Ashley blinked her eyes awkwardly and distanced herself from him secretly.
"Honey, I'm really busy today. You know, I've just transferred Kate to you. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with. I'll be busy until the new secretary takes up. Please forgive me."
She rarely acted like a spoiled child in front of him. She had always been arrogant and reserved, but at this time, the heart of Jake had been filled with heat. There was nothing he could do if Ashley didn't go out with him.
"All right. Work hard but don't make yourself too tired. Let's have dinner together next time." Jake patted her on the shoulder and wanted to hug her. Seeing her dodging, he frowned slightly and said nothing. He turned around and went out silently.
As soon as the door was closed, Ashley stopped smiling, but full of disgust. She felt that the place touched by Jake began to shiver.
The sound of starting the car's engine came from downstairs. With her fingers shrinking, she walked to the French window and looked down. As soon as he sat down on the driver's seat and fastened the safety belt, Kate trotted over in high heels.
She didn't know what they were talking about, but he seemed a little unhappy. And he looked up at her office upstairs.
Taking a step back, Ashley found that Kate had already sat on the passenger seat. She leaned over and kissed him. It took a long time for the car to drive on the road.
This shameless couple had done such a thing under her nose for a long time. It must be very exciting.
Oh, how stupid and naive she was to believe them in the past. Ashley clenched her hands, took a deep breath, and took out her phone.
"They have already left the company. Keep up with them. As long as you could handle this, the payment will be doubled."
The car was running on the road. With a complacent look on her face, Kate fiddled with her hair from time to time and winked at him.
"Jake, you were too cautious today. You didn't even wait for me to get off work."
The cold wind at night did not dispel the impatience and heat in his heart.
"She is abnormal today. First, she changed her style, and then she asked you to come to me. If she finds out something, everything will be gone."
Kate curled her lips and sneered, "What are you afraid of? Let her know. Whatever. I want her to know it. Don't forget, as long as the project with the Lu group is started, she will soon know what is called being isolated and helpless. Jake, the Ji group is yours, and so am I."
She slowly moved her legs to his calf through the suit pants.
The car screeched to a halt on the side of the road. Jake pulled off his neckties, holding Kate in his arms, and kissed her.
They didn't notice that an inconspicuous car was also parked on the opposite side of the road. A man wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses was taking a series of photos with a camera.
Tinkle!
Ashley's mobile phone vibrated. She picked it up and glanced at it with her eyes flashing. When she opened it, all kinds of explosive photos came into view.
Different from the anger and thrill when she just knew that the two people had an affair, now she only felt ironic.
It would be fine if the two of them were together. If they told her that she still respected them aboveboard, but they didn't. Instead, they had been using her without telling her for a long time. She couldn't bear it!
"I need more information. Go on. Don't let me down." A voice message from Ashley broke the silence in the office.
The storm had just begun
Ashley didn't want to go home at first. The villa couldn't be called her own home, but there were some things she had to arrange slowly. She had to go back.
Late at night, the villa was quiet. After parking the car and opening the door, Jessie sat on the sofa in the living room, eating chips and watching the late-night Korean drama. Seeing her come back, she began to sneer at her again.
"You're not at home every day. People who don't know you might think you're successful. You're relying on my brother. Do you have a conscience to spend my brother's money outside?"
Oh, it's just a joke. What's wrong with her? The villain complained first?
For so many years, she didn't believe that his mother and sister hadn't noticed what he had done outside. She was the only one who was foolishly kept in the dark.
She didn't want to talk to a lazy woman like Jessie. Without her, the Ji family would have been living on air for a long time. She had done with the oppressive life. Just wait and see. Your happy days would come to an end!
Seeing that she ignored her and went upstairs, Jessie was so angry that she threw away the chips. "Why are you so arrogant? I'll tell my brother later!"
While they were talking, Jake came back with a smell of alcohol. The collar was slightly red, and his face was full of fatigue after being satisfied.
Jessie went up and held his arm. "Brother, look at her. She doesn't talk to me or care about you. She's getting more and more unreasonable."
Jake Looking over, Ashley didn't stop for him at all. She went upstairs, pushed the door back to the room, and closed it fluently. The two of them were left to "talk" downstairs.
"Ashley is tired of working overtime these days. Let's take it easy." Jake was well decorated.
Jessie let go of him, rolled her eyes up, and went back to watch her Korean drama. "Isn't she supposed to be busy? She eats and drinks our food. Ji family doesn't raise idle people, not to mention a hen that doesn't lay eggs!"
She said this on purpose to let Ashley, who was upstairs, hear it.
Ashley didn't get angry at all. She thought it over and felt lucky that she didn't have a son or a daughter. Otherwise, the situation would be a little difficult to deal with now.
After a while, when Jake went upstairs, he heard the sound of water from the bathroom. He turned around and went to the next room to take a shower. He couldn't wait for Ashley to come out. There was the smell of Kate on his body
Nothing happened the whole night. He didn't see her the second day when he got up. He put on his clothes and rushed to the window. Seeing that his car was still parking well, he scratched his hair and continued to lie down with a sigh of relief.
Ashley looked at him in the surveillance video and sneered. He was afraid that she would go to his car to find evidence. He had underestimated her.
Today, she wore a silk down shirt, which perfectly exposed the delicate skin around her neck. She wore a khaki skirt, simple and elegant, with light and real makeup and delicate hair, making everyone unable to take their eyes off her.
"Miss Chu, you look so beautiful these days."
"Yes, today is different from yesterday. It's so beautiful!"
Hearing everyone's praise, Ashley walked into the elevator and came to her office.
Kate had been transferred. Her new secretary hadn't taken up yet, and no one had reminded her that Lucas was in her office. When she entered the office, she thought she had come to the wrong place.
She took a step back to check the sign on the door. It was indeed her office. She slowed down her pace and walked in.
"Mr. Lu?"
When she saw Lucas again after the hotel incident last time, she felt a little embarrassed and tried to keep a safe distance from him.
