Wearing a white Bluetooth headset, she greeted,
“Hello.”
“Boss...” Tears welled up in Trevor's eyes the minute he heard Ashlyn's voice.
“I beg you! Please save my grandpa... He's been unconscious after suffering from a stroke...” he cried out.
“What's a grown man like you crying for? Have you no shame?” Ashlyn's beautiful hazel eyes were half-closed as she spoke. A hint of laziness could be perceived in the corner of her eyes. If anything, that gave her a roguish look.
“Wait a minute... Boss, did you get off the plane already?” Trevor heard Ashlyn's footsteps from the other end of the line, thus becoming alert out of the blue.
“D*mn! I'm at the south-east entrance. I'll come pick you up.” After hanging up the phone, Ashlyn put away her phone without any change in her mien. Behind her, a towering man wore a black cashmere coat, which made him look even more slender and imposing. His facial features were as though they were sculpted by the hand of a deity, appearing incredibly attractive. As he walked past those passersby along the way, he drew quite a lot of attention from the public. Even so, Lucas only focused on following behind Ashlyn. His loving eyes were all on that lady alone.
Spencer was beside Lucas. The former, for one, was slightly unhappy, though. A few days ago, he had been discharged from the hospital, and his leg had healed. On top of that, he also experienced a shocking episode where Mavis was kidnapped right at the door of the restaurant.
Yet, something else was bothering him. Why didn't Boss bring Cassandra along when he goes on a business trip with Ms. Berry?
That actually somewhat saddened Spencer. Their flight was at six in the morning, so they had to wake up at four o'clock. After grabbing some daily necessities, they headed straight to the airport to catch their flight to Jadeborough. Because of that, Spencer still felt sleepy and sluggish.
However, he persevered all the way there. The winter in Jadeborough was particularly cold, coupled with the dry air. It was poles apart from the damp atmosphere in Lake City. To make matters worse, the northerly wind was strong in Jadeborough, not to mention its intense sandstorms. As the trio walked among other travelers and passengers wrapped in down jackets, they seemed a tad out of place. To Spencer, the air was biting chilly.
The northern region's really f*cking cold!
