Within just a few seconds, Hayden stood straight and looked up. When her eyes touched the man’s
aloof face, she secretly turned her head to the side and cursed. Was City N that small? Why did she
always encounter Joseph Beckham with such a way whenever she took the lift?
Michelle asked, “Are you alright? Hayden.” Hayden clenched her fists. Ever since they entered the lift,
Michelle had been showing off and teasing her. She could not be more complacent if she knew she did
not have a boyfriend. What annoyed her more was the man who she had met the third time was
obviously watching the fun!
With a second thought, Hayden suddenly held Joseph’s shoulder the next moment intimately. She
could clearly sense the man’s body freezing when she approached him and she was greatly delighted.
She then said with an affectionate tone of voice, “Darling, are you going to give me a surprise by
secretly waiting inside the lift? You’re such a bad boy...”
Except Hayden, the rest of the four people inside the lift were all startled. Michelle even gritted her
teeth in hatred. That man was exceptionally good-looking. He looked elegant and cool. From the suit
he was wearing, he must be a big boss. How could Hayden be able to hook up with such a man with
good looks and great wealth?
She then smiled. “Oh Hayden, he didn’t even look at you when you enter the lift, how could he be your
boyfriend? You’re just pretending that he’s your boyfriend, but you should at least discuss the script of
the play with your actor beforehand!”
Feeling anxious, Hayden secretly glimpsed at Joseph. She was slightly unsure of the man’s thought
and she did not dare to speak further. The man slightly raised his head in arrogance and said icily and
curtly, “So just how much money do you think she should spend to hire me to act for her?” Hayden was
dumbfounded. Had he admitted he was her boyfriend? Logan who was quick in analyzing the situation
quickly pretended to flip through some documents and said with an audible voice, “Mr. Beckham, this is
the speech for the celebration event…”
“Mr. Beckham?” Michelle did not manage to control the volume of her voice and she let out a shrill. The
man before her was actually Joseph Beckham? She did not have the honor to see him in real person,
but she did hear a lot of his rumors. Joseph Beckham had always avoided contact with women.
Some ignorant cooperative partners wanted to give him a spouse but their business relationship with
Joseph were all broken under his rage, and the firm bankrupted in just one night. He suddenly had a
son few years ago but the mother was never mentioned, and everyone was gossiping about it. Tons of
women in the city wanted to become the stepmom of his son, but nobody could come close to him. Yet
now…
Seeing Hayden in other man’s arms, especially when the man was everywhere better than him,
Kingsley pulled down a long face. Michelle could not endure it anymore, she almost dragged Kingsley
out of the lift the moment they reached their designated floor. She then smiled awkwardly, “Then I’ll be
looking forward to have you and Mr. Beckham at our engagement banquet until then, Hayden.”
Hayden only heaved a sigh of relief when the door of the lift closed once more. Joseph glimpsed at her
and said, “You’re bold enough to challenge me back then, but now you’re behaving like a coward in
front of other people?” His oppressive aura pressurized Hayden and she did not dare to move a
muscle. She pressed her back tightly against the wall and clenched her ten fingers. “You can talk, but
don’t come so close to me when you talk!” She was nervous. Her tongue seemed to have tied up and
she stammered.
That woman was just like the same woman from five years ago! Joseph’s look turned gloomy. He never
liked the insecure feeling of not being able to take control of something. But the woman before him was
able to make him lose control over and over again. “Didn’t you come way closer to me in the lift that
day? And you’re saying you didn’t do that on purpose?”
“Who said that? I was in a hurry that day, and that was an accident!”
