Shaw Group’s anniversary celebration event came to an end while the netizens were going wild.
Richard narrowed his eyes when he saw Ashlyn head for the exit with Cassandra.
He was about to go after them when Shiela grabbed his arm and asked, “Richie, are you mad at me? I didn’t mean to—”
Richard forcefully suppressed his feelings of annoyance and frustration as he replied, “It’s fine. You’re still very young. I don’t mind it at all.”
Feeling touched, Shiela exclaimed while looking at him with teary eyes, “You’re so nice to me, Richie!”
Richard could only watch as the two ladies walked out of the building.
Meanwhile, a black Bentley was parked outside the building entrance.
The man sitting inside opened the door and got out of the car when he saw Ashlyn.
Ashlyn arched an eyebrow in response when she saw Lucas dressed in a black shirt and black slacks.
His handsome face looked all the more alluring in the night, and he easily stole everyone’s attention the moment he showed up.
No one could seem to take their eyes off him. He was like a magnet for attention.
As Ashlyn walked up to him, Lucas took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. “It’s cold at night. Come on. Let’s go.”
“All right,” Ashlyn said as she nuzzled against his chest and felt the warmth of his body.
Not wanting to ruin the mood by being a third wheel, Cassandra was about to leave when a car pulled up beside her. Spencer rolled the window down and said, “Passenger seat, now.”
For some reason, Cassandra felt her face burning up when she saw him. Even so, she did as told and got into the passenger seat.
While driving down the highway, they heard an update from the traffic news report.
“A fire broke out at Haddock Group just three minutes ago. The entire building ended up in smoke and flames. Fortunately, no one was working that late at night, so most of the employees had already returned. Only a few security guards were trapped inside. The firefighters have been deployed to help put out the fire. The cause of the fire is still being investigated. It is possible that the fire could have been caused by the recent hot and dry weather. Imperial Hotel caught fire a while back, and now, Haddock Group has fallen victim to it as well. This serves as a reminder to everyone that we should take great precautions to prevent fires.”
Ashlyn’s eyes lit up when she heard that. “Dixon’s office building caught fire?”
What? Why did Dixon get eliminated before I could even do anything to him?
Lucas held her hand as he replied, “This is what it means to be burned when playing with fire.”
Ashlyn arched an eyebrow at him in amusement. “Oh? Were you the one who set fire to that building?”
Lucas lowered his gaze and looked her in the eye as he said, “No one gets away with hurting you.”
I’ll take that as a yes, then.
Ashlyn felt a warm sensation fill up her heart when she heard that. “Thank you,” she said while holding his hand tightly.
