Cherish After Losing Novel Ashley

Chapter 412

Menu

Eternal’s party was three days after Green Corporation’s. That evening, Zark arrived early. Things went smooth, perhaps because Tanya, Chase, and Jeffery weren’t there. The party was

well–attended.

Ashley and Tim were incredibly busy, hardly paying attention to Zark. Only when they saw him chatting with Steve did they realize he hadn’t left. Mond Corp’s party was held at the same night. They’d assumed Zark came here early so he could leave early to attend the other party. It turned out that they were wrong.

Tim was pleased. He murmured, “Now that’s what I call valuing the partnership. As for that stupid Jeffery… I don’t even want to talk about him.”

Ashley was equally surprised. Zark being so nice meant they couldn’t ignore him. They approached Zark, saying politely, “Mr. Green, there are a lot of guests here. You must think us very disorganized.”

Throughout the evening, Zark’s attention kept drifting to Ashley, though unnoticed by others. He clinked glasses with them, taking a sip before saying, “Not at all. We’re all friends.”

While their collaboration had been pleasant, Tim never considered them friends. He knew Zark was just being polite. Still, putting aside any personal issues, he appreciated Zark’s professional demeanor.

Zark spoke to Tim, but his gaze kept returning to Ashley. It was Tim and Ashley’s night. Despite Tim’s presence, Ashley had quite a bit to drink. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes bright with a hint of moisture, losing some of her usual coolness. She looked…cute.

Zark’s grip on his champagne flute tightened, then he slowly looked away. Ashley was tipsy, but not drunk.

As the party ended, Ashley walked Zark to the door. He stopped. The wind bit fiercely. Seeing a sliver of her slender, snow–white leg peeking from beneath her soft gown, he said, “Let’s stop
