Hayden was standing at the door for a while and then she covered him with a warm carpet from the sofa.
“Hayden…” Joseph opened his eyes, looking a little confused.
After knowing the girl in front of him was Hayden, he sat up and checked the time by his watch. “It’s so early. Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Hayden nodded, “No, I just had too much Japanese cuisine.”
He held her hands firmly and said unpleasantly,
“Your hands are so cold. You should have more clothes.”
“It’s fine. Our offices here are warm.”
“But it’s cold outside.” Then he seemed to think of something and loosed her hands to find a hot-water bag from a drawer. He pressed the button of it and gave it to Hayden.
“Hold that, and you will be warm later.”
Hayden took it over and she felt much warmer gradually. Examining the pattern on the blue bag, she asked, “You bought this?”
Joseph was calm, “It’s from my assistant. She gave it to me as Noah’s Christmas gift.”
In the past, Noah and Stella came to the company and the one who took care of them was an intern who was a girl at her twenties and later became Joseph’s secretary.
Hearing his answer, Hayden directed a meaningful look at Joseph, “But you know, her target is you.” The girl must want to have more connections with Joseph by sending the so-called Christmas gift.
After the gift, she could continue to ask whether Noah liked it or not and gave another present such as a hat or a scarf with the same pattern.
Joseph frowned, “Why?”
“She wants to have a relationship with you. You know, maybe something like office romance. Has she asked you the same question?”
“Yes, she has.”
“Now, you see.”
“I told her that I didn’t give it to Noah because it read that those children who were under 5 years old were banned to use it.”
She guessed how Joseph’s face was like by his words when he responded to the girl. Hayden was silent for a few moments and then said,
“It’s perhaps tired to be your secretary. You can consider rewarding her with a higher salary.”
Ordinary people would show their affection on the gift they received in a polite manner since the gift was a kind of compliments. But Joseph behaved in the other way, very particular about the gift.
It’s obvious that the girl wouldn’t give him anything in a short time.
