Chapter 270: Just stay away from me

Ashley didn’t like the way he kept interfering in her private space. First, he sat next to her without even getting a nod from her, and now this, constant peeking into her phone.

"No," he asked getting confused by her reaction.

"Did you two already break up" he gaped, staring back at her.

Ashley who was now reaching her limits fumed at his dumbfounded reaction. Does he think she wouldn’t get what was he trying to do?

"That’s none of your business" Ashley exclaimed, clenching her jaw in fury.

She had always been doubtful about Riel since the day they first met. She had this lack of sureness about him as he tried to befriend her every time they met.

As she kept throwing deadly glares at him, the more he was enjoying her getting pissed. She was like that aggressive cat ready to attack.

"Of course, it’s my business. Wouldn’t it be great if we two got together? We can definitely make a perfect pair" he said with his mischievous eyes glancing at her without letting her see that he already knew she was married.

Before approaching Ashley, Gabriel had run a search on her bio and he was quite amazed by her. She wasn’t like those models who climb the success ladder by using various means. Though her father was a rich man she opt to make her own identity, which was very remarkable.

Ashley’s face turned ugly at his words and she slammed her palm on the armrest of her chair and stood up in fury.

"You think I don’t know what you are trying to do Mr. Riel Scott or should I say you aren’t even one" she kept her voice as low as she can but it took Gabriel by surprise.

"What!! has the cat got your tongue now?" crossing her arms around, she looked at the man’s shocked face and smirked.

She knew Riel’s identity was kept hidden by Lucas Scott his so-called uncle, but as per the reports Lucas never had any siblings. So who was Riel then?

Gabriel was shocked when she openly questioned his identity. Does this mean she had been knowing about him for a long or it was just a random guess?

The more he stared into clear brown eyes, the more he found them staring at him in seriousness. She didn’t seem like she was fooling around.

When he didn’t say a word, Ashley smiled internally. She didn’t want to go personal but he was the one who force her to speak up and she didn’t regret it because it was high time to stop him from pestering her.

"If you don’t want me to expose your little secret then just stay away from me" she gave him a warning before she moved her chair away from him.

Gabriel didn’t say a word because he knew if he takes any reckless move, then everything he planned for will get ruined.

Moving his eyes back to the girl, he smiled. He never thought Tristan’s wife was as quick-witted as him.

Miley excused herself and stepped out of the rehearsal room when she stumbled on Jack.

"Careful" she heard his concerned voice and pulled back.

Looking at him, she heaved out a sigh." Thank god it’s you. I have something important to talk about"

Holding his wrist, she quickly took him away somewhere in the corner from where nobody could watch or listen to them and said," You were right. Riel is trying to make a move on ma’am" she started from the beginning and ended up telling him everything she heard and saw personally.

The morning when he picked Miley first before reaching Knight Mansion, he seek for her help. Since he wasn’t allowed to step into the rehearsal hall, he ask her to keep an eye on Riel and his manager and keep him informed. She agreed without any doubt and now she was here with the updates.

"Ma’am doesn’t bat an eye at him but the man seems to be persistent because even after getting ignored he still finds his way to get closer to her. Shameless man" Miley gritted her teeth in annoyance.

For her, Tristan and Ashley were the ideal couples and she wouldn’t let any other guy step in and ruin their happy married life.

"If boss comes to find out about it, he would be really pissed" Jack stated.

He had already felt the deadly aura surrounding around Tristan every time talked about Gabriel. What would he do if he comes to find that the man was actually trying to pursue his lady?

"No! We can’t let this happen" Jack snapped out of his thoughts. His shocked eyes then look at the astonished girl.

"HUH"

"We can’t let that man get closer to our lady boss," he said.

"Hmm..." Miley hummed agreeing to it and Jack started explaining something secretly to her.

Once they were done talking, Miley returned back in the rehearsal hall and saw Ashley still sitting on her chair and heaved out a sigh.

She was glad that the man didn’t crawl back to where Ashley was sitting and then she turned to see Riel who was busy talking with his manager.

At first, she didn’t ponder much about the lean man next to Riel but now when she did, she tried recalling if the man had been working in the industry before or just like his boss even he was new.

As her eyes wandered over the man suddenly he turned his head to look in her direction and she gaped, quickly averting her eyes from him.

Max felt someone’s eye on him. Alert he moved his eyes from Gabriel and turned around only to find Miley staring at him. The moment she realized he was watching her she pulled away her eyes as if he caught her.

Gabriel who noticed Max disturbed face turned around and watch him stare at Miley, Ashley’s manager.

"Are you interested in that girl?" he asked breaking his attention and Max turned to look at him cluelessly.

"Huh, What? No... there is nothing like that boss" Max registered his words and quickly objected.

There is no way he would go looking for any girl, as he was much dedicated to his job, and as opposed to that, Miley was Ashley’s manager so indirectly even she was their enemy.

Gabriel watched him for a second and bobbed his head in understanding. Brushing off his doubts he then continued," I want you to find out how much Ashley knows about me. The girl is way smart than I assumed her to be. No doubt she wasn’t moved by my charm"

Gabriel sneered mentally, scolding him for his negligence. He had to know how much information Ashley had tried to gather about him just so he could use another way to trick her into his web of lies.

He was sure she didn’t know he was the same man who she danced to at the party or else she would’ve warned him, but still, he can’t let take things lightly when it came to her.
