Chapter 262: See you

The acting class ended with Christina getting highly impressed by both Ashley and Riel. She had her doubts but now she was convinced that her decision of coaching them wasn’t wrong.

"I must say that you both surprised me, especially you Ashley," Christina said looking at Ashley.

When Finn asked her to get Ashley under her guidance, she was a little skeptical. The past scandals about the girl had already tarnished her image and she didn’t want the same thing to happen to her.

But now with these two hours of training, she came to see Ashley wasn’t like the one she was portrayed to be. It was all the false rumors that circled around her name just to defame her.

"Thank you"

Ashley was thankful that even after making a few mistakes, she was able to pull off the act. Yes, she was anxious in the beginning but after understanding the situation she was able to clear the hurdle.

Passing her a polite smile Christina then turned her eyes to Riel." And you Riel, you weren’t that bad either but you still need to work on your expression. You can’t go on keeping a straight face" she stated.

Riel scratched the back of his neck and pursed his lips. If only they knew who he was and from where he belonged, Christina wouldn’t have been standing here next to him.

"I will improve myself, Christina," he said accepting all her words.

Now that he had stepped into this situation, Gabriel couldn’t turn his back. If he has to get back to Tristan, he first has to befriend his wife and for that, he had to stick to her.

After having a few talks both Ashley and Riel left the academy.

The moment Ashley stepped out, she fastened her pace motioning Miley with her eyes and they quickly walked through the corridor, heading straight towards the elevator.

She didn’t want to associate with Riel and it was better if she quickly get away from there.

The second the door of the elevator slide opened, Ashley, stepped in along with Miley and was about to press the close button when Riel stepped in along with his manager.

"You seem to be in hurry" eyeing her playfully he said.

Ashley rolled her eyes in annoyance and took a step to the right, next to Miley. She thought he would be able to make it and she would easily sneak away but she was wrong. The man didn’t leave a chance to annoy her.

Max was disguised as Riel’s assistant, found it quite amusing to see his boss interacting with Ashley so calmly. Turning his eyes away from them he pressed the button and the lift soon rode down.

Ashley kept her eyes ahead, ignoring the man standing next to her. Silently praying that they would soon reach down and she would just walk away from him.

"You were amazing today" her body stiffened when she heard Riel’s voice next to her ear.

Snapping her head around she gave him a warning look and he moved back, straightening up. The smile on his face stretched even more as he watched her frown at him.

Ashley’s eyes threw daggers at him. She wanted to know if she had committed any sin for him to come a pester her for nothing. The way he kept bothering her was now wrecking her nerves and she wasn’t able to keep herself calm.

Heaving out a sigh, Ashley was about to question him when the elevator sound echoed and the door opened.

"See you tomorrow" she heard him smile at her and he stepped out with his manager leaving them behind and walked away from there.

Gnashing her teeth in anger Ashley stormed out of the elevator with Miley tailing behind.

The moment they stepped out of the academy building, Jack quickly straightened up watching them. His eyes brightened at the sight of Miley but when he looked to her side, Ashley’s disturbed faced came to his view and he creased.

’What happened to her’ he thought but soon composed his doubts and opened the car’s door for them.

Once the ladies hopped in he then walked towards the driver seat but before he could climb in, he saw a car drive past them. Though the car drove quickly he didn’t forget to see a man who had his eyes on them.

Falling into a thought Jack stared at the retreating car briefly, he then climbed into the car and they drove away.

Inside the retreating car, Gabriel turned his eyes from the road and looked ahead with plain eyes.

"Tristan seems to have his men follow his wife everywhere" Max too noticed a new guard with Ashley and said.

"He is just being cautious because he knew his one negligence will land him in big trouble" Gabriel didn’t care how many people were protecting Ashley. For now, he only had to keep his revenge aside and focus on getting close to her.

He had to gain her trust first, letting her see through her man’s wrongdoing and let her know how because of Tristan, he lost the most precious person of his life.

Max saw the change in Gabriel’s face through the rare mirror and pursed his lips. He didn’t say anything further and focused on the drive.

*****

Tristan finished the meetings and stepped into his cabin. Taking his seat, he was about to call Ashley but instead, she called him in return.

Flashing his charming smile, Tristan quickly answered the call," I was about to call you" he said but when she didn’t quickly answer back, he frown.

"Ash" he called her name and heard her sigh.

Closing his eyes in relief, he asked," What happened?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to listen to you" came her reply.

Tristan senses the tiredness in her voice and said," Turn the speak on"

Listening to his words, she turned the speaker on and heard him say," Jack drive Ashley to the company" he instructed.

"Yes, boss" Jack answered and took another turn that lead them to Skylar’s corps.

In ten minutes, their car stood in front of the tall building and Ashley stepped out. Standing in front of the private elevator, Ashley waited for the lift to reach down.

The second the lift opened her eyes widen in shock to see Tristan standing inside. Before she could react, Tristan pulled her inside and pressed the lift button.

Pinning her on the wall, Tristan captured her lips desperately and kissed her. The moment she expressed her desire to listen to him, he couldn’t hold himself back.

Ashley was his weakness and anything that bothered her would eventually bother him.

Resting her palm on his chest Ashley deepened the kiss, giving in to the same desperation.
