CEO's Substitute Bride

CHAPTER :10

Flustered from the previous phone call, Joseph didn't have time to distinguish who was calling him. He slammed the pen stand against the door and yelled in frustration, "Fuck Off"

He was already pissed off by his sister and didn't  have time to take care of anyone right now.

Paige had been standing outside all the time. When she heard the angry roar, she was stunned for a moment. Then without wasting a second, she turned around and left.

Although she didn't know why he was so pissed off today, she knew she had no position to interfere with it . 

After a while, Joseph calmed down himself. He raised his head and stared at the celling. There were still so many questions left unanswered when it came to the kidnapping years ago. After what happened to his mother, he promised himself to avenge her no matter what.

Frank knocked on the door and came with a stack of document. His expression was calm as if he hadn't heard the roar from the study a few minutes ago.

Joseph thought of something and raised his head, "Is Paige back ?"

Franck placed the files on the table, cleared his throat, and said, "Madame had been back for a while and she was looking for you. See came here...."

Joseph remembered that indeed there was a woman who knocked on the door

And the only woman who stayed in this villa was Paige.

He has chased her away at that time. Maybe he was too consumed in his thoughts that, he forgot that he was already married.

Did she look for him on her own initiative?

Was it because she couldn't resolve the rumors on the social media and wanted his help?

Joseph's black eyes sparkled with interest, and he leaned back inti his seat. All the irritation and frustration from before had vanished and only things left was the contemplation for what the woman would say.

"Where is she" Get her over here?"

Frank heard his order and went out of the study.

After some time there was a knock on the door.

Paige pushed the door and entered.  Joseph was sited behind the table with the tall executive chair turned, back towards her.

Under the dim light, all she could see that his pale hands which were on the armrest and the back of his head. Just like before.

He still didn't want to show his face to her.

"What do you want?" Joseph cold voice echoed through the entire room.

"Wasn't she supposed to ask this question?" But he was asking her instead?

When she came to look for him half an hour ago, he clearly said her to scram. And now he just asked her to come over just to ask what was going on?

It seemed she was dealing with a man with mood swings. Was this a part of his disability as well?

She tried not to be annoyed. After all, he had treated her quite decently all this time. Perhaps he was just having a bad day.

Noot wanting to beat around the bush, Paige directly came to the point, "I want to move out from the villa."

Noticing that there was not much reaction of the man, she quickly explained, "I'll be starting work soon and it is inconvenient for me to continue living here."

Her wonderful explanation received only an "Oh."

Oh?

Should she take it as approval?
