Ashley went home and broke the news to Tracy. Tracy was very happy for her, she couldn't believe that Ashley could take the bold step of getting her job back. "So what about Clara the receptionist?""Hmm, that one was shocked. At first, she gave me an attitude and asked if I had an appointment with her boss and I told her yes. She said I should wait, that her boss was busy, and besides he never mentioned having any visitors""What, you mean she said that?""Just hold on let me finish. I understood that she was trying to insult me. I didn't make it look as if I was happy to be called to resume work. I had to leave her there and walked straight to his office and of course, she was following me and trying to stop me but I never cared""Good! I love that" "I knocked and opened the door, she was shocked that her boss stood up and came to hug me at the entrance door. She even tried to question him but he shut her up and embarrassed her in my presence" "Interesting!" "He had to let her k
The next morning, Tracy woke up very early because she was going back to her base. Ashley was not happy that Tracy was going to leave her all alone in the house. "Why is your face like this?""I am not happy that you are leaving. How can I stay here all alone by myself?""But you have been living alone. Why is this one different?" "Hmmm, I just feel that I need someone around me. You encouraged me this weekend if not I would have made the costly mistake of working under Susan" Tracy smiled. "Don't worry, I understand that feeling especially now that you are an expectant mother. I promise to come back this weekend again"Ashley brightened her face. "But what exactly is in that company of yours that you can't find in any company over here?""You mean I should get a job here?""Exactly!""Hmmm, you are making sense but you know my parents also live there""And so you want to keep on staying in the family house? You need to start staying on your own and let them get used to your abs
Ashley's boss was very shocked to see that she tidied up the leftover work. He promised to pay her for the job at the end of the day. Clara was very ashamed of herself when the boss invited her inside the office to show her that the work was already done by someone pregnant talk more of her that was single without a man.Ashley didn't say anything when the boss was scolding Clara. Instead, she made a statement that got Clara surprised. "Boss, why are you getting yourself worked up over Clara's laziness? Why don't you find a competent hand for this job? You need people that will build this company to a greater height" Clara's eyeballs nearly fell off their sockets as she widened her eyes in shock. She wondered how Ashley would make such a statement. Was that how much Ashley hated her? Does she want to throw her out of the company? "Well, you are right but I am going to watch her for some time to know if she will change. If she doesn't change, then I will get her fired" Clara didn'
Ashley decided to stop at the mall to get a few things for herself. She was really in need of snacks while at work but there was nowhere to get them. As she was picking a few things at the counter, she saw a man that looked like her dad. Ashley had to hide in a place to get a closer view of who she saw and behold that was her father. "What is he doing here? Could he be the one that Tracy saw in Susan's former house? Has he finally relocated to this place?" She asked no one in particular.She lost every appetite to shop for anything and had this urge to throw up. Ashley ran outside the mall and threw up immediately. Someone rushed up to her and offered her a tissue to clean her mouth. "Thank you""Are you alright?""Yes, I am fine" She had to board a taxi and went home. Ashley began to feel weak and her temperature was very high. Her whole system changed. She tried to manage it but it was becoming too much that she was also shivering. Luckily for her, Tracy called her phone and sh
Ashley was not happy seeing Rex and also lying to her friend. She thought it was going to be better to say it right in front of him because she was with the evidence incase he denies it but she had to wait for another day. "Ashley dear, I am so sorry about your health. I never knew that I was going to see your friend" Ashley didn't utter a word. She just pretended to be extremely. The nurse arrived and began to give her the necessary treatment. "Nurse, what exactly are you treating?" "Uhmm, sorry about that. She needs rest as an expectant mother. Her blood is fine, including the sugar level""That means I don't have any issue""Not at all. I just want to make sure that you regain more strength" The nurse started her treatment and soon Ashley fell asleep. Rex later left Tracy and the nurse. When the nurse left, Tracy had to ask Ashley the reason why she didn't reply to Rex but she claimed that she was tired. "I know you too well but you didn't seem to be happy when you saw him,
"What could be the problem? Your faces are not looking bright" Tracy had to put a smile on her face. "Rex nothing is happening. Just relax" Rex had to relax and wait for them to tell him the reason why he was invited. "Rex, I called you here to tell you that I am no longer interested in this relationship" Rex stood up in shock. "Why? Have I done anything wrong?""You haven't done anything wrong but I am so disappointed in you. I don't know that you have been fooling me all these while" "How?" Rex looked at Ashley with a confused look."You are asking me how? When you came here telling my friend that you loved her, were you out of your mind?""Come on, are you joking or what? You know I can't do that" "Really? But she told me everything" Rex turned to Ashley. "You are a wicked soul. How could you lie to your friend like this just because you are jealous of our relationship? I don't blame you. Who would marry a lady carrying a child that she doesn't know the whereabouts of th
After the call, Ashley's mood was brightened and she went back to work. Clara could sense the change in Ashley's mood but didn't want to ask her about it so she faced her work. Immediately after working hours were over she packed up her things, as she was leaving she smiled at Clara and waved to her, and headed home. Tracy looked around for jobs but couldn't find any and decided to go back home. When she got back, Ashley was already home. But she noticed that Ashley was so happy and asked her what happened. Ashley told her that Alex was happy when they spoke and he remembered who she was. And at that moment her phone rang and she talked to Alex on the phone. The both of them were so happy to hear from each other. Ashley asked Alex whether he was with another woman or married but he replied that he was still single and was happy to hear from her after the last time they met. Then Ashley said she wanted to tell him something and Alex was all ears ready to listen to what Ashley was a
Ashley knew the bold step she took in calling him would bring smiles to his face but she wasn't certain if he was going to love the news. She was really scared because, from her observation during the phone call, he wasn't sounding excited. He was just neutral and talked normally. She hoped that he would call her when he gets home.That phone call brightened her mood and she worked with smiles on her face and forgot the time for closing hour. When she checked her wristwatch, it was time. Ashley started arranging her table and her bag. She touched her face with some powder and stood up from her seat. She couldn't tell if it was because of the call that made her change her walking steps. She was seeing herself as Alex's woman whereas he hadn't said anything to her yet nor had they discussed intimately. When she got home, she knocked but no one responded. "Is she inside or she went out?" Ashley checked where the key was kept and if anyone was around and found it. It was obvious that
