Chapter 290: Let’s announce

By the time Ashley ended the call, she felt a lot better. Tristan’s voice was enough to brush off every doubt. She trusted Tristan more than Riel’s words and there is no way she would let him manipulate her.

With that, she composed herself and returned to the rehearsal room.

Tristan on the other hand was happy to talk with Ashley and was about to resume back his work when he remembered Jack calling him when he was on the call with her.

Sensing he might be having something important to inform about, he quickly made him a call.

"Boss" Jack surprisingly answered. He wasn’t expecting him to call him back but now that he did, he composed himself.

"Any news regarding Gabriel?" Tristan asked coming straight to the point.

Jack opened and closed his mouth, dumbfounded by Tristan’s question but then he remembered he was yet to inform Tristan about Gabriel being with Ashley for sometimes even after Christina granted them a small break.

He hesitated for some time, knowing Tristan would get pissed but that was his job and he cannot disappoint his boss.

So taking a deep breath he told Tristan everything.

"What!!! She was crying the entire time she was talking with me" Tristan was so engrossed in her sweet words that he didn’t doubt her tone. She sounded happy all the time.

"Hmm..."

"Find out what conversation they had inside the rehearsal room. I want to know what that man said to Ashley that made her tear up" instructing Jack, Tristan ended the call in fury.

Tossing his phone on the table Tristan pinched the bridge of his nose and Karl entered the cabin.

Sensing Tristan’s bad mood, Karl asked," Is anything, wrong boss"

"Karl when is the table read," Tristan asked.

"Tomorrow boss" he answered and watched Tristan lean back as he bobbed his head.

Karl observed Tristan as he kept thinking and the moment their eyes met, his meaningful glance gave him the answers and he quickly retreated out of the cabin.

Moving his eyes from Karl, Tristan’s lips curled up into an evil smile and he picked up his phone to make a call to the very important person.

"Let’s announce," he said and ended the call.

"I can’t wait to meet you, my dear friend" letting out a soft chuckle Tristan resume back his work.

After Alice shoved Noah out of the room, he didn’t dare to enter back and kept standing outside until her mood calmed down.

Once the nurse informed him that Alice wanted to meet him, that’s when he decided to enter.

Alice was busy reading a magazine when she sensed Noah’s presence and she slowly glanced at him. He looked like a scared cat who was afraid of even taking a step ahead.

"How long do you wish to stand there Noah? Get back to the couch and resume your work. I don’t want your business to suffer because of me" she sounded calm but he knew it was just a façade. The anger was still there, the only thing was she smartly suppressed it.

Bobbing his head like a child, Noah slowly walked towards the couch and resume his work. A few minutes passed, with both of the sitting numb on their parts.

’How can I change his mind? I can’t spend my days sitting ideally in this room’ Alice thoughts as she peeked through the magazine in her hand.

She didn’t know how was supposed to convince him that she was better and didn’t need to stay in her hospital for too long. But every time she tries to speak, she somehow ends up getting hyper.

She could have handled the situation carefully but she herself couldn’t understand why she lost her temper earlier. Feeling guilty about Noah, she closed the magazine and placed it aside before she looked back at Noah.

He was quietly doing his work without lifting his head for once. ’Is he so busy that he isn’t even looking at me’ she thought and pursed her lips into a thin.

’Are you upset that he is following your words’ her subconscious mind questioned and she bobbed her head like a kid.

She couldn’t take the silence anymore and quietly climbed down from the bed and walked toward the couch. Taking the seat next to Noah, she mumbled," I’m sorry for yelling at you"

Noah who had already sensed her presence curled his lips upward but quickly composed as he decided to tease her a little. Putting on a sad expression Noah turned to look at Alice and pouted.

"You shoved me out of the room," he said and watched her feel more sorry for him.

"I know, but didn’t you deserve it" crossing her hands over her chest Alice leaned back on the couch.

"You know I hate hospitals, still you extended my stay here. I just feel like puking every time the nurse comes and injects me the medicines" Alice kept whining only to hear a burst of heartful laughter from Noah in return.

He was expecting to get coaxed by Alice but it was she who needed soothing. Letting go of his pitiful act, Noah turned around and sat facing Alice. "I know you don’t like hospitals but still you have to think from my point of view. I can’t risk your health, Alice."

Alice glanced at him from the corner of her eye but didn’t voice her thoughts knowing whatever Noah was telling was right. For him, it was always her, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Fine... I agree to stay for a few more days but after that-" she stopped and pulled him by his collar until their face stopped a few inches apart and warned, "If you still try to come with an excuse of making me stay here even for a second, I will never kiss you"

"Are you sure, because of the way you are restraining from clasping your lips on mine, I doubt if that would ever happen"

"...."
