Chapter 307


    Hayden and Paisley waited half an hour for Joseph to arrive at the small conference room of the


    Dawson Group''s building.


    Hayden was a little annoyed, so he picked up his phone to call Joseph.


    Joseph''s ringtone rang from outside the door. He walked in nonchntly once the door was pushed


    open.


    Hayden hung up the phone angrily and nced at the time after seeing him walk in, "You''rete! I''ll let


    you off today. If you''rete again next time, I’ll deduct your bonus!"


    Joseph raised his eyebrows upon hearing Hayden''s words before replying, "I still have a bonus?


    Speaking of which, Chairman, how much is my bonus per month? Is it enough for me to have a good


    meal in the Wolf Group?"


    "We are working right now, so let''s talk about work first," Hayden red at Joseph with a headache. He


    then looked at Paisley and said, "Paisley, didn''t you prepare a proposal? Let''s have a look at it."


    Paisley smiled and handed out the copies of the proposal that she had prepared to Hayden and


    Joseph.


    Hayden took over the proposal and began to read it, but Joseph didn''t move at all. He was on his


    phone the whole time.


    Seeing him on his phone, Hayden reminded him unpleasantly, "We''re at work, and we can''t go on our


    mobile phones during working hours!"


    Joseph put away his phone and flipped the proposal impatiently. He nced through the pages


    casually before frowning, "What kind of proposal is this? All sorts of nonsense!"


    "Joseph!" Hayden raised his voice.


    "Stop being so loud, I''m not deaf!" Joseph opened the proposal and pointed at some sentences, "Here,


    here, and here. Is this an elementary school student''s work?"


    Paisley''s face was flushed. She had worked for more than ten hours to prepare the proposal, and she


    thought that it was written very well.


    Hayden had praised her for her farsightedness and unique thinking when she asked him to look over it.


    She had been quite pleased with herself and she never expected Joseph to criticize her like that.


    Paisley could not stand this kind of humiliation no matter how patient she was.


    She looked at him and said, "Mr. Dawson, do you have a better suggestion for us to discuss then?"


    "Yes, Joseph, if you have a better idea, just say it. It''s irresponsible to criticise other people''s work


    without giving any useful feedback."


    Hayden was clearly on her side. Joseph raised his eyebrows with a faint smile, "I did not criticise her


    work for no reason. I came to my conclusions afterparing her work with others."


    "Comparing? Where did you get theparison?" Hayden asked.


    "Wait a minute," Joseph picked up his phone and called someone, "Steven, bring out the proposal you


    wrote yesterday and show it to the chairman and Miss Anthony!"


    "Secretary Barrack actually wrote a proposal?" Hayden had a look of suspicion on his face.


    "Yeah, I asked him to write it yesterday. I didn''t think it was any good when he showed it to me just now,


    but it''s apletely different levelpared to this."


    Was he trying to say that her proposal was not evenparable to that of a secretary''s?


    Paisley''s face turned pale as she hadpletely felt his hostility. How much hatred did he have for her


    that he had to talk down on her like that?


    She suppressed the anger bubbling in her heart. She wanted to see how good the secretary''s n


    was. When the time came, she wouldn''t even need to say anything because Hayden would back her


    up. She wanted to see if Joseph had any more snarkyments against that.


    Steven Barrack brought his proposal to them a few minutester, and he had also made three copies of


    it as Paisley did. One copy was given to Hayden, and another to Paisley.


    Thest one was ced in front of Joseph.


    Hayden flipped it casually and took a nce.


    However, his facial expressions changed as he began to read through the proposal carefully.


    Paisley also opened the proposal. She had just wanted to put on an act, but her face changed when


    she began to read the actual content in it.


    Even if she didn''t want to admit it, this proposal was much better than the one she wrote.


    Joseph took out his phone and began to text someone as they were reading the proposal.


    The message was sent to James, "I''ve just thought about it. We should take action first no matter what


    Liam and my dad are nning to do."


    James quickly replied to him, "What do you n to do, Mr. Dawson?"


    "Find a way to get the court to freeze all the properties of Liam''spany. This way, he would not be


    able to continue with his ns even if he wanted to."


    Joseph lived up to his reputation. He was a real businessman as he was really good at dealing with


    people. James understood his orders immediately.


    "Sure, I''ll arrange for someone to do it!"


    Hayden and Paisley were reading the proposal while Joseph was texting James.


    The two of them spent half an hour reading the n carefully and thoroughly.


    Hayden was speechless as he had nothing to say. This proposal was much better than Paisley''s, so


    there was no reason for him to defend her.


    Paisley knew very clearly that the proposal in front of her was indeed better than the one she wrote,


    and she could not deny this fact even if she wanted to.


    Whatever, Joseph already had biased opinions about her anyways. He would only look down on her


    further if she refused to admit defeat and asked Hayden for help.


    She might as well admit the truth now to get out of this awkward situation. She was indeed less


    capable than his secretary.


    She took the initiative to say, "Sir Hayden, this proposal is indeed much better than my n. I think we


    should use this n as it would be a win-win situation for ourpany. Let''s start the project ording


    to this proposal."


    Joseph looked at Paisley. He could not deny that she was a very intelligent person. She had


    showcased her grit and emotional intelligence by admitting defeat and suggested to go ahead with the


    better option.


    Hayden nodded with a smile, "Alright, let''s do things ording to this proposal then. Joseph, please


    discuss with Miss Anthony to see if there''s anything else to add."

    Joseph narrowed his eyes, "I didn''t write this proposal, so Miss Anthony and I might not be able to


    come up with a conclusion. Let Steven and her talk about it!"


    "Uh!" Hayden''s beard shook and he was about to lose his temper. Paisley immediately tried to make


    the situation better with a smile after seeing his.


    "Joseph is right. The n was written by Steven, so it''s better to discuss it with the author. I''ll discuss it


    with him now."


    Paisley had tried to lighten up the situation, so Hayden had no other choice but to agree.


    Joseph stood up casually, "Steven, why don''t you discuss things with Miss Anthony? I''ve got too many


    things to attend to, so I''ll go back first. After you guys discuss the results, you cane back and


    report it to me!” He turned around and left after finishing his words.


    Hayden watched him leave angrily with his eyes wide and nose re, but there was nothing he could


    do.
