"Jasper." Said Shawn as he walked out of the room.
"Have you found out anything?"
"The surveillance video shows that Ashley went into LG Building at 4:52. Does she have any friend there? We can start from this aspect."
Several hours later, Jasper finally got some information from June and he had also got to know the hotel which Ashley checked in from the system. So he came to the hotel with his bodyguards, he found that Ashley was already asleep.
A knock on the door awakened Ashley. Since she was sleepy, she turned over in the bed and continued to sleep. But the knock on the door did not stop. Reluctantly and irritably, Ashley got out of bed, turned on the light, put on a thick bathrobe to protect herself from being exposed, and then walked to the door.
With a click, the door was unlocked. Holding the doorknob, she pressed it down. As the heavy door was opened, through her sleepy eyes, Ashley saw several bodyguards standing at the door with Jasper.
Ashley's sleepiness was gone immediately.
"Mr. Jasper! Why are you here? !"
Seeing Ashley standing there safe and sound, Jasper's regret was gone but was replaced by uncontrollable anger. He gritted his teeth and stared at the woman in front of him. "I should have asked you this question. What are you doing her in the midnight instead of staying home?"
Feeling wronged, Ashley knew it was best to comfort him, but she was a stubborn woman. Looking at an angry man, she said to Jasper, "You said you didn't want to see me. Why should I go back?"
"You!" Jasper puffed out a mouthful of air, unable to utter a word.
Ashley stood still inside the door without saying a word.
"Leave a car here, all of you go home!" Jasper turned back and said to his bodyguards.
"Yes, sir." The bodyguards were scared for a long time, afraid of being affected by the quarrel between the two people, they had long wanted to leave here. After hearing what Jasper said, they handed a car key to Jasper and left quickly.
However, Ashley still stared at him stubbornly, unmoved.
As soon as Jasper came in and slammed the door, Ashley's heart thumped wildly.
It was a kind of natural fear for violence she had never fought with a man who was in a towering rage. She couldn't imagine what Jasper would do next.
He moved forward to her, as if he could crush her in the next second.
"You seemed to have a good reason,"
Ashley didn't say anything, because she was stubborn and she was also afraid.
"Say something. Are you dumb?"
She got more frightened and didn't know what to say. She regretted taking the risk. She would rather take in the grievances by herself than face a man who was about to lose control. If there was room for her to retreat, she must retreat step by step. If there was a path to retreat here, she would run away without hesitation.
Her silence infuriated Jasper. He pinched Ashley's chin and forced her to look at him. "I'm asking you. Didn't you hear me?"
The man's face was as handsome as a picture, and his anger was so real that it made her feel afraid.
"I'm an adult. No one can restrict me. It's my freedom to live wherever I want to live." Ashley said, pushing Jasper away and walking inside.
"Freedom?" Jasper sneered, "Your freedom is given by me. Do you think you can be so capricious in this circle? Do you think you can change the schedule as you want if without me? Do you think you don't have to go out for dinner to earn a work opportunity..."
The man arrogantly described his own feats, and Ashley's dignity was completely crushed. She seemed to be completely naked in front of Jasper. This feeling made her angry and disgust!
However, her rationality still reminded her not to offend Jasper.
The tear between ice and fire torn her apart, making her fretful and unable to stay even for a moment to escape! With her back to Jasper, she held the desk in the bedroom, trying to suppress her emotions. "Yes, you are so great."
However, her praise didn't ease the atmosphere. On the contrary, it made things worse.
After Jasper heard these words, great anger flooded over him! He grabbed her arm and pulled her over to face him. "Say it again!"
"Come with me," Jasper implored.
Hearing this, Ashley was deeply touched. It was an undeserved catastrophe to her, and for some reason she was affected by the man's anger. But when she heard what she had said, she also felt sad and bitter. She hoped that Jasper had always been confident and proud, and she didn't want to see him like this.
She lowered her head and said nothing.
With her clothes in his hand, Jasper walked to Ashley and said, "Your arm is injured. Do you need my help?"
"No, thanks." Ashley turned around and gave the back of her head to the man.
Hanging his heart in the air, Jasper was relieved. She was willing to go back, so he put her clothes back to the couch. "I'll wait for you at the door. You can come out after when you pack up your goods."
The man's steps were slow and heavy. Looking at his back, Ashley felt very tired.
It took Ashley a while to get dressed because her arm was injured. She checked whether there was any belongs left in the room. Ashley opened the door and found that Jasper was still in the hallway, leaning against the wall and looking at the ceiling. Ashley managed her emotions. She looked at Jasper and said, "Ok, I'm ready."
Jasper turned to look at her and took her downstairs by the lift without saying a word. When Ashley went to the counter and checked out, Jasper stood silently not far away.
The girl who checked out for her was young. She got excited at the information about her ID card and exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh, it's you, Ashley. I'm your fan. Could you please sign for me?"
"Okay." With a professional smile, Ashley signed for the girl with a pen in her hand.
"Ashley, do you fall in love with Dylan? I think you two make a perfect match. Dylan's fans are just jealous of you. Just ignore them. We will be on your side." She patted herself on the chest.
Ashley smiled again. "Thank you. But Dylan and I are just friends."
The girl was a little disappointed. She looked at Jasper and asked, "Who is that man? He came to the hotel so late. Is he your boyfriend?"
Looking at the side figure of Jasper, Ashley shook her head and said bitterly, "No, he is my boss."
