Chapter 98 – Personal Delivery of Invitations
As soon as he saw this kind of formation, Director Wang immediately stood up and approached that director, questioning him with cold eyes, “Director Liu, don’t tell me that it has come to this time, and you are so kind that you want to escape from the battlefield?”
“No, I just feel that it seems a bit wrong for us to do this to Master Leng …,” Director Liu didn’t expect Director Wang’s reaction to be so strong, and after glancing at the other directors, he replied sarcastically.
Director Wang took another step closer and said with a cold smile, “I’m telling you, no one can back out now. If we all work together, the possibility of success will be very high, and everyone will benefit then, if you want to run away from the battle, then we are not afraid, if the plan fails, you also have a part to play, don’t try to escape, do you understand?”
“I, understand, understand …” Looking at the other directors again, Director Liu helplessly cowered his shoulders and slowly hung his head.
Director Wang turned his head again and looked at several other directors who also did not speak earlier, his voice as cold as ice, “Is there still the one among you who thinks the same as Director Liu and thinks that it is wrong for us to do so?”
“Director Wang, we all listen to you and will all follow your plan!” After looking at each other face to face, several other directors hurriedly nodded along with their voices.
They weren’t stupid and knew that it was like being in a thief’s boat now, if things worked out alright, even if they didn’t, when the time came, Director Wang definitely wouldn’t let anyone off the hook!
“Good, very good, very good, what we need to do now is to be united, there must be absolutely no second thoughts.” Director Wang coldly looked around at several other directors, “If there are any double-minded ones, then don’t blame me, Wang, for not being merciful when the time comes!”
A director swallowed a mouthful of saliva and opened his mouth to ask, “Director Wang, you haven’t answered just now, what exactly went wrong with the plan? Why did it fail?”
“Yeah, yeah, we basically haven’t worked with any company since this girl arrived, so how could there be an accident?”
“I can’t figure it out either, could it be Nangong asked? This kid has been standing by that girl’s side, so faithful that he can’t even pull it in if he wants to …”
…
“You’re all wrong, the person who helped that girl this time, we can’t move anyone.” Director Wang’s face was gloomy, his eyes all gloomy, “Because, the one who stood up for that girl this time, is Asher!”
As soon as Director Wang’s words fell, they immediately caused an uproar among several directors, and after some discussion, all that remained was endless silence.
Everyone knew what the word Asher stood for, and to ignore Asher would be to joke with one’s future and life. that Mia could actually move Asher was beyond every one’s expectation.
The original scandal, they thought it was nothing more than a lark, Asher has had countless scandals but never heard of him sticking up for any woman!
“Director Wang, you’ve always been resourceful, so what do you say now, what should we do now? If it’s true that Asher is interfering, this matter will be quite difficult to handle!”
“Yeah, if a few other companies hear that Asher has stepped in, they won’t cooperate with our plan. one word from Asher and they’re gone from this world, how dare they go against Asher!”
…
“I just can’t believe that Asher can watch that girl every day.” A layer of ruthlessness surfaced on Director Wang’s face as he made a gesture of wiping his neck and said grimly, “If none of it really works, then this is the only way to go …”
Seeing Director Wang’s actions, several other directors looked at each other and immediately fell into silence.
But Mia, since the president of the Hongda Group had come looking for trouble, she had thought that the next few days would not be calm at all, but for the next three days, the wind and waves were calm, and no more companies came looking for trouble.
She knew that it was all Asher’s doing.
Thinking about Asher, Mia looked out at the calendar on her computer, in four days, it was Asher and Lena’s wedding!
Has she really let go of it?
But why, once the thought of his side will be accompanied by another woman, her heart tumbled up full of pain, this pain from the heart, a strand began to spread, gradually spread to the limbs, organs, any pores and cells.
It was a feeling that made Mia ache and almost choke.
Just then the phone rang abruptly, she covered her heart, hesitated and picked up the phone, Asher’s familiar voice came from the other end, “Come down now, I’m near that convenience store not far from your office, I have something for you.”
“I …” Subconsciously, Mia tried to refuse. He was about to marry another woman, so why was he still coming to her? And, why should she listen to him and go down when he told her to?
