Chapter 1759 One Million
Until the food was served, the atmosphere in the private room was heavy, and no one broke the silence.
Emery kept making tiny moves under the table, expressing that the atmosphere was too depressing. Meanwhile, I thought that it was quite normal, as there was always the calm before the storm.
Finally, the table was full of exquisite dishes, and the waiters exited the room.
Although the food on the table looked delicious, no one paid any attention to it. On such occasions, the food was not the main point.
Casting a brief look at Nathaniel, I tried to figure out his intentions. Nevertheless, he was eating gracefully and only showed a hint of impatience when Nora placed some food on his plate.
It seemed that Nathaniel was also a germaphobe, just like Ashton.
Even though Nora had a strong sense of pride, she chose to suppress her irritation. Instead of eating the food that Nathaniel had rejected, she threw it on another plate.
In my eyes, the relationship between them was pretty weird. Despite being together all the time, Nathaniel was not even willing to eat the food placed on his plate by Nora.
“Since you’re here, name your price.” Ashton cut straight to the point and broke the awkward silence.
On the surface, we were supposed to decide the ownership of the shares that originally belonged to me through the meeting. Besides, there was already a conflict between John and Ashton when the former rejected the latter’s decision in the company, so there was indeed no need for customary pleasantries.
Both of them were raring to fight as if they had really turned against each other.
