Chapter 437: When did I say that

"Oh come on Ashley, don’t be so formal. Did you forget we have already worked together, or... should I say almost worked together" Jennifer purposely brought up the past.

She was expecting Ashley to get pissed by her remark. She wasn’t to degrade her image proving her arrogant and unprofessional. But the response she got in return dropped her mouth.

"How can I forget about it Jennifer, after I was replaced because a certain someone was insecure that I would snatch away her limelight"

Ashely wasn’t a child, not to understand what this woman was trying to do.

An insecure woman like her was never going to change and she finally learned that.

Jennifer’s face turned ugly at her remark. Her eyes turned cold and she quickly pursed her lips into a thin line.

"I wasn’t insecure of you Ashley, because I knew no matter what no one would be able to surpass my beauty" Jennifer switch her reaction from dark to sincere as she forced a smile.

She knew many eyes were staring at them and just because Ashley was being Ashley she didn’t want to ruin her image.

Ashley on the other hand followed her steps and kept smiling. No open apart from them knew what discussion was going on between the two. But one thing was sure Ashley finally found that working with Jennifer wasn’t going to be smooth.

A woman who wouldn’t dare replacing her last moment before the shoot can repeat the same strategy to defame her.

Amused by her reaction, Ashley understood how quick-witted and sly Jennifer was.

Starring at her for a few seconds, Ashley reached her hand and placed it on Jennifer’s shoulder, and said, "When did I say that you were insecure about me? I just mentioned the rumors which spread that time" Passing a playful smirk Ashley watched her face crack up.

Jennifer was on the verge of losing her cool and snap when her manager rushed to her side informing her about the shoot.

Eyeing the poor girl with the murderous eye, Jennifer then shot a glare at Ashley, and without saying a word she flung around and walked away from there.

Ashley watched her retreating and let out a displeased smile. She realized she had to be more careful around her from here on, as she couldn’t take anyone lightly now.

Meanwhile, Tristan followed Ashley’s words and take the news down. He even asked Karl to cancel his appointment with the media company. Instead, he offered them on taking their interview.

Sitting inside his office, Tristan was busy doing his work when someone knock on the door. Looking up he watched Karl make his way inside.

"Any reply," he asked moving his attention back to the file in front of him.

"They agreed" Karl answered.

Tristan paused for a second and bobbed his head. "I will let you know the date until then make sure the news harm Ashley. I am sure many anti-fans would try to defame her. Take down all the nasty comments and also find who was the one behind leaking the news"

Tristan knew Fox Feed Media would never try to publish this news unless someone helped them find the evidence. That media company only published news that was true and not mere just a rumor. And now he wanted to know who was the person, who dared to challenge him.

"Okay boss" Karl answered and left the cabin.

Joining his palms, Tristan rested his elbows on the surface of the table and started pondering on the people who had ill motives towards Ashley.

First, it was Jane and Greg who wanted to defame her. But they were been taken care of a long time back. Jane killed herself while, Greg, he stepped back the moment he learned about their relationship.

The man was so cowardly that he didn’t dare to irk him anyhow and decided to live a normal life.

Apart from Sandra, he couldn’t recall anyone. With her still missing, Tristan found it hard to believe that she would do something like this.

While he was still busy thinking, his phone rang and Tristan snapped out of his thoughts.

Looking at the caller all his doubts flung out of the window and a charming smile formed on his lips.

"Is my wife missing me?" he asked the moment he answered Ashley’s call.

She was his happy pill and no matter how tired he was, for her, he would always switch his mood.

Ashley smiled at his cheeky remark. She had just finished giving her shot and was currently preparing for the next scene when his thought popped into her mind.

She never admitted it but having him on the set always made her feel secure. Though his jealous self would end up pissing her still, she liked whenever he dropped by.

Tristan would always end up cheering for her whenever she finished giving a shot and that proud smile always pushed her to do better.

"I missed you being on the set" she admitted and heard him chuckle.

"Now you agreed, me being there wasn’t a problem. Yet you shove me away" he whined changing his smile into a small frown.

Ashley laughed at his comment. The man was so quick from being all cheeky to sulking the next moment. ’What was she supposed to do with him’ This thought always wandered in her mind.

When she didn’t hear him speak, Ashley stopped smiling. "Okay now, stop sulking. Aren’t you happy that I already admit missing you" she asked turning the page of her script.

Ashley was already in a bad mood because of Jennifer who purposely kept on giving retakes because she wasn’t satisfied with her acting. When in reality she was way better even in the first take. Yet, to annoy her and make her lose her emotions, she kept on telling Franklin to take another shot.

After almost seven retakes, she was finally satisfied with her shot and concluded the scene. She wondered whether she would be able to keep up with her behavior and finish the shoot on a good note.

The frown on Tristan’s forehead cleared and his smile returned once again. "Do you want to come there?" he asked and only received a silence from the other end.
