Obviously, these words were not meant for me.
Soon after that, Nora’s voice came over on the line. “What did you say to him just now? Why is he so angry?”
I curled my lips and said, “I thought he was messing with you, so I gave him a piece of my mind. Anyway, enough about that guy. I was just calling you to tell you that I wanted to stay at your house tonight. Tell me the password so that I can at least have a place to sleep.”
She sighed, “What happened? Did you quarrel with Ashton? Weren’t you guys at A City for work purposes?”
In one breath, she asked so many questions that I felt dizzy.
Drawing in a deep breath, I replied, “We’re here on a business trip. Just give me the password already. I’m outdoors, and it’s freezing.”
“The password’s my birthday. But what happened between you both? Why did you quarrel?”
I was not in the mood to talk much, so I hung up the phone hastily after thanking her. After that, I called a cab and went to her place, which I had visited before. That was why I knew the address.
As soon as I reached her place, a stale odor came wafting to my nostrils. I guessed it was probably because she had not been home for quite a while.
While I was tidying up, my phone kept ringing. I took a look at the screen and saw that it was Ashton, so I did not answer. Instead, I turned my phone off instantly. One could say that this is unnecessary, but that is just how I am.
After all that, I lay on the bed with my restless thoughts, unable to fall asleep. After a while, the doorbell rang. I was taken aback at first, but then I guessed that Ashton had probably found me.
Thus, I got up to check, and it was indeed him. However, I just ignored him and pretended not to hear anything. Then, I went back to the bedroom to rest, but I underestimated how determined and stubborn this man could be.
Bang! With just a few kicks, he had broken down Nora’s door. When I saw him in the bedroom, I was so angry that I threw the pillow at him and shouted, “Get lost, Ashton! Get out right now!”
He caught the pillow and looked at me. “I’m not the one at fault today!”
