Exclusive Memory novel Chapter 37

"Wow, Ashley, this is the first time I have seen you in a skirt. You look so beautiful!"

Ashley was embarrassed to look at them and she tidied up her hair. "Why haven't you gone back yet?" she asked

"Zoe and Morris are worried about you. They said they would go back after you left." Alice explained.

"Ashley, why do you dress up so beautiful? Are you going on a date?" Zoe leaned over and said, "Wow, you wear perfume too. There must be something fishy about it!"

Morris also looked over.

"No, we are just friends." Ashley waved her hands in a hurry and said, "I've been trained for a day so I can't go to dinner with sweat. So I changed my clothes. I used perfume to cover the smell of sweat."

They left with half-believe. Fortunately, they soon hailed a taxi. After saying goodbye to the others, Ashley got on the taxi and left.

The manager in Banquet Night Building was standing in the hall while the people in the building were singing and dancing, "Are you alone, miss?"

"No, I am looking for someone." Ashley smiled.

The lobby manager stepped back cannily to the other side of the room. Having been sitting on the second floor and observing what was going on at the door, Francis waved to Ashley when he saw her. Seeing him, Ashley walked upstairs.

She sat down, and Francis poured a cup of honey grapefruit tea for her.

"Do you train so late every day? Is there any break? "

Ashley throat was dry and scorching, so she took a few sips of tea, moistening her throat. "We have to train intensively for three months, and no rest day."

"What time does it start every day?"

"At nine o'clock in the morning, we have one hour rest at noon and one hour at dust."

Francis shook his head. "I've told you not to work in this industry. It was just too hard. But you ignored what I said."

"It proves that this is what I'm destined to do." Ashley smiled, "Let's eat something. I'm starving to death."

It seemed that they were back in love again. In a daze, Francis replied, "Okay. Waiter!"

The waiter came in with the menu.

Since they knew each other well, they didn't care about the inelegant way to have meal. Besides, they also ordered the food like braised pork feet with red pepper, braised pork feet with brown pepper, and then the braised pork cakes with yellow flower, two cups of ice candy and pear, and a dish of vegetable salad. The table was full of food.

Ashley, wearing disposable gloves, chewed pig's trotters and listened to Francis telling a play.

"This drama is about a female psychiatrist. She met a brother and a sister. The girl suffered metal illness, but she was a genius. And her brother was normal." While pouring tea to her, Francis continued, "They were not related biologically. They are stepbrother and stepsister from remarried family. When the female doctor treated her sister, she gradually fell in love with this brother. But unexpectedly, the girl also likes her brother. While the doctor treated the sister, she had a competition of wits and boldness with the sister. Finally the sister recovered and retreated from the competition. The doctor and the brother finally got married."

Taking a sip of tea, Ashley took off her gloves and took the script handed over by Francis. "It sounds interesting. Is the doctor the heroine of the play?"

"HM. this is the outline of the script. It's quite detailed."

"When will the play start casting?" Ashley looked down at the outline of the book.

"We are looking for a director at the moment. You take a look at the outline of the play first to check whether you are interested. If you feel that the outline is not detailed enough, I will take the script for you another day. As soon as the director is determined, we will start to decide actors, actress and scenery."

Ashley closed the script and put it in her bag. "I'll go back to have a good look and advise you by return."

"Okay."

"Any suitable man for the hero of the play?" Ashley took a bite of the yellow croaker.

"Dylan and several alternatives. We haven't decided yet."

As the party went on in Banquet Night Building, the room was filled with music. Ashley looked around and found that Francis barely ate. "Why don't you eat?" she asked

The man smiled and replied gently, "I ate very late. I'm not hungry now. Help yourself."

Ashley suddenly felt a sense of being spoiled. Her heart's defenses were shaken a little. She put down the chopsticks and took a sip of tea. "Then you have some. It's boring to eat alone."

"All right." Francis took a sip of the soup.

Ashley wore the gloves again. She picked up the stewed pork and continued to eat, while watching all the people in the Banquet Night Building. Then she noticed the place where Jasper often sat.

Ashley stared at the man and the woman inside. The woman wore a white sleeveless long dress, appearing to be graceful and charming. The man, though only a profile, looked like Jasper.

Ashley was in training period, and she didn't have rest day, so she was a bit confused the day. She thought for a while and it seemed to be Friday. It was the day Jasper dated with his girlfriend!

Just as she was thinking, the man seemed noticed that he was being stared by someone. He turned his head and looked over.
