Chapter 211
Chase continued, “Why don’t you call Grandma now?
Ashley sighed internally. She knew Emily wouldn’t approve of her doing it. She asked, “If we don’t change the agreement, when can we get the certificate?”
Chase replied, “Probably sometime this year.”
It was only March; there were still several months until the end of the year. She could wait. But…
Chase asked, Any other questions?”
Menta
Ashley hung up without answering. Her phone rang again immediately. It was Zark. He told her Betty had the flu and couldn’t go out this weekend.
Ashley said, “It’s okay, let’s reschedule when she recovers.” Worried about Betty, she added, “Let me know when she’s feeling better.”
Sensing her concern, Zark chuckled.”Will do.” After a few more pleasantries, he hung up.
Ashley planned to quickly develop a new model for the previous project. She spent most of her weekend working from home.
Monday, at the office, after reviewing some documents, Ashley headed to the interview room. During the fourth interview, the candidate, stopped at the doorway.”Mr. Reed isn’t here?” Clearly, he stopped because he didn’t seen Tim.
Ashley looked up.”No.”
The candidate studied her intently and then raised an eyebrow.”You must be Ashley Jones.”
“Yes.” Ashley didn’t ask how he knew her, and she knew he was disappointed to see her alone.”Tim’s not here. Do you wanna go on with the interview?”
He hesitated, then sat down.”Let’s do it.”
Seeing his displeasure, Ashley went straight to the point. “How do you want to do it?”
The question was a bit beyond his expectation. He raised his brow, asking,”Any way I want?”
Ashley replied, “Surprise me.”
He took a laptop from his bag, fiddled with it, and handed it to her. Then, he sat back with his legs crossed, eating a lollipop and looking at Ashley with his head tilted. On the screen was a long string of code.
