Hayden had a knot in her stomach as she heard Joseph talking about ‘others who don’t matter’. And suddenly, she realized that she was once an insignificant person to Joseph a few months ago.
While six years ago, Noah was also an irrelevant person to Joseph.
In Joseph’s eyes, any irrelevant people who existed or not, would never impact his life.
Hayden’s heart turned cold slowly and gradually.
The next day morning, Hayden was called by the receptionist as she just arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
“Ms. Downey, someone is looking for you.”
As the receptionist just informed her, Hayden saw a familiar person in the direction of the hotel lobby rest area. She nodded at the receptionist as a thank you and then walked over.
The one who came in a suit was Harrison’s butler, Mark. He was hale and hearty, despite being in his sixties, just like Harrison.
“Mark, why are you here?”
Seeing Hayden, Mark smiled, “It’s nothing. I’ve brought the information that you had requested.” Mark handed the Kraft paper bag in his hand and said in a low voice, “Just that, there were a lot of babysitters dismissed back then. It might take a lot of effort to find out any suspicious person.”
“It’s alright. As long as there’s a clue.” Hayden received it, “Come and have a seat in my office, Mark. I...”
“No, thanks. Harrison let me deliver this to you. I’ll leave after that.”
Saying this, Mark patted on his suit and left the hotel.
Lillian leaned out of the front desk and yelled at Hayden, who was grasping the kraft paper bag, and she was about to enter the lift,” Ms. Downey, isn’t that the Beckham family’s old butler? Why is he here for you?”
“Just to deliver something.” Hayden waved the bag in her hand and distracted Lillian, “Keep up the good work. Tidy up your badge.”
“Oh, okay.” Lillian stood straight, and she lowered her head to tidy up her badge. And when she looked up again, Hayden was already at the lift far away.
“Are you dumb, asking such a question?” Another female staff sneered at the side.
“I heard the Beckham family’s butler called Ms. Downey as Mrs. Beckham. I bet that Ms. Downey and Mr. Beckham had married.”
“Yeah. I think that the hotel will have great news very soon.”
...
At the office, Hayden called Benjamin over to her place, “This is the information that Mark gave me just now. I’ll keep the original one, and this is a copy of it. Check anything still missing?”
“Nope. It’s good.” Benjamin flipped open a few pages and said, “Later on, back at my room, I’ll summarise these data. I’ll check on these babysitters’ hometown and also their bank account status. If everything goes well, I can set off after three days to look for them personally.”
“Alright.” Hayden was still a bit worry and urged, “Just let me know if you need help.”
“Relax. It just takes time to find someone. And it’s suitable for an idle person like me.” Benjamin tilted his head, looking naive.
“Thank you for your help.” Hayden smiled, and she remembered Alayna Cole’s WeChat messages before she left home this morning, “By the way, come to my house tonight for hot pot. I didn’t have the chance yet to thank you for your help on shooting the video at the hotel.”
Benjamin hesitated for a moment, “Is Joseph coming?”
