A bowl of hot onion noodles, sprinkled with fresh green onions on top, added a soft-boiled egg.

"You should try it."


"Don't you want to eat it?"

Ashley smiled and shook her head, then wiped her hands clean: "I ate it at the company." If she ate it again, it would be a waste of food.

The man finished the bowl of noodles, then put down the empty bowl he was holding: "It's delicious." He raised his head, looked at her, and said: "You're very thoughtful."


"There was a person who especially liked to eat onion noodles before, I thought, after learning to cook, I would cook for him."

"Then what?"


"Then... you're the first person to eat onion noodles cooked by me."

"What about you? Am I not the second person?"

"Me? After eating onions, my whole body itches, maybe it's because my body isn't suitable."

The man suddenly raised his head: 'You always call me young master, so do you know what my name is?"

'A guest is still a guest, what name, at most add a title before the word ‘young master'." What name, what surname, is it important to her?

The man's coffee-colored eyes lit up, and then he took out his wallet and took out a stack of money. "Exchange with you." As he spoke, he placed the stack of money in front of Ashley: "Remember my name, my name is Kane. This money is the money in exchange for you remembering my name."

Ashley looked at the stack of money in front of her... stunned.

Then, she raised her head to look at the man in front of her: "Just... remember your name?"

Since when, money, was so easy to earn?

Ashley still didn't understand, there were things, she didn't understand, but, if Meadow was here, she would understand.

Kane's coffee-colored eyes lit up, suddenly smiling: "Of course."

Impossible.

Just remember his name... this is the beast he is currently hunting for.

The name... is just the first step.

"It's getting late, I have to go." Kane stood up, he was tall, Ashley stood next to him, and she was a head shorter than him.




'Young Master Kane, I'll send you off…" Before she could finish her sentence, Ashley opened her eyes wide, her forehead was burning hot, suddenly, she reached out to push the person standing in front of her, one hand covered his forehead and kissed him: 'What are you doing?"

That new wound, the stitches had just been cut.

No, this wasn't the point, the point was… he could even kiss her lips, except for this impossible place.

Ashley's whole body trembled.

The unprecedented anger, her tense expression, betrayed everything about her.

Kane didn't answer but asked back, squinting and saying: 'Isn't this okay?"

No.

Of course not. She was so angry that her eyes were red, and she pointed hard at the door: 'It's late, Master Kane, please go home."

'I won't apologize to you." Kane's delicate chin was slightly raised, on his handsome face, full of arrogance. Turning around, when his long legs strode to Ashley's door, he stopped: 'If the wound is not treated, it will become infected."

The words were full of hidden meanings.

Ashley's red eyes looked at the man who gradually disappeared behind the door, her breathing was a little rapid, and his last words still echoed in her ears.

'What does it have to do with you?"

What does he know? How to cure it? Her current miserable, demonic condition, how to cure it? What to use to cure it?

The door was still open, Ashley took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, slowly stepped forward, grabbed the doorknob, and closed the door.

There was a loud noise outside the door, causing her to stagger two steps.

'Giselle?"

Outside the door, Giselle looked like a devil, 'Ashley, you hypocrite."

'You said you begged for me, have you begged? Do you want to appear sincere?

Ashley, the most dishonest person is you."

As soon as she entered the door, Giselle vented her anger.

'You have a relationship with the boss, right?

If you have a relationship with the boss, then why did you seduce another man, Elliot, and even that foreign man just now?

Look at my throat, listen, if you beg for help, why is my throat choking on water and bleeding like this? The doctor said, my throat will need a long time of treatment to heal, even if it heals, it will never return to its original state.

Didn't you say you would help me beg for forgiveness?

I begged you so earnestly, that I even bowed my head to admit my mistakes to you, but you acted like you would help me, but you did nothing.

Ashley, I have never seen a woman as hypocritical as you. So disgusting, pretending."

Ashley did not interrupt Giselle, her expression was expressionless, nor angry, her forehead was still hot, she slowly raised her hand to touch her forehead, and suddenly, she raised her eyes and looked at Giselle angrily, her voice hoarse: 'Aren't you still alive?"

'What do you mean?" Giselle stiffened, suddenly opened her eyes wide, and looked at Ashley in disbelief: 'Ashley. You still hope I will die?"

The shrill voice rang in her ears, Ashley smiled: 'Giselle, do you think you have to endure all this, because of me?"

'If it weren't for you, would I have become like this? Would I have been kicked out of Paradise Club?

Do you know how hard it is for me to work overtime to earn money to pay for tuition alone in a strange land? Do you know how difficult it is to survive?"

Ashley chuckled: 'Then you know, life is not easy. Giselle, if life is not easy, why do you have to trample on it?"

'You may not help me, but you agreed to help me apologize, but no, Ashley, if you don't want to help me, then why did you promise in front of me, you want to be a good person, pretend to be kind, want to receive my gratitude, but don't beg to help me.

Ashley, you are so despicable."
