Chapter 322
The man at the door was short and plump, and he appeared to be in his fifties.
However, what stunned Paige were his sharp and fierce facial features, and she couldn't help but shiver at his intimidating presence.
While Paige was observing him, he had also been paying attention to her as well.
Paige had a slim and hourglass figure that showed off her curves whenever she walked.
Her dreamy round eyes and other exquisite facial features only further highlighted her beauty. She was indeed every man's walking wet dream.
This gorgeous woman with such beauty and grace could catch anyone's attention!
Liam must be insane, why was he so eager to marry off this stunning daughter of his?
Of course, now that Liam himself had offered Paige to Declan, he had no reason to refuse this amazing gift. When Liam had sent him a picture of Paige, he had decided to keep his expectations to a minimum.
This was because, with the power of plastic surgery and Photoshop, women could always appear flawless in photos.
However, he was relieved as the photo that Liam had sent him couldn't compare to the actual beauty that was standing in front of him. It was so worthwhile to 'buy' her over.
Paige glanced at Declan's limping footsteps as he made his way to his seat with a pleased face.
Declan smiled, ignoring how Paige was observing him openly, "I'm sorry for arriving late!"
"Don't worry about it, we haven't been waiting for long!" Liam smiled before introducing Paige to Declan, "Meet my daughter Paige. Paige, meet President Campbell."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Anderson!" Declan greeted as he reached out for a handshake.
However, Paige did not return his handshake as she was frozen by Declan's uncomfortable stare. Instead, she smiled politely before greeting him, "Nice to meet you too, President Campbell!" A flash of displeasure flashed across Declan's eyes when he saw that Paige had refused his handshake.
So, Liam immediately smiled and stepped in, "Please don't mind her rudeness, President Campbell. Paige can be a little shy at times."
"No worries," Declan fixed his gaze on Paige as he sat down, "How old is Miss Anderson again?"
"She just turned 24 this year," Liam answered.
"Wow, you look really young and gorgeous for your age!" Declan praised, satisfied with the view in front of him.
It was obvious that Declan was staring openly at her.
Paige shuddered in disgust, why had Liam decided to work together with Declan?
Based on the creepy stares she was getting, it was obvious that this was more than a normal negotiation. Otherwise, why would Liam's business partner be staring at her so inappropriately?
"Why don't we start talking about the contract then?" Paige asked unwillingly.
"Sure!" Declan gestured for his assistant to pass the documents that he had brought along with him, "Mr. and Miss Anderson, please take at the look at the proposal that my assistant has prepared."
"Alright!" Liam grabbed the proposal and handed it over to Paige, "Paige, why don't you take a look first?"
Paige nodded as she read the proposal carefully. It was a proposal which stated, with the help of Declan, Anderson Group was planning to build a new shopping mall.
Declan would be the main sponsor of the project as he would be covering 80% of the cost, and Anderson Group would pay for the remaining 20% out of their internal funds.
The proposal was reasonable and Paige could find no fault with it. As Paige continued to go through the remaining details of the contract, she noticed that Declan's eyes were fixed on her the whole time.
She was disturbed by the disgusting looks that Declan was giving her.
Paige looked up and decided to point him out, "President Campbell, is there something wrong? Why are you staring at me?"
"That's because you're gorgeous," Declan answered openly, not bothering to hide his intentions anymore.
Liam froze before trying to break the stiff atmosphere, "President Campbell is just joking. Paige, don't think too much about it."
As Liam narrowed his eyes at Declan, Declan got the message and immediately replied, "Yeah, please don't mind me, Miss Anderson! However, I think you're really gorgeous though!"
Paige had really wanted to punch Declan because of how creepy and disgusting he was acting. She wasn't a fool and she knew about Liam and his cunning tricks.
She knew that Liam and Anderson were planning something for her, but what?
Could it be that Liam was trying to marry her off to Declan?
Paige was stunned and disgusted at the thought that had suddenly arisen.
It couldn't be!
No matter how heartless Liam was, he was still her father! Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Paige refused to give in to the thought, but she changed her mind when she thought about the recent measures that Liam had taken. It was obvious that Liam would resort to any means just to earn more money for himself.
Why bother reading the proposal then?
If Liam's real plan was to marry her off, the proposal must be fake.
Paige placed the proposal on the table as she took the opportunity to send a message to Lamont, "Lamont, Liam brought me to meet this disgusting guy called Declan. He has been staring at me creepily this entire time!"
Lamont reply was quick, "Declan is a pervert who uses his money to play around with women. According to rumors, he had tortured all four of his ex-wives to death!"
Paige was disappointed after seeing Lamont's reply. How could Liam do this to her?
How could her own father be so cunning and ruthless that he was willing to 'sell' his daughter off just for his own benefit?
Declan glanced at Paige who had been sending messages on her phone with a perverted smile, "What do you think about the proposal, Miss Anderson?"
"I'm not as experienced as my father and Kyrie. Why don't you ask them for their opinions instead?" Paige replied.
"Alright, I'll take a look!" Liam picked up the proposal and pretended to flip through it.
Paige had already seen through this whole act, so she picked up her bag to leave, "I'm going out for some fresh air."
Now that Paige had left, so there was no point for Declan to act anymore. "You have a beautiful
daughter, feel free to name any price you want."
"Thank you for being so straightforward, President Campbell. It would be great if you could work together to build a shopping mall with my new company that I'II be setting up soon."
"Alright," Declan agreed immediately, "Is Miss Anderson alright? Has she been informed about the terms of the contract?"
"I haven't actually informed her about it. But everything will fall into place now that you and I have come to an agreement."
"What do you mean?" Declan asked pretentiously.
"Don't worry about it, I'll make sure to send Paige over to your place as soon as possible. Mark my words, she'll cry and scream for a few days, but she'll give up as she realises that she can't do anything about it!"
Declan laughed boisterously, satisfied with Liam's answer, "I believe you, Mr. Anderson! I fell in love with Miss Anderson at first sight. I couldn't wait any longer! Could we perhaps…. seal the deal in bed?"
"Of course!" Liam agreed immediately.
"How does today sound then?" Declan asked impatiently.
"That's fine with me!"
Upon getting Liam's approval, Declan immediately signalled his assistant to dump the contents of a packet of white powder into Paige's cup.
