But… how could this be?

"Don't move." With a cold command, Ashley sat more seriously, not daring to move even a little.


There was only the sound of the fan blowing, in this bedroom, there was no other sound.

"It's done."

That person said again.


Milan put the hair dryer back, just turned around, and saw the woman on the bed looking at him with a vigilant expression, like a quail, in front of that woman, his slender legs walked towards the door.

Ashley opened her eyes wide, her gaze not leaving him for even a second...


She thought he wanted to close the door and... "Oh, right, take off your clothes and sleep first, if you dirty my bed, you know, I won't be happy."

Then... he disappeared?

The sound of the door closing softly rang out, Ashley was now sure, she wasn't mistaken — that person had left the bedroom.

But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the door was pushed open again, suddenly, she became even more anxious.

And that person, from the wardrobe next to her, took out a blanket, without saying a word, then walked out of the bedroom.

That means... he didn't sleep in the bedroom?

That night, Ashley kept her eyes open until dawn, not understanding that person's intention... Was it to help her dry her hair, or to take the blanket out to sleep, she didn't understand, what that person wanted to do.

There were a few times when she wanted to push the door open and go into the living room to see, would the other person give her the bed, and sleep on the sofa.

But in the end, she didn't say anything, just smiled: Waiting for the other person to awaken his conscience? It's like waiting for a sow to climb a tree.

All night, she opened her eyes until morning, when the sky was bright, she knew, she had returned to those dull and quiet days.

But she never thought, the moment she pushed the door open, her world, could not return to those dull and quiet days anymore.

"Clean up a bit." A set of clothes was thrown at her, the other person also started to adjust the sleeves of his shirt, "Wait a bit, and then go to the company with me."

"The company... isn't it only open at night?"

Suddenly.

A pair of deep black eyes glanced over: "Who told you it was here?"

The cold voice slowly said: “Go change your clothes, there is a meeting this morning.”

Ashley’s legs were like tree roots, standing still in place without moving.

“What are you still standing there for?” The man said.

Ashley’s heart became more and more uncomfortable, “Milan, you are the boss, but the place I work is Club Paradise, I am an employee of Club Paradise, not an employee of another company.” The clothes in her hand, looked extremely unsightly, also did not know where to get the courage, to let go, the clothes “accidentally” fell to the ground.

Milan glanced, looked up, he frowned: “Pick it up.” The voice was cold, and looking up was not easy to resist.

Ashley is still still in place, her two hands clasped behind her back, twisted, determined not to move.

“Ashley, pick it up.” He said it a second time, his eyes deep and dark, extremely fierce.

Sweat broke out on her forehead, “I am an employee of Paradise Club, I work in the public relations department of Paradise Club. I am not an employee of Elise Group.” The meaning of this sentence is a firm stance, will not go to Elise Group with him.

Milan raised his leg and stepped towards Ashley, Ashley wanted to retreat, but her legs were like tree roots, Milan stood in front of her, looking at her, under her observation, he bent down, reached out to pick up the clothes, then brought it in front of Ashley: “Ashley, what you lost, I will help you find it.” He looked straight into the eyes of the woman in front of him: “Go change your clothes.”

However, Ashley did not understand this sentence at this time, but one day, she would understand the meaning of Milan's sentence.

---

Elise Group Building.

A black Bentley slowly stopped, in the car, first a pair of long legs strode, then, Milan politely stepped out, walked around the passenger seat, and opened the car door.

Milan squinted at the woman who had remained silent the entire way in the car, not opening her mouth to urge, waiting for the woman in the car to take the initiative to make a choice.

Until now, Ashley still didn't know, why at that moment, she still compromised with him, wore the clothes he had prepared for her and listened to his orders.

A feeling of self-hatred crept into her heart - hating herself for being so useless, hating herself for not even daring to resist like that.

When it was time to work, more and more Elise Group employees came in and out, Ashley couldn't stand the curious and es and reluctantly got out of the car.

As soon as she got out of the car, the eyes of the people entering the Elise Group building all lit up with curiosity. As if by natural reflex, she lowered her head and buried her head in her chest. It was best not to let others see her... She was afraid of so many people, afraid of those gazes. It was like someone who had been in the dark for a long time. Suddenly, she stepped out of the door and the moment she came into contact with the sunlight, she did not feel warm, but only felt dazzled.

Milan moved forward rd, and Ashley followed, Milan entered the door of the Elise Group building, suddenly stopped, half turned around, and looked at Ashley who was behind.

The other woman, her two feet standing outside the door, reluctantly did not want to move her feet, did not want to go through the door, did not want to break through the defense line.
