Liam cut Hayden's call and left the office as he asked his secretary, "Where's Miss Anderson?"

"She said that she went out for dinner!" His secretary answered.

Liam was irritated and immediately turned back to call her phone. However, her phone was busy and he complained angrily, "What the hell? Why is nothing going smoothly?"

Paige drove to the Wolf Group Hotel. The lobby manager immediately welcomed her warmly as she entered the hall, "Miss Anderson, this way, please!"

She followed the manager into the elevator as he led Paige into an elegant room.

Paige sat down and called Jospeh, "Why aren't you here yet?"

"I'll be there soon."

"How can a man let a woman wait for him? You're such a diva," She commented on purpose.

Jospeh smiled and replied, "I have a big surprise for you, so I’ll be a little late."

Paige was excited after hearing that he had prepared a surprise for her, "What is it?"

"I can't tell you!"

"Please? Just a hint!" She pleaded, "Babe, please, I'm begging you. Tell me!"

"I can't tell you. It'll be boring if I just reveal my surprise!" Jospeh remained unmoved.

"Fine, don't tell me, I don't want to know anyways. Plus, the surprise might not even be a surprise because of how unromantic you are," Paige grumbled and hung up the phone.

The doors of the private room were pushed open about 15 minutes later and Jospeh came in.

Paige turned to look at him, and he was empty-handed. She saw nothing else other than a bunch of keys in his hand.

She knew that she shouldn't have had high hopes. She was expecting Jospeh to bring a bouquet of flowers, but now, it seemed like that was a far-fetched dream as well.

Paige rolled her eyes at Jospeh, "Where's your surprise?"

"It's still in preparation. I'll take you to witness a miracle after dinner." He sat down and looked at her with a smile.

"How did you become a General Manager today?"

"No, it is not, I became the Assistant General Manager!" She corrected him.

"My bad, a slip of the tongue. Why do you suddenly want to be the Assistant General Manager? The more independent you become, the more insecure I feel."

"Who cares... I won't stop at just being a General Manager, I also want to be the Chairman. I'll make sure to take over my mother's company completely, so that the mistress' family won't have anything!"

"I love how ambitious you are!" Jospeh clapped his hands and said, "Why the sudden change of heart? Weren't you just happy while living a simple life?"

"I have to be ambitious since you're not the one. If we're both unambitious together, we would be bullied to death in the future!" Paige looked worried, "My father is clearly biased towards his mistress' family and he assumed that I don't exist sometimes. Although your father treats you well, Elizabeth and Charles are not good people either. The only reason they're treating you well now is because of your father but they will definitely bully you in the future. I have to take control of the company to shield us against any future troubles!" Jospeh's heart ached at her serious words,

"Don't worry, I'm not that bad. We don't have to worry about anything else, I'm fine as long as I can protect you!"

Paige believed his words, but he currently had to rely on Hayden as he didn't have his own power. If Hayden died one day, no one would listen to him nor back him up.

She decided to goad Jospeh as she thought about it, "You should take a leap too. I'll start from zero in the Anderson Group, and you'll start from zero in the Dawson Group as well. Let's see who's better in the future."

"Do you want to compete with me in terms of work?" Jospeh tilted his head and smiled.

"Can't I? Are you scared of me? I'm just a woman after all," Paige raised her eyebrows.

"It's boring to compete with a woman!" Jospeh put his hands around her waist with a faint smile, "I don't want you to become an independent woman, I just want one thing from you."

"What is it?" Paige asked honestly.

"I just hope you can cooperate with me in bed," Jospeh said in a low voice while nibbling her ear.

"You're so shameless!" Paige blushed and pushed him away, "Now that I have a status, you should be polite to me and greet me as Manager Anderson whenever you see me. You can't tease me as well!"

"Alright, please take care of me then, Miss Anderson!" He reached out to shake hands with her seriously.

"Thank you! Please take care of me too, Mr. Dawson!" Paige held back her laughter and put her hand in his. Jospeh held her soft hand and kissed it.

Jospeh felt his heart itch looking at Paige who was so charming. He stretched out his hands to pull her into his arms and kissed her red lips.

"Stop messing around, someone will come in!" Paige wanted to push him away, but he lowered his head without the slightest care.

Jospeh's passionate kisses made Paige lose her breath. He only let go of her and sat up straight when someone knocked on the door of the private room lightly.

The waiters came in one after another to bring their lunch in. They were all Paige's favorite spicy dishes.

Paige smiled and ate happily while Jospeh kept putting food on her plate.

She asked him as she ate, "Jospeh, I think I've gotten a little fatter. Don't you think so?"
