As a female chairperson, Ashlyn naturally wouldn't be invited to such events.
However, her high-profile appearance at the summit made Lucas have a feeling that Ashlyn had an ulterior motive.
Since she is so interested in coming, I decided to bring her in myself. Otherwise, she might try to sneak in and endanger herself.
To Ashlyn's surprise, the hyper-realistic mask fitted perfectly. She was slightly taken aback. At that moment, she was no different from the other women in the room. She was not the chairman of Centennial Healthcare.
Instead, she was just Lucas' female companion.
The other women were staring at Lucas' handsome face and didn't notice what he had done to Ashlyn a moment ago.
Just then, men started to enter the conference room one after another.
Ashlyn noticed that they were all familiar faces. After all, they had a meeting and lunch together that day.
Each and every one of them was proud and pretentious during the day.
Thus, Ashlyn didn't expect them to act so lowly at night.
She watched as the men entered the room and picked women they liked as if they were products on a shelf. Soon, the men each had women on their sides.
After everyone took their seats, their host, Leonardo Tasker, who was famous for being an owner of a large jewelry company, cleared his throat and smiled deviously. “Good evening, everybody. Tonight, I have prepared a dozen of gorgeous women for you. Each of them went through a full inspection, so they are absolutely clean.”
The end of Lucas' eyes curved upward as he heard that. He smirked and glanced around the room.
However, he was completely emotionless.
Ashlyn continued to play the role of Lucas' female companion and nuzzled in his arms. At that instant, she could sense the cold and frightening aura from his body.
Yet, when she looked up, she saw a soft grin on his devious face.
