Chapter 216: Chapter 216

Angus Langdon anxiously said, "Help me out, quickly!"

Paige Sterling raised an eyebrow and asked, "Young Master Langdon, are you asking me for help?"

Angus choked; he would never beg this female devil!

But as the two girls opened the door, half of his body was being dragged inside, with only his fingers clinging desperately to the doorframe.

Angus knew that if he didn’t humbly ask Paige for help, she truly intended to watch him perish without saving him.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Paige, I’m begging you, help me quickly!"

Paige chuckled and called over to the two girls.

The two girls looked over, and Paige winked at them, coolly.

The two girls immediately let go of Angus and ran over to Paige.

"Wow, sister, you’re so cool, just like our God Sterling..."

"Sister, I really like you, let’s hang out..."

Angus was dumbfounded, watching the two girls ditch him, this man full of testosterone, to flirt with a woman.

Damn, she doesn’t even let women off the hook when she’s flirting.

Look at the way she flirtatiously lifts the girl’s chin, like a seasoned playboy.

The two girls were completely smitten by her flattery.

"Sister, are you married?"

Paige replied, "Married."

Angus pouted, feeling momentarily uncomfortable inside.

The girl continued to ask, "So where’s your husband? Is he as good-looking as that guy? Is he as masculine as him?"

Angus held his breath, waiting for Paige’s answer, only to hear her say, "My man is a hundred times better-looking and a hundred times more manly than him."

Angus’s face turned utterly gloomy, even with a faint tinge of green.

What makes Julian Hawthorne so amazing, huh? In what way is he inferior to Julian Hawthorne?

The two girls then asked, "So is he as kind and cute as we are? Is he as pretty as us?"

Paige maintained a cool expression, but her words were dripping with tenderness.

"Of course he’s not as kind and cute and pretty as you two. You’re the kindest, cutest, and prettiest girls in the world."

The two girls looked elated, "Really?"

Paige nodded, "Of course it’s true."

"Wow, sister, you speak so sweetly, I really want to kiss you, can I?"

Before Paige could say a word, the two girls puckered up and moved in.

Paige stepped back, but there was a wall behind her, leaving no room to retreat.

And the force the two girls initially used on Angus was now entirely focused on her; Paige didn’t dare to be too forceful and risk hurting them, so she watched helplessly as the two girls puckered up to kiss her.

Just as their lips were about a finger width away from her, the two girls’ movements froze, and then they were tossed out, landing on Angus. Get full chapters from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Then Paige saw Julian Hawthorne.

Julian Hawthorne’s face didn’t look good, and his deep eyes were staring directly at Paige.

"So I’m not as kind and cute as they are and not as pretty? Is that from the heart?"

For heaven’s sake, how did flattering a girl end up being witnessed by Mr. Hawthorne?

Thinking of what Mr. Hawthorne might do out of anger once they got home, Paige couldn’t help but light a virtual candle for herself.

She just managed to laugh awkwardly, "Why are you here?"

"To pick you up," Julian’s eyes were fixated on her, "If I didn’t come, how could I hear these heartfelt words of yours?"

Paige continued to laugh awkwardly, "Then let’s go home."

She reached out to take Julian’s arm, but Julian instead pushed her back against the wall, came closer, trapping her between the wall and his chest. He took off his gloves, used his fingers to lift Paige’s chin, and sniffed her face, "You’ve been drinking?"

Paige said, "Just a little bit."

Julian squinted his eyes, "Now explain to me what it means that I’m not as kind and cute and not as pretty as others?"

He’s been applying face masks daily, trying so hard to take care of himself, yet to Paige, he’s still not as good-looking as someone she just met?

Paige glanced around and saw that the two girls and Angus were gone. Only then did she start to lose her tough demeanor.

In public, Boss Sterling has always been one to save face.

She hooked her arm around Julian’s neck, "Wasn’t I just being polite? You can’t expect me to tell those girls that you look ugly, right? That would be hurtful."

Moreover, kind and cute are not descriptions for men anyway.

Julian was still holding Paige’s chin, gently caressing it.

"I’ve never heard you say such polite words before."

Paige, "You know me so well; even if I don’t say it, you surely know it in your heart."

"I don’t know," Julian said, "I want to hear you say it now. What are my good qualities?"

"Can we talk about it at home?" Saying these things out here is so embarrassing.

"I want to hear it now."

Seeing Julian being persistent, Paige knew he wouldn’t give up until she spoke today.

When Mr. Hawthorne starts being petty and particular, not even Scrooge can compare.

Paige looked around and, seeing no one, finally said, "Our Mr. Hawthorne is wealthy, imposing, gentle as jade, chivalrous, and broad-minded..."

A whole slew of compliments poured out from Paige like they cost nothing.

Julian looked at her lips and then lowered his head to capture them.

He gently bit on her lip and said, "Stay away from those seductive folks; I’m very unhappy."

Afraid that Julian would take action right there, Paige nodded hurriedly, "Got it, got it."

Julian, "And don’t praise others again."

Seeing he wouldn’t stop, Paige interrupted him.

"What else, Mr. Hawthorne? Can’t we talk at home?"

Julian snorted, "Don’t flirt with others like that again!"

Paige nodded repeatedly, "Whatever you say, let’s hurry home."

Only then did Julian relent.

Before leaving, Paige went to inform the employees in the private room.

After they left, the employees started to grumble, "President Hawthorne is too petty, isn’t he? President Sterling just had a little fun, and he came out to catch her himself. Can’t he give our President Sterling some personal space?"

"Being able to let President Sterling stay out for even a little while, President Hawthorne is already being generous. Before, if President Sterling left his side for just a few minutes, he’d search the world over for her."

So Paige didn’t marry a husband; she got herself a clingy big dog, didn’t she?

As everyone was complaining about Julian Hawthorne’s pettiness, Shaun Jones walked in with a tray full of red envelopes.

"President Hawthorne said everyone worked hard, so these are red envelopes for you all."

The room burst into cheers as everyone rushed over to get a red envelope. Upon opening them and seeing the amount, it was substantial.

Just moments ago, they were calling Julian petty, but now, dazzled by money, they instantly changed their tune.

"President Hawthorne is so generous, having such a boss and a boss lady, we’re so lucky!"

"Wishing President Hawthorne and President Sterling a long life together and many children, haha..."
