President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

Chapter 319 The Only Thing I Can Do

She examined her own body in bath and then was relieved.

Although she had no memory of last night, her body wouldn’t lie to her.

Nothing happened last night.

After her shower, she started collecting any possible evidence in the room. It was the watch that she first laid eyes on. It had to be Lyon’s if she was mistaken.

So it was Lyon who took her to the room last night, then her clothes…

The whole thing made little sense. She couldn’t hesitate to call Lyon.

It rang for quite a long while before the call was answered. And the first thing Hayden heard was the announcement of the airport.

“Where are you, Lyon?” she frowned.

“The airport.”

Lyon sounded much more aloof than usual. He sounded like a totally different person. “I’m waiting for my flight. I’m checking in in five minutes, I’ve been waiting for your call.”

Hayden paused a second.

“What do you mean? What happened last night?”

“Nothing. That’s the only thing I can do now.” Lyon sounded conflicted. “I can’t tell you much. But you’ll find out soon. I’m sorry, Hayden, really.”

“Hello?” Hayden had more questions to ask but Lyon hung up. When she dialed him once again, she could only hear the machine.

In the airport, Lyon took a check on his phone. A message just came in, notifying him that a transfer had made into his account. He laughed, mocking himself. He took a long breath out when his assistant told him to line up. Turning his phone off, he toss his phone card into the trash bin.

He probably would never come back in this city again.

The plane left a streak in the sky above Nanking, a city where some leave in haste, the other stay to face their ordeal.

Hayden received a call from Anna after she left the hotel. Anna told her a contract they had long been negotiating over was finally concluded and asked her to sign the contact at the golf court downtown this afternoon.

So Hayden finally went back home and took another shower and changed.

When she was doing her makeup, looking into the mirror, she suddenly realized how tough she had become now. She wouldn’t have stayed calm if it was a few years ago.

How she took it was simple. It’s not a big deal if nothing happened.

2 p.m., Hayden found Anna outside the golf court looking for her.

“Right here.”

Hayden rolled the window down and beckoned at Anna.

Anna trotted and got in the car. The court was exclusive for members, Anna couldn’t get in without Hayden’s company.

“Sorry I’m a little late.”

“It’s ok, I just got here a minute ago.” Anna buckled up. “This program with HM Group Have been long negotiated. The team was going to throw in the towel but we got a call from HM Groupthis morning. They said they’re satisfied with our new quotation and agreed to sign a contact.”

“That’s it? They didn’t say anything else?” Hayden was incredulous, “I heard that HM Group is a really tricky company to do business with, their assessing team in particular. Didn’t they say anything about visiting our company?”

“No.”Anna shook her head. “That’s why I’m surprised. If they do send a team to our company, it’s going to so long a process that I fear we won’t complete the contract by the end of the year.”

“What?”Hayden took a sideway glance at Anna, smile in her eyes. “Afraid that I will make you work in the New Year’s Eve?”

“That I am afraid.” Anna smiled back. “It won’t be so big a problem for me though. I just fear that the factory would be empty in the New Year holiday. By then, who can we blame if we can supply the goods in time?”

“Who’s in charge at HM Group’s end this time?” Hayden asked.

Hayden didn’t know the details of this case for she’s scarcely involved.

“Their vice-manager of the product department, Tomas.” Anna took a quick glance around and lowered her voice. “He is tough to deal with, and kind of mean. What is he thinking to sign the contact here?”

QZ golf court was the top one court in Nanking. A vice manager who held no shares in HM Group shouldn’t been able to enter. It’s weird that he asked to sign the contract here.

But Hayden didn’t dig deep into that, weird things happen all the time in this word anyway. Trailing Anna, she entered the clubhouse.

They spotted Tomas the minute they entered. He’s tall and had a square face. Like Anna just told her, he looked like a mean person.

Anna introduced them to each other.

“Mr. Johnson. Miss Hayden.”

“Pleasure. Your reputation precedes you, Miss Hayden.” Tomas reached out his hand.

Hayden held his hand, said gravely. “I’m flattered, Mr. Johnson. I never contact you before but just let Anna do the talking. I felt bad for that. Could I invite you to our dinner tonight as an apology for my insolence?”

“Your gesture is appreciated.” Tomas smiled. “But I have a friend with me here, I think it would be better not to bother you.”

“He could come with us if he doesn’t mind.”

Hayden would invite a dozen of his friends to dinner if the contract was signed, let alone just one friend.

Tomas nodded.

“Then I guess I should not refuse anymore.”

“And the contract?”

“Don’t worry.” Tomas waved his hands. “It’s nice out there. How about taking a walk outside, this place is really perfect for golf.”

So long as a contract is not signed, the party A will remain a god. And you don’t defy the god’s will.

Hayden had no choice but to go change in the locker room with Anna. After they changed, they went to the field with Tomas.

“Are you a fan of golf, Mr. Tomas.” Hayden asked.

“Not really into it. But my friend does like it a lot, he’s a pro. You could say that he’s my golf coach.”

“Is that so?” Anna smile, “Maybe he and Miss Hayden can have a match. Miss Hayden plays excellent golf.”

Anna saw Hayden played golf before. Though she didn’t know much about golf, but she could tell from the crowd’s face that Hayden was a really nice player. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“That would be perfect. My friend’s desperate for an opponent.”

Tomas waved at somebody in the distance and yelled. “Mr. Beckham! Right here!”

Beckham. The name struck at Hayden.
