Shadow Ventures dealt with this matter quite quickly and swiftly gave a corresponding solution, but it was still more or less affected.
After Ash was done with her work, it was already late at night when she got home. She did not have the energy to climb over the wall. She dragged her exhausted body through the main entrance and realized that the living room of the main building was still dimly lit.
She slowed down her footsteps and saw that Brooke was sitting on the sofa. She seemed to have fallen asleep.
“You’re back, Ash.”
Ash was trying to cover Brooke with a throw, but she still woke the latter up. The first thing that came from her mother was gentle care.
It seemed that Brooke was waiting for Ash to come home. Ash’s stance softened and she sat down beside Brooke. “Mom, have you been waiting for me?”
“It worries me when you don’t come back, but I don’t want to disturb you. Your father is right. You are a big girl now. I need to let go sometimes.”
What Brooke had just said made her own heart ached terribly. She had spent a long time finding her daughter, and when they finally reunited, Ash was already an independent lady and could no longer be by Brooke’s side all the time.
Ash knew that Brooke was aggrieved and upset. She held Brooke’s arm and did something that she rarely did—showing her daughterly affection!
“Mom, next time you want to know what I am doing, you can just call or text me. I can also update you on my whereabouts regularly if you like. It is fine. I am your daughter, and I will always be.” Ash never knew she was capable of saying such mushy words.
Her own words gave her goosebumps.
Brooke’s eyes were glistening with tears, and her heart softened a lot. “Ash, it was me. It was me who let you down. Starting from now, we are back as a family. I’ll make it up to you.”
“Yes, Mom.”
Brooke was probably deeply touched by Ash’s soft and sweet behavior. That night, the former had Ash sat by her side, and they chatted for almost an hour. By the time Ash got to her bed, it was almost one in the morning.
‘It is all that fickle–minded and unpredictable man’s fault. Otherwise, why would I be so tired recently?‘ Ash thought.
However, it was also quite challenging. It had been a long time since she had met her match. Calvert was more capable than she had imagined.
Dwayne forcefully made Calvert join him for a meal at a viral restaurant near their office. As soon as they

came out of the private room, They saw Ash.
“What are you doing here?” Calvert blurted.

Ash found it funny. Her eyes flickered with a hint of sarcasm. “Can’t I be here? Are you the owner of this restaurant? There is nothing here saying that I cannot enter this place, is there? Don’t tell me that you think that I was following you.” Ash frowned and bombarded Calvert in disbelief.
Calvert was just asking out of curiosity, but Ash, who was standing in front of him shot words from her mouth like a machine gun and would not stop.
Calvert was wearing a black shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned, revealing his slender neck and strong collarbone. His lips curled up. “You’re overthinking it.”
“Oh, let’s hope that is the case.” Ash shrugged and was ready to walk past him.
Before she could take a step, she saw a slight change in expression on Calvert’s frigid face. “Who are you with?” Calvert asked.
Ash looked up, gave him the coldest stare, and curled her lips. “Am I supposed to report this to you? I don’t think we are that close, are we?”
“Keep in mind of who you are working under.” Calvert furrowed his brows. Clearly, he was not happy with what Ash had just uttered.
