Chapter 737: Side Story 5: Neo’s Girlfriend (?) (4)

(Special mention for web novel [without space between the two words] reader aistitch)

…

After that day, Neo was busy with work every single day and completely forgot about his meeting with that high school girl. There were so many works in Ryukalin Clan to the point that Neo nearly forgot about Kale Company, the company that Kevin owned.

"Boss, there's going to be an upcoming party," Neo informed Kevin when he noticed that there was an invitation for the CEO of Kale Company to attend a party. It was a party that included several other businessmen from overseas in order to participate in some projects.

Kevin frowned. "I'm not interested."

"Forget it, he's more preoccupied with his wedding." Lou nudged from the back. Kevin might be only 19 years old, but he was already impatient to have the wedding ceremony with his soon to be wife.

Neo groaned. "He's not even doing anything!"

"Patrick and the others are the one who take care of the matter."

At that reply, Neo chose to give up asking Kevin to attend the party anymore. He knew that the blockhead wouldn't even care so much about the company and parties like that. It was not necessary for him to attend parties too, but if he wanted to expand his connection, it would be better for him to join.

"Should I be the one to participate then?" Neo asked.

"If you want to, sure."

"Alright."

Afterwards, Neo pressured Mike to tag along to the party with an excuse that he needed to have someone to accompany him. It wouldn't do good for the image of Kale Company to only send one representative.

"Why don't you search for a girlfriend to attend the party?" Mike asked.

Neo's face darkened. "If I have one, I would surely invite her and not a brute like you!"

Lou shook his head when he heard the two of them quarreled. The city was developing progressively, but the two of them still didn't want to leave the clan. Well, Mike was not the type of person who would care about those meetings, though.

"Just go by yourself, Neo. I'm sure that you know what you need to do to ensure Kale Company won't suffer any loss."

"Fine."

In the end, Neo did go by himself and was busy talking with some businessmen there. There were only a few people whom he targeted because the others were not related to the business Kale Company developed. In addition, there were several overseas businessmen whom he met on the way.

Neo sighed after he had finished talking with several businessmen. He took out his phone and arranged with Lou for their visit to Kale Company after this party.

At Ryukalin Clan, Lou nearly vomited blood when he saw the schedule that Neo prepared for him. There were too many! Just how many businessmen Neo approached in that party to have a talk with?

However, Neo didn't care about what Lou thought at the moment. He was tired, so he walked to the side and picked a glass of water. There was also wine, but he knew that Kevin would ask him to work again, so getting drunk was a big no.

Splash!

Hearing the splashing sound, Neo turned his head to the side. He could see Ashley stood wearing a long pale pink dress. There was another woman near her, who was looking at her with her glass tilted. From the pool on the ground, Neo could guess that the woman must have poured the wine toward Ashley intentionally.

Ashley kept her composure. Her eyebrows arched elegantly. "What do you think you're doing, Lotte?"

The woman called Lotte sneered. "Sorry, my hand slipped."

There was not even a trace of remorse on Lotte's face as if she didn't know that what she had done was wrong. There was only a faint sneer on her face, which clearly showed that she was mocking the other party.

Ashley smiled lightly. "Is that so?"

"What do you want, Ashley? A snot-nosed brat like you didn't deserve to come to a party like… AAAAAAA!"

Prang!

Suddenly, Lotte felt pain on her hand and released the glass she was holding. The wine inside the glass stained her dress before the glass broke into pieces on the floor and the pieces hurt her legs. On the other hand, Ashley was already moving back a bit and avoided the glass pieces.

Her face was calm and only her eyebrows were raised slightly as if asking what was wrong.

"Lotte!"

"You b*tch!" Lotte pointed her finger towards Ashley as her face ashen. "It must be you who…"

Plak!

A middle aged man had arrived before Lotte and slapped her before she could say more. His face looked similar to Lotte, which meant that he must be her father. He bowed towards Ashley a bit. "Sorry, Miss Rin, my daughter is a bit hot headed."

"It's fine but you should educate her so that she wouldn't be an embarrassment in public," Ashley said unhurriedly. Her attitude was as if she was the senior while Lotte was a young brat who didn't know anything.

Lotte's face turned red in anger again, but her father had dragged her away. After that little commotion, the guests were already busy attending their own matters, so they didn't have any time to care about anything else in the slightest bit.

On the back, Neo chuckled a bit. Other people might not see what Ashley did, but he saw it. Ashley was wearing a long sleeve dress and in her left hand, that she placed beside her hip, was a small toy gun. He recognized it because it was easy to make and the bullet shot by the gun was more 'harmless', but it was still painful nevertheless.

The gun must have been modified in order to fit inside her sleeve. After all, the design of her sleeves were supposed to be slightly bigger.

Ashley didn't seem to care about the matter as she walked to the table. Upon seeing Neo, her eyes lit up a bit. He hadn't come to her mansion again, but she could still remember this young man, who was so nonchalant about her very clearly.

"So you're also here. I thought you're a normal man," Ashley commented.

Neo shrugged. "There's no way I would wear a suit when I was only walking on the street."

It was understandable. Who would want to wear suits when they were walking on the street. Looking at Neo up and down, Ashley thought that he didn't look so bad when he was wearing a suit. He looked very proper while the image he gave when he was wearing a shirt and jeans were that of a gangster.

"Do you also own a company?"

"No. I'm only secretary," Neo replied. He could be said to be the acting CEO because Kevin had never taken care of the problem in Kale Company anymore. However, the name registered was clearly still Kevin.

"Aw, too bad."

"What's too bad."

"If you're CEO, I'll seduce you," Ashley winked her eyes playfully.

Neo was perplexed when he heard what Ashley said. Looking at her playful expression, he couldn't help but smile in response. She might be young, but she could act appropriately according to the occasion necessary for her.

"And since I'm not a CEO, you can't?"

Ashley clicked her tongue. "My father will berate me if I start to seduce an unknown secretary. Anyway, are you here for business?"

"Yes. My Boss… I mean my company's President is…"

Bang!

KYAAAAAAAAAAAA

Before Neo could finish his words, he suddenly heard gunshot and scream coming from the other room.
