Chapter 241
Zark came back to his senses, looked at her and smiled, shaking his head:”Nothing.”
After talking things over with Zark, in the afternoon, Tim called back.
Tim said: “Just received a message from the lawyer, Tanya is still unwilling to terminate the contract. For this, she’s willing to pay us a pretty high reputation damage fee, but I didn’t agree. Since we can’t reach an agreement, I’ve already had the lawyer proceed directly with legal procedures.”
Ashley said: “Okay, I understand.”

After saying that, Tim added:”Chase will be coming to the company tomorrow to discuss things. Brian can handle the first part of the negotiations, but there’s a document that requires your personal confirmation, so…”
That is to say, she and Chase would need to meet tomorrow.
Ashley understood what he meant, and said:”Okay, I understand.”
The next day, Chase and Jackson arrived at the company in the afternoon..
As Tim said, Brian initially received Chase. Midway through, Ashley went to the conference room after receiving a message from Brian.
Perhaps Brian had already explained to Chase beforehand that she was there to verify contract details and sign on behalf of Tim.
Seeing her push the door open and come in, Chase and Jackson didn’t feel surprised.
After entering the meeting room, she greeted him in a business-like manner:”Hello, Mr. Sterling.”
Chase shook her hand, then sat down, and didn’t say much.
Ashley flipped through the documents and confirmed some terms in the contract with him. After confirming there were no issues, she immediately signed and said:”Pleasure working with you.”
Chase:”Pleasure working with you.”
Since the part she needed to handle was already completed, Ashley planned to leave first. She said to Brian:”I still have things to deal with, Mr. Pitt, please trouble you to entertain Mr. Sterling.”
With that, she stood up and was about to leave when Chase glanced at his wristwatch, looked up at her, and said:”Want to have dinner together tonight?”
Before Ashley could speak, Chase continued:”I’ll have someone pick up Sam later too.”
Brian had thought Chase was inviting Ashley to dinner because the two parties had reached a cooperation.
However, after hearing Chase’s second sentence, he was stunned; because he suddenly realized that Chase’s tone when speaking to Ashley seemed a bit too intimate and natural, as if they had known each other for a long time.
And…
Who is Sam?
Was he trying to talk to her about Tanya?
Worried she wouldn’t agree, he even brought Sam into it?
If it were in the past, she would probably feel an unbearable bitterness in her heart, but at this moment, Ashley’s expression was normal, and she told him in a calm voice: “Sorry, I don’t have time.”
With that, she turned and left without looking back.
Ashley’s attitude was a bit too cold…
Brian watched, always feeling something was off, he looked at Chase, just about to speak, but then saw Chase merely lower his head and smile after hearing Ashley’s refusal, seemingly not minding Ashley’s somewhat impolite attitude.
Jackson already knew about the Speed matter.
