President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

Invite her to dinner

“What’s wrong with them?”

Hayden laid her chopsticks down on the table and looked at Joseph angrily, “Do I look like a sugar Momma or a billionaire? I transferred six hundred thousand yuan to Léon yesterday and I am deeply regretful now.”

Joseph’s expression altered when she said she had transferred the money to Léon, and he put down his chopsticks as well.

“You’ve given him six hundred thousand?”

If someone put this conversation on the internet, the netizens would definitely regard her as Léon’s sugar Momma.

Hayden realized she said it in a wrong way and explained immediately, “He bought me some new clothes yesterday. I asked Anna to calculate the total price. And the transfer was for the clothes he sent me.”

“He bought you new clothes?”

Her explanation was not helping.

Hayden took a deep breath and wanted to leave after she took her coat, “Believe it or not, I’ve only met him twice.”

Joseph calmed down, and took a pan-fried bun to her, “Finish your breakfast. I will drive you to the company.”

Hayden realized that he would love her and trust her no matter what happened when she looked into his eyes. Sitting down, she was no longer upset.

“Is it fun to make fun of me?”

“It’s interesting indeed.”

Hayden lowered her head and finished her porridge.

“Let’s go. I’m not sure whether the stock would fluctuate or not because of this event. If there is the fluctuation, the board of directors will keep nagging me again.”

To find out what happened, Hayden got on the internet on the way to the company.

It turned out that a Weibo user called “Haven for Léon” posted a photo of Léon shopping in the mall and said, “I came across Léon in the Yuedu Road. But he seemed to have been dating someone. Maybe he was buying the gifts for his girlfriend. He paid good money to bought all the new releases. I also wanted to be his girlfriend.”

This post went viral at once. Later on, someone commented with another picture, saying, “Léon’s girlfriend is our boss. There’s the picture. But she has a boyfriend, so Léon is just one of her boyfriends.” The picture was taken in front of Hayden’s office door before Léon’s assistants entered the office with bags.

This comment provoked a raging debate. Some popular bloggers also reposted the blog. There was full of the hashtag “Léon, sugar baby” under the topic. The Downey Group had been a trending topic on Weibo because a farmer committed suicide before. And it appeared on the trending and hot topics list again. Moreover, Hayden was suspected to be the sugar Momma of Léon.

“The picture was taken in the Downey Group, right?”

“Their boss is Hayden Downey in the previous hot topic.”

“I’ve told you that such pretty boy is not reliable.”

“Does the Downey Group pay the annual membership? Why is it always on the trending topic?”

“It seems reasonable. I will also spend a lot of money to date a pretty boy if I’m rich enough.”

“…”

Having a look at all these posts, Hayden found that few people was abusing her, except that some fans accused her of sexual harassment. It seemed that most of netizens were reproaching Léon.

The incident was not so serious as Hayden expected. But the stock did fluctuate within the normal range.

“Anna, tell the publicity department to come up with a plan to handle this.”

Hayden put down her phone and said seriously, “Besides, get in touch with Léon’s agent. We should cooperate with Léon to deal with this.”

“Got it.” Anna nodded, “I’ll call him now.”

But she came back very soon, “Ms. Downey, there’s no need to contact him.”

“Why?”

“Léon’s company had made an announcement.” Speaking of that, Anna showed her phone to Hayden.

Léon posted a blog to make the announcement just now, with a picture of the transaction. In the picture, he blurred his private information and highlighted the transfer time to prove that she transferred the money to him before this trending topic appeared.

“About today’s rumor in the internet, I would like to clarify that I bought Hayden clothes was because I wanted to return a favor. I came back from Melbourne at that time and I did not wear enough clothes.

Then Hayden gave her coat to me. Moreover, she had transferred the money back to me. She’s very nice. Trust me. Do not post under those topics and argue with the people who make up the rumors.”

Léon’s company also released an announcement on Weibo, saying that they had sued for deformation.

After the announcement, Léon’s fans started to keep their temper and stopped quarrelling with others.

Browsing the news, Hayden gave back Anna’s phone, “Tell the publicity department to learn something from this lesson. They do not even wake up, do they?”

Anna sighed with a relief, “Thank god, it’s over now. It would never happen if I did not ask you to come to the studio.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Hayden waved her hand, “It was not directed at me. Obviously, it was some kind of competition in the entertainment circle, which has nothing to do with us.”

“Should I continue to call Léon’s agent?”

“No.”

Hayden started to peruse the documents on her desk, and said in calm voice, “There’s no need to contact him. Now that we’ve done the commercial shooting, we don’t need to keep in touch with them if they do not destroy Léon’s image.”

Saying this, Hayden thought she’d better keep away from Léon. He was quite stubborn. Maybe someday his name would appear in the trending topic again.

By the afternoon, the topic disappeared.

After that, Hayden called Joseph, “Let’s go out for dinner. I’d like to have sushi.”

Joseph sounded a little tired in the phone, “I’m still reviewing the financial statement. There’s something wrong with the dividend. If you allow me to ignore the problems, I could have dinner with you.”

“Well, you should continue.”

Hayden sighed, “If you don’t finish your work in the accounting department, I do not want you to come back to ST Group. I will order a takeout, should I leave you some?”

“No, I will be home late.”

“You are so busy.” Hayden thought, although he was the treasurer, he was busier than her the chairman.

After hanging up the phone, she opened a food ordering APP. She reckoned she could have the dinner if she ordered now.

Her phone began to ring when she saw a link of sushi.

Hayden stared at her screen and thought for a while before she answered it.

“Hello?”

“This is Léon.”

“What’s the matter?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I felt sorry about the rumor today. I did not think it through and made you in trouble. I didn’t expect this when I bought you the clothes. Sorry again.”

“Never mind. I won’t take it personally.”

“To make up for this, I’d like to invite you to dinner. I’ve arrived at your company.”
