Chapter 259
Hayden and Paisley waited half an hour for William to arrive at the small conference room of the
Howard Group''s building.
Hayden was a little annoyed, so he picked up his phone to call William.
William''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!"
William 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 William 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
William.
Hayden took over the proposal and began to read it, but William 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! William 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!"
"William!" Hayden raised his voice.
"Stop being so loud, I''m not deaf!"
William 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 far-sightedness and unique thinking
when she asked him to look over it.She had been quite pleased with herself and she never expected
William 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.Howard, do you have a better suggestion for us to discuss then?"
"Yes, William, 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.
William 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,"
William 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 William 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 William.
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.
William took out his phone and began to text someone as they were reading the proposal.
The message was sent to Marcus, "I''ve just thought about it.We should take action first no matter what
Ronald and my dad are nning to do."
Marcus quickly replied to him, "What do you n to do, Mr.Howard?"
"Find a way to get the court to freeze all the properties of Ronald''spany.This way, he would not be
able to continue with his ns even if he wanted to."
William lived up to his reputation.He was a real businessman as he was really good at dealing with
people.
Marcus understood his orders immediately.
"Sure, I''ll arrange for someone to do it!"
Hayden and Paisley were reading the proposal while William was texting Marcus.
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, William 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."
William 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 suggest to go ahead
with the better option.
Hayden nodded with a smile, "Alright, let''s do things ording to this proposal then.William, please
discuss with Miss Anthony to see if there''s anything else to add."
William 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.
"William 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.
William 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
