President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free
Chapter 205: Never Smiled at Me Like This
Hayden Downey gulped as she looked at the man who was feeding her porridge, and she said awkwardly, “You really seemed to be the CEO back then.”
“It was me.”
Joseph Beckham shoved the last gulp of the fish congee into her mouth. The spoon hit the wall of the porcelain bowl, making a crisp sound. He rested on the bed, wiping his hands slowly.
“But I wasn’t the one in charge of the clothing brand.”
Joseph looked at Dante icily, “Hadn’t you eavesdrop on my phone call this afternoon? Still being suspicious? Or is it that you don’t even want to admit it at all?”
Dante shivered with rage, “That’s all because of the conflict of interest between the senior management, using us as an excuse. I’m sick of it.”
“I have nothing to say if you wish to think so.”
Joseph glanced at him, balled up the tissue in his hand, and threw it right into the dustbin at the end of the bed.
If it weren’t for Hayden, he wouldn’t even bother to bring up these petty matters that were a mess caused by Franklin Hawkins.
“I think it’s just a misunderstanding.”
Hayden looked at the two, “The ST Group accused the staff of its subordinate companies indiscriminately back then, which is unfair as it can ruin someone’s life easily.”
Dante couldn’t agree more on this.
“Although the way the ST Group did this was wrong, Mr. Burke, you shouldn’t blame on others too without knowing the truth. Then what’s the different of this and the way the ST Group have done?”
Hearing this, Dante’s face turned pale.
In fact, from Dante’s statement, Hayden could tell that Dante probably already knew that he had wronged Joseph and regretted it. Just that he couldn’t step down.
“For my sake, why not you two shake hands and make peace. Mr. Burke, I have eaten your fish congee and it tastes great. But I won’t be paying you, considering it as your apology for accidentally scalding me.”
Hayden intended to liven up the atmosphere, but Dante just couldn’t laugh.
Joseph was just beside them with a blank expression. Nobody responded to her joke, and the situation became even more awkward.
