Chapter 25 CH 25: Protect Me

Anne was moving her lips to speak but not sure what to say. Her eyes were looking down on her hands that are playing with the hem of her skirt. 'Come on, Anne. Think of something. Say something. Think.. Think.. Think..'

"Well? Cat got your tongue, Honey?" Ashton asked with a smirk on his face.

"I.. I don't know.. w-what you are talking about?" Anne said in a tone like a scared little mouse. 'Shit! I'm screwed. Don't look into his eyes, Anne. Those eyes will eat you'

She turned the other way looking out from her side window.. hoping she can come up with a genius answer. But, his presence is making her so nervous.

Seeing her at her weakest point, Ashton laughed out loud. "Brilliant, Scarlet. I knew I could count on you"

Anne was lost for words. She has no clue on why this hot crazy man seated next to her suddenly praised her. But, seeing him in this jovial mood is something Anne is not going to ruin the moment.

So, she decided to play along.
