“Are you sure it was Lachlan? Did you mistake him for somebody else?”
“No, I’m very sure of what I saw.”
It was already at midnight. On the first floor of a luxury villa located in the west of the town, Jason took away the wine glass from Viola with doubt on his face, “Enough. Stop drinking. Even though it was Lachlan, Joseph would still see you. That could probably mean he didn’t say anything to Joseph. Everything could still be fine.”
“Are you saying that he approached Joseph with purpose?” A thought came across Viola’s mind. Tipsiness showed on her finely sculptured feature. She looked at Jason, “He wanted to threaten me?”
“I think so. Didn’t Lachlan like money a lot? God knows if he is trying to threaten us when he approaches Joseph. Furthermore, he didn’t have any evidence about that night.”
“What do we do now?”
“Instead of hiding, why don’t we offer him something? There is nothing that money can’t do.”
Looking at the assured look on Jason’s face, Viola slowly calmed down.
Jason was right. Lachlan loved money. There nothing he wouldn’t do if they offer him enough amount of money.
…
The next morning, Hayden awakened by the alarm clock. She jumped down from her bed when she saw the time on the clock, “It’s already 8.30?”
Joseph walked out from behind the screen. He was wearing a white shirt and trousers. He looked at Hayden with a cup of coffee in his hand, “You have twenty-five minutes to get ready.”
Hayden was pissed off. She came out of the bed and looked for clothes to wear, “It’s all your fault…”
“My fault?” Joseph took a sip of the coffee and looked at Hayden ambiguously.
Hayden picked a piece of workplace dress and glared at Joseph, “You woke up, but you didn’t wake me up.”
“As your boyfriend, I don’t think it is my fault for wanting to let you rest more.”
“Then don’t blame me for being late to work,” Hayden rolled her eyes at Joseph and went into the bathroom.
Joseph continued talking outside of the bathroom.
“As your superior, I have to be strict with my subordinates.”
Hayden snapped and replied, “Oh, you are so good at adapting your role at work and after work then.”
“Thank you.”
That wasn’t a compliment! Hayden felt speechless. She secretly cursed Joseph in her heart and quickly put her makeup on.
Hayden accidentally stepped on the cheongsam last night when she came out of the bathroom. She frowned, “What do we do with it?”
“I have people to clean up the place later. I will ask them to send it to the tailor.”
“Can it be fixed?” Hayden highly doubted the possibility of fixing the cheongsam. After all, it had been tear up to where the underarm was. The cheongsam was deformed.
“It doesn’t matter whether it could be fixed. It is a memento.”
Hayden was confused, “Memento?”
“Memento of last night.”
“…”
Hayden was stunned before she realized what Joseph was saying. Her face was flushed red, and she ran out of the room. Joseph must be restraining himself for too long before this. He turned into an animal now that his lust and desires were unleashed. Look at how frequently they slept together after they were officially in a relationship.
The itinerary of the day was to visit the H Garden. The H Garden was located only two kilometres away from the ST Hotel. Hayden was in-charged in introducing the place in English. Her perfect and fluent American accent beat all the other translators the visitors brought.
