Biting her lips, Ashley was ashamed and angry. She blushed and felt ashamed. Her previous nervousness faded like a tide. She tried to keep her yes from him. After that, she found that she was useless. 'He just ignored you. There are so many people who don't want to see you and so many people scold you. Why are you so angry?'
With these thoughts in her mind, she walked towards his desk with the usual playful smile on her face. She sat on the opposite chair. "Mr. Jasper, why do you brush me off?"
"What are you doing here?"
She came to apologize, but she couldn't say directly, "I know you peeped at me and Francis. I want to tell you it was not true. Don't be angry. I'll break up with him soon." This expression was very testing.
Ashley said half-jokingly, "I come to see you. I miss you because I haven't seen you for a long time."
As soon as she entered the room, Jasper's face turned capricious. Perhaps he was frightened by Ashley. He broke the way he looked when she first entered the room, but he still frowned and said with disgust. "Don't be so unserious as Flora."
Hearing that, Ashley's face turned a little pale. She secretly clenched her fist and said, "I like Flora. She is an easy-going person."
"I heard that somebody praised me," Half-opening the door, Flora smiled at him through the crack.
"Close the door and stay away from my office!" Jasper demanded through gritted teeth.
Flora curled her lips and reluctantly took back her foot that had reached in and closed the door. With the sound of door closing, the office fell into silence, and the pressure spread from the place of Jasper to all directions, with Ashley in the center of the source, lowering her head and not daring to breathe.
Calmness was just the prelude to the storm.
Just as she was waiting for being scolded, the scorching sight above her disappeared. "Why don't you shoot today?"
'I've been waiting for such a long time. He just asked such a tangential question!' "We have finished shooting. The crew will change the shooting spot today. The actors have a day off. I will go to the new site to film at night," replied Ashley after a careful consideration
"Since you're not busy with the filming, why don't you try other movies? Don't always do something meaningless."
Hearing what he said, Ashley blushed. She knew what he meant clearly.
"You look energetic today. I'll arrange other activities for you. You can go and do some work before you finish the shooting,"
Ashley, "..."
'Was it because he failed to persuade her break up with Francis, so he turned to arrange working for her?' In case that she spent all her time in working and she wouldn't have time in flirting with Francis.
"Do you have any comments?" seeing Ashley was hesitating to reply, Jasper asked.
She had no objection, instead, she was very glad to do that. Since that night, every time when Ashley met Francis, she couldn't get used to his touch, and she felt guilty to him. She was worried that she couldn't find an excuse to avoid him. Now that Jasper arranged so many works for her, she was happy to dodge Francis, and besides, she could make more money.
"No, I don't." She shook her head and said the words she had just prepared to say, "Mr. Jasper, I'm sorry to keep you worrying about my relation with Francis. I will break up with him as soon as possible. Don't worry."
"Oh, really?" Jasper didn't take her words seriously. She had said it several times, but he didn't see she and Francis break up, instead their relation was closer. He couldn't believe what Ashley said. "How soon?"
How long? 'Very soon. As long as Sheila and Ethan were healthy, it would take Sheila one or two months to get pregnant. If lucky, it would only take 10 to 15 days. When Sheila was pregnant, that woman would pester Francis for a few days. Then she would say the baby was Francis' Once the conspiracy succeeded, according to Sheila's temper, she would surely make the whole world know this news. At least she would let Ashley know.'
By then, she would be able to finish her relationship with Francis by any excuses, either Francis having a foot in two camps, or she letting their romance bring a happy ending.
Ashley calculated the time and answered, "one or two months. I will find an opportunity as soon as possible."
Jasper was satirizing her for not keeping her promise, so he didn't expect Ashley give her the exact time. From this, he could see that she really wanted to end their relationship, which made him less angry. He rubbed his forehead and sighed, "Both you and Flora have a mess in your private life. I hope you can make me feel less worried."
His eyes were dull dark blue, indicating that he hadn't had a good sleep recently. Ashley was worried about him, but she knew that she didn't have the right to care him too much, so she could only say again, "Don't worry, Mr. Jasper."
Jasper waved at his and said, "It's okay. You can go out now."
Ashley stood up and was about to go to the door, but was stopped by Jasper. "Wait, when will you begin shooting the night scene?"
Confused, she answered, "ten o'clock."
