“Do you know why?” Ashton would not deliberately increase the workload for others for no apparent reason.
“It seems to be AC Credit had missed out on certain aspects during the audit. It wasn’t a serious issue. However, Mr. Fuller was angry,” Stacey muttered timidly.
I did not probe further. Since Ashton had requested it to be redone, it didn’t matter what I have to say. Besides, he would know what he was doing.
I hummed in response. While I was pouring the mineral water to the planters on the balcony, I suddenly recalled something. “Is there any problems in HiTech?”
“No, the market responded very well. However, there seems to be something wrong with OrbitTech.”
I was startled and looked at her. “What’s wrong?”
“There’s a technology company in A City that is preparing to acquire them lately. The matter is still being discussed as there were differing opinions.”
Stacey had been keeping an eye on OrbitTech. I nodded and uttered, “Look up information for the company in A City. Then quickly make an appointment for me to meet with the management at OrbitTech.”
Since Ashton had been paying attention to OrbitTech, it meant that he was planning to acquire them. It seemed that the other party was also anxious to acquire OrbitTech because of their technological expertise.
After our chat, Stacey went back and continued her work. I turned on the computer and did some research on OrbitTech. Even though the company was small but the market value was decent. Clearly, the boss was only good at technical knowledge. Otherwise, the finances of the company wouldn’t be in a mess.
While I was reading up on OrbitTech’s information, Ashton entered the office. He removed his coat and revealed his tall and slender figure. Without the usual seriousness, he looked stunning at that moment.
“What are you looking at?”
I turned off the computer and stood up. “OrbitTech. Are we leaving now? Did Dr. Ludwick give you the address?”
He nodded and pulled me into a hug. “Yes, let’s go. Are you hungry?”
“No!” Even though I didn’t remember eating that afternoon. I had not been hungry for a couple of days already.
Ashton’s car was parked in the garage. Due to my bad experience with the garage, he went to his car alone while I waited for him at the exit.
It was crowded in the lobby. I couldn’t bear standing for too long, hence I took a seat on a bench.
