The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 320

Joseph was preparing to leave the hospital with Paige, whose fever had gone, when the maid that Lucas had sent arrived with a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.

Joseph reached over for the soup and poured a bowl for Paige delightedly. It was obvious that she needed it after having four IV drips just now.

However, Paige refused to drink as she disliked the bitter taste of ginseng. Joseph could only feed her slowly while persuading her with gentle words until she had finished the entire bowl.

The maid was stunned as she never knew that Joseph was such compassionate and gentle.

When she left the hospital, she immediately gave Lucas a call to update him, "Sir Joseph is fine, he gave the soup to Miss Anderson because she wasn't feeling well."

"Do you mean Sir Joseph is not sick?" Lucas was stunned as there would be trouble again.

"Yeah, he was just accompanying Miss Anderson to the hospital," the maid continued, "They both finished the soup together though."

"Alright, thank you." Lucas sighed before hanging up his phone.

After some debate, Lucas decided not to report the truth to Hayden as he was worried about Hayden's temper.

While he had just made the decision, Hayden came up to him to ask for an update, "How's Joseph?"

"H... He's doing alright," Lucas stammered in shock.

"Tell me the truth," Hayden narrowed his eyes on Lucas nervous expression.

Lucas couldn't keep the secret anymore, "Sir Joseph's fine, he was just accompanying Miss Anderson to the hospital as she wasn't feeling well."

Hayden tried to control the rage that was churning inside him as his eyes burned in fury.

Seeing how Paige was still by Joseph's side after so long, meant that Joseph was actually serious about his relationship with her. None of his previous flings lasted more than three months.

Hayden had been sure that he could convince Joseph to break up with Paige, but today's incident had proved otherwise.

He leaned back on his chair deep in thought, before asking Lucas, "Do you think I've gone too far by working with Liam to deal with Paige?"

Lucas smiled bitterly, "You wouldn't have colluded with Liam if you knew of another way to settle this."

"Working with Liam has ruined my reputation completely. I thought long and hard about it last night, now that Joseph are Paige are in a relationship, has I been wrong from the start?"

"You're right..." Lucas paused, "Sir Joseph has a stubborn personality and he might go against you if he found out that you had bought over Anderson Group."

Hayden agreed while nodding, "Do you have any suggestions for me then?"

"I think you should meet with Miss Anderson and advise her to break up with Sir Joseph. With his ego, I don't think he would beg her to stay if she did. This would kill two birds with one stone as you would be able to continue with your plans without Joseph going against you."

Hayden paused before agreeing to Lucas' suggestion, "Alright, you go and distract Joseph somehow so that I can meet Paige alone."

When they left the hospital, Joseph had wanted Paige to rest at home but she insisted on going to work as she was feeling better.

Seeing how persistent Paige was, Joseph had no choice but to drop Paige off at the Central South Building.

He only drove off once he saw that Paige had walked through the main door.

Liam and Kyrie were both not in the company when she arrived, and the secretary in charge also reported that Liam had not arrived for work today.

Paige knew that Liam had given up on the company now since he had transferred ownership of the company to Hayden.

Unlike him, Paige would not give up.

Then, Paige sat down and started to go through all the documents in detail. She believed that she would be able to run the company alone just like her mother did. She would not let her mother's beloved company fall into Hayden's hands.

She had been working for about half an hour when she received a call from Lucas, "Hello Miss Anderson, are you free to meet with our Master right now?"

"Sure!" Paige did not refuse his request.

After giving Paige the address to the coffee shop and reminding her to keep this meeting a secret from Joseph, Lucas hung up.

While Paige arrived at the coffee shop ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, Hayden only arrived right on the meeting time.

Paige had heard that negotiation experts like Hayden would arrive right on time to ensure that they had an upper hand. She had to prepare herself for the tough negotiation that was about to come.

She stood up and greeted Hayden politely, "Nice to see you again, Mr. Dawson!"

"Have a seat," Hayden appeared to be in a better mood compared to yesterday as he gestured for Paige to sit down. However, his strict gaze was fixed on Paige the whole time and he did not touch the coffee that had been served.
