Ashlyn's icy cold reaction was enough to suffocate Lucas.
Despite the fact that Lucas had identified the murderer, Ashlyn was still exceptionally aloof when she looked at him.
What is it even if he found the murderer? We've already drawn a clear line between us, haven't we?
“Boss...” uttered Jared. He seemed like he could feel Ashlyn's emotions. Jared squeezed Ashlyn's arm with his big hands. Then he inched up against her ear and whispered, “At least you still have us around.”
Ashlyn lifted her chin and looked up at Jared. She smiled and said, “I'm doing fine.”
Jared looked tall and dashing. He also had a warm and upbeat disposition whereas Ashlyn had a bright smile. She always appeared elegant and classy. Clad in a suit with leather shoes, Jared looked every inch like the president of a company. Ashlyn looked sassy in her racing outfit, with her long hair flowing in the wind.
Together, the charismatic duo made perfect targets for media photos. The fans and media reporters quickly snapped up those photogenic moments of the duo.
Before that, long-time, devoted fans of the duo thought the two should get together. Those fans assumed it was an intentional display of affection by Jared, the charming CEO of Centennial Healthcare, toward his girlfriend.
With no time to lose, those fans posted eagerly on Twitter.
When the Twitter posts were out, the topic dominated the top trending searches.
Ashlyn and God of Cars, S, were the top trending keywords for quite a while.
Sandwiched between those Twitter headlines, there were a couple of headlines on Carmen as Claire's murderer.
Meanwhile, the Centennial Healthcare employees and subordinates were all bewildered.
Instantly, their faces were cramped with an indescribable feeling.
Boss? S is actually our Boss?
Boo-hoo. They were in despair momentarily as they thought about how they had treated Carmen in front of Jared in the past. Moments of them fawning up to Carmen flashed through their minds.
They found their past actions too humiliating to recall.
It was exceptionally embarrassing for the Harrison and Anderson brothers. They had wished the ground would just open up and swallow them alive.
I can't believe that woman, Carmen, had the audacity to treat our boss like that. When the employees thought about that, they were livid.
Wailing in misery, they wished they could turn back the clock. If they could reverse time, they would never curry favor with Carmen. Instead, they would have tried hard to get into Ashlyn's good books instead.
Then they thought about how mean Jared was.
He already knew the truth beforehand. However, he allowed them to continue with their mistake without lending a hand.
Jared watched in oblivion as the employees fought amongst themselves in a bloodbath.
After a while, Ashlyn felt rather tired.
