The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 45

Driving back to the Lake View Nest, Joseph saw Paige watching TV in the living room. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Paige did not turn back and continued to stare intently at the TV.

Joseph walked over to her with a smile and took him seated by her side, "Why didn't you answer my call?"

Without a word, Paige just continued to stare at the TV screen.

"I'm talking to you. Why don't you answer me?" Joseph reached out to touch her hand.

Paige threw off his hand, "I don't want to talk to you. Get out of my sight!"

"What makes you so angry? Is it about my discharge? I'm trying to surprise you." Then he pulled a bunch of flowers from behind his back and handed them to Paige with a big smile on his face, "Thank you for taking care of me when I was sick. It's a thank-you gift."

Paige stared at the bright flowers in his hand. So beautiful and fresh the rose was!

"A bunch of flowers for me? Is this an apology?" She intended to forgive him, but it suddenly occurred to her that he was a lady-killer. So he must have done this to a lot of girls before.

But she was different with others he had served. With a scowl, she said, "It this what you've got? A bunch of roses? Who do you think I am? It's far too cheesy!"

"Cheesy?" Joseph stared at her clouded face and giggled, and took the flowers back," The first time I sent flowers to a woman, she turned me down. I'm so sad! My heart was broken!"

Hearing this, Paige paused for a moment, "The first time? Really? You are not kidding me, aren't you?"

"Cross my heart!" Joseph replied, "I'll just discard it if you don't like it!"

Paige grabbed it before he could throw it away, "Well, I'll take it then."

Seeing her holding the bunch of rose with a winning smile, Joseph reached out and scratched Paige's nose tenderly, "So you didn't tell the truth just now!"

"Yes, it was the truth. Don't try to grease my palm with such a bunch of flowers. I'm not buying it." Paige stood up and walked to her room with the flowers in her arms.

Joseph followed her, "What do I have to do to get your forgiveness? Why don't I buy you lunch?"

"No! No way. It's not enough."

"So, shall I invite you to the Wolf Group to eat delicious food, to bubble the Wolf Group hot spring, madam? What do you say?"

The delicious food and hot spring in Wolf Group made Paige's eyes light up. The next second, however, she stared at him with her hands against her sides.

"But we can't. It's too expensive. I mean everything in Wolf Group is too expensive. Have you forgotten

how poor we are now?"

"Yeah, I know. But it's free. Why not?"

"Free? What are you talking about? There are so many people waiting in line to eat at the Wolf Group and take a bath in its hot spring. Why would it let us in for free? Is it losing its mind?"

"It's not free to outsiders, of course, but they are very generous to their employees. This is a free package service for employees."

"So what are you saying, you work for the Wolf Group? Why would they hire someone who knows nothing? Why didn't you just tell me you were hooking up with some old client again?"

"No, certainly not. I do work in Wolf Group now. I don't know anything else, but I can drive very well. Considering my good looks, they hired me to drive for the CEO."

Joseph was just spouting nonsense, "Remember I didn't answer your phone this morning? I was in the middle of an interview and my phone was on silent mode, so I didn't pick up."

"Are you serious?" Paige looked at him with suspicious eyes.

"It's true. Look, this is my company ID card. "

Joseph took out a card and gave it to Paige.

Paige took it over and had a look at it. It was indeed an ID card in Wolf Group. There was a photo of Joseph on it and below the photo red, "Bob Dawson, Driver in International Administration Department,

Wolf Group".

"Bob?" Looking at the name said Paige.

"Right, Bob."

"Ehem, I can't say much for this name. This photo is not specially good as well." Paige was giving her critique on it.

Joseph tried to withhold his laughter, "James, the executive officer, is very generous to his employees. He personally interviewed me and was satisfied with me. He gave me a few free food experience cards. You wanna try it?"

Indeed, Paige wanted to give it a try, but she showed little faith in his words. She still wondered that Young Master Joseph might had hooked up with his previous customers and lied to her.

Joseph saw through her idea, "You'll believe it when you see it. So why don't you go to Wolf Group with me?"

"Okay, I'll check it out myself! Move now!" Paige nodded. She would teach him a lesson If he was lying to her.

They got prepared and went downstairs. Paige started to believe it when she saw the little golden statuette on the parked car there. It was the same car that James had taken.

"So it's true that Joseph, now Bob is working as James's driver?"

"It's not bad to drive for James. At least there won't be any hidden rules between them!'

Liam, who was in the president's office of the Central South Building, had just returned to the office from the conference room when the phone rang. It was Isabella.

Since the day in which he turned off the phone and ignored the call of Isabella and her daughter for help, Isabella had not called him for so long.

"What for this time?" Liam didn't want to answer it originally.

But he picked up the phone after a while. It came a rushed voice of Julia as the line was through, "Liam, Sophia got pregnant!"

Liam froze for a second and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Yes, it's true. I found it strange that she suddenly retched after getting up. She admitted that her period has been deferred for more than one month. It was likely a sign of pregnancy so I bought the test and it turned out that she was pregnant."

Liam held the phone tightly but said nothing. Sophia was pregnant at this juncture, which was so unexpected.

Isabella pressed, "Liam, what should we do now? We're both scared. Should Sophia abort the child?"

"Hold on! It's really out of the blue. I need some time to think it over."

Having ended the phone Isabella sneered.

Nervously Sophia questioned, "Mom, how did Dad say?"

"He need some time."

"He won't let me abort the child, right? If so, are we wasting our time?"

"No, he wouldn't have been like this in that case. He is probably watching the Dawson family."

Isabella said, "Tell Ethan that you're pregnant now. Let's watch what Ethan would do."

Sophia immediately sent him message saying, "Ethan, I'm pregnant. What should I do now?"
