"You must be very busy, Asher. I'm sorry for my parents wanting to have dinner with your family," Alicia said in an understanding tone.Asher turned to look at Alicia. They were now alone in the reading room of the restaurant, a place also used as a reading room for young people nowadays."Why should you apologize? I'm glad your father invited us to dinner together. Besides, I'm not that busy," replied Asher with a cheerful smile.Alicia turned slightly, adjusting her position to look at Asher. She admired how handsome Asher's face was, especially his lips. It felt like just yesterday she got to know Asher, but now Alicia felt close to him. However, there was a feeling of doubt and pride in her mind about admitting her own feelings.Alicia took a deep breath and looked forward again at the neatly arranged books on the shelf. "I'm apologizing because I'm afraid of bothering you. And I'm afraid you might think this dinner was my idea."Asher, who was looking at a thick book about mental
After discussing the issues with Darren and BOWWS Company, Asher appeared focused on his work. On his large desk, various proposals and documents piled up, waiting to be signed. Asher read through each page carefully, ensuring all details were correct before giving his signature.Occasionally, he paused to ponder important decisions, showing how seriously he took running his company.While he was busy working, a knock on the door drew Asher's attention. "Come in," Asher called out, his voice firm yet friendly.Luciana smiled happily as she opened Asher's office door. She walked closer, and Asher immediately stood up from his seat to greet his mother."Mom, you stopped by? Why didn't you let me know?" Asher gave Luciana a brief hug, then invited her to sit on the comfortable sofa in the corner of the room."I miss my son, who's so busy working that he forgets to eat properly," Luciana said with a meaningful look at Asher.Asher gave a small smile, feeling a bit guilty for often skippin
In another place, a man with ash blonde comma hair looked upset. The room he occupied was very messy, full of scattered documents and overturned items. Anger filled his mind upon learning that the partnership he was supposed to secure with Mr. Kim had been won by Asher instead."Damn it! Damn it! He really bothers me!" shouted Darren, throwing a thick folder aimlessly. His hand ran through the hair falling on his forehead, showing how frustrated he was. His shirt was disheveled, his tie loose, and his formal jacket draped over the oversized chair."This can't be allowed. I won't let him take everything I have," he muttered, almost losing his mind. "I won't fall like Olivia. No! I won't let him."Darren kept muttering to himself, cursing in his anger. "I will get you back, Asher!"After the successful meeting with Mr. Kim, Asher felt satisfied with the results achieved. The meeting not only resolved existing issues but also strengthened the partnership between Dixon Enterprises and Mr.
When they reached the basement, Asher led Alicia through the inner section, passing a corridor with wall lights that provided a dim yet elegant illumination. Alicia was amazed by the lowest part of the hotel."Did you design everything here?" Alicia asked, her eyes focused on her surroundings with admiration.Asher's steps halted when they arrived at his private room. The room had transparent glass and numerous hologram systems that displayed the hotel's surroundings like CCTV. As soon as Asher entered the room, the system greeted him.Alicia was astonished. This was the first time she had seen such an advanced room. "I wanted this room to ensure better security for the hotel, and from here, we can also identify anyone who tries to sabotage," Asher explained with a small smile on his face.Asher invited Alicia to sit on a black sofa in the corner of the room. He looked at Alicia with deep curiosity. "Tell me, what's the matter? Why did you bring up BOWWS Company? And... and what?"Ali
Asher had already prepared himself, wearing a black suit complete with a matching tie. He straightened his collar in the mirror, ensuring his appearance was perfect before heading to the office. That morning, despite all the preparations and plans, many things were swirling in Asher's mind.During the journey to the office, Asher found himself daydreaming. His gaze was fixed out the window, watching the busy morning street scenes. Street-side shops were opening their doors, vendors were setting up their goods, and people were walking for their purposes. All of this made Asher reflect on his life's journey, the challenges he had faced, and the future he wanted to achieve.Asher recalled the meeting with Alicia and how the information he had obtained from her had opened his eyes to many hidden matters. However, a doubt lingered deep in his heart, making Asher feel uneasy. He questioned his trust in Alicia. Was she a genuinely good person or merely wearing a mask like Olivia? The issues
The busy office atmosphere slowly turned tense as the company's audit team entered Asher's office. Not only was the audit team deployed, but several lawyers trusted by Aberon Dixon also entered Asher's office, causing the employees to exchange questioning glances.The employees began to whisper, throwing various curious comments:"I'm curious, the audit team and lawyers entering Mr. Asher's office. Is there another problem in the subsidiary?""Ah, seeing them gather makes me feel scared. If the audit team is involved, the problem must be very serious.""Could there be another embezzlement? Or even money laundering?""Shh, don't be loud. Lower your voice. You know some executives are very opposed to Mr. Asher's leadership. Maybe they're scared because they know they've cheated in the company!"Mr. Thimphon, who happened to overhear various gossip along the corridor from the marketing department to customer service, felt increasingly uneasy. Fear gripped him upon hearing that Asher had
For three days, the audit team worked tirelessly to catch the greedy individuals who were never satisfied. Asher was also busy with various projects thrown at him, even handling issues with the subsidiary companies himself rather than relying on the CEOs there. He felt exhausted, but his determination to uphold justice within the company burned brightly.During a meeting, Asher brought up the status and important roles of those in high positions within the company. His voice was firm and authoritative. "I will no longer tolerate anyone committing crimes to satisfy their own greed in this company. We must maintain our integrity and reputation."The atmosphere in the meeting was tense, making some of them exchange uneasy glances. They knew Asher was serious. The crimes Asher referred to included abusing authority, money laundering, embezzlement, and possibly other illegal activities.Everyone there saw a reflection of Aberon. Asher’s commanding voice, his decisions, and his rejection of
News of Thimphon's dismissal without honor and subsequent investigation by the prosecutor's office made William furious. Since Asher's rise to power, all of William's efforts and schemes had felt futile. He felt a burning sense of helplessness in his chest. All the plans he had devised over the years to maintain his power now seemed to crumble before his eyes. Even the support from his brother was never received; William despised Aberon and Aberon's descendants.William was sitting in his spacious office, surrounded by mahogany wood walls and rows of business books. His mind was in chaos, filled with frustration and uncontrollable anger. Just then, the door to his office opened, and Holmes Alexander entered with a face full of despair.William's eyes followed Holmes as he approached, his gaze sharp. Without asking, he knew why Holmes had come to his office. He must be asking for help from the chaos created by Asher."William, please," said Holmes with a trembling voice, his eyes full
