The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 356

In the morning, Paige was awakened by the ringtone of her phone.

She grabbed the phone and answered it.

Lamont's voice came from the other end, "Miss, I'm already here. When will you come out?"

She turned over and sat up. "Give me two minutes. I'll be ready right away.

She hung up the phone and got dressed in a flurry. Joseph was not in the room, so she rushed into the bathroom to wash up.

She brushed her teeth and washed her face in less than two minutes, and she ran downstairs without even putting on makeup.

She bumped into Joseph, who was going up the stairs.

He had a glass of milk in his hand and saw her flustered manner. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"How nice of you to ask me that! Why didn't you wake me up? Uncle Saunders is already waiting for me at the door."

"Do you have to go?" He handed her the milk.

"You're the boss. Don't you know that bosses can go to work at their own times?"

"That's true, but today is the first day I'm taking over the company. What will people think of me if I'm

late?"

"Wrong! The later you go, the better it will be." Joseph did not care at all. "Your dad's trusted subordinates are waiting for you to come over so that they can mess with you. You have to let them wait until they get anxious and then appear when they've already given up."

Paige was enlightened after listening to his words. "That's true! I dealt with my father this way yesterday, so I should do the same today."

After she gulped down the milk, Joseph took the empty cup and said, "Go do your makeup and dress up. We're not only going there to deal with people but also to show everyone you're the most beautiful person!"

"Okay!" She turned around obediently. "But Uncle Saunders is still waiting in the car outside."

"Let him wait. Isn't he a bodyguard? It's perfectly fine to let him wait for you. As you can see, Bobby is also on standby all the time."

As he said that, he pushed her into the bedroom. She sat down and began to put on makeup. She applied a little powder on her face. Suddenly, she thought of the money deal. "Where's the congratulatory gift you're going to give me? Is it ready?"

"It is ready!" He took out a card from his pocket and handed it to her.

"How much is inside?" She asked curiously.

"You'll know when you go back and check." He refused to tell her.

Paige became more curious. "Who lent it to you? James or Aiden?"

"James lent it to me." He answered, "Not only did I borrow money from James, but I also asked the Wolf Group to do you a little favour. Anyway, you can do things calmly without panicking today."

"Well, I'II believe you for the time being!" Paige said as she continued putting on her make-up.

Lamont and Braelynn waited in the car for a while, but they didn't see her come down.

Braelynn glanced at her watch and asked, "Why hasn't Miss Anderson come out yet?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"Maybe she drank too much last night. There's no need to rush anyways. We are not in a hurry to go to the company," Lamont replied and glanced at his mobile phone.

Archer had just sent him a message. "I've already transferred the money to your account."

"Thank you, President Saunders! On behalf of President Garcia, thank you for helping Miss Paige." Lamont sent back.

"You're welcome. You can ask me again if you need any help. By the way, Savannah might make a move soon. Be careful."

"I know, I won't let her have a chance again!" Lamont sent the message and put his phone away.

Paige came out with Joseph by her side.

She wore professional formal attire, high heels, and she tied her hair in a bun.

Compared to her usual look, this Paige was completely different. Joseph, who was next to her, was also dressed in formal attire. It was completely different from their usual casual appearance.

When Braelynn saw the two of them appear, a smile flashed across her face. "D*mn! Miss Anderson and Sir Joseph really make a good pair!"

Lamont did not speak. He got out of the car and opened the door. Paige turned around and hugged Joseph. "Joseph, I am suddenly a little scared!"

"Don't be afraid! I'm here. Don't worry, I will stand firmly behind you and support you the whole time! No one can bully my wife except me!"

"Hey, how dare you bully me?"

"I'm just kidding. Don't worry and go. Nothing will happen," he comforted her and kissed her on the forehead. Then, she got in the car.

In the Anderson Group, Liam's trusted subordinates gathered in the president's office with their resignation letters, waiting for Paige to show up.

It was nine clock, but she was nowhere to be seen.

These people began to murmur, "What's going on? Is she going to be late for her first day of work? Did

she get scared?"

"She must be scared! She's just a little girl who has never been involved in management. What does she know?"

"There are still more problems waiting for her! The stock market will open right away, and hundreds of thousands of stocks will drop, and its price will fall to an all-time low. I'm sure she will cry!"

"Yes, let's look at the stock market first!" At nine o'clock in the morning, the stock market opened. As expected, the Anderson Group's stock market fell harshly because of the change in personnel.

Liam's trusted subordinates laughed and said, "I thought it was going to be a drop in tens of thousands of stocks. Look at it! Five million stocks have been dropped. At least ten of them have a loss, right?"

"That's right. When the time comes, Mr. Anderson can buy the stocks at a low price, and Paige will be forced out of her position!"

These people were in high spirits. After waiting for more than an hour, Paige still did not appear.

Liam called them to ask, "How's it going?"

"She hasn't arrived yet!"

"Why is she still not there yet? I think she's scared... Let the secretary urge her," he ordered.

They looked for her secretary and ordered them to call her. Paige's secretary was also hired by Liam, so they were on the same boat as his trusted subordinates.

Immediately, they dialled her phone.

Paige answered the phone, "What is it?"

"Miss Anderson, when will you come over?" The secretary asked in a respectful tone.

"I don't have time now. I'm busy," She answered faintly.

"But now there are a lot of people waiting for you," the secretary immediately replied.

"Really? Who are they? What are they going to do?" She asked.

"The executives want to resign. They are all seniors from the major departments," the secretary added a few keywords on purpose.

"Well, help me approve of their requests then!"

"Approve it?" The secretary thought that he had misheard her. "Miss Anderson, they're all core members of the company. They're important people. If you approve it..."

"Approve it. I was just worried that there would be no space for my people to work. This is perfect timing. Let them leave if they want to leave. Approve them so they can go to the finance department to get their salary. When I come back, I don't want to see any of them left!"
