Chapter 301



.

Leon was stuck for a moment at Hayden’s question. Teeth chattering at him, he blinked and said, “You’re right.”

Hayden thought she hadn’t considered it properly before coming over.

Then she felt angry, “That’s enough. Forget about dinner, you’re freezing out here. Where do you live? I’ll take you home.”

Leon didn’t dare argue, so he got into Hayden’s car.

They weren’t far from where he was staying. Hayden left him at the hotel door, “Keep your coat on. Otherwise you might catch a cold.”

Your favorite tales are on gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․çоnn After all, he was the Downey Group’s brand spokesman. If he got sick right after the shoot, his fans would be furious and blame it on them.

But Leon was delighted: “I’ll have your coat washed and then I’ll give it back to you.”

“Only if you come to N-Town again.” Hayden smiled and waved her hand. She breathed a sigh of relief as she closed the car door.

People were going crazy with the stars, but they weren’t so easy to deal with.

Hayden saw a man in black standing in front of the building as the car pulled into the Imperial Village area.

She was so happy that she ran to Joseph and hugged him when the driver stopped the car.

She looked at him, “How did you know what time I was coming?”.

Seeing that she wasn’t wearing a coat, Joseph frowned and unbuttoned his to wrap her up, “I asked Anna.”

“Wow, did you ask her about my schedule, what did she say?”.

“She said you should have been home half an hour ago.” Joseph was a little annoyed, “I waited for you for over forty minutes. Turns out you’re not so reliable with your information.”

Hayden burst out laughing, “Anna isn’t always aware of my itinerary. Besides, today she invited the members of the shoot for me. So you shouldn’t have asked her, it was better to ask me directly.”

Seeing that she was still snorting, he took her by the arm and walked into the building, “You’ve been very busy with your work lately.”

Hayden disagreed, “You were a lot busier than me. I still come home every day, but you were always on a business trip.”

Joseph pushed the elevator button, but it took too long to arrive. So he turned and asked, “Why didn’t you put your coat on?”

“No reason!” Hayden sighed, “It’s complicated.”

“What happened?”

Hayden suddenly stared at him and asked, “Do you understand the fashion of cute boys and rude boys?”.

Joseph was puzzled by what he said.

“They’re two very popular boyfriend stereotypes these days. Tough guys are more manly and dependable, while tender boys are more sweet and attentive.”

Joseph wasn’t interested in such things and continued to ask her about the coat, “What does this have to do with your coat?”

“I gave my coat to ‘a tender boy.'”

Hayden snuggled into coat and looked up into his face. Her coat was too big for her and was stiff in the shoulders, making her look like a girl in disguise.

Wearing her coat, she expected him to be jealous. But after a while, he simply asked her, “What kind of ‘tender boy’ would take your coat?”

She suddenly lost her enthusiasm and resigned herself, “Don’t you understand what I just said? The ‘tender boy’ label refers to exactly that, a tender and delicate boy. He’s the Downey Group’s new brand ambassador, his name is Leon and I gave him my coat.”

Joseph didn’t know what to answer.

The elevator happened to stop in front of them. Hayden stepped straight into the elevator, looking like he didn’t want to talk to him.

Joseph stepped into the elevator as well and asked with a frown, “A boy?”

“Yes.” She slyly watched his expression, and teased him purposefully, ” I really like Leon.”

“What did you say?” Her expression suddenly changed and she spoke in a deeper voice.

“I said I like Leon. I’m not a fan of any popular star, but I’m a fan of Leon.” From the elevator mirror, he saw Joseph get angry.

He snapped back, “You’ve never talked about what kind of celebrities you like.”

“That’s because I don’t say it when I like someone.” He managed to keep a poker face and was about to exit the elevator as it was about to stop.

The elevator arrived and the door was opening. But suddenly he grabbed her wrist.

She exclaimed in surprise. Before she realized what had happened, she was trapped between him and the elevator wall. Her hand was pressed against the wall.

He looked at her and said angrily, “You were late because you had arranged to go out with Leon, weren’t you?”

“Why are you so angry?”. She struggled, but failed to pull on his wrist. She laughed at him again, “Are you jealous?”.

“Are you still laughing?”. Joseph was indignant, “Answer me.”

Hayden leaned against the wall, looking like he had given up the fight, “Yes, I went to meet him. He invited me to dinner. But I was cold, so I took off my coat and gave it to him.”

Hearing that, he became even more enraged, especially when he saw that she was wearing his coat. He grabbed her wrist more firmly.

Hayden was no longer laughing, “Let go of me! You’re hurting me!”

He felt an icy wind rush across his shoulder as he finished his words.

Joseph grabbed his coat again and refused to give it to him.

Hayden shivered with cold and clutched at his arm.

“What are you doing? I’m freezing to death.”

“You could ask Leon to give you your coat back.”

Joseph knew there was no way Hayden was having an affair. And it was understandable if he was a fan of any star. But he had been jealous of other men these days, so he gave vent to his anger and jealousy.

Hayden was amused by the unusual expression on his face. She wanted to know his background, but she froze.

But enough was enough. She blinked, “I like the Lion from my favorite movie. Not Lion model we chose for the shoot. You misunderstood.”

His face took on a fixed expression. He realized he’d been tricked when he saw Hayden let out a chuckle.

Then she was back between him and the wall: “Don’t tickle me! I’m sorry, it was my fault!”.

Hayden laughing intensely and tried to stop him.

Seeing Hayden gasp with a blush on her cheeks, Joseph stopped tickling her.
