Chapter 7 If You Can't Do It, I Can Help You

With his long legs crossed and a smile on his face, he leaned against the back of the sofa, and one hand on the armrest.

But this smile didn't look so friendly to Ashley.

She pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Mr. Lu, why do you come to our company so early? For the project?"

She knew it wouldn't be the project because there was someone in charge of this kind of thing. It wouldn't be discussed by the CEO in person, and it was still at this time.

"Miss Chu." He called her, stood up, and walked towards her.

"What does this man want to do? This is in the office. It's rush hour. He is afraid that others can't see and hear him?" she thought.

Her heart was pounding. Somehow, she thought of what had happened that night. She closed her eyes slightly and opened them again. He was already in front of her. She screamed and fell back, but was held by Lucas.

"Miss Chu, you are too enthusiastic."

"You."

Ashley pushed him away subconsciously and said, "Please behave yourself, Mr. Lu!"

With one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding her arm, he smiled.

"It has only been two days. Isn't it appropriate for Miss Chu to turn against me?"

He paused as if he was trying to persuade her to think about what happened that day. Ashley's face was burning. She tidied up her clothes and sat down at the desk.

She straightened her face and said, "Mr. Lu, you'd better do your business. We are in the company now."

Lucas chuckled and stopped teasing her. He sat down on the chair opposite her and asked, "So you mean that you can get rid of business without working in the company?"

He was a good man but had a mouth. He said it on purpose. And Ashley can't say even a word.

"What the hell are you doing? Didn't I explain clearly what happened that day? You."

"Yes, I've made it clear. I've given you seven days. It's been two days. When did you get a divorce? When will I be lucky enough to see your divorce agreement?"

With her eyes wide open, she wondered who was so shameless to come to the company just to tell her about it.

She rubbed between her eyebrows. What bad luck.

Last time, she just blurted out that they would get divorced. But seven days and she had to stay under the supervision of Lucas. It didn't sound right.

"Mr. Lu, do you have nothing to do? It's none of your business!"

Seeing the impatience on her face, Lucas thought she had changed her mind.

The early morning sunshine shone on her face gently, leaving her fine hair. Stunned, Lucas raised his hand slowly and raised it in the air. It fell on the project book on her table and gently tapped two times.

"You don't want to take the responsibility?"

"I."

"If you don't want to take the responsibility, I have many ways to make you take the responsibility. What do you think if I expose this thing between us two? At that time, you will be in a dilemma and have to divorce. As for me, I can also win a good name by the way. But you will be a little embarrassed."

After saying that, he looked at her sympathetically.

It was so early in the morning, but he made her very angry.

She gritted her teeth: "Today is only the third day. Why are you in such a hurry? Did I say that I'm not responsible for it? But Mr. Lu, are you sure you've made up your mind to come to the company early in the morning to chase after me? Don't tell me that you fall in love with me just because we slept once, or just think that you should be responsible for me just because you have slept once? If it's the former, we can talk it through, and then we will break up. If it's the latter, I hope you can think it over carefully, too, Marriage is a lifetime thing."

After saying the last sentence, Ashley felt a pang of pain in her heart. Marriage was a lifetime thing, and she had always thought so. When she knew and fell in love with Jake, she thought that she would be happy all her life. It didn't matter even if she didn't have a child, but things were always inconstant. Men's words couldn't be believed.

After thinking for a while, the quiet atmosphere filled the air. Ashley got nervous. She didn't like this kind of inexplicable feeling.

But in the end, he didn't give her an answer. He tapped his fingers on the table.

"Does it matter? If it weren't for me, would you have made up your mind to divorce Jake? To some extent, you should thank me."

Lucas raised his eyebrows slightly, which made Ashley absent-minded. She lowered her head in silence, feeling that this answer had given her enough dignity.

"Does it matter? Maybe it doesn't matter at all to me. Mr. Lu is the dream lover of so many people. Even if he jokingly proposed to marry a second married woman, it was a "gift", wasn't it?"

She suddenly felt relieved. There would be no worse situation than now. At least, she could stop the loss in time and stop losing.

"Mr. Lu, there is something wrong with your words. Even without you, I will get divorced."

"She said she would divorce. She didn't lie to me," he thought.

"Okay, I trust you. Seven days, five days left. I'll come to you five days later. If you can't divorce, I don't mind helping you. I have countless ways, as long as you can use them."

After saying that, he stood up and left. Ashley didn't even greet him and watched him leaving.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

After a while, there was a knock on the door again. Ashley straightened up and wondered if it was him again. She cleared her throat.

"Who?"

"Miss Chu, it's me, Vicky."

"Come in."

Vicky was another secretary of hers. She was mainly in charge of receiving and sending documents, but in fact, she was more capable than that. After Kate left, part of her work was transferred to her.

"Miss Chu, the secretaries you asked me to look for are all here. The ones that the headhunter company found and I paid attention to during the recruitment are all on the list. Please have a look."

Ashley nodded and took it over. It was obvious that these were the finished products sorted out by Vicky, and everyone's strengths and weaknesses were marked.

She suddenly put down the folder in her hand and smiled at her, "Vicky, how long have you been working on receiving and sending documents?"

"Three years, Miss Chu."

She hummed. Three years. She thought for a while.

"How about this? From now on, you can replace Kate and come to my side. You can find a person who you think can replace you in the list of these people."

"Okay." "Thank you for your trust, Miss Chu."

She liked this kind of person with an efficient character. If it was Kate, she would feel sick again.

"You can change your post after you hand over the work. If there is nothing else, you can go back to work."

"Yes, sir."

Vicky bent over a little and didn't take the folder with her because she knew all the documents.

"Wait!" Ashley stopped her again, licked her dry lips hesitantly, and asked, "What kind of person do you think Kate is?"