“This thing is important, and you’ll regret it if you don’t come. I’ll be right here waiting for you until you come!” Without waiting for Mia to finish a sentence, Asher gave the order in a domineering manner, and immediately hung up.
This man, how dare he still be so domineering, it’s come to this, and he’s still ordering her around so righteously!
Staring blankly at the phone in her hand, Mia froze in place for a moment. It was so late, why was he calling her, why was he coming to see her?
What exactly is this important thing he speaks of?
The minutes ticked by, and when Mia came back to her senses, she realized with a start that she’d actually been in a daze for half an hour after the call Asher had hung up on!
Damn it, what a time it was, this man still had so much influence over him!
As if something was dictating her will, it made her put on her jacket, walk out of the office, walk to the elevator, and walk down the street. By the time she reacted, she was in front of the convenience store not far from the office.
Mia cringed at her actions, but subconsciously looked around, and to her further chagrin, Asher wasn’t here! Yeah, how could the titular AsherMaster Jun wait for someone for half an hour? Looks like she’s been nothing but a joke since the beginning!
A breeze blew and it was already slightly cooler, Mia looked at the sky and it dawned on her that autumn was coming. She wrapped up her clothes and looked around again before she planned to go back.
“I thought you were looking for me, was I wrong, are you going back now?” Just as she turned her head, a tall figure stood in front of her with a smile, his dark eyes surprisingly glowing in the darkness.
It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Seeing his smiling face, Mia was even more chagrined that he was in such a good mood because he was about to get married, right, and actually managed to wait for her for half an hour! But why did her heart ache even harder at the thought that he was in a good mood because he was getting married?
With that in mind, Mia ignored Asher and turned her head with the intention of going the other way.
“You’re here in person, so why are you leaving? Don’t you, by any chance, want to see what I’m going to give you?” Standing in front of her again, Asher asked with a good-natured smile.
“Alright Asher, just for the sake of you relieving me, I’ll see what you have to show me. But also, please hurry up, I have a lot of work to do.” Not looking up in good humor, Mia tried to swallow her aggravation.
Asher leaned down to look at her, a grin growing on his face, “A lot of what you do is go back and keep gawking, right?”
“Asher!” shouting his name in exasperation, Mia’s voice took on a bit of a huff, “If you’re bored, then go impress your fiancée, I don’t have time for your nonsense!”
After saying that, Mia huffed and puffed, intending to walk around Asher, the man, at this late hour, was coming to see her laugh?
“Fine, fine, don’t be mad, I’ll give it to you.” In the darkness, Asher raised something in his hand to her, then shoved it into her hand.
Looking at it in the dim light, the big red cover, the foil font, the delicate design, Mia realized with a start that it turned out to be Asher and Leena’s wedding invitation!Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“The thing you want to show me in the middle of the night is your wedding invitation?” Snapping her head up, Mia’s eyes were sore and uncomfortable, but she tried desperately to hold them back, desperately trying to make her voice sound unusually cold.
“For others, naturally I can just have my men deliver them, but this one of yours, I must deliver it personally.” Looking at Mia’s dim and uncertain expression in the darkness, Asher’s words had a deeper meaning.
An ache spread again, her eyes sore and almost unbearable, her heart overflowing with aggression, Mia struggled to lift her face and hold back the tears that were about to flow, nodding her head, the corners of her mouth presenting a miserable smile, “You do think highly of me, then I, I bless you!”
With her heart full of aggression and pain, Mia didn’t even have the time to think about the deeper meaning of Asher’s words. Or was Asher showing off his happiness by coming to deliver the invitation to her in person on a big night?
“Why do I get the feeling that something doesn’t sound right about you?” The corners of Asher’s sexy mouth, in the darkness, had lifted into a faint smile, while his voice was filled with irritating curiosity and suspicion.
“I’m not, I’m normal.” Desperately shaking her head, something salty already dripping out, Mia struggled to hang her head, even though she knew that now Asher couldn’t even see what the hell was on her face.
When she lowered her head, Asher continued to tease her, “But, I still don’t feel right, are you jealous? Or, are you upset to see me get married?”
“I told you, I didn’t!” Snapping her head up, Mia’s voice drew up a few notches, tinged with annoyance and aggravation.
