In the car, they had an awkward atmosphere. That's because Lindsey was still sitting glued to the passenger seat. Ashton felt uncomfortable and wanted to get home quickly. Tomorrow, Ashton should discuss the Gardner Group company with Lindsey.
"Mr Myers, why don't you come inside?" Lindsey unconsciously became tense. Lindsey was ready for this night to end with Ashton.
"Miss Muller, today must have been very tiring for you. I think you should rest early," Ashton said, intending to suggest.
Ashton's intentions were good, but he didn't know he had unwittingly rejected the reward from Lindsey that would make him a real man. If Ashton had understood Lindsey's intentions, he would have regretted it to death.
Lindsey was very disappointed with Ashton's rejection. Lindsey took a lot of courage to make such a difficult decision.
"I understand; thanks for worrying about me," Lindsey replied.
Since the last time, Ashton needed her to set up the
In the morning at the Gardner Group building, the spacious main office, at least more than a dozen employees of the Gardner Group had gathered there. They had all received news of Zach's death. Adam himself was still insane and had been committed to a mental hospital.Meanwhile, the Gardner family has disappeared along with Zach. It leaves the glorious Gardner Group, renowned as an elite company, in great turmoil. Not a few employees are worried about their respective futures.Moreover, Jacob, known by everyone, had announced that the new owner of Gardner Group would come to take over the company. All employees react differently; some are happy, and some are confused.Lindsey is in between everyone. The woman optimises all the employees under her command. That's because Lindsey is partly the CEO of Gardner Group and has full responsibility for her missions.It's just that Lindsey couldn't think properly. That's because Ashton is the only one on her mind right now. Ashton's rejection l
At this moment, time seemed to stand still as Ashton could not understand Lindsey's decision to resign from her position as CEO. Ashton wondered, "Why would Lindsey Muller quit her position?""Mr Myers, I am telling you the truth. I resigned because I wanted to become an employee under your company," Lindsey Muller replied sincerely.Ashton Myers was speechless. Soon the Gardner Group would officially be his. That meant Lindsey was out of a job and would return to her old one."Why does it sound like a joke?" Ashton mused.Ashton didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. But at the same time, Ashton admired Lindsey's decision. Of course, making that decision was not easy. The woman before him was willing to lose the CEO position many wanted and preferred working under his company.After Ashton sighed, he said, "Well, I will accept your request, Miss Muller, to work under the company."Thank you, Mr Myers." Lindsey was finally relieve
Ashton stood there frowning. Lindsey was nearby with a panicked look. As for Thomas and Mia, both of them were laughing while repeatedly telling Ashton and Lindsey to leave the Gardner Group building."Why are you still standing there, hurry up and leave," Mia said."Right, or will the security guards throw you out rudely?" Thomas said as well.Ashton couldn't take it anymore and said, "Do you believe I can make you both lose the position you are proud of?""Haha, just do it if you can," Mia replied."Haha, bullshit," Thomas said."Okay, let's see how you regret it." Ashton immediately took out his cheap mobile phone.Thomas laughed, "Haha, you still use such a cheap mobile phone but pretend to want to make us lose our position."Lindsey stood there and looked helpless, Ashton pretending to make a call. That action would only be laughed at by others.Mia is now the CEO of Gardner Group, so that no one can fire her but th
Hearing Jacob's question, everyone fell silent. There was no answer to understand his every word other than shock.Only Thomas could not accept that Ashton was the new owner of Gardner Group. If someone else became the new owner of the Gardner Group, Thomas may trust him unconditionally."But why did poor Ashton become the new owner of Gardner Group?" wondered Thomas."The Gardner Group is one of the richest corporate existences in London. How could Ashton, who is so poor, be the new owner they've been waiting for," the man kept thinking.Thomas still clearly remembers what kind of person Ashton used to be. Thomas had heard that Ashton grew up in an orphanage. Also, after leaving the orphanage, Ashton only lived in cheap apartments and sometimes liked to borrow money from him. In conclusion, Ashton is unlikely to become the new owner of the Gardner Group."No way, this must be a mistake. There is no way Ashton will become the new owner of Gardner G
Seeing Mia and Thomas leave made almost all the employees there scared. They were afraid that Ashton would sack them all indiscriminately.Ashton looked at all the employees and said, "As you can see. They both have a bad attitude as employees. If any of you do the same, I will not hesitate to expel you.""Understood, Mr Myers," said all the employees nervously.Ashton then looked at Lindsey and touched her shoulder, "From now on, Miss Muller will be your CEO again.""Understood, Mr Myers," said all the employees obediently.Lindsey smiled slightly. Lindsey was also a CEO in the past, so she was not nervous at all. In addition, Lindsey understands the Gardner Group company very well, so she will take the time to take care of the Gardner Group again.This time Lindsey's gaze was very different compared to the past. Then the woman said, "Thank you, Mr Myers; I will not disappoint you.""Miss Muller, I will return the company's interests
Freddie stood there in astonishment; he still didn't believe Ashton's words. "Ashton, please don't joke around. I don't want to borrow, but want to find a method to get money quickly," Freddie said. Ashton was so depressed; he had said everything right; why did his friend still not believe him? "Um, there's no way to get money quickly. But if you're okay, we can go to the Casino place and try our luck," Ashton replied after thinking hard. "Casino!" Freddie's gaze immediately lit up. The man thought the Casino place would be the last resort and he could get a large sum of money. "Ashton, it looks like I'm going to have to go to the casino after this," Freddie said excitedly. Ashton shook his head and regretfully said, "Freddie, are you sure you want to go to the Casino? If you need money fast and in large amounts, I can help you." "Never mind, I know how much money you have. I'm fine with going to the Casino place." Freddie was so confident in his choice. "Then I'm coming with
Everyone comes to a casino venue to make a profit. But what if they are not lucky but rather lose money?Every advantage has an opposite side, which is a disadvantage. For this reason, some people must be prepared for whatever results they eventually get.This time all the Casino patrons were surprised by the winning sound of the Slot machine that Freddie was playing. Some even looked at him with surprise, and not a few of them were very jealous of his luck.Almost everyone who visited the place tasted defeat on the slot machines they played, not even a few who spent their savings."Haha, I won on my first try. I guess my luck was really good tonight," Freddie said with a loud laugh.Freddie then saw Ashton and intended to hug him. But Ashton avoided him quickly. "Shit, I'm only interested in women, you understand?""Haha, sorry, I'm too happy. With this, I can buy my girlfriend expensive jewellery," Freddie said happily.Ashton, who
Freddie switched off his mobile phone after the call. Then the man nervously looked around him."Please believe me, it's all just luck, and I didn't cheat," Freddie said.The officer who heard Freddie's answer did not believe him at all. The man had a very comfortable job with a generous salary. As long as the man was guarding the casino at the slot gaming centre, he always got a big bonus.But tonight, something unpleasant happened. That's because someone almost drained all the slot coins inside the hundreds of slot machines. It can't just be luck; one can only think that the whole thing was rigged."Damn it, do you think I'm stupid? How come every time you play, you get a perfect win? You must be cheating by tampering with slot machines in this place, right?" the officer said in annoyance.No one ever wins all slot machines because they have difficult settings. The casino deliberately made the machine settings like that.Maybe it's a cheat
