My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Elyse was speechless for a while. Ashton was usually an independent and firm man—he often claimed that he was capable of doing anything that he set his mind to. However, now that he had to actually deal with an issue, he simply turned into a big baby! She was disgusted to hear that Ashton still collected allowance from his father. She was tempted to just shove him off a bridge. He’s worse than I am!

“Are you saying you can’t even deal with someone like Rose? You’re so…” Elyse wanted to say that he was useless, but she held her tongue back at the very last second. I’m already in trouble now, and I’m practically at the bottom of the food chain at this point. He’s the only influential friend I have now. I can’t afford to offend him—how would I keep myself alive then?

After a while, she was finally able to hold down her contempt toward Ashton and softened her tone as she said, “If you don’t wish to go against Rose, it’s fine, but I’d like to work under your company. The people at the company I’m working in at the moment are awful, and I don’t want to work with them anymore.”

“Well…” Ashton was still hesitant. He appeared to be a powerful figure in the public’s eyes, but he didn’t receive much respect in the Lowe Family. He was the youngest of the three sons in the Lowes, and his elder brothers were extremely capable and skillful. They both held significant roles in the company and received a lot of their father’s attention and care.

Ashton, on the other hand, never had an interest in running a company. He was a dreamer who enjoyed envisioning and imagining unrealistic scenarios, yet he was also a man of all words but no action. He hadn’t accomplished much in his whole life. His father didn’t even bother masking the fact that he was avoiding Ashton, treating him almost as if he was a pest.

“Well, you know how inconsiderate Leo was when I last helped you. He was the reason my father found out about it. My father doesn’t have a good impression of you now, so it’s practically impossible for me to hire you at the company.” He scratched the back of his head helplessly.

Lowe Family had a long history with the Alstons, and Ashton and Leo had practically grown up together. The families had always made comparisons between Ashton and Leo as they were growing up, and the comparisons always brought them to the same conclusion—that Leo was the gold standard to be achieved while Ashton was the biggest failure. Even though Ashton

about my role in this, and if he finds out that I have been lying, then my life will be over. He’s going to do more than just cancel our engagement! Elyse didn’t have the guts to imagine further what the man might do. She might have

before stealing the actual file from him. I’m begging you!” She shook his arms frantically. Ashton had embarrassed himself a few times in front of her earlier, and this time, he finally found something that he was capable of
