The CEO's Lovely Twins
Chapter 277 I Am Afraid Mr. Beckham Will Be Teased

What Hayden said made Benjamin to swallow all his unspoken words. Looking at Hayden's expression of inquiry, he nodded. "Yes, it's my mother."

"It's not good for you to have a mother complex, because girls mind it so much now."

Hayden said with concern, and then took her bag.

"I have business to take care of, so I have to go now."

"I drive you there." Benjamin stood up.

"No." Hayden took a glance at the cook house.

"Stella was going to take a pizza, so you stay here and wait for her to live up to her thoughts. I know the way out. Don't worry."

Then Hayden turned to the door of the shop.

"Where is your sister?"

Stella put the hot pizza on the table. The iron plate hit against the table with a thud, which gave him quite a scare. "What are you doing? You are a girl, can be much gentler? Do you want to scare me to death? With his words, Stella's smile froze suddenly and then shot him a look.

"Don't be so ungrateful. Either you take it or I feed the dog with it."

"No one will marry you this way."

"You rest assured. You will be my bridegroom only when all men in this world were dead."

Benjamin suddenly paused and then he anyhow thought of what Hayden just said to him. He bowed his head and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Stella was in a daze.

Benjamin, however, laughed silently and ate the pizza, missing to see the girl's face turning red for the sake of his tender smile.

Stellalooked at him up and down, thinking he did have a good looking.

Back to the company, Hayden went to see Dante.

"How about the order?"

"We have entrusted a manufacturer to work around the lock. But we are still pretty tight for time, because the Joann Group wants the goods within one month. I am concerned with the quality, so we have the overseers to look over the workers' shoulder day and night."

"The overseers should be professional in clothing." Hayden advised.

Dante nodded.

"So the designers have to be the overseers."

"But you also have to be busy the Design Competition these days, can you handle it?"

Hayden was a little worried.

In order to regain the reputation of Green Lemon Clothing, the designer team under the leadership of Dante signed up for the National Costume Design Competition. These days, the designers were all busy for the competition.

"Fine." Dante looked calm, "The competition is not so troublesome, and the overseers don't have to work all day long. Some of them could go and carry out spot-checks every day."

Seeing Dante's face full of confidence, Hayden said nothing more. She nodded, "Ok, now I give you carte blanche in this matter, and you just do it."

Dante nodded and then went to arrange the schedule for the designers to take turns to be the overseers.

In the whole Green Lemon Clothing, there was no one more serious at work than Dante, including Hayden.

After she left the design department, the assistant Anna caught up with her and reminded her of the AW business party next night.

"President Downey, you will go alone, or..."

"You think I will replace no man to be my male companion?"

Hayden took a look at Anna.

Anna hesitated for a moment, and said carefully, "President Downey, are you going to attend the party with Mr. Beckham?"

"Yes."

"But I don't think Mr. Beckham is an appropriate choice. Please don't get mad at what I said."

With her words, Hayden stopped, and took a surprised look atAnna.

Anna hurriedly explained, "Don't be angry. I just think that there are more people who would like to make the sweet pot sweeter, but few to do a favor when their friends are in times of trouble, especially in the business community. According to Mr. Beckham's disposition and means before, I believe he has pissed off many people."

"Go on."

Hayden wanted to know Anna's thoughts.

After a pause, Anna said.

"Mr. Beckham now is not the executive president of ST Group now, but the treasurer of Downey Group. At this time, he goes to such a high-class party, and he will doubtless meet those he knew before. For example, Mr. Sanchez and his brother used to be the opponents of Mr. Beckham. If they meet Mr. Beckham at the party, I am afraid they will make full of him, besides, others might peddle gossip about you and Mr. Beckham. As a result, you two will be in a state of embarrassment.

She knew that Anna had tried to advise her in a euphemious way. If Hayden was in her feet, she would say directly that Joseph would be gloated.

It's easy to imagine how those people would jeer at Joseph. Mr. Beckham was so proud and he never fell from grace. She was afraid that he could not handle the situation.

"I'll think about it." She looked at Anna, with clear appreciation in her eyes.

Anna took a little relief. "You're not angry."

As she walked to the office, Hayden asked Anna, "How long have you been in the Downey Group?"

"Five years."

"For so long?" Hayden was a little surprised, "But why are you..."

She suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to ask the question, but she could not replace the alternative words. So she was stiff there.

Anna didn't mind, but smiled, "Why am I still a little secretary who is not given a ball for so long?"

Hayden nodded.

"That's because I don't have a degree." Anna was a little embarrassed.

"I graduated just from junior high school. Five years ago, my uncle contacted the old Mr. Downey, so I was put into the company. Although my grandmother surnamed Downey, she just was distant relations to the old Mr. Downey. It's a good chance for me to be a secretary."

Hearing this, Hayden made sense. She consoled her, "Those who work hard would be rewarded."

A few days ago when she just became the President Downey, she chose her assistant in the Secretary Office of the company. The assistant was often overloaded but not paid well. Such an assistant should be tactful, of loyalty and care. It's not easy to replace such an assistant.

Most of her secretary candidates on the list were sort of related to the board of directors in Downey Group, including Eira Martin, in case that she would be a dictator in this Group. "Thank you, President Downey."

Anna lowered her head. Hayden was left an impression that Anna had an old head on young shoulders, because whatever she said to her, she was always calm. That's why she chose Anna to be her secretary at her first sight.

In the afternoon, Hayden went to the manufacturer with Dante. As he expected, the workers on the assembly line who worked temporarily for the manufacturer were not very meticulous. The first batch of clothing had to be reworked. Therefore, Dante snapped at them and the owner of the manufacturer were called to the site at once.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on?" Dante stared at the owner coldly, and dropped all the scattered cloth at his feet.

"Look, is this the quality you promised us?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
