Chapter 50: Ice cream with two cherry on top

"Okay... okay, I forgive you, please don’t cry," he said quickly and found her turn silent the next instant.

Blowing a relieved sigh, Karl wiped his sweat and calmed his nervousness, brushing off the weird thoughts that scared him for a second.

He could listen to her talk the whole day, but he couldn’t stand his boss’s deadly glare. He thought and heard her say," Did you really... forgive me" her words reached like a mere whisper.

Karl’s heart softened listening to her words, and a smile crept on his face.

"Yes, I forgave you... now please don’t cry, Miss Gwen."

Gwen wiped the leftover tears from her face and smiled. She could feel her heart turn heavy with his silence, and she burst into tears embarrassing herself once again in front of him.

But now that he forgave her, she didn’t want to commit the same mistake that would upset him. She considered him her friend and didn’t want him to stop talking with her.

"Thanks," she muttered low.

Karl also felt better after talking to her when suddenly sometimes crossed his mind, and his mood turned gloomy. He wanted to ask her did she liked the guy to whom she showed her beautiful smile but stopped because he felt it was too much to invade someone’s privacy.

Even though they spoke freely, he still couldn’t forget that she was his boss’s sister and assistant.

Brushing that thought, he looked back at the time and said," I think it’s time to sleep, Miss Gwen" his words made Gwen look at the time, and she nodded.

"Yes... it’s late," she said lazily.

Gwen didn’t want to stop talking with him but just kept listening to him as he rarely spoke.

Karl wasn’t like those guys who would take advantage of his position. He was very patient with her and let her speak her mind, which sometimes landed her in trouble.

"Good night Mr. Assistant."

"Good night Miss Gwen."

After the call ended, Gwen slumped down on her bed and heaved a sigh before her lips curled up into a smile.

Unlocking her phone, she looked at Karl’s picture, which she had taken secretly when he was giving the presentation. She was brave enough to snap him in front of her brother’s gawk-like eyes.

"Why is he so shy around me?" she said, talking to the picture and pouting.

"Never mind as long as you speak with me," she said and locked the phone before closing her eyes.

Tristan’s and Ashley’s room

Tristan was wide awake and was adoring his beautiful sleeping beauty, who didn’t want to wake up. First, he thought he would just stare at her and let her wake up on her own, but now it had been half an hour, yet she didn’t stir a little.

Slowly reaching his finger to touch the tip of her nose Tristan tried to wake her, "Ash," he called her name softly and saw her stir a little.

Slowly opening her eyes, Ashley first saw Tristan’s face, and a smile appeared on her lips. How beautiful this sight was for her to see this handsome man early in the morning after she opened her eyes.

"Bliss," she muttered and stared at Tristan.

"Are you going to keep staring at me?" he asked, watching her nod.

She acted like a lovesick puppy, utterly smitten by her charming husband.

As she kept watching him, she remembered the heated session that happened last night but didn’t reach its destination, and just the flash of that image made her blush.

Wasn’t she blushing too much recently, she thought and covered her face with her palm.

Tristan watched her cute act and found it adorable," Do you want us to continue from where we stopped" he leaned closed to her ear and whispered.

Ashley felt the need to have physical contact, but Tristan was different. His touch wasn’t disgusting, nor did it give her the reason to step back.

"Stop it," she said and slapped his arm, uncovering her face.

She still felt shy, sleeping naked next to him even though there wasn’t anything he hadn’t seen.

Tristan burst into laughter and saw her frown. ’Why was she cute yet sexy at the same time" Cute because she kept frowning at him and sexy because she looked like a vanilla ice cream with two cheery on top right now.

"You are so mean," she complained and sat straight on the bed, covering the front with a duvet.

Tristan stopped laughing when her bare back came into his view, and he gulped hard. His member down started throbbing, but just the sight of her back. What would happen when she is standing completely naked in front of him?

Holy shit... he cursed, making her look at him, and in that process, the duvet on her chest slipped, and her round boobs popped out.

Tristan’s eyes bulged out like sockets, and he gasped, watching them wholly open and tempting.

Ashley’s eyes widened, and she immediately covered herself back, crashing his desire like a biscuit, and climbed down the bed in a hush, leaving him naked without any protection, and dashed inside the bathroom.

"...."

"This man is so horny," she muttered, slamming the door shut and leaning back with shock all over her face.

Her heart played the drums against her chest when she saw lust glim across his eyes.

Tristan was dumbfounded by the sudden change in the scenario, averted his gaze, and watched the closed door.

"She will be my death one day," he muttered and released the breath he had been holding for some time.

*****

On her way to the agency, Miley explained everything to Ashley, and she even showed the pictured of Greg and Jane meeting one of the board members secretly.

"He went too far this time" Ashley wasn’t expecting Greg to be so serious about his claim that he even went to meet the agency’s vice president.

Calming her nerves, she took a deep breath, leaned back without uttering a word, and kept quiet until her car stopped in front of the agency building.

Entering through the secret doorway, Ashley walked along with Miley and stepped into the elevator hiding from the photographers who waited at the main entrance of the building.

Reaching the last floor of the building, she walked towards the conference hall, where all the board members waited for her arrival.

The news of her being a cheater lit like fire across the media, and everyone accused her of being the unfaithful person in the relationship.

As soon as she entered the room, every chattering voice lowered, and their accusing eyes fell on her.

Ashley kept her face and didn’t let their hateful gaze affect her. She had faced many accusations before and came out clean, clearing her name.

Taking her deep breath, she composed herself and walked towards the crowd, taking a seat for herself and settling down.

Removing her sunglasses, she greeted the old man, the CEO of the agency Dream Star. He was the first man who saw her worth and got her on board, giving her life’s first modelling assignment.

"As everyone knows the motive behind the meeting, I wouldn’t waste any longer and just dive into the topic," CEO Finn said and asked the members to answer the question.

Finn knew Ashley for a long time and knew that this tigress was not someone who lets people point the finger at her character. If all these while she has been quiet, then there must be a reason behind it.

He patiently waited for Ashley to speak and clear her name as she had always done, shutting the accusing mouth that couldn’t handle her growth which she solely achieved by her talent.

"Miss Ashley, what do you have to say about the pictures circulating all over the media channel and who. is. the. Mysterious man," Vice president Gorge asked with an evil smile.

He was the same man whom Miley was talking about. The most cunning person there didn’t leave a chance to defame her.

It all started in her early days in the modelling world when he approached her and asked her to sleep with him, and in return, she would bang the assignment.

And when she rejected him by slapping him, he kept targeting her since then and started finding ways to tarnish her image.

Remembering the past, a smile appeared on her lips, and she looked at the man.

"Who says the pictures are real and not photoshopped" Ashley’s words dropped his smile, and he blabbered," Then do you think the pictures are fake and not genuine."

Ashley smiled and leaned back leisurely, playing with her fingers, and instead asked him," On what basis do you think the pictures are genuine, Vice president Gorge."

Ashley had warned this man before not to meddle in her life and stay away from it, but he didn’t seem to understand. Now that he had asked it by himself, she had shown him how it feels when your character has been pointed.
