Chapter 43
When Joseph''s face touched Paige''s lips, time stood still and they stared at each other.
When Joseph''s face touched Paige''s lips, time stood still and they stared at each other.
After a while, a tingle of red flew from Paige''s face. She retreated a few steps back in a hurry and stood
still, in a flurry.
"I didn''t mean it. Why did you turn around? You did it on purpose, didn''t you? You''re really shameless!"
Josephughed, "Can you tell me why I''m shameless?"
"You are!" Paige blushed and her lips seemed to retain some of the heat from his face.
What a strange feeling. Her heart was thumping. Would young Master Joseph think she had kissed him
on purpose?
She had to exin, "Let me tell you, I am not interested in you. I just identally touched you. Don''t
think too much."
"Did you identally touch my face with your lips? Isn''t your exnation too far-fetched? I''ll forgive
you, so you don''t have to exin."
"Isn''t he too shameless?" She thought, "I''m just making it clear."
Joseph asked slowly, "Don''t you think your exnation gives the impression that you''re hiding
something? I know what you mean. Anyway, I''ve sold myself to you. Anything you do is reasonable,
isn''t it?"
"What are you talking about? You sold yourself to me?" Joseph''s words became more flirtatious and
Paige''s face suddenly turned red.
"Didn''t you buy me for 100 million? I''m already yours, not to mention a kiss, even if you want to do
something else, I have no reason to refuse. But I''m not feeling well right now. I''ll see about it when I get
better." He implied that she intended to do something else to him. He was too shameless, "Who wants
to have sex with you? Why do you think so much of yourself?"
"Don''t deny it. If you do, you are trying to cover it up. I won''t me you anymore. Why are you so
excited?"
The little rabbit''s flushed face looked like a red apple, and he really wanted to take a bite.
Joseph was extremely happy, while Paige was fuming with anger, "Was he flirting with me?"
It was so infuriating that he thought of her as one of those rich women whom he often served.
She would definitely be at a disadvantage if she were to talk glibly with a person like Joseph who
frequented thedies'' houses.
She was even kind enough toe and see him. How brain dead. Paige was so angry that she
grabbed her bag and strode out of the ward, with the sound of Joseph''s joyfulughtering from
behind her.
How could he stillugh? How could he be so shameless?
Paige was so angry that she quickened her pace and rushed into the elevator.
In the ward, upon hearing the hurried footsteps outside, Joseph stopped smiling and thought for a
moment. Then he picked up his phone and dialled.
"Ethan threatened to fire Paige. I don''t think he''ll be so stupid as to fire her directly. He must have other
means. Keep an eye on him. How dare he bully my woman. I''ll strip all of his teeth and pawls!"
Just like Joseph thought, after arguing with Paige, Ethan angrily called the HR department and told
them to fire her immediately.
The personnel manager hung up Ethan''s call and immediately called Elizabeth, "Madam, I have
something to report. Manager Green just called me and asked me to fire Paige immediately."
"Then fire her as what he said." Elizabeth took it lightly.
"Madam, Paige is an official employee of ourpany. Dismissing her when she has done nothing
wrong is potentially dangerous. If she gets awyer to counter-sue ourpany, the consequences will
be serious."
The manager''s reminder made Elizabethe to her senses, "I know, let me deal with it!"
After hanging up, Elizabeth called Ethan and said, "I heard that you are going to fire Paige?"
"How did you know, Aunt?" Content ? N?velDrama.Org.
"How do I know? You''re too bold, aren''t you? Thepany is owned by the Dawson family, not the
Green family. Even if you are the manager, you don''t have any right to fire her."
"Aunt, what do you mean? Why don''t I have the right to fire her? Paige made me so shameful.
Although my colleagues didn''t dare to say so, they wereughing at me behind my back. If I don''t expel
her, it will be hard to ease the hatred in my heart!"
"Use your brain. For you to fire Paige when she had done nothing wrong, are you worried that Paige
has no reason to sue you?"
"How dare she!" Elizabeth''s words made Ethan short of breath. When he thought of Paige''s disdainful
attitude towards him, he believed that she really dare to.
He panted, "Am I just going to submit to humiliation and let her get away with it? Don''t I want to save
face?"
"Did I say that I would let you submit to humiliation? Please think carefully before doing. It''s not wrong
to fire Paige but it''s your fault that you fired her without any proper reason. You''re just giving her
reasons to charge on you!"
Elizabeth''s reminder made Ethan understand and he said, "I know. I will find a reasonable and legal
reason to deal with her."
"That''s more like it! Remember to make everything in a desperate situation so that Paige can''t make a
comeback."
Paige went straight back to the apartment after being teased by Joseph. She thought he would realize
his mistake when she got angry.
He would text or call her to apologize, which he did not do until the evening.
She had thought that she would send him food after he sent an apology text, but he didn''t do anything
at all.
It was too much of infuriating. Why didn''t he have any self-knowledge at all?
He was so handsome and must have been in the headlines of Climax Space, so he didn''t have the
awareness to apologize.
"I can''t let him get away with it or he will be more so. It''s just verbal flirting now, but in time he''ll
take liberties with me. I have to make him know that he''s wrong."
He didn''t apologize, she would never talk to him. This night, Paige was so angry that she just ate
something and then went to sleep.
In the morning, she woke up very early. She habitually took her mobile phone to take a look, but there
was still no messages from Joseph.
He''s got a lot ofposure. Would she never care about him if he didn''t apologize?
He was a patient now, and Paige felt that she could not be angry with the patient.
"Calm down and take some food to him first, and then I''ll talk about it with him when he recovers."
She felt a little better when thinking about it.
She bought a ck fish, had it killed, went home and made a pot of fish soup, packed it and carried it
to the hospital.
It was about ten o''clock when Paige arrived at the hospital. When she pushed open the door of the
ward, there was no one inside.
Joseph was not in the ward. The beds were neatly organised in such a way that no one lived in.
"Is he out of the hospital?"
Paige turned around and looked for the nurse, who told her that Joseph had left the hospital early in the
morning.
"Where did he go if he didn''t go home from hospital?"
Could it be because she didn''t visit himst night that he went back to his old job at Climax Space in
anger, is it?
What a milksop!
Paige was so angry and anxious that she immediately called him, regardless of the fact that she was
still in a fit of anger with Joseph.
No one answered the phone. How dare he not answer her calls? This was outrageous!
"B*stard Joseph! I''ll never speak to you again.
