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
Asher stared intently at Alicia. It seemed like for the last week, he didn’t have any free time. There were so many things he needed to do to finish his work."It seems like I'm quite busy. If I get some free time, I'll let you know," Asher said, feeling a bit guilty.Alicia nodded in understanding. She knew that Asher was a leader and always busy with company matters. "Alright. I'll wait for your good news."Alicia got up from her seat, ready to leave. Before going, she told Asher that she wanted to stop by the marketing director's office to discuss something. Asher agreed with a nod.After Alicia left, Asher leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes for a moment to ease the fatigue gnawing at him. Then he glanced at his watch, showing it was late afternoon. It had been a long and stressful day, and he hadn't had any rest.Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang. Asher reached for it and answered with a serious tone. "Asher here.""Mr. Asher, this is Joseph." The voice on the other end
Asher was still at the hotel, specifically in a special room known only to Joseph and Kailos. In that room, Asher rechecked the monitor screen displaying 3D movements outside the hotel. His eyes remained focused, trying to track what was happening out there.The opening of Asher's hotel was a huge success, with many tourists staying at his hotel, adding to his pride. Although it was just a continuation project, there were many changes that Asher had implemented.Suddenly, Kailos received a phone call. The man's face turned serious as he listened to a report from the security team. "Mr. Asher, the person sabotaging your hotel is Christian, the same one who tried to disrupt the hotel opening a few weeks ago."Asher frowned, staring at Kailos intensely. "Really? Where is Christian now?""He is being chased, sir. Our security team is pursuing him," Kailos answered firmly.Asher nodded, his mind racing. "Good. I will try to track Christian's whereabouts with the data I noted earlier."Ashe
Christian did not leave immediately when Joseph dragged him out of the old building. Instead, he returned, holding a knife from his jacket pocket. With eyes full of rage, Christian ran towards Asher. However, before he could reach Asher and stab him in the stomach, Wilson intercepted him, twisting Christian's right arm behind his back and bringing him to the ground."Argh! Damn you! I will get back at you, damn Asher!" Christian screamed in fury, spitting in Asher's direction.Kailos quickly moved the knife away from the vicinity. The situation, which could have turned much worse, was averted, but the tension in the air thickened.Seeing Christian struggling under his feet, Asher knelt, staring sharply at Christian. Asher's hand gripped the man's chin, forcing Christian to look directly at him. However, Christian quickly turned his face away, avoiding Asher's rough grip."You think you can stay in your position, huh?!" Christian continued to vent his frustrations. Since Asher took ove
Asher didn’t go straight home to his mansion. There were a few things he needed to take care of. Memories of Darren begging flashed in his mind, bringing a satisfied smile to his face. Asher loosened his tie, his eyes watching the road ahead, trying to stay focused. He deliberately chose not to use a driver, preferring to drive himself.A short while later, Asher’s luxurious car stopped at an old abandoned building far from the city. There was something important Asher needed to do here, especially to teach a lesson to those who had betrayed him.Asher got out of the car, having placed his formal jacket in the back. He wore only a white shirt with a loose tie. His jet-black hair looked disheveled, with the gentle breeze slightly ruffling it.Asher’s steps took him into the 17-story old building. The night atmosphere around the building felt eerie. The dim neon lights added a gloomy and tense impression.Joseph, who was trusted as Asher’s bodyguard, bowed respectfully as his master ent
