Chapter Thirteen

Ashley jerked upright when she heard the door open behind her. She saw Greg walking out with that handsome guy again, Davis. She wondered what relationship they had, he didn't have any appointment with Greg today, but she hadn't made a fuss and called Greg instead. Mainly because Davis was just too charming.

"Bye, Ashley, See you soon I guess," Davis said walking to her desk and shaking her hand but not before throwing a mischievous look towards Greg. This made her blush, like when did she become a sucker for hot guys... Well since she met Greg. She heard Greg groaning behind Davis.

"Davis I think it is about time you left, right?" Greg said sounding a little bit furious.

"Okay, Mr grumpy," Davis said and this made her laugh. He left for the private elevator and as soon as he left Greg walked back into his office and she followed him in out of curiosity.

"What do you want, Ashley?" Greg asked now seated at his desk.

She walked up to his desk and smiled slowly. "How is Nora? You looked really worried last night." She asked this mostly out of curiosity and a little bit of worry.

"Ashley, I might want to bend you over my desk now and ravish your body like never, but that doesn't mean I'm comfortable talking about Nora with you," he said without any emotion on his face.

She had never seen someone employ the deadpan look so we'll.

"I am sorry," she hastened to say because she really was. She didn't have any right to probe him and although his words had hurt a little, she really wasn't in the position to be angry at him.

"So Ashley what did you do to my Consommé after my departure last night?" he queried. She was shocked because she didn't expect him to ask about food.

"Why are you asking me about the Consommé all of a sudden?"

"What! Did you and your friend eat it up."

"No!" Why would he think so? They weren't gluttons, even though Chloe had grown to love Consommé. "I kept the leftover in the fridge."

"Really?" He asked with a smile appearing on his beautiful features. "Then can I come over and eat it?" He sounded enthusiastic.

Ashley gave him a look that suggested that he was high on something.

"What can I do, I haven't really eaten anything reasonable in ages, and it was a dish I helped prepare, have you got a problem with that," he defended himself.

"Actually no... You never ask for my permission before showing up at my house, so I really don't know why you are asking me now," she said.

"Well, that must imply that I'm always welcome, so do I get an extra key?" Greg asked with a coy smile on his handsome face.

"Extra key... You're really one of a kind."

"How do you expect me to get into your house whenever you are not around."

"You won't be getting in when I'm not around, because you have no reason to be there," she deadpanned.

"Wow you make it sound like I only have to come there for you," he asked with a grin.

"Then will you be coming over to see Chloe," she said in a matter of fact tone.

"Yeah, that is true, but still anything could happen. What if it is an emergency and Chloe isn't there to save you, and you happened to have locked your door, the extra key could come in handy." He shook his hand over his face, trying to mimic the movement of jingling keys, this actually had her smiling. He gave her a boyish grin which made him look like an high school kid.

"You are twenty six and you whine like a six years old," Ashley said with a chuckle.

"How do you know I'm twenty six?" Greg asked curiously. And right then, the colour drained from her face, what will she tell him?

"I saw it online," She lied.

"Ohh, so you searched about me, dear old miss wells."

"Well I am your secretary, and there are some things I should know," Ashley said.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night," he said, shrugging with a bright enough smile on his face. "So about my dish?"

"You can come over, how about today before Chloe decides to..."

"Today will be fine, I will drop you and Chloe home," he said eagerly, which made her wonder when last he actually had a decent meal.

"Okay, I will let her know," she said and left his office, trying to hide the slow smile that was now spreading across her face.

"I do look forward to that dish, Ashley Wells." She heard him say behind her as she headed out of his office.

Ashley knowing Greg didn't bother to give him a reply, all she did was shake her head and leave, that smile now widespread.

She messaged Chloe when she got to her desk and Chloe replied immediately.

"Awesome, I told you he is into you."

Yeah, and here she goes again with all of her romanticized conspiracy theories.

"No, he isn't."

"Why else will he want to come over AGAIN?"

"Well, for his delightful Consommé."

"Excuse me, he can easily order it from some restaurant, he is just seeking an excuse to be with you, and what good is a left over dish?"

There was a point in what Chloe said, but still it doesn't make sense, Greg can't be interested in her. Yes he wanted her but, the whole emotional shit was out of it.

"Chloe you are delusional," she replied.

"What! you also said that he wanted you as much as you wanted him, he said so himself."

"Well sexually."

"And who cares, you act like you don't enjoy it..."

Ashley wouldn't deny it, a part of her did enjoy it greatly, a crazy part of her that she should slammed shut and put in a cave to rot for thousand of years.

Because this was insane.

"Whatever."

Ashley replied and dropped her phone, she was really giving up on Chloe now.
