Ashley said, "I did much better than you did."
"Ashley, I got a package delivered a moment ago. It was at the reception downstairs. Could you please help me with it?"
Ashley saw Amaia was busy with her work and replied, "Sure." She then went downstairs to look for the package.
Ashley didn't know if it was because of the statement she made to her colleagues last time, but now they weren't following her or trying to catch her attention. Though a few guys approached her from time to time, it appeared that she wasn't in the spotlight now.
She went downstairs to the reception counter and asked, "Hello. I come to pick a package for Amaia. The package tracking number is ended with..."
"All right. Wait a minute."
The receptionist smiled to her and went to get the package.
"Here is your package. Please sign here."
Ashley signed and said, "Okay, thank you."
"You are welcome."
Ashley picked up the package. Not knowing what was inside, it felt quite heavy.
A few people came to offer help in carrying the package for her but Ashley respectfully declined.
After the people left, Ashley carried the package upstairs.
Susie stepped into the gate of the Lu Group at this moment. She came to see Andrew and asked him something about Jeremy.
She had been going to the office frequently as of late, and the people knew her. They didn't try to stop her.
Susie spotted Ashley's back and wondered if it was her.
She wasn't sure and so she walked faster to catch up.
At this moment, Ashley happened to turn back and Susie saw her face. It was really Ashley! Susie's eyes widened and she briskly walked towards her.
She thought of the last time they met, her friend slapped her on the face and her brother took her side. Fury immediately surged up in her heart.
She ran up and blocked Ashley's way.
Ashley wasn't able to walk fast because of the heavy package, so Susie easily caught up to her and stood in front of her, effectively blocking her way.
Susie grabbed her arm and pulled Ashley hoping to stop her.
Ashley had to hold the package with only one hand because Susie was dragging her other arm. Susie was intent on stopping Ashley dead on her tracks.
She dragged Ashley's arm by force. Ashley was caught off-guard and couldn't hold the heavy package. The package then fell to the ground with a big thud.
"What are you doing?" Ashley couldn't help but get angry even if she was in good spirits earlier.
"Ha! It's really you, Ashley!" exclaimed Susie.
Ashley saw clearly who was dragging her arm. It was Andrew's sister, Susie.
She frowned and asked Susie, "What do you want?"
Ashley didn't like Susie, and the feeling was mutual for Susie.
'She looks so cheap. How could she match Andrew? What's even more outrageous is that Andrew treats her so nicely!'
"What do I want? What if I want nothing?" snarled Susie.
