Chapter 7: Let’s Bet


    Joseph looked up. “Anything wrong?”


    “Since you think that only certificates could prove one’s capability, let’s bet.” Hayden smiled and stared


    at him with full provocative intentions. “Do you dare to ept it?” Kevin Jackman who nearly dozed off


    from the boring interviews suddenly became energetic. He was amazed as it was the first time he saw


    someone daring to bet with Joseph, and even with such an arrogant attitude. “What do you want to


    bet? Prettydy.” With an incredulous look, Joseph turned and threw Kevin a glimpse.


    Hayden took a deep breath and stared into the man’s deep eyes. She said with strong determination,


    “I’ll work at the hotel under the ST Group for three months, and I guarantee the monthly profit would be


    above thirty percent. If I’ve achieved that, I want thepany to employ me as a formal worker and


    give me triple sries, also...” She paused and finished her sentence extremely clearly, “You have to


    apologize to me!”


    Her words stirred up amotion. She had only worked at the Mileder Hotel for a year and during her


    employment, the monthly profit she helped the hotel to obtain was only less than ten percent. How


    could she be so bold to make such a promise that seemed unachievable? Joseph closed the folder and


    tossed it to the side. He stood up, supported himself with both his handsid t on the table and


    slightly stooped. “What if you can’t?”


    Hayden’s smile grew bigger and she did not have any hesitation. “If I can’t, I’ll work for the ST Group


    for free for three years and will always be at your order. How’s that? Are you willing to ept the bet?”


    “Of course!” Kevin chimed in. “Jo, if you don’t ept that, you’re a coward!” He shut his mouth up


    when Joseph shot him a cold re. “Go back and wait for the job notification.” After saying that with a


    low voice, Joseph stood up and went down the stage. His slender legs stopped when he passed by


    Hayden. He turned sideways and his eyes fell onto the woman’s chin and nose. She had a pleasant but


    not that kind of strong perfume smell. Interesting. At least she was more interesting than those women.


    “As for the bet, I’ll ept it.” After saying that, he strode and left.


    “Jo, where are we having lunch?” Seeing him leaving, Kevin chased after him in a hurry. Before he left,


    he turned around and winked at Hayden. He said with a smile, “You’re funny, prettydy. I hope you’ll


    win the bet!” Hayden felt speechless, but nevertheless, she had passed the test, and having


    opportunities would always be better than facing a dead end at all!


    …


    It was already noon when Hayden finished her interview and went back home with an exhausted body.


    “Wee home, mommy!” Ste weed her by giving her a big hug. “I’ve memorized all the


    alphabets and cooked the rice, now I’m waiting for mommy to cook the dishes!”

    “Good job, honey!” Haydennded a kiss on the little girl’s cheek. After washing her hands and cooked,


    both mother and daughter had lunch together. When she woke up back then, she was startled for quite


    a long while when the doctor told her she still had a daughter. The child was tender and adorable. She


    was reluctant to give her to her hirer, therefore she asked her friend to help her buy a ne ticket and


    she then went abroad with the little fellow in a hurry. She had even broken her rtionship with the


    Downey family for her.


    Although it was tough raising a child at a foreign country, her tiredness vanished whenever she saw


    Ste’s sweet smile. Not to mention her daughter was exceptionally smart and fluent in English. She


    had started to brush her own teeth and wear clothes herself when she was three, and had helped her


    to do household chores when she was older. She did not have to worry about her at all even if she was


    outside of the house.
