I guess it just slipped my mind that he was an outstanding student at K University. After graduating for many years, he had donated numerous funds to K University.
I shook my head and smirked. Honestly, in my heart, I was worried about Fuller Corporation’s business. I couldn’t stop fretting about it until I eventually asked, “Fuller Corporation’s stock has fallen and suffered heavy losses. You…”
“Don’t worry!” He grinned. “I know what to do.”
Indeed, he had been in control of Fuller Corporation for many years. Hence, it was just as he said – he could handle trading in the market with ease. A single downturn in the market meant nothing for him.
When Joseph arrived, Ashton was feeding the soup delicately into my mouth. Joseph, who was initially in panic, became embarrassed when he saw the public display of affection.
In spite of that, Ashton didn’t seem to bother at all. He pulled a tissue and wiped the smudge at the corner of my mouth. “Marcus is behind this. He intends to drive me to worry so that I become unfocused. He didn’t mean to shake the stock market. You can deal with it in the same way as before. There is no need to be that worried.”
Joseph nodded but did not say much. He just glanced at me and then left after that.
After he left, I lazed on the sofa with a pillow in my arms and gazed at Ashton. “Joseph seems to be able to control everything one-handedly.”
He nodded as a recognition of my statement. Without saying much, he walked over to me and plopped onto the sofa with me. Needless to say, this was much smaller compared to the bed.
After that, neither Jared nor Sally seemed to come back to the villa again.
By the time Jackson came, it was already a week later. He was sitting in the living room lazily. “Why are you retaking the law school exams?”
I responded with a light smile. “My major was the law. Why not?”
“What are your plans after the exam? Where would you like to enjoy your holiday?” He shrugged and leaned back onto the sofa.
I shook my head as I was a bit taken aback. “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“How about going to the north? I have been thinking about it for quite a long time now.”
“Why do you… “ Why would he suddenly want to go traveling? From what I knew, Jackson was a homebody. If there were nothing important, he would not go out, let alone travel.
He scrolled through his phone and thought for a moment. “As one age, the way one looks at things will be different, of course. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have moved my clinic to K City. If you have time, you can stop by. The environment is really pleasant there.”
Counseling clinic?
I suddenly understood why he came over. “Why did you suddenly moved your office to K City?”
