The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 40: Always Vacant
Julian Hawthorne heard the door close, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He turned around to find Paige Sterling looking at him with a strange gaze.
Pretending to be indifferent, he was about to ask Paige to stay at his place, but she spoke first.
"Can I stay here for a while?"
"I can have the robot do housework to cover the rent."
Julian Hawthorne said, "Alright."
Paige Sterling wasted no ti and went to the bedroom.
Julian Hawthorne suddenly spoke up, "Wait."
"What’s wrong?"
"Your dress."
Paige Sterling turned her head to look at the side of her dress and realized it snagged sowhere and tore open, revealing her thigh.
"I don’t have a spare one."
She looked at Julian Hawthorne.
Julian Hawthorne said, "You can wear mine for now."
Paige Sterling took off her dress, took a shower, and put on Julian Hawthorne’s robe.
The robe was too long and big. Paige Sterling almost stepped on it or exposed herself with any slight movent.
So she ran to Julian Hawthorne’s room, intending to ask him for a shirt.
The door wasn’t closed, so she pushed it open and walked in.
And there she saw... Julian Hawthorne completely bare.
Paige Sterling stood still, and Julian Hawthorne imdiately grabbed a towel to cover himself.
Paige Sterling stopped him, "Wait!!"
Julian Hawthorne asked, "...?"
Paige Sterling stepped forward to Julian Hawthorne and threw his towel aside, examining Julian Hawthorne with fiery eyes.
Under Paige Sterling’s gaze, Julian Hawthorne’s Adam’s apple shifted slightly.
He thought Paige Sterling finally ca to her senses and might want to make a move, but unexpectedly, Paige Sterling suddenly took out paper and pen and started writing a notice beside him.
Julian Hawthorne said, "..."
Silently, he wrapped himself in the towel again and sat beside her, watching her.
After Paige Sterling finished calculating, he handed her a glass of milk.
"What are you calculating?"
"Calculating your physique," she looked at Julian Hawthorne with admiration, "Do you know? Your physique is the most perfect and chanically ideal in terms of physics. I want every robot to be made to your body standards!"
Yes, just like this! Perfect!
With such perfect robots, girls probably wouldn’t want boyfriends anymore.
Julian Hawthorne said nothing, seeing her only think about calculating and making robots without any desire for him.
At this mont, Paige Sterling suddenly sneezed, saying to Julian Hawthorne, "Why do you like spraying perfu on your clothes, it’s so pungent."
Julian Hawthorne said, "..."
He no longer believed Simon Hawthorne’s lies!
Paige Sterling fell asleep, and Julian Hawthorne sat in the living room, picking up Paige Sterling’s dress.
He heard Paige Sterling say she would take the dress to a tailor tomorrow.
Penny-pinching, Paige Sterling wouldn’t even spare herself.
Simon Hawthorne couldn’t stop thinking about the stolen perfu, so he went to see Julian Hawthorne.
Entering the wrong password, he was told it was incorrect.
Simon Hawthorne said, "...??"
His brother actually changed the password? Changed it?
He knocked on the door dumbfounded, and finally, Julian Hawthorne opened the door.
After opening the door, Julian Hawthorne directly threw the bottle of perfu to him, standing at the door, not intending to let him in.
Simon Hawthorne peeked inside, feeling that Julian’s ho seed unusual in the past few days.
His eyes rolled, and he squeezed inside.
Then he saw a woman’s dress on the sofa and... a needle and thread.
Simon Hawthorne stared blankly at Julian Hawthorne.
"Brother, don’t tell you’re sewing clothes?"
Julian Hawthorne took a brief glance at him, "Keep your voice down."
Simon Hawthorne said, "...?"
Julian Hawthorne then sat down and continued sewing the dress.
Usually, his cold brother now had a gentle and holy appearance, leading Simon Hawthorne to seriously doubt if his brother had been possessed.
Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Paige Sterling erged, scratching her head.
Simon Hawthorne said, "...!!??"
He asked before, not even holding hands, and now they’ve moved in together so quickly?
His brother truly...
Simon Hawthorne gave up, the eternal single finally found soone, and if he stayed here, he might end up being punched by Julian Hawthorne.
So he promptly found an excuse and left.
Before leaving, he gave Julian Hawthorne a thumbs-up.
The next day, Paige Sterling discovered her dress was washed and nded, neatly folded by the bedside.
She put on the dress and left the bedroom, seeing Julian Hawthorne making breakfast in the kitchen.
At this mont, Paige Sterling felt like the two had lived together for years.
After breakfast, Paige Sterling kept making phone calls.
Julian Hawthorne asked, "Are you looking to rent an office building?"
Paige Sterling nodded, "Yes, registering a company requires a place to work."
Julian Hawthorne said, "The 17th to 18th floors of the Hawthorne Group, rent it to you at market price."
Paige Sterling said, "...?"
Seeing Paige Sterling constantly staring at him, Julian Hawthorne said, "Just happened to always be vacant."
Paige Sterling responded with an "Oh," still staring at Julian Hawthorne.
Julian Hawthorne could only maintain a stoic expression.
Finally, Paige Sterling withdrew her gaze, "Alright, thank you, President Hawthorne."
Paige Sterling moved quickly, seizing the space and imdiately registering the company.
She quietly did her work, never expecting that even though she’s not active in the industry, it never forgot her.
She had just obtained a business license and similar docunts when news of her registering a company made the hot search list.
Even the location of her company in the Hawthorne Group office building was uncovered.
Her product wasn’t out yet, but it grabbed attention instantly.
Paige Sterling seized this montum and posted recruitnt information on V Blog.
Starting a company requires not only space and money but also talent.
While everyone thought she would withdraw and disappear, she surprised them by suddenly opening a company, admitting it, and setting V Blog ablaze in a Pandemonium.
"Does no one think Paige Sterling’s tactics are impressive? From announcing her retirent from the industry to Seth Shaw’s affair, now starting a company, I feel she’s up to sothing big!"
"Ha, heard she beca penniless after paying Stellar’s breach of contract fees, now she’s opening a company, with registered capital in the millions, wonder where the money ca from. Turns out won in the entertainnt industry aren’t clean."
"Agree with the above, wonder how many old n she served in private to get this much money, while we ordinary people live honestly yet worse off than an actress..."
Then imdiately, photos surfaced online of Paige Sterling walking hand in hand with an older man.
And that man was Jared Sullivan.
"Seth Shaw wasn’t a good guy, and she’s not spotless either, maybe before Seth Shaw and lody rcer got together, she already cheated on Seth."
"This woman truly isn’t ordinary. Retired from entertainnt, she mingled into high society, becoming a CEO."
