Chapter 56 - 53 I Call The Shots

Before Nora had the time to say anything, Asher hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone, Nora shook her head somewhat helplessly.

She wondered what Asher wanted her to do again.

He seemed to be strange lately, always looking for her for something or other.

Nora took the elevator to the 18th floor and walked straight to Asher's president's office.

The door to the office was unlocked. Nora reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Asher's clear and cool voice came out.

Nora pushed the door in and saw Asher sitting in his office chair.

He had taken off his suit jacket and put it aside on the sofa and was wearing only a simple white shirt with two buttons casually unbuttoned on his chest, revealing the firm muscles of his chest, which, together with his handsome features, was simply the best on earth.

At the moment, Asher's eyes were fixed on the computer screen and one of his hands was tapping on the keyboard.

Nora had a little lapse of concentration. It was said that Asher was a workaholic, and it seemed that it was true.

He still came to work at the company instead of taking more time to rest even though his right hand was injured.

"Am I handsome?" Asher smiled slightly when he saw Nora staring at himself out of the corner of his eye and said with his clear voice.

Nora returned to the present moment and realized that she had just been staring at Asher. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed and coughed lightly, "What do you want to see me about?"

"Did you have a meeting with the French team this afternoon?" Asher stopped doing what he was doing and leaned back slightly, with his legs casually crossed. Such a simple action interpreted elegance and nobility to the fullest.

"Yes." Nora nodded, yet she was a bit puzzled by Asher's great concern for this project in her heart.

Was he planning to invest more in jewelry and expand the market in this area?

"What I want is specific details of the progress." Asher narrowed his eyes.

Nora patiently said, "The meeting today was mainly for both sides to discuss the next step of the opportunity. I'm compiling the minutes of the meeting and I'll report back to you when they're done. If there's nothing else, I'll go finish the meeting minutes first."

Seeing that Nora could not wait to leave, Asher's face turned sullen as he said, "Wait a minute."

"What else can I do for you?"

Asher raised his right hand, "Did you forget that? The doctor told me to change the fresh dressing for the wound 2 times a day."

Nora was confused, "So change it."

Asher said expressionlessly, "I can't do it."

"I can't"?

Nora was speechless and thought to herself, "What's wrong with this man? He can't even change the dressing?

She was about to say, "Learn to do it if you can't", when she saw Asher compress his lips and say, "Is this how you treat your rescuer?"

"Okay, okay. I will change it for you, okay?" When Asher brought up the subject about saving her life again, Nora glared at him in displeasure, "Where is the ointment?"

Asher pointed to the drawer, "Get it yourself."

Nora opened the drawer and took out the ointment, alcohol, and gauze. She squatted down and carefully applied the ointment on the back of Asher's hand.

Nora took the lid off the ointment, scooped some of it up with her fingers, and applied it evenly to the back of Asher's hand.

Her slender fingers gently rubbed the back of Asher's hand together with the coolness of the ointment, making Asher feel more comfortable than ever.

"You've studied medicine before?" Asher couldn't help but ask.

Nora was stunned.

"You are very skillful," Asher spoke in a deep voice as he looked at the woman in front of him from above.

Nora smiled, "I only know a little bit about it."

She just squatted in front of him, nicely helping him apply the ointment, and Asher had peace of mind for some reason.

"Nora," Asher suddenly spoke in a low and husky voice.

"What is it?" Nora raised her eyes to look at him, only to see a flash of fire in his deep eyes.

"Is it true that you..." Asher was about to ask, "Is it true that you don't like me?" When Nora's cell phone suddenly rang, which interrupted his words.

"Excuse me, I have to take a call." Nora took the phone out of her pocket and looked at the screen, which showed that it was Levi calling.

Seeing the name "Levi" flashing on the screen, Asher's face immediately turned sour.

Did Nora really have that kind of relationship with Levi?

Nora's hands were still covered with ointment, which made it inconvenient for her to answer the phone, so she put the phone on the table aside and pressed the speakerphone.

"Nora, are you busy?" Levi's voice came from the other end of the line.

Nora laughed and said, "I'm not busy. Do you need anything?"

Levi was upset and asked in an exaggerated manner, "Can I call you only if I need something?"

"Of course not. You're always welcome." Nora said with a smile while applying ointment to Asher.

Levi gave a light laugh, "So, are you available tonight?"

"Yeah. What's do you want to do?"

"Last time at my birthday party, you left early because you weren't feeling well and we didn't enjoy ourselves much. I got some time tonight, how about I treat you to dinner?" Levi warmly invited.

"OK, no problem."

Nora agreed without any hesitation but did not notice the face of the man in front of her growing more and more gloomy.

Asher had a taut expression on his face and his sexy thin lips compressed into a line, which showed that he was displeased.

Nora was actually flirting with another man in front of him?

Did she not like him because of Levi?

She seemed so reluctant towards him but smiled brightly at Levi?

Did Nora like the young handsome guys like Levi?

"It's a deal then, Nora. You are so sweet. Love you! I'll pick you up at 7 pm." Levi hung up the phone with a wide smile on his face.

Nora stood up so that she could put the phone away, but her feet went numb after squatting for a long time and she accidentally fell on Asher.

It was a coincidence that her hand happened to be propped up on Asher's wound.

Asher grunted lightly as the back of his hand hurt.

"Sorry, Asher, are you okay?" Nora was so embarrassed that she stood up in a hurry.

"Do you like Levi?" asked Asher, black in the face, without answering Nora's question.

Do you like Levi?

Nora was stunned for a moment.

She only considered Levi as a younger brother. Asher didn't misunderstand their relationship again, did he?

Well, even if he did, she didn't bother to explain.

"I guess." Nora replied lightly.

I guess?

So that meant that she liked him?

Asher's face became completely gloomy as he said in a cold voice, "Have you forgotten that this is a critical time for the 'Ice and Fire' project? Work overtime tonight and refine the plan."

"But I have things to do tonight." Nora frowned, "Besides, I think the plan is already perfect, and Bruce fully approves of it."

Asher stood up abruptly and looked at Nora from above, with coldness emanating from all around him, "I'm your boss and I call the shots!"
