Chapter 67
Chapter 67 Joanna called so early this moming .
She must have missed him terribly after not seeing him all night , I turned my head to look out the window , feeling my throat tighten .
Soon .
I heard Hayden pick up the phone .
Humph , he really doesnt try to hide anything .
I thought to myself .
Yes , I had breakfast already .
Make sure youre prepared for todays work .
Pay attention to the tails .
Hayden answered coldly Just those few words , and I could tell Joanna was eagerly trying so bring Hayden breakfast , but with his status , she wouldnt get the chance .
The TEST words Hayden spoke were softer , and if one didnt know better , one would think they were the couple instead of him and me , The driver in the front seat didnt dare to breathe ton louilly , not wanting to get involved in any of this , probably afraid it would cause trouble .
We soon arrived at the office .
As soon as I walked in , I sensed the atmosphere was heavier than usual , Did something happen ! I wondered .
But walking beside me , Hayden looked completely at ease as if nothing was wrong .
Anxiously , I made my way upstairs , and thats when i saw Zachary leaning against the secretarys office desk , rubbing his temples with a gloomy expression Richard was standing stiffly beside him , while Joanna was sitting at her desk , crying with her for in her hands , I froze for a moment , thinking , Whats going on here ? Could Zachary be giving Joanna trouble ? Shes crying out ? Who is so bold to provoke her ? I quickly glanced at Hayden , and sure enough , I saw his jaw set tight , his ey
es deep with fury as he looked at Zachary , Whats going on Haydens voice cut through the tension At the sound of his voice , Joanna immediately stopped crying and , without a second thought , screamed .
Haydent Then she rushed toward him : The secretarys office fell silent in an instant , with only Joannas heartbroken sobs filling the air .
Richard stood motionless , clearly unfazed by the drama .
Such scenes were nothing new to him and he didnt find it unusual .
Zachary squinted his eyes , looking at me with a slight smirk , as though mocking the fact that my husband was now comforting another woman Dont cry .
What happened ? Haydens tone was always so gentle when speaking to Joanna .
L Joanna couldnt even finish a sentence , gasping for breath between her sobs It was almost as if she thought the more she cried , the more her suffering would be understood .
Hayden didnt ask further questions Instead , he looked up at Richard , silently signaling him to explain .
Richard nodded and opened his mouth to speak , but before he could , Zachary beat him to it .
Hey , Mr.
Parker , Im glad youre here .
These new secretaries this year .
their abilities are all over the place , They probably didnt even get any proper training before being thrown into the job .
The work we had scheduled for the day was confirmed two days ago , but this morning , she told everyone the meeting was tomorrow ..
And now , here I am , so early , and none of the board members are here ? Zachary briefly explained the situation , and then , as he spoke , he stood up and walked toward Hayden with a smile on his face , his tone turning pointed .
This wouldnt be your doing , would it , Mr.
Parker ? Trying to mess with me on purpose ! Each word he spoke was heavy with inten Though he was smiling , there was a venomous , sinister glint hidden deep in his eyes .
Haydens gaze turned cold as he stared at Zachary , las landsome features betraying no hint of emotion .
Chapter 67 Before Hayden could respond , Joanna quickly interjected , This isnt Haydens fault .
I didnt mean to mix up the dates .
I just pushed it back by one day , and its not a big deal , right ? As soon as I walked in .
Mr.
Swanson started yelling at me … Lately , Joanna had been obsessed with finding ways to get closer to Hayden , hoping to sleep with him and , eventually , get pregnant .
Her mind was completely off work And now , knowing the value of that cruise ship .
Joanna was seething with jealousy .
She didnt even care about the actual meeting date .
Even if she did get the dates wrong , Joanna didnt think it was a problem .
She was convinced that Hayden would always have her back , no matter what I listened closely and soon understood the entire situation .
After hearing Joannas foolish remarks , I felt even more sympathy for Hayden Could it be that he suffered a brain injury in that car accident abroad ? Otherwise , how could be possibly be with someone as stupid as her ? I thought .
She had done something wrong but instead of trying to make things right , she was just making excuses , thinking that if she cried , everything would be line .
But looking at Haydens expression , I felt a sinking sensation in my chest .
It seemed like Joma might actually get away with it Hayden didnt s I say anything at first .
Instead , he looked at Richard as if asking him to verify Zacharys words .
Richard nodded slightly .
Everything Zachary said was indeed true , The board meeting ? How come I didnt know about le Hayden smoothly changed the topic , not even addressing Joannas mistake .
I couldnt help but smile faintly .
Hayden really didnt disappointme The way he so blatantly defended her clearly showed how important Jozina was to him .
Zachary raised an eyebrow .
Mr.
Parker , you didnt know about the companys monthly meetings? Everyone else does .
Its just a simple report on each persons work .
Maybe you should pay more attention to the company , instead of always indulging in romance .
From now on no meeting will take place without my approval Hayden coldly retorted , his eyes narrowing at Zachary as though he were ready to Hill him The atmosphere , which had been somewhat tense but manageable , suddenly escalated .
My heart tightened .
Haydens words were nothing short of a declaration of war against Zachary Zachary , his face still stern , stood tall and stared back at Hayden Then , unexpectedly , he grinned maliciously .
Thats only natural .
But as for Joannas mistake .
Mr.
Parker, are you really going to just brush it under the rug If the whole company finds out how youre protecting her , they might not be so forgring Zachary could back down on the meeting issue .
After all , Hayden was the president , and he had the final say .
But since Haydens mistress had made a mistake .
Zachary wasnt about to let it slide easily .
Since I cant find fault with Hayden , 111 go after the people around him , Zachary thought to himself .
Joanna quickly hid behind Hayden , clutching his sleeve with a pitiful look on her face .
Hayden , help me ..
For a long moment , Haydens eyes darkened , and he finally responded , What do you want Its simple .
Zachary said slowly , clearly enjoying Haydens discomfort .
Since she made a mistake , she should be fired .
I dont want that ! Hayden , want to be fired ! Jona was so scared that she lost contral , crying even harder as she clung to Hayden I suddenly remembered how whenever Sophia cried like that , my father would give in to her every time .
Curious , I wondered how Hayden would handle this .
Joanna had indeed messed up the dates , and if nothing happened to her , Hayden would lose credibility .
2/3 Exclusive Pro Chapter 67 In such a large corporation , if the president handled things so unfairly , no one would be willing to truly support him .
Especially now , Zachary had a hidden agenda , keeping a close eye on the company .
No matter what Hayden did now , it would be magnified and scrutinized .
I was just watching from the sidelines , enjoying the dranu , but then Zacharys words pulled me into the battlefield directly .
Mrs.
Parker , he said , turning to me with a smile , What do you think should be done about this situation ! SEND GIFT
