Samantha hurried over to play the dutiful wife. “Mr. President, it must have been a long and tiring journey for Mr. Nolan. Chillton should be arriving soon.”
Following her repeated calls to hurry him up, her good-for-nothing son finally strutted over, late as usual.
Upon hearing her voice, the President couldn't help but think of Lucas's identity again. With a stiff expression on his face, he beckoned at Chillton, who was approaching from a near distance away. “Come here, Chillton. This is Mr. Nolan.”
Chillton had just come out of the restroom. His face was numb from the cold, and his expression was extremely stiff.
He wanted to crack a smile, but he simply couldn't manage it.
Before he even reached Lucas, an airy voice drifted into the air. “The weather's getting chilly, and some people need to be put in their place. What a fitting name indeed.”
Everyone was stumped.
The President's expression promptly turned as dark as thunder.
The fury blazing within him was on the verge of snapping its rein and bursting forth uncontrollably.
How could this woman be so outrageous? She's shameless despite my politeness, all of which is out of respect for Lucas. If it weren't because Lucas was the one who brought her here, I would've had her thrown out a long time ago!
He glared at Ashlyn with a furious look on his face. “What do you mean by that? At the very least, he's my son. You're being utterly disrespectful to us both.”
In other words, he was saying that she didn't respect him as the President.
Ashlyn threw the president a languid glance, her voice casual. “Oh, it's nothing. I was just inspired by the word Chillton.”
It's that simple!
At long last, Chillton's face had finally warmed, allowing him to speak. He couldn't help but swing his gaze to Ashlyn and was instantly stunned by the breathtaking beauty.
What a beautiful woman! Look at her mesmerizing countenance and the regal air radiating off her! When was there such an extraordinary woman in the elite circles? And how was he not aware of it?
He had never found anything wrong with his name, but to have such a beautiful woman find fault with it then, he suddenly felt a tad embarrassed.
After all, any man would want to leave a good impression on a beautiful woman.
