Tanya was okay with it. In her eyes, Zark was just being polite. Ethan agreed.
This was Neal’s third time seeing Ashley.“So that pretty girl is Zark’s girlfriend?” “Cough,” Ethan nearly choked on his own saliva.“Girlfriend? That’s ridiculous! Don’t talk
nonsense.”
Neal, new to the city, didn’t know the details. Ethan and Tanya thought he was just impressed by Ashley’s beauty
beauty and the aesthetically pleasing pair she and Zark made. “Okay.” Neal thought they were a couple because Zark hadn’t taken his eyes off Ashley since he saw her. Even if they weren’t, Zark must be into her.
Zark had noticed that Tanya and Ethan were looking at him. As the meeting time approached, he greeted Ashley and turned to leave. Then he remembered something and asked, “You won’t be at Speed’s party, right?”
Ashley didn’t know why he asked that.“…Right.”
Zark’s heart stirred slightly. He didn’t say anything else, simply nodded, and left. Just as Zark was about to reach Ethan, Chase arrived. He saw Ashley working, but only glanced at her before turning to Ethan and Zark.“It’s almost time, let’s go upstairs for the meeting.”

Ethan didn’t think much of it, assuming he was concerned about Chase.“It could have been done a few days ago, but there was a problem with the equity transfer of one of Chase’s companies. They need to sort that out first. But it should be soon.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Ashley had lunch with the Speed employees. After lunch and a short break, she resumed work. By 3:30 PM, she finished and returned to Eternal.
This day, Ashley and Tim went to Green Corporation’s party after work. Zark went to greet them, looking stunned when he saw Ashley. She was wearing a beautiful off–the–shoulder, bluish–purple, figure–hugging gown. Her skin was flawless, and the shimmering dress made her look elegant, pretty, and innocent. He found her more captivating than before. Zark subtly concealed his emotions, greeting them politely, “Mr. Reed, Ms. Jones, I’m so glad to have you here.”
Ashley and Tim smiled at him.
