Chapter 466

Amanda had friends visiting her. That moming, after a meeting. Ashley received a call from her inviting her to lunch.

Waiting for an elevator, Ashley encountered Eternal’s new General Manager, Brian Pire. He was with Chase and Jackson. Brian greeted her first, ‘Ms. Jones.*

Ashley nodded curly. Brian wasn’t sure if Chase and Ashley knew each other. He’d noticed their lack of interaction during Chase’s previous visits. Seeing that Ashley had no intention of talking to Chase, he assumed they weren’t acquainted. ‘Ms. Jones, this is Mr. Chase Sterling from Sterling Corporation, he introduced “Mt. Sterling, this is Ms. Ashley Jones from our R&D department.”

Ashley, without looking at Chase, said, “I know.”

Chase glanced at her, then told Brian, “No need for introductions. We’re quite familiar.”

Brian paused, looking at him and then Ashley. They were quite familiar? That was truly not obvious. He then chuckled, “Oh, right…

Ashley remained silent. Chase smiled enigmatically, saying nothing more.

Brian didn’t know what to say.

He finally understood–Ashley was pointedly ignoring Chase. This mirrored Tim’s attitude. He suspected there was some bad blood between

the three of them. But…

Chase was no ordinary man. With a crucial partnership pending, both Ashley and Tim treated him with icy indifference, yet he seemed completely okay with it…

Brian felt a mix of relief and apprehension. As he was about to break the silence, Chase’s phone rang. He answered, “You’re here? I’ll be down

in a minute.”

Hearing that, Brian remarked, “Is Miss Mond picking you up for lunch again? You two are really sweet.”

s phone rang again, It seemed urgent, so Brian fell silent.

Chase smiled. Just as he was about to respond,

Upon reaching the ground floor, Ashley stepped out of the elevator without even looking at Chase. In the parking lot, she saw Tanya waiting by her car. Their eyes met. Tanya’s expression was cold and distant.

also shifted her

Her gaze.

Ashley quickly looked away, heading for her own car.

eyes softened only when she saw Chase walking to her.

Ashley started her car, preparing to leave. She saw Tanya hand her car keys to Jackson before getting into the car with Chase. Ashley drove away, putting this out of her mind.

After lunch, Ashley escorted Amanda and her friends to their car and watched as they drove away. While she was going back to Eternal, she saw Jeffery coming out of the restaurant. His brow furrowed instinctively upon seeing her. Their last encounter was days ago when Chase was visiting Eternal. He wasn’t sure if Ashley and Chase were getting close, but he knew about the partnership between Sterling Corp and Eternal. He wondered if Ashley and Chase might…

Although he remained silent, the furrow in his brow spoke volumes. Ashley, without greeting him, got into her car and drove off. Jeffery returned to his company.

His collaboration with the Mond family was underway. Around 3:30 PM, his secretary informed him, “Mr. Cooper, Miss Mond has arrived.”

Jeffery was surprised.“Miss Mond?”

“Yes,” his secretary replied, “Mr. Mark Mond has a cold, so she’s here in his stead.”

A flicker of excitement crossed Jeffery’s eyes. He immediately went to the meeting room.

Tanya apologized, “Sorry, my father is unwell. I’ll be taking over this collaboration…”

Jeffery said, “It’s fine.” He couldn’t mask the pleasure in his eyes. She smiled faintly, saying nothing.

After the meeting, Jeffery seized the opportunity to buy her dinner.“Miss Mond, are you free for dinner?”

Tanya smiled, shaking her head.“I have a race coming up. I need to head to the track for practice.”

Jeffery knew she was a race car driver, but she hadn’t competed since he’d known her. He’d even downloaded race videos of hers online, but he never had the chance to see her race in person. He really wanted to.
