Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 271

Ashley's fans were shocked when the news dropped about her comeback.

Some of them even stood outside of the Gibson Corporation with lightboard signs held up high for Ashley.

"Ashley! We love you."

"Ash, we'll love you forever!"

Ashley finally felt relieved by the fans' screaming and shower of love.

Ashley entered the company building after getting out of the car.

This time, she came back with her head held up high as the future Mrs. Gibson of the Gibson Corporation.

"Ms. Long, are you feeling better? It's been a long time."

"Ms. Long, you're getting more and more beautiful."

Almost all the staff were sucking up to Ashley. After all, only Henry possessed enough resources for Ashley to make such a comeback.

But what they didn't know was it was Samuel who actually had a hand in all that for Ashley. Not Henry.

"Ms. Ashley, Mr. Gibson is in a meeting. He asked you to wait for him in the office."

"You're... Mr. Gibson." Ashley glanced at the person speaking and realized that Henry's assistant was no longer Cecilia.

"Ms. Marston is now Mr. Taibbi's assistant."

Ashley smiled warmly. "Henry cares about me after all," she thought.

Ashley remembered how Cecilia disrespected her.

"Ms. Ashley, I'm so jealous of you. You're not only beautiful but popular and famous as well. You're the perfect match for Mr. Gibson." The new assistant was really skilled at flattery, which pleased Ashley.

"Thank you."

"You're the epitome of the word flawless! Mr. Gibson is really lucky to have you," the assistant continued to praise.

Ashley's body stiffened for a moment, but she maintained the smile on her face.

"Please wait here for Mr. Gibson. I'll get you a cup of coffee." The assistant left the office.

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and got up to look around Henry's office.

She quietly opened Henry's drawer, and Ashley saw a jewelry box inside.

She recalled how Henry reprimanded her after she stole Josie's jewelry.

"It wouldn't be wrong to take a peek if Henry's going to give it to me anyway, right?"

Ashley opened the jewelry box and found a diamond ring inside.

Ashley was so excited that she almost shouted.

"Is Henry going to propose to me? Oh my god, I'm so happy that I think I'm going to faint."

Ashley felt everything was a little surreal due to the sudden onslaught of happiness.

"I wish I could always be this happy forever and ever..."

Ashley carefully took out the ring and put it on her index finger, but it was a little small for her, so she had to squeeze it in.

Ashley raised up her hand and admired the ring happily. "It's so beautiful. Well, Henry always has good taste. I wonder when Henry's going to propose to me."

Ashley reluctantly put the ring back into the jewelry box.

She told herself to patiently wait for Henry to surprise her with the proposal.

Then, Ashley took a deep breath and walked over to the window.

"Things are finally falling into place for me. All that I had been through was worth it. I hope Henry will love me forever," thought Ashley.

Both Ashley and Henry were abandoned by their parents.

They were left to fend for themselves in the orphanage.

"I just want to live a good life and work my way up. Is that so wrong? No, it's not wrong for me to get rid of those who get in my way. It's the same for Zachary and Hazel. They shouldn't blame me for being ruthless when it's their own fault for getting in my way."

Henry pushed the door open and asked with a smile, "Ashley, how was the press conference today?"
