Unbreak My Heart

'Take over the company?!

I remember that he hated dealing with anything that had to do with the company the most! Why is he suddenly thinking of taking over the company?

Is he crazy?'

It wasn't only Haley. His own parents, Hanley and Carrie were also shocked by what Duncan had just announced.

Did they hear him right? Did Duncan really mean what he just said?

Never had Hanley ever expected to hear his son willing to take over the company. Every time he talked about the business to Duncan, his son would just turn a deaf ear to him. He knew his son was disgusted with business matters.

But, what a turn of events! He still found it difficult to believe what he heard.

For a while, Hanley was stunned. Then, he became enraged! Staring at Duncan, he snapped, "Do you think you can deceive me with your act? I'm not to be messed with! Tell me. Why did you go out?"

It didn't surprise Duncan why Hanley thought that way. He knew how restless he was and how often he went against his father. Voicing out his desire to take over the company all of a sudden would really make his father doubt his motive.

For Hanley, it was just a cover up for Duncan's going out just now.

For Duncan, it was the biggest decision he had ever made so far. Keeping his eyes on his father, he seriously said, "Let me repeat what I said. I want to take over the company!"

On the way back home, Duncan had thought hard about it.

If by chance he was able to come to her, what could he do? How would Ashley feel? All this time he knew that Ashley had no special feelings for him. He was just her friend.

Deep in his heart he knew that someone framed Ashley and forced her to leave the company. But could he make Ashley go back to the same job if he took over the company?

Ashley might not even be interested to go back at all.

The only reason why everyone in the company showed him respect was because he was the heir of the Tang Group.

Who knew what they were sayi

Hanley, good news came one after another today. "Do you want to go to the company now?" he asked, squinting his eyes.

Though Duncan had promised to be involved with the business, Hanley believed that it would take his son a few days before he went to work. He didn't expect Duncan to be that eager to start.

Looking at Duncan and patting his shoulders, Hanley continued, "It's up to you. You decide when you want to go. The earlier, the better.

However, your old ways would not be tolerated. You can't act like you used to, working by fits and starts. This time, however difficult the job is, you must keep going!"

Licking his lips, Duncan said, "I won't."

Duncan knew he had to toughen himself, so that he could have a better chance to go after Ashley and make her proud.

"Well, then, you can go to the company with me tomorrow. But I have to remind you that you have to start at the very bottom and don't tell anyone in the company that you are my son! Okay?"

Duncan's head raised sharply. "But why?" he asked as he looked into his father's eyes.

He thought his father would arrange a better position for him. In his mind, he was already planning when and how he was going after Ashley. He had intended to work in the company for some time and then pursue Ashley next. Such a deliberate plan!
