Chapter 113
“Mm-hmm
“Come back early tomorrow and take me out.”
“Okay.”
Chase left ten minutes later. He and Tanya arrived at the gala around 8 PM. Tanya’s attire was stunning. Their arrival immediately drew everyone’s
attention.
Zark and Ethan were already there. Jeffery and Matt arrived as well. Jeffery was again captivated by Tanya’s beauty. Matt asked Benjamin, “Is that Tanya?
Yes. She’s stunning, right?”
Matt looked away; no matter how hot she was, she was someone else’s girlfriend.
Chase’s presence drew a crowd. Tim and Ashley arrived later. Eternal was the most prominent company in the business world. Tim’s presence drew even more attention. Ashley, in a cream-colored handmade dress, captivated everyone.
“Both Mr. Sterling and Mr. Reed are lucky men.”
Indeed.” Tanya and Ashley were exceptional beauties, though with different styles.
Zark, Ethan, Matt, and Jeffery noticed them immediately. They had expected to see Tim here, but not Ashley. Seeing her with Tim, Zark’s gaze sharpened.
Ethan wasn’t surprised to see Ashley but was impressed by her look. Even though he didn’t like her, he had to admit her aura was unique.
The gilded cage, alas, held only dust and ashes. The thought soured Ethan’s mood, and he looked away.
Jeffery was undeniably struck by Ashley’s beauty, his thoughts mirroring Ethan’s. Almost instantly, disgust twisted his features, and he averted his gaze.
Benjamin found himself quite taken with Ashley’s type. He was reluctant to tear his eyes away, but Jeffery’s reaction made him confuse.”What’s the matter? Look at your face… did she get under your skin again?”
Matt also withdrew his gaze.
Jeffery told Benjamin what had happened at Eternal, sparing no detail.
Benjamin whistled.”Wow… I didn’t know Ms. Jones would do something like that.”
Matt put down his glass and said,”Perhaps there’s some history between her and that Miss Mond that we don’t know about.”
Jeffery scoffed. There’s bad blood between them, so she can take it personally?”
Without knowing the full picture, Matt held back further comment.
Ashley and Tim arrived at the ballroom, only to find themselves instantly surrounded. Everyone showered Tim with compliments.
Tim replied, “I do appreciate that, but Eternal’s success is based on the hard work of everyone in our company. He glanced at Ashley. “Especially Ashley,
she’s been instrumental.”
From the CUAP project to the recent successes, the core technology resided squarely with her. However, her true identity remained shrouded in secrecy, bound by non-disclosure agreements with the government signed by her and key personnel involved in the projects.
Though her role couldn’t be publicly revealed, highlighting her importance was still permissible.
Eternal had been attracting significant attention lately; many knew Ashley was an employee and incredibly close to Tim, even empowered to handle company affairs in his absence. Tim’s words further solidified the impression that she was highly capable.
