She had never liked me and was quite agitated when she saw Ashton ignoring her while feeding me soup. She was so pissed that her face was red.

She had never liked me and was quite agitated when she saw Ashton ignoring her while feeding me soup. She was so pissed that her face was red.

He was actually just worried about me but he had accidentally made me a vixen in her eyes. I quickly nudged him and gave him a look to say that there was business to take care of.

Only then did he put down the bowl of soup slowly. Ashton turned to look at Rachel with a cold expression and said, “This is a decision made by the senior executives of the company. You’re only a technical staff, Rachel. Know your place.”

His words were a bit ruthless, but it wasn’t unreasonable. The woman was knowledgeable and had the skills, but she was only a senior technical staff. The way the company operated was indeed not within her scope of duties.

Ashton was already being really patient with her as she was just a technical staff who barged into her boss’s house and questioned him. If it was someone else, they would have fired her already.

Still, Rachel was always eager to do well in everything. Instead of admitting to her mistakes, she said arrogantly, “Yes, it’s true that I am only in charge of technical issues of the company. But Mr. Fuller, the company had invested several billion in AI technology last year, and multiple foreign enterprises earned a lot from it. It’s because of this that Fuller Corporation was so anxious to set up our own AI department. Every worker under me has been working overtime every day and we finally got results. What position does that put us in now that you acquired Dartan’s robots?”

I could understand what Rachel was trying to say. The company had a limited budget and it cost a lot to acquire a company. This meant that the budget of the company’s AI project would be cut down, hence slowing down their progress and discouraging the researchers. If they were not careful enough, the money for the earlier research would be thrown down the drain too.

Rachel was the one who built up AI in the company so it was no wonder that she had such a big reaction. However, Ashton had no intention of compromising.
