Ashley Miller, who came to work at the usual time, was seen heading straight to his office, and his secretary quickly went inside. Watching him come to work every morning with an espresso coffee with four shots, some employees, including the secretary, whispered, “That’s why he has such a bad temper.” Today, Ashley Miller, who threw the empty paper cup into the trash can, was looking through the documents on his desk to check his to-do list, and the secretary cleared his throat to attract attention.
“I will report today’s schedule.”
Ashley didn’t say a word while the secretary was speaking. He seemed to be casually flipping through the trial-related documents on his desk, but he stopped when the secretary finished speaking.
“Is there a team available now?”
“Yes? Ah, yes.”
At the sudden question, the secretary quickly searched his mind and answered.
“The Simpson Motors trial ended last week. All the team members went on vacation, but they are all scheduled to return tomorrow.”
“Good.”
Ashley nodded briefly and opened his mouth.
“As soon as the team is complete, prepare for the trial. I’m going to sue.”
The secretary paused, but soon waited for the next words with a blank face. But the following words momentarily shook her.
“My fiancé has been insulted.”
In the event of a conflict between residents, a decision is made after collecting opinions through a general meeting and receiving an apology or taking sanctions. But Ashley Miller was not so democratic.
“Sue all the condo residents for violating the Anti-Discrimination Law.”
“All of them?”
“All of them.”
Ashley confirmed the question asked with doubt. His purple eyes darkened.
“I need to let them know who they messed with.”
The secretary hesitated for a moment and then carefully raised an objection.
“You will be ostracized from society.”
Ashley smiled for the first time. But all he did was twist the corners of his mouth.
“Do you think I care about that?”
“……No.”
The secretary looked away and said with an ambiguous smile.
“Still, making so many enemies at once is a bit… I was wondering if you might regret it later.”
“But when something difficult happens, I’ll be the first one they come to.”
Ashley asked with a sneer.
“Do you know what the most feared thing for the rich is?”
As the secretary looked at him with inner tension, Ashley lightly spread his hands and gave the answer.
“It’s losing money.”
What the hell is this crazy bastard doing again?
Ariel frowned as she checked the message on her phone. The message was from a close fellow reporter, and it was information that Ashley Miller was preparing a trial against the residents of the condo where he lived. It hasn’t been published yet, but the source was reliable. Ariel simply replied to her colleague, who was wondering what was going on, that she was grateful for letting her know.
The reason for holding such a sudden trial is…….
“I’m sorry I’m late!”
Ariel smiled as she looked up at her friend who rushed in, gasping for breath.
It must be something related to this guy.
“Welcome, Koi.”
The two, sitting face to face at an outdoor table in the cafe, began to talk as usual.
“Did you wait long? Sorry, I tried to come quickly.”
Ariel shook her head at Koi, who was quickly checking the time.
“No, I came early because I had time left. I had to check the articles, so it’s okay.”
After simply ordering drinks from the approaching staff, Ariel continued.
“Nothing special happened? How have you been?”
“Oh, I was fine. How about you?”
After exchanging everyday greetings, Ariel subtly brought up the main point.
“Is there any big problem with the house you live in now?”
“Huh? Uh…….”
As expected, Koi couldn’t answer right away and hesitated. Ariel soon understood the situation from the words that followed with hesitation.
Of course, as a friend, Ariel couldn’t tolerate Koi being treated like that. But suing all the residents, no one but Ashley Miller would do such a thing.
He’s really crazy about Koi.
Ariel, who was inwardly impressed, soon changed her mind when she saw her friend’s dejected face.
How fortunate it is that a mad dog is on my friend’s side.
She patted herself on the back and, on the other hand, patted Koi’s arm.
“It’s okay, don’t worry about it. Ash said it’s okay, right? Then that’s all that matters. More than that, did you set aside time properly today?”
When she quickly changed the subject, Koi nodded.
“Yeah, I’m going to meet Sarah.”
“That’s right.”
She continued with a satisfied expression.
“Sarah also wants to meet you as a friend, so you can feel comfortable seeing her. She said that it’s rare to find someone who communicates so well like you, and she definitely wants to meet you again.”
“Uh… I’m happy too, really.”
Koi blushed and scratched his head. In fact, he couldn’t sleep the night before because he was so excited. What news will Sarah tell me today? The story I heard last time was also exciting.
“Going to space is really amazing.”
Ha, as Koi sighed and muttered to himself, Ariel said nonchalantly.
“These days, anyone can go if they have money, right? Why don’t you tell Ash? That you want to go too.”
At the unexpected words, Koi was horrified and shook his head.
“How can I say that… It costs a lot of money to go to space.”
“Is Ash going to go bankrupt?”
Ariel frowned noticeably. Koi was startled and said, “That’s not it,” with an embarrassed expression.
“It’s a bit much to ask for that much money… Marriage is an event for the two of us, but space is not.”
Huh?
Ariel paused at the unexpected words. Could it be that Koi is thinking of going to space alone?
Koi continued to speak in a sighing voice.
“To collect that money, I’d have to repair a hundred houses, no, a thousand houses. It still won’t be enough, probably…….”
Hoo, Ariel opened her mouth after a pause at his sighing appearance again.
“Koi, aren’t you thinking of going to space with Ash?”
“What? With Ash?”
Koi’s eyes widened and he immediately denied it.
“How can I do that, Ash is busy.”
Still, he would be happy if I asked him to go together.
If it were Ashley, he would quit the law firm and try to get on a spaceship with Koi. Perhaps Koi knows that and is trying not to say it? Ariel suddenly remembered, but soon dismissed the thought when she saw Koi’s face looking at her.
He’s not the type to think that far.
Hmm, Ariel was lost in thought for a moment. What should I do? I feel like I just want to pretend I don’t know, but she even gave the sisters a private plane this time, and this time he was quite generous.
After thinking for a while while drinking coffee, she soon came to a conclusion. If he’s a crazy bastard who’s so into my friend that he doesn’t care about anything, that’s not bad either. Besides, he treats Koi very well. When I think about it that way, there’s no reason to hate him.
“Hey, Koi.”
Ariel smiled and started.
“Why don’t you tell Ash? To go to space together. Then that’s not just your event, is it?”
“That’s true, but Ash is very busy trying to leave work on time…….”
Sometimes he comes in at dawn, and I feel so sorry for him every time. Ariel said, seeing Koi sighing.
“It’s good to be considerate, but anyway, that’s something Ash has to decide, right? You have to talk about it.”
Koi’s heart was also shaken by the kind suggestion. In fact, Koi would be even happier if he went to space with Ashley.
“If he’s too busy, he’ll say he can’t, Ash will.”
“That’s right, that’s it.”
Ariel immediately reacted to Koi’s words, which he muttered to himself. Koi blushed and smiled awkwardly.
“Thank you, then I’ll talk to him.”
“Yes, you thought well.”
Ariel felt like she had finished a big task and relaxed her shoulders. Good things are good. After all, they’re going to get married and have children.
Of course, if Ariel had known about the various perverted things Ashley was asking of Koi, she probably would never have told him this fact, but unfortunately, she didn’t know.
“Ah, Al! Koi!”
Sarah appeared just in time and joined them. And they had a pleasant chat for over 2 hours, eating and drinking tea.
