Elizabeth sat in a private room at Sky Castle. The manager of her company had piled up a list of candidates listed for the partnership, and she didn't even bother to read any others. She fished out Rebecca's file and ran her eyes through it. Everything she found was impressive; she had to admit that she knew that Knowles & Co. was the best company to partner with by far. But something didn't quite clear out in her mind. Knowles and Co. was nothing but a company in the dust; people barely knew of their existence for so many years, but they tremendously climbed up to the top in the ratio of three years! How could that ever be possible? Several great companies invested in them and helped them get to where they were at the moment. One could call it luck, but it was beyond that. It was either magic or the work of a caring husband. Her eyes trailed up to Ashton, where he sat. He knew she needed her solitude to fairly decide to whom the partnership would be awarded, so he sat himself d

Elizabeth rose to her feet with a sigh. "Well, I'm only doing this because of you. I would have loved to give the contract to Mr Gomez if it wasn't for the fact that he said he isn't accepting any deals from anyone in Beaumont for now." Ashton too rose to his feet. He dropped the puzzle block on the table and picked up the box of the magic herb. "Why did he say that?" Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders. "Well okay then. If there's nothing else for me to do here then I'd like to head back to my apartment." "Actually, I would like to introduce you to a few people if you don't mind staying a little longer. The herb is safe here and it will be in your room by the time you get there." She assured him with a look of certainty in her eyes. Ashton nodded his head as he dropped the box back on the table. "You go ahead, I'll meet you in a few minutes." She told him.Without any further questions, Ashton turned towards the door and left the room. He climbed down the stairs and returned to th

She pushed the door open and led Ashton into the room. Several men and women sat at the long table, some exchanging words and soft laughs while others just focused on their food. The room fell silent and all eyes fell on both of them as they walked in together. "I apologize for keeping you waiting long everyone but there were vital matters that needed immediate tending to." Elizabeth apologized to the people. She opened a seat for Ashton next to her and he silently sat himself down. "Ashton, I'd like to introduce you to everyone here." She pointed at a chubby lady with short brown hair and a harsh smile. "This is Mrs Greg, the manager of the company that created the popular cereal, 'you can quake it'." The woman shot Ashton with a proud smile. Every household in the whole of Beaumont city with a young one and people who craved cereal had at least ten boxes of her creation in their home. Ashton gave her a respectful bow."This is Mr Andrews, my dad's partner is business." She poi

Elizabeth let out an angry sigh as the last of them exited the room. She still couldn't believe they had shown such reactions to Ashton. After a few seconds, she realizes that her arms were still wrapped around Ashton's meaning he was still in the room with her. "I am so sorry, I didn't expect them to react like that, especially Mr Greene." She immediately apologized with her gaze fixed on him.Ashton flashed her a weak smile. "It's alright, I expected him to beat me up even, he was holding back." "How did you know he was going to react like that when none of us had sensed it coming? Are you psychic too?" She asked jokingly. Her words brought a slight smirk to Ashton's face. "As a man in the medical lane, he will feel really insulted by my words because of our age comparison. No matter how hard I tried to sound respectful, I was still insulting his knowledge and pride.""I see... But still he shouldn't have hit you! W

People stared in disbelief as a young woman wailed in distress for someone to save her while trying to free herself from the man's strong grip but none of them felt strong enough to go against him.Ashton turned around as he heard her voice and it was at that moment he realized what was going on. He was about to set his drugs aside and fight for her when someone else came flying in and knocking the man off his feet. Rebecca fell to the ground from the impact as well and Diana came running towards her. Ashton realized the man to be Myles and he stepped back. "What happened to you Rebecca? Did he do anything bad to you? Did he hit you?" Diana questioned worriedly. Rebecca fidgeted on the ground from the fear of being dragged away while her mother questioned her. "I don't know him! He just came in and started telling me his boss would like to see me and other nonsense too!"Diana helped her daughter back to her feet and
