Jessie gaped at her. “Come on, Ashlyn! It’s not office hours. Why would you work overtime?”
Ashlyn ignited the engine and said casually, “Making money makes me happy.”
Dazed, Jessie watched Ashlyn zoom off. Not knowing what to do, she stood there helplessly.
Jessie thought Ashlyn would feel bad because of Devin, but Ashlyn didn’t.
She had to admit she was a little deflated. Who wouldn’t be? Devin had chased her for over six months and then, out of nowhere, he had a new girlfriend.
Ashlyn looked around a bit while she waited at the intersection. The lights turned green and she drove on.
It was true what Ashlyn had told Jessie about having documents to read.
The development of the land in the north of the city motivated her, as it was her responsibility.
Giving Ashlyn the project had been Elvin’s way of making things difficult for her. He now knew who she was and didn’t dare to go against her again.
Ashlyn knew it must be distressing for Elvin to hand over such an important project to her and give up his control of it.
Yet there was nothing he could do.
Ashlyn’s father was the owner of Fairway Group.
The land was worth about forty billion dollars. It was extremely time-consuming to develop it in a way that would maximize its usefulness.
Ashlyn was determined to rise to the top management ranks of Fairway Group based on her talent, and this would mean garnering a collection of solid accomplishments. This project was just the beginning.
She knew that if she did make it to the headquarters, the shareholders would say she had only gotten that far because she was the chairman’s daughter.
Ashlyn didn’t care what they might say about her relying on her father, Stevie.
She could not deny that she had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Sometimes reincarnation was destiny.
Even so, she knew she was not lacking in ability. She had more than enough intelligence and capability, so she might as well show them.
Inheriting the family property was not going to be easy.
Reading the report had taken most of the night.
Looking at her phone after the long hours of concentrating on her work, she could see Jessie had left many messages.
The last message from Jessie was sent just five minutes ago. Reading through the messages, Ashlyn could see that her friend had asked if she was okay every few minutes.
After sending a few messages, Jessie had stopped, thinking Ashlyn didn’t want to reply.
However, she couldn’t stand it after a while and began to curse at Devin. She even said all men were jerks, including her brother and father.
“Ashlyn, don’t be upset because of men. You have so much going for you! You are wealthy and gorgeous and if you were to crook your finger at them, all men would come to you. Both Gordon and Devin are over thirty. They’re too old for you!”
A smile lit Ashlyn’s face as she read Jessie’s messages. Reading the documents had been exhausting. Now she felt much better.
Jessie called her as soon as Ashlyn finished reading the last message.
Ashlyn put Jessie’s call on speakerphone. Before Jessie could say anything, Ashlyn said, “Do you think I’m going to kill myself over a man?”
Jessie was about to comfort Ashlyn when she heard this. She breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled. “I just worry sometimes that you’re going to give up on life.”
“I have no intention of giving up on life. I have boatloads of money.”
Jessie was a little annoyed by Ashlyn’s flippancy over money. They both had rich families, but Jessie’s money was rigidly controlled by her family. “Why didn’t you reply to my messages?”
“I was reading the documents for a project,” Ashlyn replied. “The development of the land is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so I didn’t even have time to look at my phone.”
Jessie found her concern for Ashlyn unnecessary. “It seems you’re in a great mood.”
Ashlyn smiled, knowing Jessie had something to tell her. “What is it? Just tell me.”
“There’s a photograph of Devin with his new girlfriend in Beauty Villa,” Jessie replied.
Since Ashlyn just made her upset, Jessie decided to return the favor.
