At the end of the meal, Calvert suddenly said that he wanted to talk to Ash alone. 

“It’s fine, Lachlan. Wait for me in the car.” Ash implied that there was nothing to worry about. 

Lachlan probably knew that the two of them were not on good terms. When he heard this, he looked at her worriedly. She shook her head at Lachlan, indicating that it was fine. 

Dwayne had already grabbed Lachlan’s arm by then. “Lachlan, let’s go and give the lovey–dovey couple some space to mingle.” 

Ash almost rolled her eyes. 

‘Someone should just zip this guy’s mouth since he didn’t know how to speak normally,’ she grumbled in her head. 

Ash propped her arm on the table and looked at Calvert. “What’s the matter? Spill it. They are all gone. Why are you being so mysterious?” 

“Make Shadow Ventures give up the bidding of Riverstone’s Commercial Area.” 

Ash knew that she shouldn’t have stayed. She did not expect Calvert to say something like that. “Why? Have you lost 

confidence? Are your

Ash narrowed her eyes and continued. “Also, why are you telling me this? I have nothing to do with Shadow Ventures. You are talking to the wrong person. That is not up to me. If that is all you wanted to say, we are done here.” 

Ash stood up and headed for the door without looking back. 

Just as she reached the door, she heard an inhospitable voice behind her. “Your relationship with William is enough for you to manipulate the situation. Why do you have to take yourself down a peg or two?” 

“You may be right, but why should I pass the message for you? Since you already know how good my relationship with William is, please don’t slander him in front of me in the future, Mr. Snider.” 

Ash’s words were filled with anger. ‘It is true that nothing good was ever coming out of Calver’s mouth!‘ 

“Bang!” 

Ash closed the door pretty hard. 

Calvert’s eyes dimmed along with the sound of the door closing. There was a hint of displeasure between Ash’s brows. Calvert assumed that William had a really extraordinary place in Ash’s heart. 

“Hey, Ash. That was fast.” Dwayne was leaning against the car seat and chatting with Lachlan. When he saw that Ash had come out, he chimed in. 

Ash’s expression was less friendly than earlier on, giving off an unapproachable aura. She raised his brows and

glanced at him coldly. “We are done talking, and that is why I am out. There is no need for me to linger. Anyway, Calvert and I are not on the best terms, neither are you and I, so stop being buddy–buddy with me.” 

Ash then walked up to Lachlan and said in a gentler voice, “Let’s go Lachlan.” 

Dwayne was left alone in the wind. ‘How did it become like this after chatting for a few minutes with Calvert? Ash was not angry when we were eating just now.‘ 

Dwayne, who was inexplicably implicated, was confused. Unfortunately, that was not the end. 

“What’s going on? Did you step on her toes just now?” He asked Calvert, who came out of the room not long after that. 

By the time Calvert got to the car, Ash and Lachlan had already left, leaving the depressed Dwayne behind. 

Dwayne went up to Calvert to talk to him in an attempt to find out the reason. However, he was given the cold shoulder again. “Nothing. Aren’t you blabbing too much in front of her?” 

‘What!‘ Dwayne was confused. 

He thought he was just trying to liven the atmosphere just now. “I am not going to take the blame. Don’t vent your anger on me after you have upset someone else.” 

“Let me tell you, women need to be coaxed. How can you bear to annoy such a beautiful angel?” Dwayne placed his arm on Calvert’s shoulder as he imparted his experience.
