Chapter 282: He himself couldn’t understand

"Sure, I will convey your message to the boss" Gwen kept her professional tone agreeing to Charles’s request. She had nothing for her to object to since Linda was going to take control of Acme Corps after her grandfather’s retirement.

She didn’t let her issues get in between the project but little did she know the girl whom she was ignoring, for now, had a huge plan brewing in her brain.

After the meeting finished Gwen got up to leave. She stepped out of the cabin and headed towards the lift when she heard Linda’s voice from behind and her steps halt right in front of the lift’s door.

Turning back she watched Linda sprinting towards her. She carried the same fake smile while she approached her.

"Sorry, I couldn’t talk with you properly. My grandfather isn’t a fan of cheering personality" she stated.

’As if I was dying to talk with her’ Gwen said inwardly but maintained her polite smile without letting it falter because of Linda’s words.

"It’s okay after all we are at work and it’s necessary to keep your relation aside," Gwen said and watched her bob her head.

"You are right but once we are not working I would like us to keep our conversation casual. It’s too awkward for me to maintain this professional look. I hope you understand" Linda said with a friendly tone.

Looking for some time Gwen nodded and soon they heard the screeching sound of the lift.

"It was nice meeting you" Gwen tried to end the conversation as she was getting late.

"Me too. I hope it will be nice working with you" Linda said and watched Gwen smile at her in agreement before she turned and step inside the lift with the door sliding close on their smiling face.

Once the door closed Linda’s smile faded and her face turned evil as she glared ahead with venom dripping from her eyes.

"You insulted me, Gwen. Now it’s time to let you taste your own medicine" with an evil smirk Linda turned and walked away.

"Hmm... I am full" Ashley whined pushing back the spoon away from her mouth, giving Tristan a pitiful look.

"Just this one then we are done" Tristan forced back the spoon once again towards her lips and watched her glare at him before she opened her mouth and sip it.

"Hmm, not anymore please" Ashley felt like her tummy would burst any second if he keep her stuffing with food. Not too long ago, they had their breakfast but here he was once again making her eat.

Tristan didn’t force her and placed back the bowl on the side table before he wiped her lips and pass her a glass of water. Once she was done drinking it, he climbed down from the bed and headed towards the wardrobe, and started looking at their clothes.

"Ash, we need to go shopping. These dresses are not going to fit you after five months" Tristan said rubbing his chin. The moment doctor said him that Ashley was pregnant, he had been planning a few things he needed to change and one of them was her wardrobes.

"Five months, Tristan. We still have five months until you change my wardrobe" Ashley rolled her eyes at Tristan’s words. His mind was thinking way too ahead.

"But still we need to decide on the design. So we should start doing it from now on" Tristan closed the door and walked back towards the bed and sat next to Ashley.

"See, it’s less stressful if we start working on it from now on. By the time you reach the fifth month, everything will be ready and you don’t have to worry about anything"

Ashley stared at her husband for a few seconds before she heaved out a sigh." Do as you wish. But still, I prefer that we should go with the flow and enjoy the process instead of stressing from now on" she knew his worry was acceptable but that doesn’t mean they would not have enough time for this minor things.

Ashley didn’t argue any further and turned around reaching her arm to get her phone from the side table when she heard Tristan say.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Informing Miley about my leave for today" she mumbled unlocking her phone and gaped at Tristan in shock.

"You already told her?" she asked showing him the text reply Miley send her.

"Yes and from now on she also has to take extra care of yours or else, I will deduct her pay," he said adjusting himself next to her with his arm stretching on the head on the backrest as he leisurely sat next to Ashley.

"You can’t scare her like this" Ashley scowled keeping her phone back on the side table.

Tristan just kept smiling at her frown-marred face and leaned forward as he kissed her lips. She looked more beautiful in his eyes and he couldn’t stop himself from thanking her.

Ashley too gave in as soon as he deepened the kiss. His kisses were slow and gentle, full of love that she forgot everything and kissed him back with the same feeling.

By the time they pulled back, Ashley was panting heavily which made Tristan panic." I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to leave you breathless" he apologized for ignoring her condition and letting his desire take control over his mind.

Watching him getting worried made Ashley smile. She couldn’t believe he was the same man who would always make her moan his name just to enhance his sexual desire. Never once he stopped even after she asked him and now, he was getting worried because he kissed her too damn hard, leaving her breathless.

"Why are you smiling?" he asked. His brows creased into a deep frown.

"Nothing. I was thinking about how many times you are going to keep saying sorry. Are you sure you will be able to control your monster Tristan knight" Ashley pursed her lips as she tried to fight back her smile.

She knew Tristan was like an untamed beast. He thrive for more and was never satisfied. She wondered how he was going to control himself.

Her words made Tristan turn quiet as he pondered on her words. After long thinking, he finally asked," H-how long we can’t do it" he asked chewing the inside of his mouth. He didn’t think after impregnating her they would have to put a stop to their sexual life.

His eyes watched her earnestly as if he was scared of her answer. How was he supposed to live without worshipping his wife? It was like torture for both him and his little member.

Ashley stared at Tristan’s pale face before she burst into a fit of laughter. Her contagious smile made Tristan even more nervous.

"You really have no clue about it, Tristan," she asked controlling her smile and watched him shake his head in denial.

"Tsk Tsk, then my dear husband brace yourself because you are going to have a tough time silencing your monster" patting his cheeks lightly she watched his face turn ugly as it lost all color.

Ashley just wanted to tease him and see how long he was going to keep his hands off her. Without saying anything further she climbed down the bed leaving the clueless Tristan to sit alone and deal with his problems.

Gabriel reached the classes on time but learned that Ashley wasn’t going to come and that kind of surprised him.

’Why would she take a leave’ he thought.

Gabriel had been attending the classes because of Ashley as he wanted to get close to her and now when he found that she isn’t going to come suddenly he started to feel lonely.

He couldn’t understand why would he get upset but he did. Maybe because he liked teasing her which was why he was getting upset or maybe he had started to like her company.

’No! This can’t be’ his subconscious mind obliged.

Blinking his eyes Gabriel tried to brush off that unwanted feeling he was starting to feel because of Ashley’s absence.

"Are you ready" he heard Christina’s voice and quickly snapped out of his thoughts.

Forcing a smile, he bobbed his head and soon they started with the class.

The entire time he performed any scene, his mind would drift to Ashley and that would make him forget his lines.

"Riel, what’s wrong with you? Why are you messing up your lines" hearing Christina’s pissed voice, Gabriel heaved out a sigh.

"I need some time to rehearse the dialogues," he requested and quickly excused himself.

What was wrong with him, he thought as he walked towards his chair and took a seat.

Max who had been observing his boss’s displease actions made him wonder what was wrong with him. He seems to be in a bad mood since he found out that Ashley wasn’t going to come.

’Is the boss starting to have a feeling for Ashley’ he wondered as he watched Riel’s sullen face.
