Chapter 145
“Seriously, why are you still worried about Julia even though I am with her? Why did you have to follow me here? Are you afraid that I won’t take good care of Julia?” Asher shouted at Harry as soon as he entered the private room. “I heard about it.”
“What did you hear?” Harry poured himself a glass of coffee. The wound was still bandaged and had not completely healed. He did not pour Asher a glass of coffee.
When Asher saw this, he could only pour coffee himself. “I heard that in order to free up three days, you specially compressed all the work in the past few days and finished it together. If you told me that you were worried about Julia in advance, I wouldn’t have her come on this business trip with me.”
“Who told you that?” Harry put down his glass and looked at Asher calmly.
“Do you think I don’t know who you are?” Asher did not even look at Harry. “Where are you staying tonight? Do you want me to arrange another room for Julia? Aren’t you going to tell Julia when you are here? I think Julia has been a little absent- minded for the past couple of days.”
Harry was still drinking coffee. After taking a few sips, Asher put it down. “How can coffee be as good as wine? I’m not used to having this. I have to have coffee with my father when I am at home, now I still have to drink this in order to see you. I can’t do this anymore. Alden, go get me some alcohol.”
Alden glanced at Harry before leaving to get the wine.
“Don’t tell me you had a fight with Julia?”
“No.”
“Really? I mentioned Julia just now, but you didn’t say anything. Do you want to stay with Julia tonight? If you don’t, I won’t do anything about it.” When Asher saw Alden coming back with the wine, he immediately got someone to open the wine. He drank a glass first to satisfy himself. “I can’t stand the way you keep everything in your heart. Can’t you just say what you want to say? You have to ask people to guess your thoughts. I’m fine with it. Julia probably won’t be able to figure out why for the rest of her life.”
Asher had heard from Kathy that Julia had decided not to go on a business trip at the last minute. He did not ask about it in detail. Later, he saw Julia coming. Coupled with Julia’s condition over the past two days, Asher felt that he knew what was going on since he felt that he was experienced enough to guess the true reason.
He felt that there must be some conflict between Harry and Julia. When he saw the wound on Harry’s arm, he roughly knew why. “Julia is a young lady. It’s her first time out on a job, and she has never been in a romantic relationship before. If you want to tell her something, just say it directly. Don’t always make her guess. I think Julia didn’t want to go on this business trip before because she wanted to stay and take care of you.”
“Drink,” Harry said in a low voice, “Can’t you shut your mouth even while drinking?”
“I’m imparting my experience to you. You can’t be so tough with women.”
Asher was called over to eat. In the end, he realized that he was the only one eating the entire time. Harry almost did not even lift his fork. Asher was also the only one talking. Harry would occasionally say a few words that were inconsequential.
Asher was really bored. “I won’t accompany you anymore. You should look for Julia. I’ve already gotten someone to arrange it. If you don’t accept it, I’ll immediately get someone to restore it to its original state.”
At this moment, Harry did not remain silent. “Got it.”
Harry got into the car and left, leaving Asher standing alone at the door. The secretary went forward and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with Mr. Wright?”

Asher said, “There’s something wrong with his brain. He probably has gone crazy.”

“Mr. Wright, won’t we scare Mrs. Wright if we suddenly go to see her like this? Why don’t you send a message to her first?” Alden said very considerately.
Even though he had been by Harry’s side for so many years, he did not know what Harry was thinking. He thought, ‘Why does something that can be easily resolved become so troublesome in Harry’s hands?”
“Okay,” Harry said calmly. Then, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Julia.

At this moment, Julia was packing her luggage. Valerie was helping her as she said, “Why is it so sudden? Aren’t the two of us just fine staying in the same room? Why did they suddenly arrange for us to stay in separate rooms?”
Julia said, “I don’t know. Maybe they are worried that if the two of us live together, it’ll affect our productivity.”
“Of course not.” Valerie put down the cosmetics in her hand. “Why don’t I ask Ms. Powell? She definitely knows why.”
Julia quickly stopped Valerie. “We just have to sleep separately. There’s no need to disturb Ms. Powell. Aren’t we all going to work overtime? It’s good that we’re separated. This way, I don’t have to disturb you. Besides, the company might have too much money to spend.”
Valerie still did not understand why, but she felt that Julia was right. She could not disturb her idol over such a small matter. She could only squat down and help Julia pack up the makeup in the washroom.
Julia was moved to a room upstairs. She carried her luggage upstairs and was surprised to see the new room. It was much more upscale than the one she and Valerie were staying in. Hence, Valerie made a bold assumption. “Julia, do you think Harry specially arranged it for you?”
“Of course not.” Julia took out her clothes out and hung them up. She denied Valerie’s words without even thinking about it. “He wouldn’t have the time to do that.”
