Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 312

Even Stanley, who wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, realized something was off. Was Lester’s anger and fierceness towards him because he had been rude to Ashley?

He thought, ‘What’s the relationship between Lester and Ashley?

‘Why is he so protective of her?

‘Oh no! My deal with the Pliskin Group is about to be finalized. I can’t let it fall apart because of Ashley!”

In a panic, Stanley rushed over, gasping for air. “Ms. Ramos, it’s a misunderstanding! I spoke without thinking and caused a little friction. between us. I didn’t mean to insult you!”

Ashley smiled, “Oh? A misunderstanding?”

Stanley regretted his words deeply. Surrounded by so many people, he couldn’t even try to deny it and had to swallow his pride. “Ms. Ramos, I didn’t recognize your importance. I apologize for offending you. Please don’t take it to heart! Mr. Pliskin, I didn’t know about your relationship with Ms. Ramos. I sincerely apologize and hope it won’t affect our deal!”

This deal was worth billions of dollars.

Billions of dollars were just a drop in the bucket for the Pliskin Group, but for Stanley, it was significant. He couldn’t afford to lose this deal.

Then, Lester laughed, but his eyes showed endless ferocity. “Your small deal isn’t worth a hair on Ashley’s head. Let it be affected.”

Stanley was stunned, his eyes wide with surprise.

‘Billions of dollars not worth a hair on Ashley’s head?

‘Lester dismissed the deal so casually.

Just for Ashley?”

His face filled with disbelief and fear. Stanley swallowed hard and pressed on. “Mr. Pliskin, I was rude to Ashley, but I’ve apologized. Are you ending our deal just for her?”

Stanley meant to say, ‘Don’t be so hasty!

‘That’s a deal worth billions of dollars. How could it be less important

than one woman!”

But Lester remained protective as if it were the most natural thing. “Yes, for Ashley.”

Stanley’s eyes widened even more, curious and regretful. ‘What’s the relationship between Ashley and Lester? Why is she so important to him?

“This deal worth billions of dollars…

Stanley, anxious and knowing he couldn’t persuade Lester, turned to Ashley and slapped himself. “Ms. Ramos, it was all my fault! I’m the bad one here! I know you’re a generous person. Please forgive me!”

Watching Stanley slap himself, Ashley blinked and smiled elegantly, “I actually liked your defiant attitude carlier.”

Stanley was stunned, almost in tears, and slapped himself again. “Ms. Ramos, I’m really sorry! I’m the bad one! Please, could you talk to Mr. Pliskin…”

Ashley didn’t bother with him anymore.
