“You don’t know about this?” Emery was taken aback but quickly explained after realizing that there had to be something going on. “I only got to know from the club’s employees. It’s been three days since she left. She didn’t say anything else other than she was going overseas.”
Upon hearing that, I could not help but let out a sigh. Perhaps the memories are too hard for her to bear. Thus, she wants to take a break from reality.
However, it was unsafe for a woman to be alone overseas. Therefore, I quickly asked Ashton, “Can you ask Holden to send his men to find Summer?”
Without answering, he stood up and walked to the balcony to make the phone call.
Emery noticed the strange atmosphere and asked, “What happened to him? Is it about Summer?”
It looks like Ashton’s ability to conceal his emotions had deteriorated for even Emery to find out.
I shook my head and hoped Emery to give some advice. “Nathaniel brought an old friend from J City two days ago. Since then, Ashton started to behave weirdly. It’s as if the old friend has dirt on him. Do you think that’s possible?”
“Who’s dirt? Ashton’s?” Emery immediately shook her head. “No way. No one in this world can be an opponent to him.” She stopped for a moment before tip-toeing to me and whispering, “Perhaps the sex is not going so well for you two?”
I rolled my eyes in exasperation. “Let’s get back to the topic.”
However, Emery simply shrugged and replied placidly, “I don’t have a clue, then. Nobody can guess what Ashton is thinking about.”
I know that. However, I don’t want to give up and admit that I’m useless. Despite my strong will, there’s nothing I could do other than pray that Ashton could overcome it himself.
After a pause in the conversation, Emery asked about Benson. “Why was Benson here today?”
