“Despite our efforts, Centennial Healthcare is still like a newborn child compared to the corporations incorporated centuries ago. As we grow, we grow with the hope that we will eventually grow into a massive tree that could protect our country and her people under our shade!”
After giving her speech, Ashlyn gracefully walked down the stage as she returned to her seat.
Her exquisite face was eye-catching. The white business attire covering her body did not make her look stiff but instead further amplified her presence.
The appearance of such a beautiful yet capable female chairperson immediately had the audience clapped enthusiastically.
The figureheads from the business world all came from different countries in the world, and they were all important individuals in their own countries.
Yet, they were all uncontrollably praising the lady. After all, the growth of Centennial Healthcare was in eye-visible speed, and that had already drawn the attention of all players in the related industries.
The meeting ended at noon sharp, and the participants were invited to a luxurious buffet lunch in one of the main halls of the building by the organizers.
The hall was decorated lavishly and fashionably with all sorts of ornaments everywhere, and the dishes were beyond perfection.
In fact, in order to have the tongues of the many participants from various countries taken care of, the organizers had prepared delicacies from different cuisines. Lucas, however, had his eyes locked on the lady surrounded by the many people, and his gaze was sharp while jealously consumed him.
Without a second thought, he took a step forward as he was trying to approach Ashlyn. But before he could move any further, he was met with another woman, who stumbled as she slowly approached him.
She had her hand on her forehead, and she seemed to be in great pain. “Oh... My head... It hurts...”
Seeing this, Lucas frowned right away, for he never liked being a gentleman.
With a movement that was not lacking in both agility and flexibility, Lucas precisely avoided the woman while she fell straight onto the ground.
The woman had it all planned out. The handsome-looking man would catch her like a hero, and the two would then exchange numbers. No matter how she looked at it, she thought that there would be a series of events between them that would eventually lead them into the bed.
Yet, the man actually ignored her like she was nothing but thin air.
