Chapter 1485
“It’s okay. I don’t want to waste it,” said Elaine.
Ian walked into the office and immediately removed his jacket and tie as he never liked
to wear formal clothes.
Elaine walked in behind him with her coffee and looked up to witness this scene. The
thin white shirt was pressed against his chest, so the outlines of his body could easily
be seen as he breathed in and out.
She would say that Ian was the most well-built man she had ever met.
As expected of a man who had been an undercover agent for years, graduated from
the police academy, and trained in the army for many years.
The last time she ran into him accidentally was when he was changing his clothes. He
looked muscular, but his build did not look very exaggerated. The curvatures and lines
of his muscles looked very firm and as hard as nails.
When working in her office, she often heard her female colleagues talking about men’s
abs. Most women loved men who had abs because they made them look sexy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElaine looked down subconsciously, thought of something all of a sudden, and instantly,
her cheeks became very warm. Thus, she quickly turned her face away.
She admitted she was getting a little aroused, thinking of his body.
Ian draped his coat on the back of the couch, sat down alone, looked up, and saw her freeze in place, “what’s the
matter?”
She recovered from the trance and felt inexplicably guilty when she met his gaze. “No... It’s nothing.”
She lowered her head, walked to the couch next to the couch Ian was on, and sat down. She then drank the coffee
in her hands, thought of something, and quickly changed the subject, “oh yeah, the cafe manager told me you
didn’t take over Synergy.”
Ian laughed. “I don’t like to run a company. I rarely even take care of the cafe.”
Elaine lowered her gaze. “It’s good to be able to do what you like.”
“You can do so too.”
“Me?” She paused for a split second, pursed her lips, and replied after a short while, “I only want to take over my
father’s company, but he won’t let me.”
“When a woman wants to run a company, in addition to her brain and means, she must also know the sacrifices
she has to make to survive in the circle, including her emotions. You’ve never experienced the cruel and darker side
of the business field. It’s not unreasonable for your father to not want you to inherit Beyond Tech.“
In the business field, entrepreneurs would not care about someone else’s feelings—personal interests and profits
were the only things they cared about. No one would be willing to give selflessly.
Many people in the circle would abandon their original aspirations when profits were brought into the equation. Not
many people would be able to keep their original aspirations.
Those who could climb to the top of the pyramid depended, to a certain extent, on their families’ connections and
backgrounds, otherwise, those who had to climb up the ladder from the bottom might need to give up more than
they could obtain.
Elaine could inherit Beyond Tech with the connections and foothold that her father had accumulated over the years.
After all, she was the daughter of the company's current owner.
But a woman would eventually get married, and Edward did not want her to inherit Beyond Tech only because he
was worried she would give herself to blind emotions.
“According to what you just said, if I were to marry you and inherit the company in the future, should I be careful of
you?”
Ian froze for a moment before laughing out loud. “ Then what do you think of me?”
She choked on her own words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘What he said makes sense too.
‘He didn’t even take over Synergy, so why would he make Beyond Tech his target? It’s
not that Ian is not interested in power. It’s just that he’s better aware of how society
works than an average person.
‘These things were merely world possessions. Many people in the world are racing with
time in order to achieve success, compete with each other throughout a huge portion
of their lives, and keep their eyes on everything every day just in case something were
to happen. They are the most tired people in the world.
‘We don’t need too much of everything. Having ample of the basics of life is good
enough for most of us humans. After all, one can’t bring all these worldly possessions
with them when they die. The best that we can do is to pass them down to others.’
Her lips trembled slightly. “I know you’re not such a person.”
He smiled again. “Do you trust me this much?”
She was astonished for a split second and lowered her gaze. “I trust you based on my
intuition.”
Ian laughed. “It’s no wonder Edward wouldn’t let you take over Beyond Tech.”
Elaine was rendered speechless. “You’re the one who made me believe in you.”
