The atmosphere felt quiet in Asher's room. Alicia's words successfully made Asher silent. He didn’t understand Alicia's meaning at all. Was it wrong for them to meet because of work?Alicia noticed the awkwardness caused by her words. "Ah, I mean... surprisingly, we always meet just to talk about work," she said with a laugh, trying to ease the tension by showing her teeth.Asher cleared his throat, looking at the corner of the room before returning his gaze to Alicia. "So, if your product doesn’t launch on the target date, what will happen?" he asked seriously, changing the topic to reduce the awkwardness.Alicia took a deep breath, her face turning serious. "It will be a big blow to the company, especially since my team has invested a lot of time and resources in preparing for this launch. But I believe we can find a solution together. Besides, I’m not just producing lipstick and powder for my cosmetics; Mr. Victor and I are also producing perfume."Asher looked at her intently. "Re
Alicia paused for a moment, then quickly nodded and looked at Asher. "He's an old friend, we went to the same school and even the same university. I just know his name and face. If you're asking if we're close, I don't think so." Asher nodded in response. He felt a strong aura of hostility from Kaylery Barnnet. He didn't know why Kaylery looked at him that way. The last time he saw him at the hotel opening party, Kaylery's aura also seemed unfriendly. "By the way, if ArgonChem still can't continue your production, would you want me to shift your products to BOWWS Company?" Asher tried to persuade her again. He had just received a message from Kailos on his phone, saying that it would take a long time for ArgonChem to resume production. Alicia sighed, looking intently at Asher's face. A smile reappeared on her face. "Alright, I'll leave everything to you. I trust you, Asher." "Thank you, Alicia. I'm just worried that your products and the project you're working on will be delaye
Quickly, Joseph ran out of the room which looked like a room, towards the place where Doctor Ben was resting. Joseph was annoyed that he was missed, even though there was only him and a few bodyguards that he had handpicked in this house. How could an intruder have managed to poison Christian?The situation was getting critical. Time seemed to race every second that passed. Asher stared intently at Christian's sprawled body, white foam still coming out of his mouth. Emotions burned in his mind, realizing that this was a war. Someone deliberately wanted to shut Christian's mouth. However, Christian himself wanted to share his information even if it meant getting beaten up first."Damn, he wants to see me scared," muttered Asher, suspecting that this was just the enemy's plan to bully him.Joseph returned with Doctor Ben who was carrying his medical bag. The middle-aged man with thick glasses immediately approached, kneeling beside Christian. Quickly, Ben began to treat Christian's seiz
The next day, Asher returned to work with his mind still occupied by the events of the previous day. An unknown person had contacted him, issuing a warning. To Asher, it was a sign that someone who disliked him was lurking and watching his every move.Asher's gaze shifted to each face in the meeting room. Today’s meeting was about continuing the project, addressing the fire incident from yesterday, and dealing with the BOWWS Company’s chemical leak case from a few years ago. All the executives and relevant employees were present at the meeting.For some reason, Asher suspected everyone in the room. Someone was playing games with him, even issuing warnings. If only he had the power to read their minds, perhaps he would know who among them were allies and who were foes.Even Waldric, who usually never attended central meetings, was present in the room. Several executives who were friends of Mr. Thimphon also attended, sharing their opinions as the discussion continued."Asher, what are
"So, what’s the progress of the investigation? I want to know the truth. Why did the ArgonChem production plant catch fire?"Asher's deep and firm voice echoed in the spacious room. Behind him, numerous thick books were neatly arranged, and in the center of the room, a sofa and a table formed a circle. He had deliberately transformed one of the rooms, previously used for confining Christian, into his office.Joseph stood straight in front of Asher, holding several documents. "Mr. Wilson's Dixon security team informed me that the fire was caused by someone deliberately pouring gasoline on flammable materials. A large man was caught on the production delivery car’s dashboard camera," Joseph said, showing a paper with a photo from the hidden camera in the factory vehicle.Asher looked at the paper, narrowing his eyes to try and recognize the man’s height and build. "What else did you find?"Joseph hesitated for a moment, but he knew Asher needed to know every detail about Dixon's subsidi
Asher's breath came in gasps. His heart pounded, and every step felt haunted by an unseen threat. A dark shadow kept chasing him, and he tried to run away from it. But his steps stopped when he ran into a dead end.Slowly, his closed eyes opened, his breath still heavy. His head felt dizzy, and his vision was blurry as he blinked his eyes again. Cold sweat drenched his forehead.The unfamiliar ceiling was the first thing he saw. Instantly, Asher sat up from his lying position, noticing an IV attached to his hand. His body jolted in surprise when he heard a deep male voice greeting him."Thank goodness you are awake, Sir. Fortunately, you weren't seriously injured because Joseph arrived just in time when you were in danger last night," said Doctor Ben calmly, bowing respectfully to Asher, who was staring at him.His hand held his head, a bandage visible on his forehead. Asher tried to recall the events of last night. The shadow of the black car following him, the sound of breaking glas
While he was busy dealing with the fire incident and ensuring no more chemical leaks would occur, a knock on the door diverted Asher's focus.He stood up from his chair and walked over to Aberon Dixon, who had just entered his office. They sat on the sofa, exchanging smiles.Aberon frowned when he saw the bandage on his son's forehead. "What happened to your forehead?" he asked, looking worried.Asher touched his forehead, realizing the bandage was still there. "Oh, it's nothing, Dad. Why are you here?"Aberon sighed softly. "I heard from one of the family lawyers that you bought Alexander's company. Is that true?"Asher nodded. "Yes, Darren Alexander sold it."Aberon seemed to ponder for a moment, looking closely at Asher's face. He felt a sense of pride seeing his son grow up and brave enough to take the risk of leading a company. "So, after you bought it, what do you plan to do with the company?"Asher thought for a moment. He had long considered what kind of business he wanted to
Asher sighed with relief after finishing various important company documents. There was a mix of satisfaction and exhaustion gnawing at his mind as he worked on office tasks. He stretched his body a little, feeling the tension beginning to ease. However, that peace did not last long.The door to his office was flung open abruptly. Holmes stood at the threshold with eyes full of rage. Asher glanced at Kailos, signaling that he was fine and ready to face Holmes. Kailos bowed respectfully before closing the door again, leaving them alone in the room suddenly filled with tension.Holmes approached Asher, his eyes blazing. "What were you thinking, Asher? Taking over my family’s company without permission? That sale is invalid, and I want my company back!" Holmes shouted, his voice echoing throughout the room.Asher looked at Holmes coldly, a sly smile forming on his face. "If you want Alexander’s company back, can you return the investment money worth millions of dollars?" he asked, his vo
