Chapter 243


    In the meeting room, Hayden, Charles, and the other senior executives were already seated and they


    were waiting for William.


    William pushed open the door with a mischievous smile, "I''m notte sam I?"


    "No, you''re just in time!"


    Hayden replied as he swept his gaze over the senior executives present.


    "Now that everyone is here, let''s start the meeting! We will talk about the cooperation project with Acma


    Corporation.Everyone knows that the contract has been signed, and the next step is developing the


    project.Even though this is not the first time we are cooperating with them, it is the first big project we


    have together so far, so they''ve arranged a special representative to follow up on the project .They will


    stay and be a member of ourpany to join our meetings in the future.Please wee, Miss Paisley


    Anthony!"


    Lucas pushed the door open and Paisley walked in.


    A sneer appeared on Charles’ face when he saw Paisley.It was clear what Hayden was trying to do.


    This was a part of his n, where he arranged a woman like that to be William''s back support.


    Hayden really spoiled him.


    Charles was in a bad mood when he thought of this.


    After Paisley came in, she walked to the seat next to William in a graceful manner .As she sat down,


    she smiled at him.


    William actually smiled back at her as well.


    Hayden''s gaze swept across William''s and Paisley''s faces.


    When he saw them smiling at each other, he was extremely satisfied.


    The two of them were a perfect match for each other.


    He smiled and continued to say, "Acma Corporation ces great importance on this cooperation, and


    they have arranged for Paisley toe.She is famous for her talents, so we can''t neglect her.I will


    personally follow up on the progress of the project, and I will have someone assist it as well."


    Speaking of assistance, his gaze swept over the faces of the executives in the room and it finally fell on


    William, "The cooperation was sessful because of William, so I think he is the most suitable to


    assist us in this project.What do you all think about it?"


    Although it sounded like a question, everyone knew that it was a mere statement.


    Everyone other than William agreed to his proposal. William wore a cynical smile on his face and he


    answered in an indifferent tone even with everyone''s approval of him.


    "It''s just a stupid project.Is there a need to send a representative? Acma Corporation is really


    ridiculous, who do they think they are? Who is willing to ept this stupid project, not me!"


    His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but just enough for everyone to hear.


    Hearing this, Charles was overjoyed and he turned to look at Hayden and Paisley.


    Paisley and Hayden naturally heard it as well.


    Hayden frowned and said, "Stop fooling around!"


    "I''m telling the truth.I''m not interested in this project.You can choose another person."


    "William!"


    Hayden''s voice was a little more serious.


    "I can work on it if you want me to, but Acma Corporation has to rearrange their representative.I''m a


    loyal man.Right now, I have a girlfriend, so I don''t want to work with other women.It''ll blur some lines


    and it''s also easy for people to gossip about it!"


    This was clearly directed at Paisley.She had never thought that William would be so outrageous as to


    say such things in public.


    Hayden didn''t expect William to be so disrespectful.He shouted, "Rascal, what do you take the


    company for?"


    "I am never interested ining to work here.It is you who forced me toe here.If you''re not


    satisfied with me, I''ll leave!" William said as he got up to leave.


    Hayden was so angry that his face turned red.


    Paisley was extremely embarrassed, but Charles was secretly happy.


    For William to reject such a good offer, he really was dumb.


    Charles swore on his name that Paisley wouldn''t have the ability to persuade William to stay after all of


    thismotion.


    On the other hand, Valeria drove to the Central South Building and took the elevator to Ronald''s office.


    When she pushed the door of the office open, she shouted, "Dad, I''m here!"


    "So soon? I thought you wouldeter"


    Ronald looked up with a smile and said, "Sit down!"


    Seeing that Valeria sat down on the sofa, he immediately ordered the secretary that was outside,


    "Prepare a ss of fruit juice for my daughter and use freshly squeezed fruit juice."


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    When she heard him telling his secretary to make the juice, she sneered in her heart.


    She sat down quietly and said, "Dad, I have something to tell you! I''m nning toe to thepany


    to work."


    "Huh? Why do you suddenly want to do that?"


    Ronald''s face was stiff.


    Obviously, he was caught off guard by her.


    "It''s not like I''ve never worked before.I used to enjoy designing, but I''m tired of it now.I don''t want to


    continue to make meaningless designs like this every day.You''re old, and you must be less energetic


    than before, so I n toe over to help you."


    "You should be enjoying yourself at this age.I''m fine and I''m still in good health.I can do this for another


    few decades without any issue " Ronald refused.


    "You are in good health now, but who knows what will happen in the future? Wasn''t mum doing well


    before, too? But she left so easily.I''ve thought about it.I think it''s better for me toe to thepany


    to learn when you are still able to teach me.Otherwise, I won''t know what to do if you suddenly fall ill."


    "You think too much.How can there be so many idents?"


    When they talked about Natalie, the smile on Ronald''s face was forced.


    "I have to think more! Last night, I dreamt of her.She was sobbing, and she said that I didn''t listen to


    her...I woke up with a heavy feeling in my heart."


    Valeria sighed and said, "I think she is ming me.She''s been expecting so much from me, but I didn''t


    listen to her and insisted on doing design.Maybe this was her way to tell me to learn how to run the


    company.That''s the only way she can rest peacefully."


    Valeria said it as a matter of fact.


    Ronald could no longer maintain the smile, and he said, "Dreams are the opposite of reality.Don''t pay


    too much attention to them."


    "How can I not pay attention to it? Thispany is founded by my mother.It can''te to an end in my


    hands, can it? Even if it''s just to make her feel at ease, I must at least try my best from now on"


    Valeria looked sad, but her attitude was unshakeable.


    Ronald''s mouth twitched when he saw her stubborn attitude.


    "But you don''t know anything.What can you do in thepany? Someone willin if you''re in the


    top management, but being a staff member is definitely not in line with your identity."


    "Who will dare toin about me?" Valeria sneered.


    "Anyway, I am a major shareholder of thepany.As the only heir of the Brownard Group, isn''t it a


    little ridiculous if I have to work around other people''s judgments?"


    Valeria suddenly lost herposure.


    Ronald was scared and embarrassed as he was caught by surprise today.


    Originally, he thought that his n against her was an easy sess, but he never thought she had this


    up to her sleeve.


    He suppressed his anger and let out a hollowugh, and said, "You maye to work, but we have to


    make sure it''s well nned out.Give me some time to think about it."


    After that, he called the secretary, "What happened to the juice that I asked you to prepare? Why is it


    taking so long?"
