As Joseph picked up his phone during the meeting, Hayden called him to his office and lectured him for a long time.
Joseph knew that Hayden wanted to vent his anger on him because of Paige's news, but he didn't say anything. He sat on the sofa and listened to the lecture without saying a word.
Hayden earnestly lectured him for an entire hour.
It wasn't until Paisley came to the Dawson family that he decided to let it go. After being freed, Joseph picked up his phone and went back to his office.
After sitting down and taking a sip of coffee, Paisley knocked on his door.
When he saw her, he greeted her with a hostile expression and asked, "Can I help you, Ms. Anthony?"
She ignored his attitude and asked, "Mr. Dawson, I wanted to ask you if Miss Anderson's company matters have been settled?"
Without knowing her true intentions, he replied calmly, "It's more or less settled."
"That's good. My brother was also worried about her after hearing the news. He was even about to financially help her today. It's good that she's fine now."
Upon hearing that, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is that so?"
"That's right. My brother sympathizes with Miss Anderson. He hates people like Liam, who got to their
high positions through connections. Not only did he possess his wife's property, but he also wouldn't let his daughter have it. My brother said that to let Miss Anderson's company develop smoothly, he's going to make a business proposal for cooperation so that he can help her."
She saw his narrowed eyes and knew that he was unhappy. She came here to provoke him on purpose.
Her brother, Hardy, was a famous elite. If he helped Paige, it would definitely give Joseph a sense of crisis. If Joseph thought that Paige and Hardy were having an affair, then she would have a chance to deal with her.
"Cooperate with your company? Haha!" Joseph sneered.
Was she here to provoke him on purpose?
This was too immature of her!
A trace of disgust flashed across his eyes. "Do you have anything else to report?"
"No. Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll go and do my work first." She left awkwardly without getting what she wanted.
Seeing her leave, Joseph got up and picked up his car keys to go out.
Hardy's feelings for Paige were self-evident. Although he was well aware of Paisley's provocation, he still had to be extra safe.
Joseph drove to the Central South Building.
Paige, Aiden, and Braelynn were still studying the contract when they suddenly saw him come in. They were surprised. "Why are you here?"
He smiled cheekily as usual. "I missed you, so can't I come to see you?"
"Yes, of course, you can!" She pulled him to the sofa and sat down. "I'm about to sign the contract with Mr. Field and Mr. Cook. Do you want to have a look?"
"There's no need to look at it. What's there to look at? Would a lousy company like yours be worthy enough for the Wolf Group and the Hattelo Group to scheme against?" Joseph glanced at Braelynn, who was still carefully studying the contracts.
"If it weren't for me, they wouldn't cooperate with you at all. So it's really hurtful for you to be so suspicious."
Upon hearing his blunt explanation, Paige felt a little embarrassed and said, "Fine, I'll listen to you. I'll sign it right away!"
After signing the contract, James reminded Paige, "Since the cooperation has begun, you should send out a notice to the company. I believe that when this is announced, the company's share price will increase again.
Braelynn began to write the notice. Aiden and James didn't stay any longer and left.
Joseph and Paige personally sent them off to the elevator and watched them go in.
Then, Joseph took Paige's hand and turned around.
Without outsiders around, Paige did not care about anything. She directly asked him, "Did you ask James and Aiden to help buy the stocks?"
"That's right!"
"Whose name is the shares under? Is it James or Aiden?"
"Your name!" Joseph answered with a smile.
"What? My name? But the money belongs to them, right?"
"I lent them the money, so it's mine. Isn't it normal for it to be under your name if I bought it?"
"This... I admit that I had my doubts just now. Braelynn was worried that something might go wrong, so that made me worry as well," Paige's face turned slightly red.
"It's normal to worry. It's actually wrong to not worry. Remember, you can't trust anyone in this world except your husband!"
Paige hugged and kissed him. "You are not entirely right. Of course, I trust you unconditionally, but you are not the only one. I can also trust Abbie, Uncle Saunders, and Braelynn! However, you will always be the first person in my heart."
"In that case, do you have a reward for me, the first person in your heart?"
"Didn't I kiss you?"
"Just a kiss? I thought you would say that you wanted to marry me.”
"I've already promised to marry you, haven't I? I agreed last time."
"But we haven't even officially registered it yet. When will I be able to address you as 'Mrs. Dawson'?"
"Let's wait for two days. Once I've settled down the company, I'll take the initiative to ask you to go get the marriage certificate with me."
While they were talking as if there was no one else, Lamont came out of the office next door. His face went stiff when he overheard their conversation.
They were even talking about marriage!
This matter was getting more troublesome.
He quietly followed Paige and Joseph back to the office.
Braelynn had already written down the notice she was going to issue that night. She printed it out for Paige to check if there were any problems before signing and issuing it.
Paige read the announcement and looked at Joseph again. He glanced at it quickly and said, "Miss Saunders, you wrote this notice well. Hurry up and sign it!"
Paige picked up the pen and signed her name on it. Joseph looked at her signature and complained about it, "You have to practice your handwriting. You should write the letters in your name this way to look good. That's how you build your superior aura."
While speaking, he took the pen from her hand and signed her name in his handwriting.
"Wow, your handwriting is good. Hurry up and teach me how to sign my signature."
He did not refuse and picked up the pen to teach her how to write. Braelynn did not care about the interactions between Joseph and Paige at first.
But when she saw Joseph's signature, her expression changed. She controlled herself and walked over to Joseph and Paige. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
She said, "Sir Joseph's handwriting is really well-written. It's much better than Miss's."
Joseph was not modest at all. "That's right. I don't have other skills, but my handwriting is perfect."
"Come on! Braelynn praised you only because of me. Don't take it seriously," Paige glared at him.
Braelynn said with a smile, "I really didn't praise him for your sake. He writes very well. I think you should practice writing words other than your name and signature too. For example, the word 'agreement'. Please teach her, Sir Joseph."
Joseph did not think about it and wrote the word 'agreement' for Paige to copy.
Seeing the word written by him, Braelynn was surprised again. She unnaturally pursed her lips and stepped aside.
Lamont observed Braelynn's reaction and stepped aside with her. They were outside in the coffee room, and he lowered his voice to ask, "What happened to you just now?"
"Dad, I just realized that something weird. Sir Joseph's identity isn't so simple!"
