Hayley was wearing a white tweed coat, and her long black hair was lined with an age-defying but simple and clean feeling.
Although it has been more than four years since we left, Hayley has not changed much.
“I’ve heard a lot about Mr. Boone, but I’m glad to meet him today.”
“Mrs. Alston is joking.”
Adriana withdrew her hand and sat leisurely in her chair, her gaze occasionally falling on Hayley’s body, looking up and down, as if in thought.
But this scene fell on Brenden’s eyes, but there is a different taste in the heart.
“Mr. Boone looks familiar, haven’t we met before?”
Hayley also looked at ‘Lawson’ always felt that this person is very familiar, but that a face is unfamiliar.
“I’m just this popular face, and that’s what people who have seen me say.”
She smiled back.
“Hayley, go pour Mr. Boone a cup of coffee, what are you doing sitting there.”
Brenden patted her on the shoulder and instructed.
“Well, good.”
Hayley jawed slightly, very obedient to Brenden’s orders.
After watching her walk out, Rene also retreated.
Brenden crossed his fingers in front of his belly, leaned back in his chair, deep pupils surveyed ‘Lawson’, flirting: “It is said that Mr. Boone’s nature is flirtatious, men and women can eat. You don’t also like Hayley, do you?”
He was invisibly releasing something in one sentence.
Adriana, who is as smart as she is, can’t hear the meaning of Brenden’s words.
She propped her elbows on the armrests, rubbed her chin, and showed the ‘manly’ gangster in her hands and feet, smiled evilly, “Like it or not, but I Lawson is not as lucky as Mr. Alston.”
Fingertips nudged on the chin, secretly pondering what Brenden’s relationship with Hayley really was.
“This woman na, like clothes. Do you think so?”
Brenden tilted his head with a smile and raised an eyebrow toward her.
“Ohhhh, really? I, Lawson, was born small and I don’t know if some of my clothes fit.”
“It doesn’t fit, try it to know.”
“Wouldn’t it be a disservice to my reputation as Lawson to take away someone’s good name?”
“We are all brothers, our own people, no distinction between you and me.”
At the end of the day, it was already obvious that she was throwing an olive branch at her, except that the words made Adriana feel sick and sympathetic to Hayley at the same time.
“Is that so? Then you have to ask your sister-in-law if she agrees.”
Adriana kept a bad smile on her face, catering to Brenden’s words.
At that moment, Hayley walked in, carrying a cup of coffee, and asked, “What are you guys talking about, asking me if I agree?”
She brought the coffee to Adriana, “Mr. Boone enjoy, freshly ground, I don’t know if it’s to your taste.”
“Thank you, sister-in-law for your hard work.”
Just now, she called ‘Mrs. Alston’, but after the explicit and implicit conversation with Brenden, she called ‘sister-in-law’, and her intention has been made clear.
“Mr. Boone really knows how to talk.”
Hayley smiled gently and walked towards Brenden and sat down.
“Hayley, the cooperation of the new project will be left to you, when the time comes, you will contact Mr. Boone directly.”
Brenden instructed Hayley.
“Really?”
At that moment, Hayley’s eyes glowed with excitement as she looked at Brenden.
As she watched, the smile on her cheeks stiffened and then slowly disappeared.
“You said … told me to approach Mr. Boone directly?”
I heard them talking when I came in just now, saying something about my sister-in-law agreeing to disagree, and now Brenden is saying this.
Although Lawson has not been in Waverly for a long time, it is well known that Lawson is a flirt, a man of both sexes, and yesterday he even grabbed a woman with Edward at the airport.
What does it mean to push her on Lawson now?
“What? You don’t want to?”
Brenden’s long, bone-like fingers tapped the seat vice, and his stern eyes scanned Hayley.
That look, like an ancient emperor, a command to obey ten thousand people, not to disobey.
Adriana sat across the table and quietly watched the two of them make eye contact, and despite some things in plain sight, she didn’t show too much, just reveling in who ‘Lawson’ is now, taking that ‘all-gender’ The man of flirtation is interpreted to the extreme.
“You guys talk, I’m going to the bathroom.”
Lawson straightened his clothes, got up and walked out.
Hayley and Brenden were the only two people left in the conference room for a while.
Hayley got up indignantly, pointed at Brenden’s face, and directly questioned: “What do you mean? You know that Lawson is a bad man and a woman, and she’s a flirt, and you’re pushing me on her?”
Looking at the man she loved, Hayley’s eyes were filled with despair and terror, incredulous that Brenden had acted so ruthlessly.
Is it ruthlessness, or is it a case of doing whatever it takes to get what you want?
He has just returned to China, and his roots in The Alston family’s old house are not yet secure, so in order to enlist the old man as soon as possible, he actually let her use her as a bargaining chip?
“Did I tell you the day I married me that I was a man who only cared about profit? Did you tell me to stay by my side willingly? Hayley, I’m on shaky ground and the Fryer Group is incredibly strong, we need to enlist Lawson.”
With that, Brenden reached out and tugged Hayley’s hand, pulling it to his side, but Hayley stood motionless, the sharp eyes staring straight at Brenden.
“Come here.”
His tone was softer, and he held her hand with a slight effort, dragging Hayley into his arms and sitting on his lap.
Brenden reached out and gently rubbed her lips, “Hayley, you and my son are all I have with me now, if you don’t help me, who will? Besides, he, Lawson, is only momentarily interested in you, don’t you think?”
Hayley brushed his hand away, “Brenden, what do you take me for? He likes women, you can find one for him, why me?”
“Because … he’s got his eye on you.”
Brenden didn’t look Hayley in the eye, but reached out and tossed her hair behind her ear, twirling it around her fingertips, and said slowly, “I’m a big-picture, open-minded person, and my body is just a shell, but it’s your mind that I like. Holy, beautiful, no one can replace it.”
“But … can … can … but then how am I … going to face you?”
Hayley, who was moved by Brenden’s three words, slowly hung her head, bowed her head, pinched her fingers uneasily and muttered in a small voice.
“Silly girl, you are my Brenden’s. Even if you have something with Lawson, but your heart …”
A slender finger nodded at her chest and smiled wickedly, “It’s still mine, and it can only be mine.”
“Oops, you’re so bad Brenden, I’m going to get mad …~”
The pouting voice carries a touch of girlish childishness.
Adriana, who was standing in the doorway, listened to the conversation between the two word for word and couldn’t help but feel creeped out.
In order to enlist the Fryer Group, Brenden actually put Hayley out as a companion, but Hayley that idiot can actually agree.
But when you think about it, it all makes sense.
