119 You Older People Could Just Watch Over Them

"So will you accept it or not?" Ashton asked.

"Is this really not a dream?" Brian returned it with a question himself.

He just felt like this was too good to be true, he was just complimenting the company a few days ago. But now he was being offered an employment?

What's more it was of the general manager position, anyone would think that this was a dream.

"Just tell me if you don't want, I can look for someone else," Ashton was not patient when it comes to this people.

"Hey, hey, wait, wait, who said I don't want it?" Brian instantly became flustered.

On the other hand, Ashton didn't reply and waited for his next words.

"Wh- When can I have the interview?" for the first time in his life, Brian Cooper was actually flustered.

"Why don't you separate yourself from your company first? Then you can call me again."

Brian slapped his own forehead, he had completely forgotten that he was actually still under the Cooper Empire, his excitement got the best of him.

"Okay, okay, you have to wait for me. Promise me that you will wait for me okay?"

"Get it done already."

After that, Ashton hanged up and walked to Amber's room, she was already in a lying position but she was awake.

"How did it go?" she asked upon seeing him enter.

"He will be finalizing his resignation in their company, then you can speak with him regarding his employment," he replied.

"Okay," was her reply.

"Don't worry he may not look like it but he was actually a competent business man, though it only really shines when it comes to gaming," seeing her indifferent look, Ashton added.

"I trust your judgement, I know you wouldn't befriend some kind of lazy bums," she answered back.

It was really not a loss to her if they were able to rope Brian Cooper in.

In contrast it was to their advantage instead and that advantage was a great one. The reason that she was indifferent was because she already considers him employed.

Despite the fact that he was still not resigned from their company.

"Say, you already have a hold to Cooper Empire, you already started the Hughes Empire, what are you planning for the Carter Empire?" Ashton sat down on the chair beside her bed as he asked.

Amber smiled at him, "You'll know when the time comes, about my plans on that empire."

"No," he replied with a raised eyebrow and an amused look.

"I think that you already started your plans regarding them," after some thought he continued more.

"I have also heard that Blizzard Hotel was still expanding outside of Star Country," upon saying this he squinted his eyes at her.

Amber looked away from him and if she could just move, she would have turned her back on him.

Ashton chuckled, "Still trying to take a foothold in Wright Empire aren't you?"

"But still half of our business are about Hotels," he once again said.

"Well..."

She trailed off, indeed she was still expanding their power on hotels, not entirely to take a hold of Wright Empire but to at the very least have a foot on it.

Currently it was Elloise doing some of the handling despite being outside of Star Country.

"Well?"

Amber glared at him, "Do you really have to ask, when I started this project of expanding outside Star Country, I still haven't met you again. I didn't know about those change inside you."

"Didn't I give you a farewell gift before we left?" Ashton still asked.

Amber glared at him, "If I can just move I really want to hit you. You just told me you can't kiss me deeper for being underage and too young. What do you expect me to do about that?"

Ashton was first stunned before he suddenly broke into laughter.

"Hey what are you laughing at?" she asked in anger.

Ashton shook his head, "You don't know the changes inside of me but you remembered clearly what I told you back then?"

Amber's eyes grew wide as her face turned completely red.

'Damn, this side effect I can't even hide my face,' she thought as she could only close her eyes in order not to see him.

Seeing her flustered look Ashton chuckled before standing up and planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Rest now, I know you are very sleepy right now."

Her eyes snapped open upon feeling the soft sensation.

"Did you-"

'Did he just brought it up to stir my feelings?'

She didn't ask out loud but seeing the smirk on his face, she knew he indeed brought everything up to stir her feelings.

She could only grit her teeth as she still couldn't move.

*****

"The news runs so fast," Amber said in an amused manner as she speak to the phone, it was the green one.

It was already late afternoon on the next day and Leslie was already settled on her new apartment, they have decided to meet at the building entrance tomorrow morning.

"News? How do you explain fast when he was my grandson?" Luis Cooper asked trying his best to calm down.

It was early this morning that his grandson Brian Cooper suddenly came barging in his office to tell him that he resigns, upon further pressure, he finally said that he was going to work at SNN.

"Grandson? Why don't you just focus on your next in line? You barely even look at your other grandchildren, why the sudden interest on him now?" Amber replied with sarcasm in her voice.

"What are you planning?" he squinted his eyes as he asked in a serious tone.

"I am not planning anything, I just offered and he accepted. This is his life not mine, so the decision still lies on him."

"The-"

"But it also does not lie on you, your blood may run in his veins but that doesn't mean you can direct his life. He can choose the path that he wants and you older people could just watch over them," she stopped him from talking.

Luis Cooper was lost for words as these words were suddenly thrown at him.

"You dare insult me?"

"Insult you? In what way am I insulting you mister Luis Cooper? By calling you old? Oh please you are old enough," she replied with the same indifference as she had always used on him.

"Brian is my grandson!!"

"And I am not saying that he was not," Amber replied.

"Why are you taking him?"

"Come on sir, if we are just going in circles around here, shall we end this call already?"

She even yawned as if asking for a beating from an already enraged old man.

"You damn one, I dare you to show your face and say all this stuff right in front of me?!?"

Getting tired of this, Amber finally said, "15 percent."

This was the share she was holding, it was already among the highest major shareholders outside of the Cooper family.

"Are you threatening me now?" Luis once again squinted his eyes.

"I am not threatening you, I just want you to remember that I already have so much hold, why must I still plan something against you?"

For the second time, Luis Cooper was rendered speechless.

"You see, the reason why SNN invite people is because they are looking for talents and Brian Cooper is a good one as well."

It was never said who this person was to SNN but all those collaborations tells him that she was among those behind this booming company.

"Can I trust you with that?"

"Please, I don't have any plans on going up to so many people at once. So just relax for he was really invited because of his talent."

Luis Cooper massaged his temple.

He knew that this grandson has indeed a talent in gaming, it's just their company really was not focused on it.

"I understand, I shall leave him in your hands."

Amber couldn't help but to raise an eyebrow as she didn't expect for him to say such words.

"Please don't worry, he will surely be treated nicely."

After that both bid each other goodbye.

Ashton placed a cup of coffee in front of her as he sat down beside her, on a single couch sat another person who was staring at her in complete shock.

"You are invited but seriously can't you do it properly? You're giving me more headaches. Ash why is it that your group of friends have this tendency of being rush?"

After saying the first sentence, she looked at Ashton with a complaining tone.

Ashton shrugged without giving a reply.

"You... you.... you...."

"What about me?" she asked again upon hearing the other person finally speak.

His eyes was still wide as he was pointing at her before he slowly looked at Ashton who was also leisurely drinking his own coffee.

"Bro? Who is this person?" Brian finally found the question that flew away the moment Amber spoke to his grandfather.
