Chapter 782 Surprise

Now that she had really thought about it, Alice was not surprised to see Ashley come to work that day. Alice always saw Ashley as someone who was really hardworking.

Meanwhile, at the Lu group headquarters, Andrew kept a straight face as he took an exclusive elevator to his floor. All the employees were shocked to see him.

Were they seeing things correctly?

Did their CEO really come to work at this hour?

Wasn't he supposed to be a workaholic? Andrew had never been that late to work before.

However, every employee knew to keep their thoughts to themselves.

Andrew soon reached his floor.

Johnny had a lot of things on his plate and Andrew's presence was a pleasant surprise. Johnny did not expect him to work that day.

For him, it was unusual for Andrew to come to work given that Ashley was back in town. Lately, he had been with Ashley at all times, leaving company matters in Johnny's hands.

Johnny was actually stunned when he saw Andrew.

"President Lu?"

Andrew looked at Johnny and replied, "Yes?" He was in a good mood today.

Johnny smiled and thought, 'Surely this is because of Mrs. Lu. He is like a totally different person whenever she is around.'

Johnny could guess that Andrew came to the Lu Group only because of Ashley who decided that go to work that day.

In N Country, Chloe was staying at home, bored out of her mind. She found that everything was much more boring without Ashley around.

Ashley was her best friend, and was among the very few friends she had in that place. Every time something wrong happened, Chloe would think of Ashley.

Now that Ashley had gone back to J City, she had nothing to think about except her writing load for the day. Beyond that, there was nothing else for her to do.

To Chloe, it was all Andrew's fault. It was unfair of him to take Ashley to J City.

Chloe was not in the mood to write anything. She sat in front of her computer and simply stared at her half-finished chapter.

Chloe realized that going out to eat should ease her mind a bit. Just as she was contemplating about whether to eat or not, h

nd working at a company?

'I can't take it, ' Chloe thought dearly.

'This is a trap.'

Seeing Chloe's reaction, Tony curled his lips and thought, 'Ashley is so prescient.'

"Ashley had already transferred the company to your name. So technically, this company is yours by now."

Before Chloe could speak, she was interrupted by Tony. He looked at her and said, "Miss Qiao, I have something important to tell you. Ashley put in her blood, sweat, and tears to build this company, and at the end of the day she still received harsh judgment and criticism.

The person responsible for slandering Ashley is still working in this company, so..."

Tony didn't finish his sentence, but he believed Chloe understood what he meant.

As expected, Chloe's eyes lit up as she looked at Tony. "You mean Ashley asked me to help her deal with that woman?"

Tony paused a moment and said, "Well, sort of. Ashley went back to J City after she bought this company. She said everything else is up to you."

Although Andrew had proposed to acquire the company, Ashley knew that her husband did not want her to run it.

The company originally belonged to Duncan. If Ashley were to run the company by herself, Andrew would surely be very insecure. Ashley had to look for a solution.

"Okay, I accept. Leave it to me," Chloe replied.

As she spoke, she picked up the documents Ashley had left for her.
