Most of ST Group’s staff clocked off at 5, so did Hayden. But the company’s financial affairs were really a mess, prompting Joseph to work extra hours.

“Are you sure that you don’t want to leave with me?” standing at the door of Joseph’s office, Hayden knocked, smiling.

Joseph shifted his focus from those numbers onto Hayden right away when he heard her. Her smile revitalized him. “It’s OK. I’ll go home soon as I finish this category. I t won’t take me long.”

“You make me feel so bad. How about I give you a raise in your wage?”

“Is that so? You’re feeling bad? I doubt it.”

He squinted, beckoned at Hayden, “come here.”

“Change your mind?”

Casually, Hayden walked in, stopped right in front of his desk, her body slightly reclining forward.

“It’s not too late to change your mind, I’ll be here with you if you say yes.”

In response, Joseph said nothing but pulled Hayden close to himself, leaving a peck on her lips before she could react.

“Alright, you could leave.”
