President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

Chapter 5: Interest

Someone shouted in surprise, “Who are you? Why are you taking the exec’s lift?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“I’m sorry, I’m here for an interview and I’m in a hurry.” Hayden wanted to get up as she spoke, but due to the rush her long wavy hair was stuck onto the person’s button. Her scalp ached from the pull and she fell back, her hands pressing against the man’s chest. As if being given an electric shock, she apologized, “I, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it!” The inner space of the lift then suddenly went into two seconds of silence.

The people in the lift then burst out small laughter the next moment. Yet due to the presence of that important person, they forced back their laughter and quickly covered their mouth when they saw his grim look. Joseph obviously froze and he inevitably wrinkled his eyebrows. He had not encountered such an absurd thing before. “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry…Could, could you lend me a hand?” Hayden was so anxious to get her hair off but her hair got stuck deeper as she moved and her palms were starting to sweat.

Joseph kept on feeling that that woman gave him a sense of familiarity, yet he had clearly not met her before. And a severely mysophobic person like him did not actually feel disgusted. He kept quiet for a second and consent to her request. He lowered his head and untied the hair strands with his delicate fingers. “Don’t move, relax,” he said with a cold and aloof voice.

That voice…sounded familiar! Hayden was startled. She then remembered the night five years ago. Under the dim light, she opened her eyes amidst confusion. Although she could not see the man’s looks clearly, she could vaguely see his rosy thin lips. “Thank you.” She did not get a response and she secretly glimpsed at him out of curiosity. That man was wearing an expensive handmade suit. He had a pair of attractive long legs and his pursed lips were beautiful, showing his arrogant and distant personality.

“Miss.” The assistant quickly reacted. Having thought of her fall towards Mr. Beckham, he spoke coldly, “You said you’re in a hurry, but I suppose you only want to hit on the president?” Hit? Hayden was still in a daze, and the man beside her actually slightly lowered his head and glimpsed at her from the corner of his eyes.

He had had many women around him these years and there were indeed a lot of women racking their brain trying to approach him. But since what happened five years ago, he had been unable to develop any interest towards women. The only woman who he had come in contact with would be the woman from that night, who was also the mother of his son.

Thinking back of the woman’s blatant action just now, it did seem that she wanted to approach him on purpose. The coldness and disgust were then slowly showed from his eyes. He was actually nearly deceived by the woman before him.

Hayden felt unhappy at once. “I said I was in a hurry, why are you looking at me like that?” She actually felt grateful from the bottom of her heart when he helped her. “Logan,” the man ignored her and said to his assistant frigidly, “Press the level button.”

Logan Reynolds pressed the button with the nearest level. After the lift door opened, he gestured Hayden to leave. “Please go out from here, and please don’t use such a trick next time, miss.”

“Oh come on, I really didn’t…” Hayden wanted to defend for herself, but the assistant asked her to get out of the lift with a strong attitude. Hayden gritted her teeth and shot Joseph a glare. She left the lift and still complained softly, “Who does he think he is, why should I hit on him? Pat…” Her voice was still audible and fear was all over Logan’s face. Was the applicant looking for trouble?

The strong ruthless aura from the man beside him made his limbs shivered and he did not dare to look at him. He then said with a trembling voice, “I’ll call the security guard to come handle this!”

“Forget about it!” As the lift door closed, Joseph also retrieved his gaze. The woman’s words still lingered on his ears and he actually inexplicably developed a slight of interest towards the woman. Very good! He half narrowed his eyes and his voice was way deeper and colder than before. He did want to see how excellent the woman’s performance would be in the interview. “Call Joshua and tell him I’ll go for the 10 am interview.”

“Yes, Mr. Beckham.”

Meanwhile, Hayden had reached the reception room. Seeing the room compacted with people, she suddenly felt a rush of pressure. The number of applicants was way greater than she thought. She randomly found a position and stood there, a few women were chitchatting beside her.

“Hey, did you know, Mr. Beckham will come for today’s interview too!”
