The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 65: Causing Trouble

"Ask her where she is."

"Oh."

My brother’s thought process is really strange. If it weren’t for this check, I wouldn’t accompany Julian Hawthorne in doing such childish things.

The call was about to connect, and Julian quickly said another line, "Rember, it’s you asking, not ."

Simon Hawthorne, "...Then what reason should I find?"

"Can’t even think of a reason, what good are you?"

Simon Hawthorne, "..."

Paige Sterling answered the phone on the other end, but just as Simon Hawthorne started saying his na, Paige said, "I’m a bit busy, I’ll hang up first."

Simon Hawthorne, "...Seems my sister-in-law is busy."

"You can leave now."

Simon Hawthorne quickly took the check and left.

After Simon Hawthorne left, Julian picked up a pen, unknowingly writing Paige Sterling’s na on the paper again.

This liar! Who knows how many tis she’s fooled him! Yet every ti, he still took her words seriously, keeping them on edge, unable to forget at any mont.

Julian sowhat regretted not taking the opportunity last night when Paige seed muddled to ask clearly whom she wanted to marry.

And what did she an by hooking her foot around him at the last mont to make him stay?

Paige Sterling is simply the poison in his fate!

The employees had left the company, and Julian finally confird that Paige wouldn’t be coming.

He left the company, drove past the place he bought cotton candy for Paige last night, and rembered how Paige looked eating the cotton candy.

He found a place to park, got out, and bought another cotton candy.

At that mont, she heard two girls sitting on a bench by the roadside chatting: "Did you see it? I saw this when I went to the boxing gym to find my boyfriend. Isn’t it cool?"

The other girl said, "Isn’t that Paige Sterling?"

Julian stopped in his tracks.

"Yeah, who would’ve thought she boxes? My boyfriend, a professional boxer, couldn’t beat her. I was stunned when I saw it. She’s so cool. It’s a sha such a treasure of a girl has retired."

Did Paige Sterling really go boxing today?

Julian turned around and walked towards the two girls.

No matter where he stood, Julian Hawthorne was always remarkably striking.

The two girls glanced back and saw no one behind them.

So, was this handso man really coming over to them?

Sure enough, Julian stopped in front of them and asked the girl with the phone, "Can I add you on WeChat?"

The girl’s face turned red, "S-sorry, I have a boyfriend."

No matter how handso another man is, she could only admire from a distance. She’s soone with a boyfriend, poised to squash any admiration from other n right in its cradle.

"No worries, I don’t mind."

Julian had already taken out his phone, and, confusingly, the girl scanned his QR code. Then Julian said, "The video you were watching earlier, could you send it to ?"

"Oh oh oh, sure."

The girl sent the video to Julian, "It’s sent."

"Thank you."

Then Julian, in front of the girl, removed the girl from WeChat, showing the screen to her, "This way your boyfriend won’t misunderstand."

Girl, "..."

What kind of misunderstanding is that!

Julian went back to his car and watched the video repeatedly.

Paige Sterling donned a sports vest, her ponytail high. Although her body looked delicate, each punch she threw was particularly forceful and carried a hint of fierceness.

Julian couldn’t help but think that he might indeed need to practice strengthening his resistance.

Back at ho, he opened the door, and the lights were on.

Turning his gaze, Julian saw Paige Sterling curled up on the couch reading a foreign language book.

He handed the cotton candy to Paige, she raised her hand to accept it, "Thanks."

She licked it once, then heard Julian say seemingly unintentionally, "Where did you go today?"

"The island’s lab had so business, so I went to check on it."

Though these young people were enthusiastic, they hadn’t gone through much hardship yet; Paige, as the seasoned veteran, had to occasionally knock them around.

"On the way back, I passed by the boxing gym and went in for a few rounds."

She seed to have entirely forgotten saying she’d find Julian Hawthorne in the office at noon yesterday.

Julian didn’t ntion it either, but suddenly heard Paige say, "Julian Hawthorne, I thought about it, and maybe we should void the contract we signed before."

Julian abruptly turned to Paige, "Is this what you want to tell ?"

On that long-unused expressionless face, there still wasn’t much expression, but Paige felt a touch of sorrow.

She really couldn’t bear seeing Mr. Hawthorne’s face with such expressionless sorrow.

"I an..."

"You don’t have to say it." Julian stood up, "I know loving you is one-sided, no, it’s loving you, you indeed have the reason to reject and keep away from , but the contract is black and white, you can’t retract!"

Fortunately, he cleverly signed the contract then!

Paige, "...?!", this confession ca too suddenly!

Wait, clearly she wanted to confess first, why did Julian steal her line?

"No, Julian Hawthorne, what do you an..."

Julian feared hearing decisive hurtful words from her mouth, "But don’t you worry, feelings are my personal affair, I won’t inconvenience you."

Paige sighed, "Really?"

Julian didn’t know how much resolve he used before nodding, "Really."

But he knew in his heart that he couldn’t possibly achieve that. Now, he said it only to deceive Paige into lowering her guard against him.

"Yet I still think..."

"What more do you want?"

Look at that aggrieved tone.

Paige was a bit amusedly frustrated, "I an, I think our relationship, might it go a step further?"

Julian froze for a mont. Paige stood up and walked closer to him.

In Mr. Hawthorne’s daze, Paige stood on her toes, softly placing her lips onto his, "President Hawthorne, do you understand?"

Paige and Julian stared at each other for a long ti. She watched his eyes grow brighter, turning into a deep black, like whirlpools brimming with joy, ready to draw her in.

Feeling sudden danger, she wanted to pull away.

But Julian didn’t give her the chance. He grabbed her waist sowhat firmly, speaking forcefully with a clear bite, "Paige, are you serious?"

"I never take anything lightly, once I decide to do it."

Especially emotions.

Bliss ca too suddenly, in this instant, Julian beca sowhat speechless.

After a while, he finally could speak, "I want you to say it clearly and straightforwardly!"

"I already showed it, and you still want to say it? You wish."

Paige shoved Julian onto the couch, "Now I ask you, you answer ."

She placed a hand on Julian’s shoulder, one foot on the couch.
