Chapter 12 The Yates Group's Order
Ethan was about to leave when Pauline jumped up to stop him. "Mr. Yates, hold on. No matter who you meet with, it's Elisa who'll be working with you. Your time is valuable, so why not finalize the contract now?"
Ethan paused, turned, and shot her a cold look. "I won't repeat myself."
With that, he walked out, leaving Pauline flustered.
"Why is he so overbearing?" Pauline muttered, wiping her tears as she called Ashley. "Ashley, how's it going on your end?"
Ashley answered, "I'm at the police station investigating. What's up?"
"The president of the Yates Group is acting like a king. He insists on meeting you in person."
"Considering it's a multi-billion-dollar deal, it's understandable he's cautious. Set up another meeting. I'll come over as soon as I'm done here."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Pauline scheduled a meeting for 3 p.m.
Meanwhile, A passerby had called the police for Ashley. After investigating, it turned out the woman had caused a scene on purpose and got reprimanded.
Ashley thanked the man who called the police. "Thanks."
"No problem."
The man was handsome and refined. They exchanged smiles, and he asked, "Do you live in the villa area too?"
"Hmm?"
"I live there as well. Can we add each other on Facebook? We can look out for each other."
"Sure."
They added each other on Facebook, and his name showed as [Alex Hill].
Ashley excused herself, saying she had something to do. She left the police station and headed to the Yates Group for the 3 PM meeting.
By the time she got near the Yates Group, it was already lunchtime.
Ashley found a restaurant and ordered lunch.
At the next table, two girls were chatting.
"The food here is so expensive. One meal costs my entire month's salary!"
"No pain, no gain. I've done my research. The president of the Yates Group eats here every day. If we run into him and he likes us, we'll be set for life. We can order whatever we want."
Hearing this, Ashley remembered what her friend had said.
'There is a really powerful Old Money tycoon in Aurora, good-looking and loaded, what was his name again...'
Could the president of the Yates Group be the same guy her friend Sienna mentioned?
How interesting, there gilrs were deliberately creating chance encounters.
Ashley noticed the two girls glaring at her.
One of them said, "You're not here to meet Mr. Yates too, are you? I'm warning you, don't compete with us!"
Ashley scoffed, "Ridiculous!"
"What's with the attitude? Every girl here is trying to meet Mr. Yates."
The place was filled with young, beautiful girls, all trying to get close to Ethan.
Ashley couldn't be bothered and called the waiter, "I'd like a private room, please."
"Certainly, miss. This way."
Just then, someone shouted.
"Mr. Yates' car is here."
"Mr. Yates is getting out."
"This is our chance!"
All the girls in the hall went wild.
Ashley rolled her eyes and hurried to the private room. Just as she entered, two figures walked into the restaurant.
The girls rushed over like a storm, either striking poses or pretending to faint in front of Ethan.
Ethan remained indifferent, looking at them like they were a bunch of germs, avoiding them at all costs.
His assistant, Diannel, skillfully blocked the gold-diggers.
Ethan also skillfully dodged the crowd and went straight into a private room...
