Chapter 60 - Am I A Gigolo Now?

‘How to explain this?’

Ashley racked her brains to think of the reason, silently withdrew her sight, "Oh, by mistake."

Jacob still looked at her with a somewhat meaningful expression.

"I actually didn’t want you to see my Ins."

Ashley explained, "I didn't see it clearly, and I blocked you by mistake."

Jacob, "..."

‘What's the reason?’

"That's it, you know."

Ashley said, "Some of the content is not good for my parents to see and I am too lazy to block the total grouping, so I just go straight to it."

"I won't say anything else," Jacob interrupted, grabbing one word, "Parents."

"...”

Ashley took great pains to find the reason. "Well, if you see it, it means my brother saw it. When my brother saw it, he will tell my parents. I had to cut it off from the root. And I blocked you a long time ago. "

"I didn't see you post anything." Jacob's fingertips were gently on her phone screen.

Ashley reached out to remove the block," I deleted it all. "

"Little girl, how come there is nothing in your Ins?"

"Ah."

"No boyfriend at all."

This was very implied.

Ashley was really not in the habit of posting Ins, and occasionally posted one, which would be deleted before long.

She didn't realize it, and she just mentioned it casually.

When she thought about it in this way, it seemed that she did have the feeling of hiding their relationship.

Ashley said carefully, "Then I'll post one now."

Hearing Ashley's tone, Jacob knew that she was in a bad mood today.

He really didn't care much about these things and said carelessly, "No, I'm just messing with you."

Ashley stopped flipping through the album and nodded in silence.

After a long time.

Ashley couldn't help asking, "Don’t you mind?"

"No."

"I didn't mention you on Ins."

"Did you do it on purpose?"

"No."

"It doesn't matter." Jacob led her into a store, saying in a loose tone. "Do you think I'm ugly, so you want to keep it a secret from everyone?"

Ashley retorted, "I didn't think you are ugly."

When she returned to the dormitory, after washing, she took a basin to soak her feet, and then she didn't want to do anything more and lay down on the bed.

It was not yet time for Ashley to go to bed, but she was already shrouded in drowsiness.

Ashley reluctantly opened her eyes and replied to Jacob on Whatsapp.

She stepped back and noticed that there was new news from the family group. It was Tim and Grace, who both sent red envelopes to celebrate her finding an internship.

Seeing this, Ashley was in a much better mood.

She first sent a "hug" expression, and then opened one after another, and found that they had been taken by Liam.

Ashley's drooping eyelids were raised instantly. She thought that he had taken it by mistake and typed a question mark to remind him.

Liam didn't reply.

Ashley waited for a long time and fell asleep before she knew it.

When she woke up the next day, I found that Liam still did not reply.

On the contrary, in order to coax her, Tim sent out two more red envelopes last night.

Liam still didn't say a word.

Ashley was bleary-eyed and had a bad feeling for no reason.

She reached out and opened it and found that the two red envelopes were also received by Liam.

That added up to eight hundred dollars.

‘All right.

OK.’

Ashley didn’t want to have any contact with him.

In the next few days, Avery still had the same attitude towards Ashley.

Ashley will be scolded no matter what she did.

For example, Avery asked Ashley to fill a glass of water.

Ashley was scolded for the first time for giving her a glass of warm water, and the second time she asked, "Do you want hot water or cold water?" Instead, she replied, "Really? Do you need to ask me for that?"

Then Ashley poured a glass of warm water as she asked last time, and was still scolded.

For example, according to the requirements of Avery, she can always find fault with the materials and manuscripts she has drawn.

Ashley revised it several times and was scolded by her several times in succession, but in the end, she would say, "forget it."

Occasionally she chat with Sophie, also heard her mention a few words, looking for an internship some disagreeable, but still, adhered to the work.

Ashley didn't want to give up halfway.

Her life has become more regular than when she was in class.

Every day except work was working overtime, After that, she would go back to the dormitory to sleep, do not want to do anything else.

Sometimes Ashley thought that the contract has not been signed yet and she would quit directly.

