The Mysterious Billionaire

After leaving the room, Paige strode out of the club lounge and headed to her car.

When she was about to get on, the door of the car that parked next to her opened as a tall man approached her, "Nice to meet you, Miss! I'm Lamont Saunders."

"Lamont?" The man standing in front of Paige was broad and had defined facial features. She had heard that Lamont was more than forty years old, but this man looked like he was in his late twenties.

"Yes, that's me!" Lamont smiled as he looked closely at Paige.

Paige had grown up well, she certainly looked a lot more mature than she was four years ago.

She had inherited the excellent genes of Natalie and Archer. However, Lamont personally thought that Paige was more beautiful than Natalie ever was.

"Let's find a place to talk, shall we?"

"Alright," Paige nodded, "Declan and my father are still in the club lounge, and it would be troublesome if they saw me. Why don't we go to the coffee shop there?"

"Alright!" They were making their way to the coffee shop when Paige's phone rang.

Liam's concerned voice could be heard from the other end, "Paige, where are you?"

"Dad, I'm off to take care of Abbie as she hasn't been feeling well!" Paige lied.

"What? You've left the lounge?" Liam shouted into the phone.

"Yeah, I'm going to see how Abbie's doing because I'm really worried about her! I'll leave the matters of our cooperation with President Campbell to you," Paige continued before Liam could interrupt her, "Anyways, I'm driving now so I'll talk to you later!"

Liam was furious as Paige had hung up on him, "D*mn!"

Declan had heard their conversation clearly, and he was upset because it felt like Paige had escaped from his arms.

"Mr. Anderson, could Paige be suspicious of our plans?"

"I doubt it, Paige is a straightforward and innocent child. She wouldn't have been able to do so," Liam argued thinking that Paige trusted him completely.

"I believe in you. She's really gorgeous, and I can't wait to have her in my bed!" Declan smiled gleefully at the thought of having Paige all to himself.

"President Anderson, don't worry, its only a matter of time before she falls into your hands," Liam promised.

"That's good to hear, why don't you try again later tonight?" Declan requested eagerly.

"Sure, I'm on it!" Liam agreed quickly.

Paige and Lamont sat down in the coffee shop as a waitress brought them their orders. She glanced at Lamont out of curiosity as she stirred her drink, "You look a lot younger than I thought you would be."

"I'm turning 48 this year, how is that young!" Lamont replied with a smile.

"Oh please, you look more like a handsome man in their thirties," Paige praised him profusely.

Lamont chuckled in reply, "Well, thank you for the praise Miss Anderson! Let's get back to the main topic though, what are your plans after this?"

"I have none," Paige sighed as an upset expression crossed her face.

"I used to be a rebellious and playful child that would rely on my mother whenever I faced any troubles. Now that I'm facing this horrible situation myself, I have no idea what to do."

"It's alright Miss. I'll always be here to support you as you work on improving yourself and fighting back against your enemies!"

"Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it! I want to take over the reigns of Anderson Group from my father. The problem is that he has been the head of the company for so long, and the employees in the company trust him so much. Not to mention, there's also the problem of him selling off the company! I don't even know where to start!"

Lamont nodded as he heard her complaints, "Let's face our problems one at a time. How about recruiting employees of your own and working together with them from scratch?"

"I guess this is the only thing that I can do for now."

"Oh right, do you know why Hayden and Liam are suddenly colluding against you? I've been really curious about it and was wondering if you knew the reason behind it."

"Oh yes, I'm dating Joseph from the Dawson family. Hayden doesn't like me at all. I guess he's colluding with my father out of annoyance because I wouldn't break up with Joseph."

Lamont was surprised after hearing Paige's explanation, "Wait…how could this be? You're going out with Joseph of the Dawson family?"

"Why are you so surprised?"

"I've heard rumors of Joseph being a useless child? How could you date...?"

"You've heard wrong then. If you don't want to anger me, please stop bringing up these rumors. Joseph is actually very talented, and those rumors do no justice to him!" Paige interrupted Lamont.
