Ashley didn't come till Jasper wait until 9:10pm.
Seeing it was late, he had to go home to coax Nelson to sleep. So he picked up his cell phone and found Ashley's number. He looked at the phone number for a while, hesitated, and finally called her.
On the way back to the city, Ashley was in a trance, completely forgetting the appointment she had made with Jasper, and her mind was full of Dylan's confession of love to her.
Her phone in the bag rang. Sitting in the back seat, she was startled by the sudden ringing.
The driver had been quiet all the way. Ashley was not in the mood that tonight, so after she picked her up, she didn't say much. Seeing that the woman from the rearview mirror was still covering her chest to calm herself down, he finally could not help but remind her, "Miss Ashley, your mobile phone is still ringing. Would you like to answer it first?"
"What? Oh, thank you. " She was absent-minded. Reminded by the driver, she realized that she hadn't answered the phone. She opened the zipper and took out her mobile phone. It was from Jasper. It suddenly occurred to her that she had agreed to go home with him.
"Oh, shit!" Looking at the ringing phone, she thought quickly about how to respond to Jasper's questioning.
Seeing from the rear-view mirror, the driver could not help but feel a little worried for Ashley. "Miss Ashley, you'd better answer the phone as soon as possible. The ring is about to end."
This was a real headache. She put her hands on her forehead, thinking why did all things happened together.
"Hello, Mr. Jasper." She slid the answer button and put the phone near her ear, "Sorry, I'm still on my way. I came back late from work this afternoon. Are you still in the office?"
Jasper was speechless and helpless. He said, "Don't come to the office. Let the driver take you home. I will leave now."
Ashley looked at the phone and felt depressed.
It was nearly ten o'clock when she returned to Zhan family. When she entered the villa, she was still greeted by darkness, except for the lights above the stairs. Ashley sighed heavily. She and Jasper would be embarrassed again.
The door of the study on the second floor was opened. Jasper walked out. Looking at the person downstairs, he said, "Come in. Let's have a chat."
Upon hearing this, Ashley widened her eyes in surprise. Judging from the tone of Jasper, she could tell that he was not angry, so she regained her vigor immediately. "Mr. Jasper, are you angry with me?"