She also felt that she has been abused for so many days, and now if she quit, she would lose everything.

It was Friday.

Ashley ordered takeout with her colleagues at noon. After eating, she packed up, took the box out, and threw it away.

When she got to the stairwell, she happened to see Avery leaning against the window to make a phone call.

Her voice was soft and her speech was slow, which was completely different from that in front of Ashley. "I don't think this little girl is quite different from you. She is quite obedient. She didn’t complain about anything. I haven't seen her say anything to her male colleagues in the company. I'm embarrassed to bully her like this."

Ashley paused and threw away the rubbish in silence.

Avery didn't notice her and was still chatting with the person on the other end of the phone. "But according to what you said, this man is also very bad, ah, why don’t you change a man?"

She stopped listening and turned back to the company.

Ashley washed her hands in the toilet, thinking about Avery's words.

It seemed that the targeting and abuse these days were all personal.

But she really didn't know Avery.

‘Could it be that some classmate was offended, and then Avery is the sister of that classmate? ‘

Anyway, if it was a work problem, Ashley thought she can stand it.

But now it was clear that the other party was deliberately targeting her, and she didn't want to put up with it any longer.

Ashley returned to her position and planned to take a lunch break.

Avery has also come back, at this time to take the position of the blanket, ready to go to the sofa to sleep for a while.

There was only one sofa in the company, and she always used it.

Seeing Ashley lying on the desk, she stopped, "Who told you to sleep?"

Ashley tilted her head. "It's not time for work yet."

Avery, "Did you find the material I asked?"

"No," Ashley said calmly, staring at her, "but it's not office time."

The first time she heard Ashley hit back, Avery was still a little unaccustomed. She frowned and clapped her palm heavily on the desk. "You find it first, I'm in a hurry to use it," she said angrily.

Ashley, "Oh."

Avery's expression softened a little. "come on."

Ashley added, "No."

Avery said," What did you say? "

"if you're really in a hurry, you can look for it now without taking a nap."

Ashley, who has always had a bad temper, said angrily, "otherwise, you will give me the overtime pay."

Because of Ashley's attitude, Avery's behavior was obviously worse.

For the sake of the three new colleagues, the boss John decided to organize a dinner to welcome the new arty.

So today's off-work time was particularly punctual, Avery deliberately wanted to give Ashley something to do, but also did not find a reason.

The place for dinner was in a nearby cafeteria.

In front of John, and it was still off time, Avery was not too presumptuous and did not make things difficult for Ashley.

At the end of the game, the party decided to go to the nearby KTV to relax.

Ashley didn't really want to go, but when she saw everyone else going, she was embarrassed to ask to leave.

On the way, Ashley heard Avery say to John, "John, my friend is going to come to me and ask her to come with me, ii it okay?"

John smiled, "Sure."

Ashley didn't take this too seriously, walked behind, and silently told Jacob where she was going next.

Before long, Ashley met the friend Avery said.

It was Kathy, whom she hasn't seen for a long time.

At this moment, Ashley suddenly remembered why Avery looked familiar in the first place.

Her face gradually coincided with the woman who stopped Kathy from acting crazily when she was in the hot pot restaurant.

Ashley sat in the corner of KTV, feeling very light, staring at Kathy, who smiled and said hello to everyone.

When the two eyes met, Kathy's expression did not change.

Ashley also pretended to smile.

The others sang songs, played dice, and drank. Ashley only played for a while, then went back to the corner and sat down.

Before she knew it, Kathy sat next to her.

She looked normal, with an intimate smile on her face, and said gently, "I hear you're a freshman."

Ashley pretended not to hear and said nothing.

Kathy, "came out to work at such a young age."

"Are you happy with a man who has nothing?"

"Madam," Ashley nibbled at the peanuts in front of me, "if I am really short of money, I will find a tutor or go out to take a summer job, which is faster than an internship in this company."

"That's all I mean, if that's all you want to say, let me remind you."

Ashley looked up and smiled and bent her eyes. "otherwise, I'll be tired of listening."

Kathy stopped smiling, looked at her steadily, and suddenly poured several mouthfuls of wine into her mouth.

