Charles hung up the phone and he went back to the discussion room.
Paige was uneasy as she sat in the waiting room.
Charles wasn't a kind person. Would Joseph get into trouble because of him?
Should she inform Joseph? She was so worried about him that she couldn't just sit and do nothing. As
she decided to call Joseph and inform him about it, she walked out of the room to go to the washroom.
As soon as she walked out the door, the lift chimed and Joseph walked out with his hands in his
pockets.
Bobby was behind him and they walked in the direction of Paige. She opened her mouth and intend to
say something.
However, Joseph's expression was cold to the core. He didn't even spare her a glance and he walked
past her as if they were strangers.
Paige swallowed back the words that were caught in her mouth. She felt that she was being ridiculous
and she almost wanted to laugh at herself.
Joseph now had Paisley as his girlfriend, so she might be able to help him. Anyway, who was she to
worry about him?
Paige glared at him as he walked away.
Then, she huffed and walked to the washroom.
Joseph strode into the discussion room.
Hardy and Charles were sitting at opposite sides of each other with their assistants at their sides. Their
expressions didn't look too good.
Upon hearing Joseph walk in, Charles said, "Joseph, why are you so late?"
"I overslept," Joseph said and sat down uncaringly. "Where are we now?"
Hardy's gaze swept across Joseph's attire.
He looked back at him lazily and narrowed his eyes in disdain, "Boss Joseph, it seems as though you
don't treat this collaboration seriously."
"Do I need to?" Joseph smiled faintly at him.
"You don't? Since Dawson Group is not interested in working with Acma Corporation, I guess..." Hardy
locked eyes with Joseph and said with a hint of threat.
"In that case, we can call off this collaboration, right?" Joseph tapped his slender fingers on the table
and looked at Hardy with a smile, "You seem to be very confident in yourself, Mr. Anthony."
There wasn't anything threatening about Joseph. He was just talking nonchalantly as if they were
joking. However, Hardy felt a little pressured by it.
He looked at Joseph unhappily and said, "Shouldn't I be?"
"You can, but don't get too arrogant. Everyone here is trying their best at business. It's not like Acma
Corporation is the only company in B City."
"Joseph, don't talk nonsense!" Charles was secretly happy to see Joseph and Hardy bantering with
each other. It would be better if they could even fight. If that really happened, he could tell their father
about it.
"It's not nonsense. The purpose of the partnership between Dawson Group and Acma Corporation is
for their mutual benefits. Since you are clear of the benefits Dawson Group can bring you, why are you
acting so arrogant?"
"I think you are the one that's acting arrogant. We agreed on meeting at 9. But here you are at 10
o'clock. What does this mean?" Hardy asked with a cold smile.
"There's only one thing I'd like to say. If Acma Corporation is interested in collaborating with us, you
should just sign the agreement. If you're not, we are going to look for another partner. The CEO of Wolf
Group, James Field, is already waiting for me to sign the proposed agreement."
"Wolf Group? Are you joking?" Hardy asked with a sneer.
The next second, Joseph's phone rang.
Seeing that it was James, he said, "Mr. Anthony, I think it's not a joke. James has called me, do you
want to listen?"
He answered the call in front of everyone, "Good morning, Mr. Field."
"Mr. Dawson, where are you?"
"I'm discussing the collaboration with Acma Corporation," Joseph answered.
"You're discussing it with Acma Corporation? Didn't you say that you were going to work with us on
this?"
"Mr. Field, I can't make this decision alone. My brother is in charge of this, and he had already talked
about this with Mr. Anthony. So, of course, I have to give this chance to Acma Corporation. After all,
this is on a first come first serve basis."
"What do you mean first come first serve? Hardy is really a good-for-nothing. He just likes stealing
people away and giving others false hope. He's also very arrogant, it's as if his company is the best in
the whole wide world. If you collaborate with him, you're going to have a very hard time. Just come
collaborate with me, I'm easy to work with and anything can be discussed." James criticized Hardy on
the phone and everyone listening wore incredulous expressions on their faces.
"Mr. Field, please give me a moment. I'll call you back in a while", Joseph hung up and looked at Hardy,
"Do you want this collaboration? Just give me a simple answer. If you're not interested, I'II meet with
James right away. You are not the only one we need."
Joseph was extremely arrogant and he had complete control over the situation. Hardy's expression
turned dark.
The collaboration between their companies was indeed a win-win situation for them. He had originally
wanted to gain the upper hand to get more benefits for his company.
However, he didn't expect Joseph to have already asked Wolf Group about it.
This was an obvious threat to him as he could not risk losing a partnership with Dawson Group.
Hardy's expression changed a few times as he thought about it. Finally, he suppressed his anger and
turned to Charles, "What do you think about this, Mr. Dawson? Are you going to let Boss Joseph be so
disloyal to the partnership between our companies?"
Charles had already known that they would succeed in this partnership with Acma Corporation.
However, this was not how he planned for it to happen.
He did not plan for the partnership to be sealed today either. He had wanted to let today's discussion
end badly to blame Joseph for it. And thus, he would complain about it to Hayden.
However, he did not expect Joseph to contact James before their discussion.
Surprisingly, Joseph was not sloppy with his work at all.
However, he was not so dumb as to let this opportunity slip. So he said, "This is up to you, Mr. Anthony.
If you're interested in this partnership, we shall go according to our previous agreement. Otherwise, we
can only give this partnership up."
There was a short moment of tension as both parties refused to give in. Finally, Hardy's assistant,
Bevan Shaw, broke the silence, "Mr. Anthony, this is not the first time we're working with Dawson
Group. We are already on good terms so there's no problem with going according to the previous
agreement."
Both parties then quickly signed the contract. After seeing Charles and Hardy finished signing the
agreement, Joseph stood up and stretched.
"I shall take my leave now. I haven't had my breakfast and I'm really hungry. Just call me if there's
anything else."
After saying that, he turned around and left with Bobby tailing behind him. Hardy's face turned white as
he saw how arrogant Joseph was.
He had never been taken control of in his life Joseph was the first.
Recalling Joseph's reputation, Hardy felt stifled to be controlled by him.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
He had indeed lost to Joseph this time.
Paige stayed in the washroom for a while before walking out. However, she didn't expect to see Joseph
again. He was walking out sloppily with both hands in his pockets.
His assistant, Bobby, was following him as usual.
Joseph entered the lift with Bobby as if he did not see Paige.
Watching him leave quickly, Paige didn't know how to react.
She was sure that he did not succeed in this partnership proposal. He was definitely framed by
Charles.
Looking at this incompetent and ignorant rich kid that didn't care about anything, Paige couldn't help
but worry about him.
