Chapter 1085Chapter 1085 Lucas Protected Her
A sharp glint flowed from the depths of her eyes.
Harvey chuckled twice. “You're quite protective of him. All right, I'll stop laughing. Okay?”
Ashlyn pursed her lips, but her hands did not stop moving.
It seemed as though nothing could affect her at all.
Her movements were swift. Approximately ten minutes later, she pressed the enter key, and her gaze
casually fell on Sabrina. “Done. Ms. Gray, for your review, please.”
A flicker of jealousy crossed Sabrina's beautiful face, followed by a surge of indescribable emotions
within her heart.
She tried to keep a straight face, but her facial muscles were trembling. She was almost at a loss for
words.
Her inner emotions were intense, akin to a ferocious beast yearning to break free from its cage and
relieve its anger.
“How could it be so fast...” Despair was evident in Sabrina's eyes as Ashlyn captured everyone's
attention and stole her limelight within Section Six.
What right does she have to deserve this attention?
“You mean fixing your system requires a lot of time?” Ashlyn glanced at her without any change in
expression, then stood up directly.“Old-timer, I'm hungry. Shall we go eat?”
Harvey laughed heartily and said, “Let's go! I've heard the restaurant at Section Six is extraordinary,
offering all kinds of delicacies. The head chef here and the one at The Peacock learned from the same
master.”
And so, both of them headed outside.
Lucas scanned across the crowd, who were stunned by Ashlyn's performance. “Once the wrap-up is
done, everyone should head to the restaurant for a meal.”
“Yes, Mr. Nolan.”
“Okay!”
Sabrina was feeling upset inside, but she did not express it at all.
Upon reaching the restaurant, the group went straight up to the private room on the second floor.
Ashlyn was seated between Harvey and Lucas, much like a star surrounded by her admirers. On the
other side of Harvey was Yvette, and next to her was Sabrina.
Sabrina initially wanted to sit on the left side of Lucas, but Spencer beat her to it.
She was infuriated, but she could not do anything. Hence, she sat down with a sheepish smile.
“What would you like to eat? Feel free to order anything, Old Mr. Laith.”
Lucas slid the menu towards Harvey, who took it without hesitation.
“This one, this one... and this one too.”After which, he turned to Ashlyn and said, “Lynnie, what do you feel like eating? Don't worry about
spending his money.”
Lucas rolled his eyes, speechless.
Ashlyn laughed gently, a faint twinkle rippling in her eyes. “I'll just have the fish chowder.”
She was attracted to the picture of the fish chowder on the menu.
Lucas ordered a few more dishes before returning the menu to the waiter.
It did not take long for their dishes to be served.
From the corner of her eye, Sabrina noticed a waitress walking over from the entrance, carrying a bowl
of steaming hot fish chowder.
She curled her lips slightly, watching the waitress closely. Just as she was about to approach Ashlyn,
Sabrina suddenly stood up. “I need to use the restroom.”
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookWith that, she headed straight toward the waitress.
The waitress was focused on carrying the fish chowder and did not notice Sabrina approaching her.
Suddenly, a foot blocked her path, causing her to lose balance. She let out a startled cry. “Ah!”
Her body lunged forward, followed by the bowl of fish chowder in her hands. The trajectory of the fish
chowder was heading toward Ashlyn.
Ashlyn frowned at the imminent disaster. She was about to do a backflip to dodge the hot soup when a
dark figure suddenly yanked her backward with his muscular arm.He stood tall before her like a towering mountain, protecting her behind him.
The piping hot fish chowder splashed all over the man's chest.
The hot soup quickly penetrated his clothes and scorched his skin until it was red and swollen.
Yet, he remained unfazed and gazed deeply at the woman behind him.
