He was not interested in dancing at all, but he had to dance with Paisley since she helped Hayden
before.
During the whole dance, Joseph's mind was not present, and it got worse when he saw Paige and
Hardy dancing.
Paisley could tell he was distracted and she asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"
"Nah!" he shook his head.
Since he didn't want to say anything, Paisley couldn't pester him about it. She noticed that Hardy and
Paige were dancing well together and she couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Anderson dances so well. My
brother really likes her a lot."
"Hmm?" Joseph's brows furrowed slightly.
Paisley noticed his frown and she was reminded of his conversation with Paige just now. She smiled
and explained.
"My brother has never been so attentive to girls before, let alone inviting them to dance. Miss Anderson
is an exception for him."
Joseph had a good impression of Paisley, who was gentle, polite, and smart, but he was extremely
unhappy when he heard what she had said.
Paisley seemed to not sense his displeasure and continued to speak.
"In order to get close to Miss Anderson, not only did he work with her father, but he also specially
appointed her as a designer for two companies and arranged her office to be next to his. She seems to
like my brother very much as well. I think their relationship will develop very fast."
After hearing Paisley's words, Joseph glanced in the direction of Paige and smiled gently, "I hope
things will go his way!" He said it so nonchalantly, and the malice in his eyes had also disappeared
completely.
Paisley was stunned.
She had been worried that Joseph might have feelings for Paige. However, after seeing his expression,
she felt that she was overthinking things.
She was so beautiful, talented, and came from a well-off family. How could Joseph not choose her over
Paige?
After the song ended, Joseph let go of Paisley.
She was a little reluctant to let him go because she hoped that he would invite her to dance again.
Since he didn't say anything, she did not have the nerve to ask him again.
The music started again. When she was about to say something, James walked over and said
courteously, "Would you like to dance with me, Miss Anthony?" James represented Wolf Group, and
Paisley did not dare to reject him, so she smiled and agreed. She went back to the dance floor with him
and saw Joseph heading to the table without hesitation.
He didn't care about her at all, which made her heart feel empty.
Joseph sat down and waved to the waiter serving glasses of wine. After the waiter brought the glass of
wine to him, he took a sip.
A mocking smile flashed across his face. Did Paisley find out what he was thinking about Paige?
That was why she deliberately told him so many things about Paige and Hardy in front of him. He was
actually furious when he was listening to her.
However, when he thought that Paisley might have said all of that just because she saw through his
feelings for Paige, he suppressed his anger.
He was very angry about Paige and Hardy's relationship, but it didn't mean that others could use him.
His eyes glanced over at Paige and Hardy who were still dancing, and he narrowed his eyes and
continued to drink.
Paisley was not in the mood to dance with James, but he seemed to be very interested in her. He was
unsatisfied with dancing to one song with her, so they danced to three songs continuously.
Joseph sipped on his wine while looking at Paige and Hardy on the dance floor. Soon, Aiden came
over and sat across from him.
"There will be a talent show tonight. Abbie said that Paige is really good at Latin dance and playing the
piano, so she might perform later!"
"Is that so?" Joseph replied calmly.
"Don't you want to stir things up? You don't have to pretend in front of me. I can see that your feelings
for Paige have not changed at all"
"Seriously? You can tell?"
"It's not just me, I think that Paisley can see it too. After all, you were so distracted when you were with
her, even when she was all dressed up. Something is obviously wrong, isn't it?"
"So?"
"So, you should do something for the talent show later. Just for the sake of it!"
"We'll see," Joseph replied calmly.
After the sixth song was finished, the music stopped, and the emcee of the party appeared on the
dance floor.
"Dear guests, good evening! The next event of the evening is the talent show. Guests who are
attending the party are more than welcomed to perform. In fact, I hope that the guests will participate in
it. By the way, Mr. Anthony has also specially prepared some big prizes. The ladies' first prize is the
latest Hermes handbag, while the first prize for the gentlemen is a Rolex. Lastly, the first prize for the
couples is a Patek Philippe couples watch!"
The people who attended the party were either rich or noble. Other than Sophia and Ethan, nobody
else was interested in the prizes. However, they enjoyed the atmosphere.
The host began to talk about the rules and conditions of the talent show. The participants could perform
anything with any one of their choices. At the end of the performance, everyone at the party would
vote, and the participants with the highest votes would win.
Paige did not want to take part in the show, but Abbie had been encouraging her.
"Why don't you want to participate? You might even win without even trying! Even if it wasn't for the
prize, you should perform to spite Joseph. Didn't he abandon you for Miss full-of-talent-Anthony? You
should show him your talents too and make him regret!"
"He won't regret anything!" Paige glanced at Joseph.
Seeing Paisley standing next to him as he smiled gently at whatever she was saying, Paige instantly
felt unhappy.
Even if she went to perform, what about it?
Joseph's mind was completely focused on Paisley, so she shouldn't waste her energy on him.
Paige didn't want to perform at all, but Abbie already signed her up without her consent. She didn't
know about it until the host announced her name to come on stage.
She complained to Abbie, "Abbie, I'm already in a bad mood. You just want me to make a fool out of
myself, don't you?"
"You won't make a fool out of yourself. I have confidence in you. Cheer up! Show Joseph what you can
do!"
At this point, there was no way for her to refuse, so she changed the piano performance to a pipa.
