“Mr. Hayden, Mr. Kevin is here,” announced Hayden’s secretary respectfully.
Hayden did not turn around. She just waved her hand, indicating that her secretary could go out.
The secretary invited Kevin to sit down on the sofa in the waiting area of the office and once again went to pour a glass of warm water for him. Afterward, he quietly left the CEO’s office and closed the door for Hayden and Kevin.
Once the secretary left, Kevin got up and walked to Hayden’s side. He extended his hand toward her.
Hayden turned to look at him in confusion.
“Mr. Hayden, give me a cigarette to smoke. I haven’t smoked for a long time, and seeing you smoke makes me want to smoke too.”
Hayden kept quiet for a while before she fished out a pack of cigarettes. She pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Kevin.
“Lend me your lighter.”
Kevin borrowed a lighter from Hayden.
He seldom smoked because Serenity and Jasmine did not like the smell of tobacco. Moreover, Zachary and Josh were quitting smoking. This made the other men of the Yorks think that their fiancée might not like the smell of tobacco too.
Hence, a few of them also did not smoke as frequently as before.
As for Josh, ever since Jasmine was pregnant, he stopped smoking and drinking.
Zachary and Serenity were always trying to conceive, so Zachary also stopped smoking and drinking.
“The lighter is on the table. Go get it yourself,” Hayden responded.
Kevin turned and walked toward her desk. He saw a lighter that looked like a tiny car on her desk.
While lighting his cigarette, he said, “Hayden, your lighter is quite special. People who don’t know would think it’s a small toy car.”
