Ashton and Armond chatted amicably. These two men who had never met before seemed to be rather chummy with each other. One could tell at a glance that they were wolves in sheep’s clothing in the corporate world.

Linda was walking beside me. She noticed that something was off and said, “Don’t be distracted. We are at work now. Everything else should be set aside.”

Armond nodded, and his gaze landed on me. With a vague smile, he answered, “Yes, she has just joined our company. She is quite capable.”

Ashton nodded and remarked thoughtfully, “No wonder you let her take over the Fuller Corporation project.”

I frowned. Why did he suddenly change the topic?
