Chapter 642 More And More Indifferent

However, he didn't expect this kind of response from his father.

"You want to know, why? Because everyone has to start from the bottom! If you want everyone in the company to respect and obey you, then you have to start at the bottom. Or I could give you a project, get it signed and show your competence."

After comparing the two options, Duncan subconsciously chose the latter.

Duncan thought it was better to start with a project of his own than start at the bottom as a grassroots employee. His time was limited.

"I'd like to be assigned a project," Duncan seized the chance.

Hanley liked Duncan's choice and nodded with satisfaction. He was getting quite impressed with his son now.

"Well, it's already late. You should go to bed early," Carrie said.

Then Hanley left the living room with Duncan's mother.

Haley and Duncan were left looking at each other.

After a long while, Haley finally spoke with a surprised and uncertain tone, "Duncan, are you really going to go work?"

"Yes."

"Duncan, you are just starting to enjoy your life now. Why would you suddenly think of going to work? What happened to you?" Haley could not make heads nor tails of it.

He couldn't understand why Duncan would compromise like this, and so soon.

Duncan licked his lips, with a downcast look on his face. He did not answer Haley's question and just went upstairs to his room.

Watching his retreating back, Haley felt embarrassed and ignored. He got up to go home.

He was still doubtful of Duncan's decision.

'Why did he suddenly change like this?' It was a riddle that Haley couldn't solve.

The next day, Duncan went with his father to the company, keeping his word. As expected, his father also kept his end of the deal and gave him a project to work on.

Not surprisingly, Collin was reassigned to Duncan as his assistant again.

Scanning through the proposal in his hand, Duncan turned around and left the office.

Duncan had once worked in the company before. Yet it didn't take much time before he got fed up and quit.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening.

At Harki

It was time to prepare dinner.

Unexpectedly, Richard took the stone out and put it on Ashley's lap. Then grabbing the stone he waved it with great intent in front of Ashley.

His happiness seemed to know no bounds.

Ashley watched him quietly.

There was no way he could irritate her.

Ashley sighed and wondered if she had completely lost her mind.

First of all, she insisted on adopting this child out of mercy. Earlier today, she took him with her as she went to the vegetable market. It didn't feel right to leave Richard at home alone.

For no reason, as soon as they bought the food and was about to return, Richard led Ashley to a fair that she had never seen before. It was a magical place that was quite different from all the other fairs that she had ever visited before.

There were a lot of beautiful stones being sold there, stones that weren't sold anywhere else.

Then Richard had led her to a stall, pointing to a stone. He had been completely fixated on that stone. Ashley wondered why he liked that particular stone so much.

It was just a stone, but she agreed to buy it for Richard.

Ashley didn't think much of it at the time. It was just an ordinary stone, only slightly bigger than the other stones around it.

Ashley had asked the price and was about to buy it for Richard.
