The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 43

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!"

Joseph laughed, "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 explain, "Let me tell you, I am not interested in you. I just accidentally touched you. Don't think too much."

"Did you accidentally touch my face with your lips? Isn't your explanation too far-fetched? I'll forgive you, so you don't have to explain."

"Isn't he too shameless?" She thought, "I'm just making it clear."

Joseph asked slowly, "Don't you think your explanation 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 blame 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 the ladies' houses.

She was even kind enough to come 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 joyful laughter coming from behind her.

How could he still laugh? 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 our company. Dismissing her when she has done nothing wrong is potentially dangerous. If she gets a lawyer to counter-sue our company, the consequences will be serious."

The manager's reminder made Elizabeth come 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?"

"How do I know? You're too bold, aren't you? The company 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 were laughing 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 become 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 of composure. 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 black 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 him last 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.
