The Billionaire Student After Breakup

CHAPTER 5

After Kailos finished informing the Alexander Company, Asher started discussing with Kailos, carrying out his next tasks as the leader. He seemed enthusiastic while providing interesting ideas for the hotel development project.

Besides work, Kailos also explained that every year the Dixon company held charity events and social activities. Asher was intrigued. "What contributions does the education foundation make to underprivileged children?" Asher asked, catching the social activities' purpose and the education foundation's contributions.

"Yes, Sir. We often donate to orphanages. During charity events, we can donate new or gently used items to those in need. It can also be for orphaned children."

Asher nodded in understanding. For a moment, he was silent, a question crossing his mind. "Then who leads the Dixon company's welfare foundation?"

If there are contributions from the education foundation, charity events, and social activities, there must be a leader managing the welfare foundation. Whether for underprivileged children, children abandoned by their parents, or elderly people in nursing homes. Besides ensuring the welfare of others, it also oversees the welfare of the company's employees.

Kailos gave a thin smile, seeing Asher's interest in the work and other activities within the Dixon company. "The foundation is still fully led by your father, Sir, Mr. Aberon Dixon."

However, before their conversation went further, Kailos quickly corrected himself, "Besides Mr. Aberon, Mr. William, Mr. Aberon's younger brother, serves as the foundation's vice-chairman."

Asher nodded in understanding, satisfied with Kailos's explanation. His father's choice of secretary was indeed competent and worked quickly.

After there were no more discussions about work, Kailos returned to his desk outside Asher's office. Meanwhile, Asher focused intently on reading all the documents from Kailos.

Less than an hour after terminating the partnership with the Alexander Company, a commotion erupted outside Asher's office door, disturbing his concentration. Kailos entered Asher's office with a worried expression, informing him about the sudden arrival of the Alexander Company’s leader, who insisted on meeting without an appointment.

Asher smiled meaningfully. The termination of the partnership had not even been a day, but he already had an uninvited guest.

A middle-aged man with ash blonde undercut hair glared, but his demeanor still showed respect for Asher.

Asher deliberately asked, pretending not to know Holmes Alexander's purpose for coming, "What brings you here, Mr. Alexander?"

Holmes's gaze conveyed dislike, but he tried to hide it. Preserving the company's reputation and avoiding losses from the hotel development project was more important than his dislike for the new leader of the Dixon company.

"I want to reapply for the hotel development project partnership with the Dixon company. The project is almost halfway done; you can't just cancel or terminate the contract."

Asher smirked, hearing Holmes explain the partnership. "It can't be reapplied, Sir. The partnership between Dixon and Alexander is terminated."

Holmes clenched his fists, trying to contain the anger burning inside. He truly disliked this new leader.

However, his expression changed to a forced smile as he remembered information about the new leader of the Dixon company—that Asher attended the same university as his son.

"By the way, Mr. Dixon, I heard you study at a prestigious university in this city." His eyes lit up with enthusiasm.

"Are you friends with Darren Alexander?"

Asher's eyes glared coldly and sharply, mocking Holmes's audacity to mention the university and his son's name. "What does that have to do with this partnership? Leave, I've decided that the partnership between Alexander and Dixon is terminated."

Holmes couldn't accept the decision. A partnership planned for a long time suddenly fell apart.

The middle-aged man's eyes glared with hostility, but his mouth formed a friendly smile. "Please reconsider, Sir. Do it for the sake of your friendship with Darren," Holmes said, trying to guess the relationship between Asher and Darren at the university.

Asher was annoyed by the statement. He threw the document in his hand onto the table harshly. Asher pressed the phone button on his desk, calling security into his office.

Annoyed, he ordered, "Escort the leader of the Alexander Company out; he's only disturbing my work!"

A few seconds later, two burly men entered Asher's office. With a nod from Asher, they grabbed Holmes by his shoulders.

Holmes could only mutter under his breath as the two strong men forced him out. Inside, he was furious at the new leader of the Dixon company, who ruthlessly trampled the Alexander company's dignity.
