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 doesn’t try to hide anything. I thought to myself.
“Yes, I had breakfast already. Make sure you’re prepared for today’s 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 wouldn’t get the chance.
The
TEST
words Hayden spoke were softer, and if one didn’t know better, one would think they were the couple instead of him and me,
The driver in the front seat didn’t 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 that’s when i saw Zachary leaning against the secretary’s 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, “What’s going on here? Could Zachary be giving Joanna trouble? She’s crying out? Who is so bold to provoke her?”
I quickly glanced at Hayden, and sure enough, I saw his jaw set tight, his eyes deep with fury as he looked at Zachary,
“What’s going on Hayden’s 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 secretary’s office fell silent in an instant, with only Joanna’s heartbroken sobs filling the air.
Richard stood motionless, clearly unfazed by the drama. Such scenes were nothing new to him and he didn’t 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
“Don’t cry. What happened? Hayden’s tone was always so gentle when speaking to Joanna.
“L“Joanna couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 you’re here. These new secretaries this year. their abilities are all over the place,
“They probably didn’t 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 wouldn’t 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.
Hayden’s 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 isn’t Hayden’s fault. I didn’t mean to mix up the dates. I just pushed it back by one day, and it’s 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 didn’t even care about the actual meeting date.
Even if she did get the dates wrong, Joanna didn’t 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 Joanna’s 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 Hayden’s expression, I felt a sinking sensation in my chest. It seemed like Joma might actually get away with it
Hayden didn’t s
I say anything at first. Instead, he looked at Richard as if asking him to verify Zachary’s words.
Richard nodded slightly. Everything Zachary said was indeed true,
“The board meeting? How come I didn’t know about le Hayden smoothly changed the topic, not even addressing Joanna’s mistake.
I couldn’t help but smile faintly. Hayden really didn’t disappointme
The way he so blatantly defended her clearly showed how important Jozina was to him.
Zachary raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Parker, you didn’t know about the company’s monthly meetings? Everyone else does. It’s just a simple report on each person’s 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.
Hayden’s 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. That’s only natural. But as for Joanna’s mistake. Mr. Parker, are you really going to just brush it under the rug
“If the whole company finds out how you’re 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 Hayden’s mistress had made a mistake. Zachary wasn’t about to let it slide easily.
“Since I can’t 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, Hayden’s eyes darkened, and he finally responded, “What do you want
“It’s simple.” Zachary said slowly, clearly enjoying Hayden’s discomfort. “Since she made a mistake, she should be fired.”
“I don’t 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.

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 Zachary’s 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!”
