Female Novel
Chapter 191 Unscrupulous
The scene of watching the couple breaking up was too cruel, and Hayden felt that she was not so
cheeky to watch the fun in front of the couple. Therefore, she used her strength to flip out of the
pavilion and leave the place.
The last thing she heard was Kevin’s words.
He was a playboy in the view of women in the city. However, when he suffered from a miserable love
relationship, he surprisingly let others feel sorry for him. He said, “Alayna, just pretend as nothing has
happened in these two days. We, we’ll just be the same as before, okay?”
Hayden did not expect as things had come to this point, Kevin still could give in and be willing to
pretend that nothing has happened, as if such big things as proposing Alayna and being rejected by
her did not exist?
“I can’t. I’m tired, Kevin.”
Alayna answered like that.
Both men and women could be a cheater.
It was getting late. Hayden drove Alayna back to her fashion studio.
“Actually, I’m fine, you don’t need to send me so specially.”
“Who cares whether you are fine?”
Hayden gave her a disgusted look, “I just want to eat the roasted duck neck next to your studio.”
“Then I will treat you.”
“Of course you treat me, aren’t you embarrassed for a jobless person to pay for it?”
Alayna had been depressed since she left the hospital, and Hayden was scared that she would suffer
from mental illness. That’s why she kept on taunting her like this.
If it was usual, Alayna would have jumped three feet high and quarrelled with her, but now she just
leaned against the passenger side with a sickly look. She sighed after a long time.
“It’s a pity.”
“You also think it’s a pity?” Hayden looked at Alayna. She thought she was regretting breaking up with
Kevin, “It’s so rare for you to feel pity for something.”
Alayna looked at her slyly, “Unfortunately, Kevin and I had been discussing inviting you and Joseph to
go out together and taking that opportunity to improve the relationship between you two. But now I had
broken up with him, then we can’t help you two anymore.”
When she mentioned Joseph’s name, the soothing smile on Hayden’s face froze and her fingers
holding the steering wheel tightened, “Who wants your help, just mind your own business.”
Alayna’s fashion studio was located in the east of Nanking, close to the ancient town. There were a lot
of tourists nowadays, and it was still crowded at midnight.
The two of them sat at the window, commenting on the dressings and manners of the tourists. Alayna
was a designer. In her eyes, none of them looked good.
Hayden rolled her eyes at her.
“You still have the nerve to comment on others. You should be given a mirror to look at your current
appearance. Your eye makeup makes you look like a panda, and your mouth is full of oil, displaying a
bad image.”
Hearing her words, Alayna turned her head back and glanced lazily at Hayden, who was holding a
roasted duck neck and a fried chicken wing in a different hand. She said expressionlessly.
“We both are the same!”
They both felt sad because of the men, and also stuffed themselves with food to relieve the depression
in their hearts. Why did a woman make things difficult for another woman?
“If you were not sick, you will accept Kevin’s proposal without the slightest hesitation, right?
Hayden asked her.
However, Alayna took a bite of the chicken wing, as if she was unconcerned about Hayden’s question.
She said vaguely.
“If I didn’t have this disease, perhaps I would have got married a long time ago. He would have no
chance, wouldn’t he?”
She still lived in this world as she wanted to experience this interesting world more. She didn’t want to
give others burden so she preferred solitude. If her life was a bed of roses, she could have married and
had children like a normal woman.
“Don’t talk about this first. I heard you chatting with the doctor at the hospital this morning. He said that
your father’s health is quite stable now. Is he still living in the nursing home after that?”
Hayden frowned, “I asked him, he wants to go home to live.”
Hearing her words, Alayna’s face turned gloomy.
“Shit, what does this ‘old man’ want? You’ve been taking care of him for so long, but he’s going to leave
when he gets well, or is he going to live with that mistress?”
Her words sounded harsh, and Hayden felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she just pretended to be
relaxed. “Never mind, they have lived together for most of his lives. He has a closer relationship with
them than with me. He is old now and I think he doesn’t want to live alone in the nursing home.”
“This old man is unscrupulous.”
Alayna didn’t have a scruple about saying Hayden’s father like that, and she didn’t show any respect to
him.
“In my opinion, you have done your responsibility as his child to save him from death this time. From
now on just don’t care about him, and live your life well.”
Hayden looked calm, “I think he doesn’t need me to care about him either.”
Recently, Sofia and Chelsea went to visit Brook very frequently in the hospital. It was also the two of
them who suggested Brook go back home. She thought that they still loved Brook.
“What about after this? What do you plan to do?”
“… Hmm?”
“I am asking you about your job.” Alayna asked her as she wiped her greasy hand, “Didn’t you say
before that you had figured out what you were going to do? You were still being secretive with me. Can
you tell me now?”
“There’s nothing to be secretive about actually.”
Hayden smiled, “It’s just that the formalities weren’t finished at that time. It was just done yesterday.”
“What?”
Hayden wiped her hands clean and pulled out a business card from the bag she had with her and
handed it over to Alayna.
“Green Lemon Clothing Co., Ltd., General Manager, Hayden Downey?”
Alayna read it out softly and looked up in surprise. “You opened a company?”
“That’s not opened by me. It was my mother’s company at first.” Hayden explained.
“When my mother first married my father, my father had just started his business, and my mother was
basically the one who paid for the initial working capital. But then, my mother got pregnant and had me.
My father’s company also got on track. Green Lemon Clothing was amalgamated with the Downey
Group. However, this small clothing company has not been taken care of well, so it did not grow well
also, and now I have taken over the company.”
There were some words that Hayden omitted, but Alayna could also guess what was going on.
After Florence was pregnant, she stopped working. Green Lemon Clothing was amalgamated with the
Downey Group to become an insignificant subsidiary. Then Sofia messed up the marriage between
Florence and Brook. Florence died in childbirth. Sofia didn’t even treat her daughter well, let alone her
company.
It was not easy for this small company to survive until today.
“When I asked my dad about this, he didn’t say anything but just agree with me.”
“Of course he had to agree with you, the company belongs to you in the first place. What’s wrong with
taking your thing back.”novelbin
Hayden smiled, “Alright, I’ll let bygones be bygones. Don’t be so indignant. I have something to ask
you.”
“What is it?”
“Would you like to come to Green Lemon Clothing to help me?”
Alayna was stunned and she frowned, “Do you want me to come to your little shitty company to work
for you as a designer? What’s the reason?”
“You can work for me with a lower salary.”
“Damn, do you know how much I worth in this market?” Alayna immediately glared at her.
