The CEO's Lovely Twins

Chapter 309 The Meeting Of The Board Of Directors.

Hayden was standing at the door for a while and then she covered him with a warm carpet from the

sofa.

“Hayden…” Joseph opened his eyes, looking a little confused.

After knowing the girl in front of him was Hayden, he sat up and checked the time by his watch. “It’s so

early. Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Hayden nodded, “No, I just had too much Japanese cuisine.”

He held her hands firmly and said unpleasantly,

“Your hands are so cold. You should have more clothes.”

“It’s fine. Our offices here are warm.”

“But it’s cold outside.” Then he seemed to think of something and loosed her hands to find a hot-water

bag from a drawer. He pressed the button of it and gave it to Hayden.

“Hold that, and you will be warm later.”

Hayden took it over and she felt much warmer gradually. Examining the pattern on the blue bag, she

asked, “You bought this?”

Joseph was calm, “It’s from my assistant. She gave it to me as Noah’s Christmas gift.”

In the past, Noah and Stella came to the company and the one who took care of them was an intern

who was a girl at her twenties and later became Joseph’s secretary.

Hearing his answer, Hayden directed a meaningful look at Joseph, “But you know, her target is you.”

The girl must want to have more connections with Joseph by sending the so-called Christmas gift.

After the gift, she could continue to ask whether Noah liked it or not and gave another present such as

a hat or a scarf with the same pattern.

Joseph frowned, “Why?”

“She wants to have a relationship with you. You know, maybe something like office romance. Has she

asked you the same question?”

“Yes, she has.”

“Now, you see.”

“I told her that I didn’t give it to Noah because it read that those children who were under 5 years old © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

were banned to use it.”

She guessed how Joseph’s face was like by his words when he responded to the girl. Hayden was

silent for a few moments and then said,

“It’s perhaps tired to be your secretary. You can consider rewarding her with a higher salary.”

Ordinary people would show their affection on the gift they received in a polite manner since the gift

was a kind of compliments. But Joseph behaved in the other way, very particular about the gift.

It’s obvious that the girl wouldn’t give him anything in a short time.

“It’s time to work now.” Hayden looked at the watch, “There’s a meeting of the board of directors.”

“Another meeting again?” Joseph frowned, “First, I think it’s difficult to have a meeting with all the

directors present; second, there’s no use to negotiate with them on every problem which appeared

recently in the company.”

Talking about this, Hayden was upset as well.

“This meeting was arranged by Belinda.”

Belinda as the eldest daughter of the Mason Family tended to be a trouble maker who always tried to

be the design director of the advertising department since she majored in design overseas.

When Bentley was still alive, he had not given her any important job in the corporation because he

didn’t believe her. Besides, at that time, he was the authority of the Downey Group and his words were

orders. But now, the boss of Downey Group was Hayden and Belinda was going to put forwards some

of her ideas. As a result, unsurprisingly, Belinda talked about the contract of advertising of the second

stage.

“After the advertising of the first stage, I admit that our outcome was rising even remarkably. But in my

opinion, the model called Lyon has so much negative news that I think there’s no need to sign a

contract with him continuously at the second stage. Besides, we can shift our celebrity to another one

who suits our advertisement more. ”

Belinda gave her speech confidently which seemed to be plausible.

Hayden, as the chairman, waited and asked after Belinda finished, “Whether to sign the contract with

Lyon should be decided by the advertisement department. Although I am not an expert of that

department, I agree with you. And in terms of the risk you have mentioned, another plan was put

forwards by advertising department just now, that is, changing our poster boy.”

“To whom?”

When Hayden just mentioned the name, Belinda burst in to laughter, “Miss Downey, are you kidding?

We all know that he is your brother.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Hayden said peacefully, “Freddie is totally qualified to be the poster boy since he

has no negative news.”

“Hayden, we know that there’re more and more relatives or friends of you in the company. What are

you planning?” Belinda suddenly stood up, staring at Hayden maliciously.

“After you became the new boss, you have sacked so many staffs and even my two cousins were sent

away to other branches. Are you going to empty the whole company before my aunt is back?”

In front of the board, Belinda dared to give that speech, which indicated that Hayden was definitely

restricted in carrying out her plan. Thinking about that, Hayden took a deep breath and looked at

Belinda coldly.

“So, your ultimate goal of arranging this meeting is to criticize me? Belinda, you are just a shareholder

but not the authority. Here’s the company, which are operated according to rules and regulations. I am

informed that you cousins embezzled the public funds. Do you want more details of it?”

Belinda’s cousins were in a position of power before, and they even invested by the project funds. As a

result, the money was all gone, and the workers of the project failed to receive their salaries, which led

to the fact that someone accused them to the local labor security authority.

It meant that their behaviors resulted in the scandal of the equity hole of the Downey Group.

“But everyone will make mistakes,” Belinda was still trying to explain for her cousins, “You are not

qualified to do with them. You are just a deputy director.”

“As long as I am still the director, I am qualified.”

“What if my aunt comes back?” Belinda raised her jaw, which revealed some information, “My aunt is

the biggest shareholder now, and you should listen to her.”

Before Hayden was able to answer her, the side door of the meeting room was opened by a secretary.

In a pink suit, with her suitcase and coat in her assistant’s hands, Sofia walked towards them as she

stared at Hayden maliciously. Then she said unhappily,

“Miss Downey, I am the authority.”
