Chapter 144

When I noticed the girl was missing from his side, I inquired curiously, “Where's your girlfriend?” “She’s not my girlfriend.”

Not a curious cat, I stopped asking him about it.

I then followed him to a steakhouse. Right at the entrance, he paused and worriedly cast me a look." At the start, I did not spot anything unusual. However, when I saw his grim look, I peeked into the re: It was then I saw Ashton by the window seat. He was

in a casual suit, and he was elegantly cutting the steak on his plate. In front of him, surprisingly, was I It was Caleb's niece, Kristina.

They're both eating steak here?The president and his secretary?

“Let's go to another restaurant.” I was not avoiding him, but it would be awkward for me to encounte Nick nodded. After a pause, he looked at me again. “They look close. Aren“t you going to ask him ab Confused, I stared back at him and asked, “Ask what?"

around the corner. I then suggested, “Let's go there.”

Just then, my phone rang.

Ashton was the one calling me.

Raising my head to look toward the restaurant, I realized

his dark eyes were staring in my direction.

Picking up the call, I heard his cold voice at the other end of the line. “Come in and eat with me.” “I can't. I'm here with my friend.”

“Both of us

can't.” If he wanted me to head to his side, that meant that he and Kristina were having a serious cor However, I saw him swaying his glass, seemingly infuriated. I replied, “See you tonight.”

With that, I ended the call and headed to the barbecue restaurant by the corner.

After we found a seat, Nick ordered the food. He rested his chin on his hands before asking, “Aren’t Sipping on the water, I ignored his question and voiced the question in my head instead, “What do y Unable to get any gossips from me, he murmured disinterestedly, “It's about K City. It seems like Ash I nodded. “I know about that.”

However, it seemed like he was not surprised by my answer. “This isn’t the strangest part. What's strange is that my mom is planning to move Cruise Corporation to K City as well.”

“That sounds good,” I replied

when I saw his melancholic look. “K City is an international trading hub. Moving to K City helps to cre The way he was looking at me was as though he was looking at an idiot. “Do you really not

At that, he rolled his eyes, exasperated. “Are you stupid?

The first thing you should do right now is to protect yourself. Find a way to get the best o I was rather baffled by his words. Soon, the waiter brought our food and I started

digging into my food instead.

After all, I was starting to feel hungry.

“Letty, do you get what I mean?” Nick was so anxious I could even see sweat beading on his forehea Still chewing on the meat, I muttered, “It's still too early for me to do anything. Eat your food before How will they set me up? I have nothing else for them but my life.
