Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 127

Joseph paused midway through speaking.

Jaden walked back slowly with his hands in his pockets, saying with a joking smile in his blue eyes, "What's wrong with me? Go ahead."

Joseph sneered coldly, "Humph."

Jaden deliberately teased him, "Why don't you speak?"

Joseph didn't bother talking to him. "Humph!"

Ashley looked at them speechlessly and sighed.

Those two boring men.

They were childish.

At noon, the three of them had lunch at a nearby restaurant.

After lunch, as soon as they left the private room, Jaden answered a phone call from home, and it couldn't be finished in a short time.

So he signaled to Ashley that he needed to go to the side to take a call.

Ashley waved and signaled Jaden to answer the call, and she and Joseph waited for him there.

After Jaden walked away, Ashley was about to return to the private room with Joseph to sit and wait for Jaden.

She took a few steps and found Joseph standing at the private room door, looking toward the left of the corridor.

"What's wrong?" Ashley asked suspiciously.

"I saw a senior in showbiz." Joseph raised his hand and pointed over there.

Ashley looked in the direction he was pointing and saw an older man in the corridor who was thin and a little depressed.

The older man's hair was half-gray, and there were wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were bright and wise.

Ashley recognized him at a glance. He was Sean Ashworth, a well-known older actor in showbiz and a highly respected artist who had won the lifetime achievement award.

In Ashley's impression, Sean had always been energetic, and even at such an old age, he would participate in some film and television dramas with good scripts.

But why did he look a little out of sorts today?

Sean had been staring at his phone screen as if reading something. He didn't notice the trash can in the corridor and tripped as he passed by.

The place where Sean had been tripped was right at the private room door.

Joseph quickly reached out to support him. "Be careful."

Ashley then asked, "Are you okay?"

A fall was severe for older people. They would get injured from it.

Sean stood firm and smiled gratefully, "I'm fine, thank you."

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something when she saw Frankie and Jessica walking towards this side.

As Frankie came over, he pulled Sean from Joseph's hand. "Mr. Ashworth, the private room I booked is on the third floor. I looked for you for a while. It turned out that you were on the second floor."

Sean sighed, "Huh, I am really getting old. I can't even find a private room correctly."

"Don't say that, Mr. Ashworth. You're in good spirits." Frankie looked solemn. Obviously, he didn't say that from the heart. After saying that, he looked at Joseph aside with a sarcastic look.

"Hello, Mr. Fox. Mr. Ashworth has agreed to sign a contract with the Ramos Group. Please don't do the despicable act of poaching from behind."

Joseph narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Frankie, do you think others are as shameless as you? I just helped Mr. Ashworth. What are you afraid of?"
