Chapter 870 Precious Herbs
I never thought Zero was so beautiful and that she was the famous Ashlyn on the internet!
He was suddenly at a loss for words. Ashlyn, on the contrary, generously stuck her hand out for a handshake.
Quiet Forest's heart skipped a beat, and he extended his hand to grab her soft one.
Who would have imagined that these pair of smooth hands could operate a computer with such finesse to solve
many big cases?
Their hands fell away, and Ashlyn introduced dispassionately, “This is Quiet Forest.”
“Hello, I own a modest security firm. I'm a minnow compared to the rest here.” He chuckled.
“Quiet Forest Security?” Harvey's brow rose. “Don't be coy. Your company supplies security systems to eighty
percent of Lake City's corporates, including several security firms. Despite my age, I'm still up to date with the
news, you know?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuiet Forest chuckled abashedly, feeling his cheeks growing warm like a timid scholar, unlike how the head of a
security firm would act.
“You're too kind, Old Mr. Laith. I'm just trying to make ends meet.” He quickly shook Harvey's hand before shaking
James'. “I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Field.”
“Not many can achieve what you did. Don't be too modest, Mr. Quiet Forest.” James had heard of him as well.
“Let's head in, shall we?” Ashlyn said to everyone.
The sound of brakes squealing sounded behind them, followed by the slam of a car door.
“Aren't you going to wait for me on your birthday, Honey?” a magnetic voice said from behind Ashlyn.
Her head whipped around as her heart lurched. She saw a lanky man standing in front of a car and looking at her
from a distance.
Sunlight burnished the handsome strength of Lucas' face. He squinted his eyes from the glare, and when he
opened them, his onyx gaze held everyone captive.
It was as if God had sculpted his chiseled features, and no flaws could be found.
Standing well over six feet, he dwarfed everyone. He wore a suit tailored to his measurements and tapered to his
long legs.
At that moment, he strode toward Ashlyn.
She snapped out of her reverie and regarded him in surprise. “Why did you come?”
Lucas stopped in front of her and looked down at her with a hooded gaze. “Of course I would spend your birthday
with you.”
As they locked gazes, Ashlyn's heart skipped a beat.
His eyes were smoldering, sending hot tingles down her spine.
A ripple stirred the throng of reporters, and the tension in the air heightened.
“Lucas is here.”
“He looks normal!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah, he doesn't seem neurotic!”
“Quiet Forest Security is the best! They safeguard all our websites.”
“Wow! Ashlyn invited many of Lake City's bigshots. This is too amazing!”
“There's Mr. Field... Did I see the principal of T University as well?”
“Am I seeing things? The principal is here?”
The principal and dean got out of the car and headed toward Ashlyn. “Dr. Berry, why didn't you tell us about your
birthday banquet? I instantly came after seeing the news on Twitter,” Principal Potter uttered with a smile.
“Happy birthday, Dr. Berry. This is a classic publication from T University's collection about precious herbs.”
Everyone gasped.
They gifted Ashlyn a volume from T University's library? And a rare one that's coveted by many people?
“Thank you so much.” Ashlyn was caught off guard that the two men would make an appearance.
“It's nothing.” Principal Potter smiled.
A reporter called out, “Take pictures!”
Cameras flashed at Ashlyn in a barrage of white light.
