he has done it right. It’s eye-catching enough.”
“Why he doesn’t make his love with Freddie public? It will be more eye-catching?” Hayden curled her
lips.
Hayden had no problems with the secret love between Cleveland and Freddie, after all, the fans at
home appeared to be disapproving of their love. Moreover, if Freddie went public with his love with
Cleveland, he would be unemployed and even be banished.
But recently, the news about Cleveland’s affairs with different women was reported successively.
Hayden felt mad at him.
Joseph was clear why Hayden was mad at Cleveland, but he didn’t excuse his behavior. He grew up
with Cleveland, and they were friends since childhood. But they also competed since childhood, so he
had helped Cleveland by not talking bad about him. As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Freddie
came to them.
“Sister, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
“There’s a traffic jam. And we have to wait in line to walk down the aisle.” Hayden took a thoughtful look
at Cleveland behind him. Cleveland always followed Freddie like a tail.
“He got a screw loose.” Freddie rolled eyes at Cleveland crossly.
“Sister, you keep with me later, and don’t walk around, or you will be annoyed when you see someone.”
“What’s wrong?” Hayden was puzzled.
Speaking of this, Freddie took another look at Cleveland and said in a bad tone, “My sister is asking
you.”
Hayden was a little helpless. She was obviously asking Freddie, not Cleveland.
But Cleveland was not angry. He just said in a plain voice, “I think it’s better to have a friend rather than
an enemy in business scope. I believe Mrs. Downey could understand me, right?”
“Don’t label my sister. You just speak up that you’ve invited the two bitches, Kingsley and Michelle.”
Hearing the two names, Hayden and Joseph frowned almost at the same time, with an impatient look.
“They’re here, too?” Hayden asked with a frown.
Cleveland nodded. He looked around and didn’t find the two “bitches”. He said, “They are here, but
they don’t seem to come together.”
“What do you mean?” Hayden didn’t understand.
Kingsley was invited for the sake of the West Group. The power of the AW Group was close to the ST
Group in Nanking City. It was a great honor to be invited for the West Group as a small and micro
enterprises. Michelle’s family was not rich, so she would never have an invitation of such a party if she
didn’t come here with Kingsley. Hayden was a little puzzled.
The three looked at Cleveland. He pushed his glasses, then said thoughtfully.
“Kingsley didn’t come with his wife, but a celebrity of our company. And his wife came with his elder
brother. That’s interesting.”
Hayden was stunned for a moment, and then frowned more tightly.
She hadn’t met Kingsley and Michelle since their engagement dinner. She ever heard that they didn’t
get along well with each other, but it never occurred to her that they didn’t even bother to play a
husband and a wife.
