President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 195

Ningpo was a seaside city located 700 kilometers away. As the common social practice there was simple, the quality of the exported seafood had always been very good and the supply was not adequate to the demand. Another rare thing was the fishermen there were not greedy and did not want to do too big business. Every year, they only sold a few fish they caught during the season to outsiders.

Because of this reason, the village still looked traditional after many years. The mountains and seas there had not been developed, and magnificent natural scenery could be seen along the way.

Hayden yawned as she had been driving for a long time.

Three hours ago, she had her lunch in the rest area before reaching the highway. But if she knew that she had to drive for so long to reach there, she would have bought some food to eat inside her car.

Her stomach started to growl.

“Ugh, please stop growling.” Hayden helplessly muttered to herself. “When I reach the place, I must let the temperamental designer treat me to a seafood feast.”

Alayna told Hayden that the man was her senior and their relationship was very close, but he still wanted Hayden to go to his place. He said that he had to meet with the boss of the company to determine whether the company had any value.

Hayden wished to hire a talented employee and that’s why she went to recruit him.

Her phone rang. After glancing at the caller's number, she pressed the car audio button which was connected with her phone.

“Where are you now? Ms. Hayden?”

The taunting voice of Alayna echoed in the car, mixed with the cacophony of electric drills drilling the walls.

Hayden quickly reached out to lower down the volume of the call, “Oh my god, are you at the renovation site? Can you find a quiet place to talk?”

“This place is quiet enough. It’s evening now and the renovation will stop soon. Don’t be disgusted with your company.”

“I am not disgusted with my company. I almost became deaf because of the loud sound from your side.”

“Okay, okay. I will go out now to talk with you.”

The voice on the other end became clearer gradually, “We must keep an eye on this renovation team. I came late in the morning for a while, and they were chatting in the corner without doing their work.

“Good job, my grand designer.”

Hayden held the steering wheel. She had turned on the headlamp of her car to illuminate the darkness of the road in front of her.

“Where have you reached? How’s the traffic?”

“I just reached the highway half an hour ago. It was difficult for me to drive on the road now in pitch darkness. I drove as slow as a tortoise now…”

She screamed loudly. Her screaming which was mixed with the sound of emergency brakes seemed extremely harsh.

On the other end, Alayna frowned tightly and she plucked out the earphones from her ears, “Hayden … Hayden, are you there? What’s wrong?”

“Beep…” The phone abruptly went back to the main interface. The call was disconnected.

Alayna tried to call her again but it was said that her phone was not in service. Her face turned pale at once.

If she was not wrong, she knew that Hayden had a car accident, judging from her screaming and the sound of brakes just now.

“There can’t be any more problems with this shipment.”

Joseph stood at the back of the truck, looking at the shipping list with a serious expression.

“If such a problem happens again, we will immediately reselect the supplier. Besides, I can also tell you directly, we have purchased another batch of the same goods at the same time from another supplier and it was sent to Nanking now. If there’s anything wrong, I will not purchase anything from you all again and we might meet in court.

The boss of the seafood company wiped his sweat with fright, “There won’t be any problem this time. During the last time, the driver did not open the freezer and he was afraid of taking the responsibility and did not dare to tell us, which delayed the matter. Mr. Beckham, don’t worry. That kind of mistake won’t happen again.”

“Okay, never mind.”

Joseph closed the shopping list and handed it over to his assistant, Magnus. “You stay here and keep an eye on the final delivery of this batch of goods. I will go back first,”

“Don’t you stay overnight before you leave? It’s not safe to drive at night in darkness.”

“No need.”

Joseph tidied up his cuffs expressionlessly and then drove away.

He knew that Harrison was just to punish him as the problem at the place was not very serious until he had to come to solve it personally. He thought that he didn’t even have to leave Magnus at the place and he did not bother to stay there for a little longer.

When he just reached the Esplanade Road, his phone rang, disrupting the atmospheric melody of the symphony in the car.

He frowned and pressed the button to answer the call.

“Joseph, where are you?”

Joseph glanced at the sign ahead.

“I almost reach the highway. I think I can reach Nanking in the early morning.”

“Faster make a U-turn.”

Kevin’s voice was a bit urgent, “Hayden got into an accident.”

The sharp brakes sounded a piercing roar on the road. There were two long tyre marks on the asphalt road, and some white smoke came out from the car.

Joseph said coldly inside the car, “What do you mean she got into an accident and ask me to make a U-turn?”

“The story is too complicated and I can’t explain to you now. In short, the call between Hayden and Alayna had disconnected an hour ago and Alayna thinks that she had a car accident. I send you her last location before she was disconnected and you quickly go and find her. It shouldn’t be very far from your place as she is also going to Ningpo.”

Joseph’s hand which was holding the steering wheel shook with anxiousness, but his tone of voice was very calm, “Okay.”

“Beep”, the alert of the text message sounded in the car.

Not long after, the engine of the Land Rover which stopped in the middle of the road roared. Joseph quickly made a U-turn and sped away quickly towards the mountain road.

A full moon hung high in the sky. In another week, it would be Mid-Autumn Festival.

At a roadside stall near a bar street in Nanking, Kevin put down his cell phone and looked up at the woman in front of him, “I have called Joseph and he had gone to find Hayden. Do you have anything else to say?”

Alayna was a bit nervous. She stared at Kevin for a while and smiled.

“Nothing, thanks. Let me know if you have any news. I will leave first.”

An hour ago, she lost contact with Hayden and she couldn’t find Joseph’s phone number in her phone. In a panic, she called Kevin and it was too late when she wanted to cancel the call.

Kevin answered her call almost on the spot.

She could hear the excitement in Kevin’s tone as if he had been waiting for her call for a long time.

At that moment, Alayna felt like she was a bitch.

But as Kevin had answered the call, she only could force herself to ask for his help as Kevin was the only one in her contact list that could have solutions to find Hayden.

After leaving the roadside stall, she walked along the street for a while. The streetlights were shining on her figure. She sighed, with one hand clutching the bag of her Chanel backpack. She really wanted to punch herself.

“This woman is so hot.”

Some drunks were drinking on the street. They whistled at her and said a lot of nasty words when they saw her.

“She has big boobs and a nice ass. It will be nice to fuck her.”

Alayna who was already in a bad mood immediately glared back at them when she heard their words.

“Did you fuck your mum when you were small? Don’t you know who you are after you are drunk? Look at the mirror and see how wimp-like you all are.”

After hearing her words, the drunks looked at each other. They instantly became furious. They thumped the table angrily and stood up.

“Who are you scolding?”

“I am cursing your mother’s pussy son.”

Just when Alayna was scolding them with vulgarities excitedly, she felt her temples pulsing suddenly. At the moment before her eyes began to trance, she saw some white light.

Before she fainted, her mind was full of ‘Oh shit, why am I fainting now’.
