When I looked into his eyes at that moment, I felt as if we were from two different planets. I have seen this ambitious desire in his eyes before. When we just got married, he dedicated all his attention to the company’s business. Those eyes were always so calm and fearless as if nothing in the world could ever stop him from getting what he wanted. There was no denying I was deeply attracted to that side of him. But as for today, I am starting to find it troubling.
Now I realized he had never let go of his ambition. He knew I would probably have opposed him, so he delicately planned this intrigue by using GW Group to trick me into signing the letter of authorization. His shadow game completely bluffed me. All this while, he has always wanted to collaborate with Winzone Trading.
As thoughts ran wild in my head, I grabbed his arm tightly as I could no longer suppress my worries. “Ashton, could you please tell me what exactly you are doing?”
Hearing this, Ashton wrapped his arms around my neck and smiled at me patiently. “I know that you would get worried easily due to your previous depression and your current pregnancy. That’s why I chose not to tell you. You should not endure too much stress for the sake of our baby.”
I found his explanation hard to believe. “It has nothing to do with my depression or pregnancy. Ashton, you know exactly what I am asking.”
I tried to collect myself, but I could hardly bear his lies anymore. “Why are you keeping so many secrets from me? You were the one who told me that launching in M Country would be like suicide. You said that you didn’t want me to take the risk. Yet you are risking it all now. Why can’t you do it a safer way?”
Right at this instant, I came to comprehend what Jackson had told me. All this while, what I knew was merely a tip of an iceberg.
Fuller Corporation had just moved its headquarters to K City for a year. Thus it would still be immature to enter the international market. Numerous parties had given the same advice to Ashton, yet all had fallen short on his deaf ears.
Right then, the smile on Ashton’s face suddenly vanished. “Who told you about the finance project?”
