Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 269

Around ten in the morning, Ashley and Joseph followed Paul to the National Museum.

Paul pointed to the crowd before and explained, "Over there is the visitor's entrance to the museum, which is visited by many tourists every day. We'll go in through the special channel here. It'll take about ten minutes to get to the restoration team's office."

Joseph was extremely surprised for a while. This special channel is not allowed to be used by ordinary people. In other words, only senior officers could go through it.

Paul had led them through the special channel for the fake of Ashley.

Joseph was happy to bask in Ashley's reflected glory.

Joseph stared at Ashley with admiring eyes and decided to ride her coattails from now on.

Just when they almost reached the restoration team, Paul suddenly received a call with an anxious expression, as if something had happened.

Paul hung up the phone and hurriedly said to Ashley, "Ms. Ramos, something happened at the museum. I have to go over there and deal with it right away. I'm really sorry. The house in front is the studio of the ancient painting restoration team. Please rest in with Mr. Fox first, and I'll be back soon."

Ashley understood the urgency of what had happened at the museum and immediately nodded. "It doesn't matter. Take your time, please."

Paul left in a hurry to deal with urgent matters, leaving some instructions.

Ashley and Joseph walked to the restoration team's studio. It was a spacious and bright room with a dozen restorers gathered in it, but it seemed not crowded.

Ashley looked around and unexpectedly found Charlie in the crowd.

Before Ashley met Charlie, Charlie caught glimpses at Ashley of the door and wondered why Ashley showed up there, even followed by Joseph.

Ashley was indeed the master of landscape oil painting, Aurora. But she had no idea about cultural relic restoration and was no help at all.

"Ashley!" Simon in the crowd noticed Ashley's figure at this moment and immediately greeted her with surprise. "Ashley!"

Ashley was also surprised and greeted. "Mr. Hunt."

She didn't expect to meet Simon here.

Simon held the Skyward Art Exhibition some time ago and invited Ashley to attend. At that time, everyone learned about Aurora's real identity as Ashley. At the exhibition, Simon said he and Ashley's grandfather had been friends for many years.

The others didn't feel surprised at Ashley and Simon's close relationship, and they were just confused at Ashley's presence here.

Simon wore a suit, walked over energetically, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here, Ashley?"

Ashley answered truthfully, "Mr. Walker took me here."

Hearing Ashley's words, Charlie's eyes widened instantly in shock. He wondered if Paul personally took Ashley here.

He had a bold guess in mind.

Simon stroked his gray beard and laughed heartily. "I didn't expect Paul to invite you here, Ashley. But Paul invited me over, too. As a painter, I have no idea about restoration, let alone help."

His description amused the others present.

A restorer wearing glasses said, "How modest you are, Mr. Hunt! You have such a deep understanding of ancient paintings and have held so many exhibitions. Perhaps you can give us some valuable advice on the restoration."

Simon joked with them for a while, then took Ashley to the side and whispered, "I heard about you and Charlie. Don't worry. I'll back you up here. He won't dare to bully you with me around."

Ashley was touched and grinned. "Thank you, Mr. Hunt."
