The Halbert Company was now officially owned by Asher. He felt a sense of satisfaction in acquiring something from those who had once betrayed and insulted him. After completing the purchase, the atmosphere in the Dixon Company's office, particularly in the meeting room, was quite serious. Aberon, Wilson, and Kailos sat around the large conference table. Papers were scattered across the table, and several laptops were open, displaying presentations and data related to the upcoming charity event.

"The orphanage where Asher was once placed holds many memories and valuable lessons. I want to ensure this event goes well and has a positive impact."Asher nodded in agreement. "I agree, Dad.

Asher asked, opening the discussion."We've sent invitations to all clients and employees. The response has been very positive.

Alicia quietly smiled as she heard what Asher said. Her heart raced at Asher's awkwardness. Alicia felt happy but also confused about what to do."Asher, are you okay?" Alicia asked softly, trying to divert attention from Asher's nervousness."Ah, yes, I'm fine. It's just... I was a bit surprised by your painting.

I like flowers."Asher smiled slightly, following Alicia as she led him to a shaded area with a wooden table and chairs.
Asher remembered clearly how Alicia smiled, as if what he saw was imprinted in his mind. That smile was so sincere and charming, making Asher's heart race every time he remembered it.
