After being pissed off by Kevin Jackman, Hayden Downey went back to the company to work an extra night shift. She was called out by Edison Godfery for breakfast early in the following day, yawning.
It was 7.30 a.m. and still not yet the peak time for buying breakfast at the food stalls. Even if it was, nobody would be like Hayden and Edison, eating at the table leisurely.
Hayden was so tired. Edison put the peeled eggs on the small plate in front of her, “You look so tired. Not having a good sleep last night?”
“I didn’t sleep.” Hayden waved her hand, yawning again, “I slept for a while at five in the morning. But the office environment is too simple, and the sofa is very uncomfortable. I woke up before you called me.”
“You need to take it slow for running a business. There is no need to overuse energy at the beginning.”
Edison, as an experienced person, was advising Hayden with sincerity.
However, Hayden was ungrateful, and she dredged up his past, “Knock it off. Five years ago when I worked as a cleaning lady in your company, I always saw you working overtime. The boss’s office light was always on all night, and we thought you might be a robot.”
“Even a robot needs to be charged.”
Edison smiled, not minding the rehashing of the old stories, “What’s more, you have seen an actual bad example, haven’t you? After working so desperately, in the end, the company was lack of fund and almost bankrupt. If you hadn’t saved me in time, perhaps I’m still sleeping in the subway station in the United States right now.”
“Then the American subway does stifle talents.”
Hayden drank the soy milk, and she could still joke around, despite her bad mood, “How about me going over there and see if I can seek a few talented people like Warren Buffett.”
“You’re still able to joke, so this means that you’re not down in spirits yet.” Edison sized her with a warm smile, “Don’t you want to know why did I come to you so early in the morning?”
“Why?” Hayden asked lazily, not even concealing her perfunctory nature.
Edison didn’t mind either, and he said faintly, “I think you should spend more time with Alayna during this period. After all, she will return to the United States with me in two days. And then it won’t be as easy for you to see her as it is now.”
“What?”
Hayden was shocked, “You’re taking Alayna back to America? Did he agree to it?”
“I think it wasn’t considered as agreed. After all, it was her boyfriend who came to me to seek my help.”
Hayden was completely shaken up, “So it was Kevin himself who contacted you and told you that he had decided to let Alayna go to America for treatment?”
“Yes.”
Hayden was speechless after receiving the affirmative answer.
Wasn’t he a masochist? Kevin did not take himself seriously when Hayden initially spoke nicely, and he reacted so violently, having such a bad attitude. After scolding him right on the face, Kevin then came personally to him. Was he a jerk?
“When are you leaving?”
After settling down, Hayden asked with a straight face.
“Before the end of this month.” Edison explained, “Letting you have more time to farewell Alayna.”
“For me? I’m afraid the other one not even intend to leave a single moment for me.” Hayden was eating the egg, looking faintly.
“Who? Kevin?” Edison smiled mischievously, “Then you’re overthinking it. Kevin was planning to go together with Alayna.”
“Huh?” Hayden’s jaw dropped, “Really?”
“Of course. Otherwise, why would he come to me personally? He was just asking me if the psychiatric hospital that I arranged, can let the family member live with.”
“He wants to stay in the hospital too?”
At that time at Kevin’s house, Hayden witnessed Kevin thundering in front of her that the mental hospitals and rehabilitation centres were not good to live in. Even a normal person would turn crazy staying in those places.
Kevin would be bold to overcome anything for Alayna Cole.
