The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 59

“Alright, I’ll stop bothering the both of you.”

A sound was heard when the chair rubbed against the floor as Harrison stood up suddenly. He smiled and looked at Hayden.

“Hayden, do come to my place and play when you are free. I’ll arrange someone to handle things about the wedding. You can directly contact me if anything happens.”

In fact, Hayden had a lot to tell, but in that instance, she couldn’t say a word. She stared at Harrison’s back as he left, leaving her and Joseph staring at each other.

“I’ll send you back.”

After the dinner, Joseph took the initiative to send her home. Hayden was not willing to do so, but she wanted to clarify about what had happened today. She felt uneasy to talk about it when the servants were around and inside the car will be a good spot to talk about it. Hence, she did not reject his request.

As the car drove out of the mansion area, the atmosphere in the car still remained dull and boring.

Hayden lowered her head, staring at her handphone. She was swiping Weibo(micro-blog), but she did not focus on the content at all.

“Should I turn right at the next exit?”

Joseph’s voice suddenly came into her ears as he asked casually.

Hayden froze for a few seconds and then she nodded, “Yes.”

The car stopped in front of a red light before turning into the exit. The red light had 60 seconds left before it would turn green. Joseph’s slender fingers were gripping on the steering wheel, his right index finger was tapping on it unrhythmically.

Suddenly, he asked, “I have something to ask you about what had happened last night.”

Hayden felt like the touch was still lingering in her hands. He couldn’t help to compare her with the girl he met six years ago. The feeling was too familiar, which he could not forget till now.

“Last night.”

Hayden’s body turned stiff. She grasped her fingers and spoke stiffly, “There’s nothing to worry about last night.”

Joseph’s fingers stopped tapping on the wheel.

“Erm.” Hayden sniffed and pretended to be okay about it.

“We are drunk last night, and we are grown-ups now. Don’t take it too seriously. I also know that you are getting married with Viola, so you don’t need to feel uneasy about this. I, I wouldn’t want you to be responsible about anything, I’m not that kind of person.”

Joseph tightened his grip so hard that a hollow appeared on the leather cover of the wheel. His face was still expressionless, but his tone turned cold suddenly.

“Get out of the car.”

“What?”

“Didn’t you just said that you don’t need me to be responsible about anything? To avoid others from any misunderstanding, you can leave the car now.”

Anger could be slightly felt from his cold voice and his voice echoed in the car.

Hayden finally sobered up.

She held her bag and stood beside the road, watching Joseph’s car leaving without any hesitation. Finally, all the expression and attitude she disguised collapsed, she stopped pretending to be okay about it. She sat down in the corner of the flower bed like a deflated balloon.

Why were all these things happening?

…

“What? She stayed overnight in Imperial Villa?”

In the dressing room at the backstage of the show, Viola turned around suddenly to look at her assistant behind her. Her face was full of disbelief.

The make-up artist was also shocked by her sudden action and the lip brush on her hand slipped across Viola’s lips, leaving a long stretch of red lipstick mark on it. She immediately apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t mean it…”

Viola snatched the brush in the make-up artist’s hand and threw it roughly onto the ground. She scolded, “Where did you come from? You don’t even know how to do make-up, are you tired of your job?”

“If the set up is done at night and interrupts the guests, we will only receive more complaints. She is right to arrange the work to be done during the day. Moreover, the lobby can be set up according to different areas during the day. The impact won’t be too great, so just leave it to her. You just need to report the progress on time.”

“Alright.”

Only then, Magnus finally understand Hayden’s intention of arranging the set up during the day. This made him admire and respect her a little more.

“By the way, I’ve something to ask you.”

“Just say.”

Joseph’s eyes sank a little.

“The girl who was a surrogate six years ago, where is she now?”

“Surrogate?”

Magnus was slightly stunned, not knowing why Joseph would suddenly bring up such an old story. He hesitated for a moment and said respectfully, “In Austria. Back then, her father still died of cancer shortly after she took the money. According to Caesar’s instructions, she was sent to the airport, sent to Austria to study abroad. Then, she finished her studies three years ago and married to a Chinese expatriate there.”

“That detailed?”

“After all, she is the young master’s birth mother. Just in case you asked about it someday, so I’ve been keeping an eye on it.”

Magnus was a little apprehensive. Joseph had not instructed him to do so, but he had been working with him for seven years. Naturally, he was used to doing things with more consideration.

Joseph did not suspect anything from his words because Magnus had been by his side as an assistant since the day he took over ST Group. Moreover, Magnus was the one who was responsible for the arrangement of the surrogate girl together with the butler Caesar. Hence, if there was anything wrong with the surrogate girl back then, Magnus would surely tell him unless Magnus didn’t know about it at all.

Hence, the only person who knew the inside story would be Caesar.

Joseph felt more and more suspicious about the fact that Caesar had suddenly resigned and retired after sending Noah to his side.

“Go to Nanxi Town and find the old steward and bring him to me. I have something to ask him.”
