EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 38

Austin looked at Suny and Ashley as the two walked in from outside the office, and the first thing that came to mind was what Ashley had said in his live interview this morning.

"Then, Mr. Lloyd, what do you think of Miss Holland?"

"She's very good, I admire her, she's the best among so many women I've met."

After Future Technology went public last week, Ashley, the future newcomer, had been raked over the coals.

It was said that after all these years, he didn't even have a woman by his side.

Yet just yesterday, Ashley had just returned from X City, and Suny had met him for dinner.

Austin was a man himself, and he knew very well that if a man had an appreciation for a woman, then he would definitely have a liking for her.

This time, he didn't even need to show up for the collaboration, but in the morning he asked Ivan to put off the meeting for him and came over in person.

Perhaps before he came, he wasn't sure exactly why he had come, but now that he saw both Suny and Ashley appearing together in front of him, Austin suddenly understood.

He seemed unable to accept that his ex-wife had started another relationship so soon after she divorced him, could it be that Suny's so-called love for him was only that short-lived?

Austin suddenly felt unhappy and resentful, and his face became colder and colder, even when Ashley had already arrived to greet him, he acted as if he hadn't seen him, only staring at Suny with a deadly stare.

She was very gentle today, reminding him of those days when she was at the Johnson’s.

Yet it was different from her old days. Suny who was so low-browed and submissive had suddenly grown thorns, like a tricky rose.

On the side, Ivan stiffly kicked Austin's foot, Austin glanced at Ivan with a bad face before moving his eyes to Ashley: "Mr. Lloyd, we are talking about business matters, I'm afraid it's not very good to have outsiders present, right?"

Who this outsider was referring to, everyone present knew it by heart.

Suny faintly raised her eyebrows and was just about to speak, but Ashley suddenly inclined his head to look at her and opened his mouth first: "How about you stroll around first?"

Ashley was deliberate, Suny felt a headache, but she could only nod with a smile, "Okay."

She really hadn't come to stroll around the company for a while, so today she would just consider it a routine inspection.

The founders of Future Technology all knew that Suny was the majority shareholder, and they also knew that Suny did not like to be public.

After responding, Suny turned around and left, intending to go to the R&D department for a look.

The R&D department of Future Technology was the core department, and the people were the same classmates who had worked with Ashley until now, and Suny knew all of them.

After Suny left the office, she ordered some desserts to be sent over to the R&D department before she went over.

As he watched Suny and Ashley get along well, the hostility under Austin's eyes became heavier and heavier.

Ashley withdrew his eyes and glanced at Austin: "Mr. Johnson, this is the introduction of our two newly developed intelligent robots, do you need to take a look?"

Austin pressed his thoughts and looked at Ashley who was following him, "No need, Mr. Lloyd, let's get straight to the point."

The whole negotiation lasted a total of forty-five minutes and went smoothly, but Austin had a cold face from start to finish.

Ivan, as his secretary, was very embarrassed at the side.

Ashley was notoriously cold and indifferent in the business world, but he was very polite in his treatment of others, but always kept his distance, making it impossible for people to approach him.

When Austin's performance today was compared with Ashley's, Ivan felt that his boss was not very good.

The negotiations were over and the contract was signed on the spot.

Ashley politely offered to dine together at noon, but Austin refused with a cold face.

He was not in that mood to dine with his ex-wife's boyfriend.

Ivan awkwardly said a few words, and once he turned around, he found that Austin had already walked away.

He hurriedly chased after him and walked in before the lift closed its doors.

Ivan looked at Austin's morosely cold face and finally did not dare to ask the words out.

Austin had suddenly come over to Ashley personally on short notice to negotiate, and Ivan was sure it was for the sake of Suny!

"Is Ashley very good?"

As Ivan was thinking about all the gossip about Suny and Ashley in the past two days, he heard Austin ask.

He was stunned for a moment and looked up at Austin, his eyes fell on his stiff and cold face, Ivan pursed his lips: "Mr. Lloyd is considered talented, but of course, he is not comparable to you."

Austin snorted: "Ear banger."

Ivan: "......"

Although it was a bit flattering, it was also true.

Ashley was very good, but Austin was good too.

Everyone said that Austin was born with a silver spoon.

Bullshit!

Was Austin the only one who was born with a silver spoon?

But how many people had been able to grow their family business like Austin?

KLOC was founded by Austin’s father, but nowadays, the world was changing rapidly, and many leading industries had gone bankrupt and decayed, but KLOC was still strong, and it was Austin’s credit to maintain its foundation.

Of course, Ivan could understand what Austin was thinking nowadays, so although he was aggrieved, he didn't defend himself.

Ivan was silent again, and Austin was disgusted: "Why aren't you talking? Didn't you used to have a lot to say?"

Ivan shivered: "...... Mr. Johnson, in fact, the sentence I just said was genuine."

Austin gave a cold smile, "Then do you think Suny is a better match for me or for Ashley?"

Ivan was inwardly broken, Austin's gaze was like a torch, and his sight pressed him so hard he could barely breathe.

Just as he was about to speak against his conscience, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It was Suny!

As if he had found help, Ivan hurriedly pointed to the left of the lift, "Mr. Johnson, it's Miss Holland!"

Austin frowned, "Do you like her a lot? Why are you so excited?"

"......"

He was even wrong in breathing?

He gave a cold glance at Ivan before Austin raised his eyes and looked over to his left, and not surprisingly, he saw a man in white.

He pursed his lips for a moment and quickly followed over.

Suny had just walked to the car when she saw Austin walking over from the rear view mirror.

She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, pulling open the car door and not rushing in, but with one hand on the door, watching Austin walk towards her.

She was dressed casually today, with a white stand-up collar jumper on top, a pair of jeans on the bottom, a pair of black leather boots under her feet, her legs straight and slender, and she was leaning against the red Ferrari car, like a car model.

Her charming eyes had smile on them, and she was looking straight at him.

Austin felt as if his heart trembled, and the next second he stopped in front of Suny: "Are you so eager to find the next one after the divorce?"
