The next day, Paige and Joseph landed at the international airport at B City after being on a plane for
nearly twenty hours.
It was only a few hours away from dawn as they touched down, but Paige was wide awake because
she had rested well on the plane.
She wanted to go to Abbie's quickly, and Joseph generously dropped her at where she wanted.
Abbie had been walking to the living room groggily to check on the noises when she saw someone
unexpected. She squealed, "Paige! Why didn't you tell me you're coming back!?"
"Surprise!" Paige laughed and handed Abbie's souvenir to her. "This is for you. Open it up and tell me if
you like it."
"I know I'II love it," Abbie answered without even looking at it, "Give me a few minutes. I'll wash up, and
we'll have breakfast at Wolf Group. I'm paying today!"
Paige took a seat on the sofa and smiled at her words, "Hurry up then. I'm starving already."
She didn't wait long. Abbie returned to the living room quickly in a fresh set of clothes without any
makeup, as she dragged Paige out of the door excitedly.
Paige vividly recounted her adventures with Paisley and Danya on their way to Wolf Group.
Abbie laughed out loud when she finished the story, "Good job, Paige! I thought you'd be bullied again,
but it looks like I've underestimated you after all."
"I had to be smart," Paige sighed. "Don't you remember what Isabella and Sophia did to me? I learnt
from my mistakes, I guess."
Abbie nodded, but she was a little concerned, "Paisley isn't going to let you get away with this. She
thinks so highly of herself, but you managed to win against her this time. Please be careful from now
on."
"I know," Paige replied as she was prepared for Paisley's wrath as well, "By the way, have you got any
news on my dad's paternity tests?"
"I was just about to tell you this. Aiden said your dad fainted and was sent to a doctor after getting the
results back." Abbie said warily, unsure about the details. "We don't know why and how though."
Paige was shocked, "What? Is it that bad? I have to go see him…"
Abbie shook her head and cut her short, "No, hear me out. He's fine and energetic now. Don't worry."
"How could I not? He was still inured when I left with Joseph, I don't even know whether he's recovered
now! Drop me at my dad's company later after breakfast. I'll need to give him his souvenir anyway,"
Paige insisted.
Abbie stopped trying as she knew that she could not dissuade Paige from meeting Liam. Soon, the car
stopped in front of the main entrance of Wolf Group Hotel.
They got out of the car and walked a few steps towards the main entrance when Paige suddenly
noticed an Aston Martin near the parking spaces. "That's Joseph's car! Why is he here?"
"What's so strange about that?" Abbie shrugged.
"He's supposed to be at Dawson Manor. He said he's going home." Paige shook her head.
"Maybe he changed his mind after going home and decided to have breakfast with us here," Abbie
didn't seem to think that it was a problem at all, "If he's here, you can call him and ask if he wants to
join us."
"Nah, not today," Paige turned down her suggestion, "I don't have time for him. I'll be meeting my dad
later."
She was not convinced by Abbie's theory as it would take at least two hours for a round trip between
the Dawson Manor and Wolf Group Hotel. Therefore, it was impossible for Joseph to go back forth in
such a short time.
That meant that Joseph lied to her about going home to the manor, but why? Paige asked herself.
However, she had to put her suspicions behind her as she had no answers to the question for now.
She walked into the hotel with Abbie. The lobby manager came forth to welcome them with a warm
smile, "Good day, Miss Anderson and Miss Cook. Come with me, please."
"What is this about?" Abbie was confused.
"Sir Joseph has arranged breakfast for both Miss Anderson and Miss Cook. He has also requested that
I wait for the both of you here," he answered politely.
Paige and Abbie exchanged looks with each other after hearing his answer. Then, Paige asked, "How
did he know about my arrival?"
"No idea, Miss. He just asked me to wait for both of you to that I can bring you to your table. Now,
please follow me, ladies!" Paige and Abbie followed the lobby manager without second thoughts since
Joseph was the one who had arranged it. He brought them to a private room where there was already
a table filled with breakfast dishes.
Both of their eyes lit up, and they sat down and began digging into the delicacies without further
invitation.
After the feast, the lobby manager sent them to the main entrance of the hotel. He gave Paige his
business card respectfully, "Please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future. I'll arrange
for you."
Paige thanked him and got into the car with Abbie, who was at a loss for words. Abbie started the
engine and began asking questions, "I thought Joseph was just a useless brat. Why on earth did the
lobby manager follow his instructions down to a tee?"
"I guess he probably paid a lot of money?" Paige could only take a wild guess.
Abbie shook her head and said, "That's not possible, the Wolf Group doesn't treat their guests
differently according to their wealth. They've kicked an entitled brat out of their hotel before just
because he demanded VIP service."
"Well, Paige remembered Joseph saying that he was a male escort who happened to be driving for
James, "Joseph is close with James."
"That might be it." Abbie agreed as it was the only explanation that made sense currently, "It's really a
miracle that James and Joseph are good friends. Joseph is... the total opposite of James."
Abbie realised that she might have said something wrong and explained quickly, "Paige, I'm not saying
that Joseph is... mean, he doesn't exactly have spotless record so I can't bring myself to believe that he
changed overnight. Please don't be mad at me."
"It's alright, Abbie," Paige smiled. "I know what you mean. But it's best if you don't mention this in front
of Joseph. He can be pretty prideful, so he would be sad."
"I know. I'II keep this between us," Abbie replied as she pulled up at the entrance of the Central South
Building.
Paige got out of the car and took out the present she kept in the trunk. Then, she walked to Abbie's
window, "Abbie, wait for me. I'll come right back down."
"Wait, I'll come with you," Abbie stopped Paige and turned off the car engine, "Your dad is such a prick.
Who knows what he'll do to you." Abbie insisted and Paige could not refuse as this was a valid reason.
The both of them walked through the Central South Building with Paige holding Liam's gift. When they
finally walked through the front door of the building, they saw Sophia who was standing in the middle of
the lobby with her arms crossed, all high and mighty.
