Chapter 51: Man we can’t mess with

Gorge was tongue-tied when she questioned him back and felt his heart beat vividly when he saw the fierce look in her eyes.

These were the same gaze he had seen when he had asked her to sleep with him and, in return, ’Slap.’

Just remembering the hard blow his mind received from her slap made him retreat from approaching her.

"T-the media say it all" he tried to remain composed and didn’t dare to show his discomfort to anyone around.

Ashley sighed, leaning back lazily," Haven’t the media published rubbish about me from the beginning, Mr Gorge? Then why can’t this news be false too."

Ashley’s word had a point. She was dragged into this scandal for a long time and has always proven innocent. Then why can’t it be now?

Everyone inside the room started to look at each other and murmured to each other when the CEO quite them all," Silence..."

His stern voice shut everyone’s voices and heard Mr Finn say," Since there is no legal proof that would claim that the picture is real, I won’t suspend Ashley’s contract.

I hope everyone’s behaviour towards her will remain the same as she the face of Dream Star," he declared and stood up, leaving the meeting hall.

Ashley had already predicted the CEO would favour her since he had known her as a person for a very long time.

She stood tall with her head and looked at the man who fumed in anger sitting at one corner of the table. She smirked before wearing back her sunglasses and walking out of the meeting, all with dignity.

Gorge slammed his hand on the table in his defeat to defame Ashley and walked out furiously, ignoring everyone.

Mr Finn’s Cabin

"May I come in Sir" Ashley knocked on the glass door before getting a nod from the old man.

Finn was Richard’s friend and treated Ashley as his child. The day she volunteered as one of the participants in the pageant competition, he had seen the potential in her to shine bright in the modelling world.

She wasn’t just beautiful but had a brain as sharp as a tack. She was witty, intelligent, and understood how things work in the industry.

She not only carried herself efficiently and won the competition with her mind-blowing answers.

He had met many girls who tried to get into the agencies through their family backgrounds, but Ashley wasn’t one of them. She didn’t use her father’s name to climb the ladder of success instead worked hard and became who she is now ’The Ashley Brown- The everlasting face of the modelling world.’

"You don’t have to take permission my child" Finn ignored her formal words and waved her to step in.

Ashley walked along with Miley and took the chair for herself while Miley stood behind her.

"I can’t informally speak with the CEO, or else there will be another scandal that would spoil my name and term me as a disrespectful woman.

Finn chuckled at her statement and nodded his head, agreeing to it.

"Sorry for again getting into a scandal. I’ve been giving you hard times" she genuinely felt bad because every time her name got involved in any news, the agency had to face the lash out of the audience.

Finn scoffed at herApologyy and smirked, "Apology accepted", Finn joked and looked at the young girl.

"How long do you plan to hide your marriage?" Finn’s sudden question surprised her, but she composed herself when she realized who the person to tell him was.

"If it wasn’t my decision to hide my marriage, dad would’ve probably declared it with a loud celebration" Ashley shook her head, thinking about her father being the person who couldn’t keep secrets.

"Then you must be knowing who I married," she asked and watched the old man nod his head.

"He is the most powerful man we can’t mess with," Finn said dramatically and saw her smile.

After talking with Finn for a while, Ashley bid goodbye.

She still didn’t sign any new modelling assignments as she wanted to spend time with her in-laws. She knew she would stay with them for only a short time before returning to her apartment. So, she wanted to spend as much time with them as possible.

Entering the elevator, Ashley’s phone buzzed, and she looked at the notification with a smile suddenly appearing on her face.

"Miley, you take back the car. I have to go somewhere," she said and walked out of the elevator, heading toward the parking area in the underground basement.

Reaching down, she searched around and found a familiar car. With a smile, she started walking toward the car and opened the door before stepping in, and the car soon left there.

Not too far from there stood a man hiding behind the pillar and watched the car drive away.

Gorge slammed his hand on the wall when he could see anything since the car had tinted glass.

"You can fool the CEO, Ashley, but you can’t fool me. I will surely expose your relation that you are trying to hide from everyone" his face twitched, and he turned, walking away from there.

Inside the car

Tristan watched Ashley ignore his sharp gaze and sit far away from him on the other side of the seat. She turned her head away from him as she watched out of the window.

’Is she now avoiding me’ he thought, watching her lack of attention towards him as if she was purposely trying to ignore him.

"Ahem..." he cleared his throat and watched her turn her head to finally face him.

Ashley looked at Tristan’s questioning face, and she understood the reason for his action.

"Do you need water?" she asked because she didn’t want to bring up the morning incident.

Tristan looked at her in disbelief when she couldn’t guess his action and acted dumb. His patience wore out, and he pulled her by her waist, making her sit on his lap.

"Tristan, what are you doing?" Ashley hissed after Tristan made her sit on his lap and look at the front seat.

"Put me down", she warned with her eyes holding anger in them.

"What if I don’t" Tristan wasn’t someone who was going to listen to her until he got what he wanted.

Ashley wriggled in his hold and looked at him in defeat," It’s awkward" her words made him look at the driver whose ear had turned red as he was dying in embarrassment.

Getting her words, he turned on the partition button blocking the view and turned to face her worried eyes," Now tell me why aren’t you talking with me?"

His words confused her, and she looked at him in a daze," Why would I do that?" she asked, and he sighed.

"I know you are purposely ignoring me, Ashley. I haven’t forgotten what happened in the morning" Tristan’s serious words made her gulp and pursed her lips.

"W-what happened in the morning? I don’t remember anything" she tried looking elsewhere, avoiding his sharp gaze.

She knew it all the way, which was why she tried to keep herself from initiating anything. She had done it before and knew Tristan never liked to be left hanging. But she did it again, and now she didn’t know what she had to do to make him forget about it.

"You don’t remember anything?" Tristan arched his brow and watched her nod her head.

He looked at her for a while before he said," Okay, then let me demonstrate it" as soon as his words left his mouth, Ashley felt her body freeze when his hand suddenly went towards her top. He slowly inserted his palm touching her skin, giving her a burning sensation, and she closed her eyes.

"Tristan", she called his name, feeling his hand move up slowly and stopping on her bosom.

"Did you remember now" his hoarse voice whispered in her ear, and she moaned, "Hmm..."

Tristan smirked and kissed her neck, slowly tilting her head to the side, sucking and nibbling her skin.

Ashley could feel the blood rushing through her veins as her body heated up with desire, and she couldn’t help by like it.

His hands kneaded her right breast, squeezing it like it was some softball.

"Tristan... we need to stop" even with the muddle thought, she still managed to tell him that they were inside the car.

What if the driver heard her moan? Just the thought made her feel shy, and her face turned red.

Her words made him stop, and he pulled away, looking into her flushed face, which had completely turned red in shyness.

Tristan had forgotten that they had been inside the car, and it had already stopped moving. Closing his eyes, he heaved out a sign and pulled out his hand from her top.

"We reached," he said, adjusting her cloth and hair and looking at her confused face.
