Chapter 442


    “Huh? Are you sure you’re not overthinking things?” Ashlyn rolled her eyes.


    Lucas caressed her hair gently, stating, “I’ll head over and keep Mikepany. Take care of yourself


    while I’m away, okay?”


    “Are you the major shareholder of ourpany that everyone is talking about?” Ashlyn frowned in


    return because she finally linked up the missing pieces of the puzzle.


    The man stared at Ashlyn with his glistening pair of eyes in silence. Suddenly, when Ashlyn thought he


    would ignore her query, he broke the silence. “What do you think?”


    What the heck! Tell me the truth!


    “You’re so childish!” Ashlyn gritted her teeth as she reprimanded Lucas.


    “Honey, do you want me to present LX to you as a gift?” Lucas lowered his gaze while approaching


    Ashlyn.


    “Do you think you’ll be able to get your hands on LX if I have my eyes on it?” Ashlyn rebuked, snorting.


    Once she finished her sentence, she strode in the direction of her colleagues, leaving Lucas behind.


    He frowned; he still couldn’t figure out whether he should gift it to Ashlyn.


    Does that mean other men have the same idea as I?


    Ashlyn approached Shannon, who was holding a ss of wine and catching up with her colleagues.


    Simrly, they were shocked to figure out Lucas’s identity as the major shareholder of thepany


    they were affiliated with.


    Once they saw Ashlyn approaching them, Shannon asked, “Boss, are you Ashlyn?”


    “She’s right, Boss! Ashlyn is currently the most sought-after influencer! We have been colleagues for


    quite some time, but we have never seen your face.”


    “Boss, please fulfill our wish!”


    “We’ll take a quick peek. It’s all it takes to satisfy our wish.”


    “Boss, what sort of rtionship do you have with Mr. Nn? Why does it seem like he’s constantly


    looking after you?”


    Ashlyn’s colleagues became engaged in a heated discussion, naming their requests one after another.


    Ashlyn shook her head in return, but a woman got ahead of her before she could reply to her


    colleagues. The woman broke the silence in a scornful manner, saying, “Mrs. Nn is currently at the


    Nn family’s ce. It seems like someone is willing to do whatever it takes in order to achieve her


    goal.”


    “Sharon, what do you mean?” Shannon’s expression turned gloomy all of a sudden.


    “Isn’t it obvious? It’s literally what it is.” Sharon chuckled scornfully, “Otherwise, why would someone


    come over just now and yell at her in the face? If she hasn’t done that sort of thing, why would they


    reprimand her?”


    Sharon had always been a close acquaintance of Megan. Ever since Megan left, no one had taken


    over the role of the design department’s director yet.


    Sharon had always wanted to assume this position. Actually, she perceived herself as a qualified


    candidate deep down.


    However, Ashlyn recently received an award and therefore had proven herself to be a threat. Sharon


    was afraid Ashlyn wouldnd the role the former coveted.


    It’s merely a trivial award! She shouldn’t be so full of herself! After all, she was just scolded in front of


    the ballroom.


    God knows what the heck this little b**** is up to in her mind! I can’t believe she managed to seduce


    the capable and wealthy Lucas!


    Initially, Sharon did a great job at keeping her jealousy to herself, but she could no longer continue with


    the facade the moment she detected Lucas’s special treatment of Ashlyn.


    We’re both designers, but she has gotten lucky and won an award! Apart from that, the most


    handsome and wealthiest man has taken a liking to her!


    When Shannon was about to rebuke Sharon’s statement, Ashlyn got in her way and held Shannon’s


    arm. Ashlyn suggested, “Let’s head over to the other side.”


    “Boss, why are you getting in my way? I can’t possibly allow her to bad-mouth you anymore!” Shannon,


    infuriated, followed Ashlyn and made their way to a rtively isted balcony.


    “Let’s forget about the things she has brought up in front of us because none of those matters,” Ashlyn


    smirked, exining the rationale behind her action as she looked at Shannon in the eyes.


    Once she pacified her irritated colleague, she had her gaze fixated on the scene outside, recalling the


    reason she had joined LX as a designer.


    Let bygones be bygones. I should forget about the past and move on with my life.


    “Boss, since the director of the design department has been let go, I’m sure you will take over the


    position soon,” Shannon asserted Ashlyn with a smile.


    “Actually, I’m not interested,” Ashlyn shook her head.


    Although Lucas was in the middle of a conversation with Mike, he would nce in the direction of


    Ashlyn from time to time.


    He frowned the moment he noticed the harsh remarks Sharon had made against Ashlyn.

    How dare she insult Ashlyn? She must have a death wish, huh?


    Shannon, who had detected Lucas’s gaze, was overjoyed deep down because she thought Lucas had


    finally noticed her presence. Immediately, she touched up her appearance, adjusted her dress, and


    approached Lucas.
