Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia)

---- Chapter 232 Though discussing work was just Asher's excuse to invite Thalia to lunch, there were still several other Blackwood Group cases pending. At the table, Thalia brought up these cases again. Asher chuckled, "Lia, in such a romantic atmosphere, do you only want to discuss business with me?" Thalia lowered her eyes, her expression unchanged. "Mr. Blackwood, weren't you the one who said you wanted to talk about the cases?" "Fair enough," Asher raised an eyebrow.

"Let's talk then." Better than having nothing to say. When Thalia spoke about work, her gaze was calm and focused. Asher simply gazed at her quietly, deep affection in his eyes. He listened attentively, as if he had truly invited her to this meal just to discuss work. Thalia was a bit surprised and teased, "I thought Mr. Blackwood wouldn't be interested in these matters." ---- Although they were Blackwood Group cases, small issues like litigation disputes weren't typically handled by a CEO.

Hearing this, the man composed himself and replied seriously, "Because this is your work, your passion. I know how much you care about it, so I listen carefully. Lia, Irespect and support your career." Thalia was momentarily stunned. She hadn't expected such a sincere answer from Asher. His words were like a small pebble dropped into the lake of her heart, creating ripples that spread outward. Thalia's heart stirred slightly.

After lunch, Thalia needed to return to her law firm, and Asher had to go back to his company to handle some matters. After dropping Thalia off at her office building, Asher left. In early July, Thalia traveled to a small town in Interlaken, Switzerland for a court hearing. Thalia had originally planned to stay in Interlaken for just one ---- night, finish the hearing the next afternoon, and then return. Though remote, the small town was surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery.

Tourism was well-developed, with many hotels and guesthouses in town. During the peak travel season, hotels raised their prices significantly-rooms that normally cost a couple hundred were now over a thousand per night. Price wasn't the issue; the problem was that rooms were hard to book during tourist season. Fortunately, Thalia had connections and had called ahead to reserve a twin-bed room at the best hotel in town.

While it couldn't compare to five-star hotels, the room was clean with acceptable sanitary conditions and fairly complete basic facilities. For this business trip, to be safe, Thalia had brought Alana along. Although the threat from Victor and Emily had been eliminated, this small town was remote, and Thalia was unfamiliar with the area. It would be dangerous for a woman to travel alone.noveldrama
