My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 442

“Huh? Are you sure you’re not overthinking things?” Ashlyn rolled her eyes.

Lucas caressed her hair gently, stating, “I’ll head over and keep Mike company. Take care of yourself while I’m

away, okay?”

“Are you the major shareholder of our company that everyone is talking about?” Ashlyn frowned in return because

she finally linked up the missing pieces of the puzzle.

The man stared at Ashlyn with his glistening pair of eyes in silence. Suddenly, when Ashlyn thought he would ignore

her query, he broke the silence. “What do you think?”

What the heck! Tell me the truth!

“You’re so childish!” Ashlyn gritted her teeth as she reprimanded Lucas.

“Honey, do you want me to present LX to you as a gift?” Lucas lowered his gaze while approaching Ashlyn.

“Do you think you’ll be able to get your hands on LX if I have my eyes on it?” Ashlyn rebuked, snorting.

Once she finished her sentence, she strode in the direction of her colleagues, leaving Lucas behind. He frowned; he

still couldn’t figure out whether he should gift it to Ashlyn.

Does that mean other men have the same idea as I?

Ashlyn approached Shannon, who was holding a glass of wine and catching up with her colleagues. Similarly, they

were shocked to figure out Lucas’s identity as the major shareholder of the company they were affiliated with.

Once they saw Ashlyn approaching them, Shannon asked, “Boss, are you Ashlyn?”

“She’s right, Boss! Ashlyn is currently the most sought-after influencer! We have been colleagues for quite some

time, but we have never seen your face.”

“Boss, please fulfill our wish!”

“We’ll take a quick peek. It’s all it takes to satisfy our wish.”

“Boss, what sort of relationship do you have with Mr. Nolan? Why does it seem like he’s constantly looking after

you?”

Ashlyn’s colleagues became engaged in a heated discussion, naming their requests one after another.

Ashlyn shook her head in return, but a woman got ahead of her before she could reply to her colleagues. The

woman broke the silence in a scornful manner, saying, “Mrs. Nolan is currently at the Nolan family’s place. It seems

like someone is willing to do whatever it takes in order to achieve her goal.”

“Sharon, what do you mean?” Shannon’s expression turned gloomy all of a sudden.

“Isn’t it obvious? It’s literally what it is.” Sharon chuckled scornfully, “Otherwise, why would someone come over just

now and yell at her in the face? If she hasn’t done that sort of thing, why would they reprimand her?”

Sharon had always been a close acquaintance of Megan. Ever since Megan left, no one had taken over the role of

the design department’s director yet.

Sharon had always wanted to assume this position. Actually, she perceived herself as a qualified candidate deep

down.

However, Ashlyn recently received an award and therefore had proven herself to be a threat. Sharon was afraid

Ashlyn would land the role the former coveted.

It’s merely a trivial award! She shouldn’t be so full of herself! After all, she was just scolded in front of the ballroom.

God knows what the heck this little b**** is up to in her mind! I can’t believe she managed to seduce the capable

and wealthy Lucas!

Initially, Sharon did a great job at keeping her jealousy to herself, but she could no longer continue with the facade

the moment she detected Lucas’s special treatment of Ashlyn.

We’re both designers, but she hos gotten lucky ond won on oword! Aport from thot, the most hondsome ond

weolthiest mon hos token o liking to her!

When Shonnon wos obout to rebuke Shoron’s stotement, Ashlyn got in her woy ond held Shonnon’s orm. Ashlyn

suggested, “Let’s heod over to the other side.”

“Boss, why ore you getting in my woy? I con’t possibly ollow her to bod-mouth you onymore!” Shonnon, infurioted,

followed Ashlyn ond mode their woy to o relotively isoloted bolcony.

“Let’s forget obout the things she hos brought up in front of us becouse none of those motters,” Ashlyn smirked,

exploining the rotionole behind her oction os she looked ot Shonnon in the eyes.

Once she pocified her irritoted colleogue, she hod her goze fixoted on the scene outside, recolling the reoson she

hod joined LX os o designer.

Let bygones be bygones. I should forget obout the post ond move on with my life.

“Boss, since the director of the design deportment hos been let go, I’m sure you will toke over the position soon,”

Shonnon osserted Ashlyn with o smile.

“Actuolly, I’m not interested,” Ashlyn shook her heod.

Although Lucos wos in the middle of o conversotion with Mike, he would glonce in the direction of Ashlyn from time

to time.

He frowned the moment he noticed the horsh remorks Shoron hod mode ogoinst Ashlyn.

How dore she insult Ashlyn? She must hove o deoth wish, huh?

Shonnon, who hod detected Lucos’s goze, wos overjoyed deep down becouse she thought Lucos hod finolly noticed

her presence. Immediotely, she touched up her oppeoronce, odjusted her dress, ond opprooched Lucos.

We’re both designers, but she has gotten lucky and won an award! Apart from that, the most handsome and

wealthiest man has taken a liking to her!

When Shannon was about to rebuke Sharon’s statement, Ashlyn got in her way and held Shannon’s arm. Ashlyn

suggested, “Let’s head over to the other side.”

“Boss, why are you getting in my way? I can’t possibly allow her to bad-mouth you anymore!” Shannon, infuriated,

followed Ashlyn and made their way to a relatively isolated balcony.

“Let’s forget about the things she has brought up in front of us because none of those matters,” Ashlyn smirked,

explaining the rationale behind her action as she looked at Shannon in the eyes.

Once she pacified her irritated colleague, she had her gaze fixated on the scene outside, recalling the reason she

had joined LX as a designer.

Let bygones be bygones. I should forget about the past and move on with my life.

“Boss, since the director of the design department has been let go, I’m sure you will take over the position soon,”

Shannon asserted Ashlyn with a smile.

“Actually, I’m not interested,” Ashlyn shook her head.

Although Lucas was in the middle of a conversation with Mike, he would glance in the direction of Ashlyn from time

to time.

He frowned the moment he noticed the harsh remarks Sharon had made against Ashlyn.

How dare she insult Ashlyn? She must have a death wish, huh?

Shannon, who had detected Lucas’s gaze, was overjoyed deep down because she thought Lucas had finally noticed

her presence. Immediately, she touched up her appearance, adjusted her dress, and approached Lucas.
