Chapter 34 - His and her point of view

It is already night time when Ashley Perez arrived. It is very exhausting to travel two and a half days just to arrive at his brother's house. If only that Wang Lei did not spread those nasty rumors about her, she's probably in the Theavarian Empire right now and spreading her fame on the biggest empire in the world!

Living in Theavarian has been her dream ever since, going to the place of high technologies, high-quality of modern clothing, living on those luxurious condos and staying in at 5-star hotels! What a dream it is!

However, her modeling career started at Xaeba Empire, a monotonous place that does not have anything against romance, unlike Theavarian Kingdom who is very strict when it comes to those things.

"Those suckers" she mumbles, what's wrong with having feelings anyway?! That's the only bad thing about her dream Empire, having implemented strict rules in romance means that modeling career is not very much appreciated, she needs to work ten times harder if she wants to keep her fame when she gets there.

Zhang Yong, her driver slash assistant, stopped the car's engine.

"We are here Ashley," her meek assistant said, his braces slightly showing as he speaks.

She removed her sunglasses and rolled down her white car's window. They are indeed in the middle of the forest with her brother's house in front.

"Carry my luggage inside then you can go" she commanded him in her usual arrogant voice. Her secretary went out without further delay, he's already used to his employer's attitude, actually, it's one of the things Zhang Yong like about her, no fake smiles, no fake relationships.

A pair of high-end red stilettos stepped out from the white car. Her sunglasses on her head, she's wearing her favorite skimpy black dress, her signature red lipstick emphasized her luscious lips. Anyone who'd pass by would think that this goddess will go into a bar and that any man will be delighted to have her as a companion for that one cold night.

She knocks over the wood door, no answer.

She knocks again, now louder.

'Why is Ted not opening up, don't tell me he's already asleep?! Grr, that heavy sleeper!'

Her brother once asleep is very hard to wake up.

She knocks over and over.

What greeted her is a man, looking irritated with his brows furrowed and face unhappy.

He is taller than her even with the stilettos on, his masculine features and God, his sinful face!

His sharp charcoal eyes, long lashes, his perfectly sculpted eyebrows, his defined jawline, and those lips! Those reddish lips look so soft to touch and delicious to eat. She can literally feel the imaginary drool going down on her face.

Ashley Perez is beyond stupefied at the man's sudden appearance, she gulps down a few more times before finding the confidence to talk.

"H-hi," she said, tucking some of her long black hair behind her ear, acting shy and at the same time pure.

But she's tainted, everyone knows that she's a mess beyond repair, even herself knows that.

Ignoring her presence, the man started to turn his back at the newly arrived visitor as if the woman is not even worthy to his precious gaze.

His footsteps get further and further as he ascends the stairs.

Ashley's ears began to turn red from embarrassment, did she, Ashley Perez just got turned down by that man?!

'Well, It doesn't matter, the harder he turns me down, the more I like him' she said with a mischievous smile on, looking at the man's fading back.

But...since when did Ted managed to get a handsome man on his house?

It's impossible that they are a couple right?

or not?!

Zhang Yong finished putting all his master's luggage inside, but when he came back to bid his master goodbye, the lady is still standing on the front door, only when he spoke did her senses returned.

"Yes, you may go now, pick me up after a week," Ashley said, shooing her patient assistant.

The man can only sigh, when will this girl realize his feelings for her?

He nodded and went on his way still using Ashley's car.

He needed to work on some papers that night, aside from being her assistant he is, after all, the young master of the Zhang corporation.

A sad smile plastered on his face as he drove on the familiar road.

'Take care of yourself for me Ashley...'
