“You’re still laughing! Why are you guys so shameless?”
Alayna Cole scowled, “Just tell me if you want to get scolded. I’ll cover Stella’s ears first.”
Hearing this, Kevin Jackman sighed helplessly and took a look at the little girl beside Alayna, “There’s something behind this. It isn’t what you look like. But I think she is not suitable to hear it.”
“Why not?” Alayna and Stella Downey asked at the same time.
Stella pouted with her childish voice echoing in the room, “Mommy said that only bad things that couldn’t let others hear. What bad things are you going to tell Alayna that I shouldn’t hear?”
Kevin gave a wry glance, touching his nose, “Alright then. Anyway, this matter is for their own good. So I’m not hiding it from you too. But don’t you pour fuel on the fire. It’s not a big deal actually.”
“What do you mean?”
“About this matter, Joseph did it deliberately, no other purpose. Just only to make up to Hayden.”
“Bullshit. Do you guys make up to someone by going a vacation with another woman?”
“This is obviously a fake news.” Kevin explained, “There are only two methods for making up to someone. One is to give her an out, while the other one is to let her feel threatened. We’ve tried giving Hayden an out but it was useless. So Joseph just used this as the last attempt.”
Alayna wrinkled her eyebrows and remained silent for a while after hearing his words. She stared at Kevin and asked, “Who came up with this bad idea?”
Alayna sent a chill up Kevin’s spine, “Of course… it’s Joseph’s idea. Don’t look at me. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Shame on you guys.” Alayna said unceremoniously, “You guys always putting us off the scent but never reflect on yourself for doing something wrong. You are so shameless. Let’s go, Stella.”
“Hey, don’t be mad. Don’t you ever tell this to Hayden. You promised me just now.”
“I won’t say.” Alayna gave Kevin a stare, “But Stella will.”
“Mommy hates liars the most!” Stella snorted and set off with Alayna.
Kevin was dumbfounded on the spot.
This matter fell between two stools. If Joseph knew about it, he would kill him. Kevin had to hide before things went shit.
...
The next day at work, Hayden arrived at her workplace and saw all the women gathering and whispering. Hayden could guess out what they were talking about.
“Do you all have nothing to do? Are the client data input? Are the rooms checked? Are the reservation information verified?”
All the staff fled away as Hayden stood at the office entrance, accusing them. Then Hayden entered her office without even looking back.
Her assistant, Jeff, knocked on the door and came in, looking at her nervously, “Ms. Downey, this is the client data.”
“Put it down.”
Jeff dawdled for a moment, “Ms. Downey, you’re so excellent and could have found a better man.”
Hearing this, Hayden was pissed off, “You little brat. Had I indulge you to being so garrulous? You are always nothing to do and keep gossiping like those women. Get back to your work.”
“I’m going now.” Jeff nodded and left in a hurry.
Everyone in the hotel was giving her a meaningful look the whole morning.