Maybe it was because there were so many people around, and she didn't do anything violent.

Ashley looked down at the time.

Kathy, "can your parents allow you to be with him?"

Ashley didn't answer.

"you think he really likes your little girl. Seriously, this man is very loveless."

Kathy whispered, "are you good to him?"

"Anyone who treats him kindly can mistake this feeling for love."

Kathy said, "I think you do love him to death, but if you break up with him, do you know how he will react?"

Ashley bowed her head and played with her mobile phone without saying a word.

Kathy gently poked her arm with her fingertips. "he will think, it doesn't matter, I wish you could find a better one."

Her heart seemed to have been pricked and she pursed hard at the corners of her lips.

"and then," Kathy said slowly, "people like you, he can find thousands."

Ashley just opened her mouth and whispered, "it's interesting for you to come to me and say these words."

"I poked the pain point. I'm sorry."

The smell of alcohol in Kathy's mouth was particularly strong and smelled bad. "I just don't like him. I'm kind enough to remind you because his father drove his car and killed my father.

"I know."

Kathy was stupefied and suddenly burst out laughing, shaking all over her body. "he told you about this, he had the nerve to say it, awesome."

Ashley said in a calm tone. "the continuous sitting system was abolished a thousand years ago, Madam."

There was a long silence.

Kathy stiffly pulled out the corners of her mouth and said coldly, "Then who do I blame if something like this happened to your family, you don't think you will become like me?"

“Jacob's father committed a crime," Ashley said. "so the court sentenced him for the crime he committed."

Kathy interrupted her abruptly, sneering at "being punished"

"My father could have lived. His father ran away after bumping into someone, "Kathy said, clenched her teeth." for fear of going to prison, for fear of being pointed at by others, he jumped off a building and committed suicide. "

"What punishment did you say he received?"

This was the first time Ashley has heard of it.

Earlier, I heard Jacob say that her father had become a vegetable, and she also thought it was because of the car accident, which affected both sides.

For a long time.

Ashley looked at her with her eyelashes and said softly, "Isn’t that Jacob also a victim?"

Ashley found a reason to leave, but Kathy did not follow.

She was so nervous that she didn't want to go back to school for a while, so she went nearby to buy a small octopus ball to eat.

Before long, she got a message from Jacob, saying that he would pick her up.

Ashley sent him a location.

This was a small square, which was quite lively.

There was a group of people playing roller skating and skateboarding not far away. Ashley sat on the small stone steps next to her and finished eating the octopus balls.

She put the box aside and belched gloomily.

She was inexplicably dazed when she thought of Kathy's words.

She began to think about getting along with Jacob during this period of time.

He was very kind to her.

Indulge her in everything.

She could do whatever she wanted to do.

He wouldn't force her to do what she didn't want to do.

He was very kind to her.

From the first day, we were together, Ashley knew very well.

Their love should not be equal.

It didn't matter whether he was on the spur of the moment or whether he was in love with her over time.

As long as he liked her a little bit, it seemed to be enough.

Ashley suddenly stood up and stared at others laughing and playing skateboarding.

She noticed a boy holding the girl's hand in the distance, holding her carefully, as if afraid of her falling, and then suddenly kissed by her, froze, blushed, and let go of his hand.

As a result, they fell together, but both were laughing.

Ashley laughed inexplicably.

She watched it for a long time before Jacob sent her a message and told her he was there.

Ashley replied to him, asked him the exact location, and soon saw his figure.

Ashley threw away the box in her hand and stood in front of him.

Jacob watched her, "You drank?"

Ashley shook her head, looked up at him, and suddenly asked, "can I ask you a question?"

“Sure.”

"Why do you like me?"

Jacob was stupefied, laughing, "Is there any other reason for this?"

Ashley paused for a moment and said softly, "so is it."

"what's wrong?"

"nothing."

Ashley lowered her eyes, suddenly let go of his hand, rummaged through his bag, and took out a bank card from his wallet. "here you are."

"mm-hmm."

"There is more than 1,000 dollars in it."

Ashley said slowly, "in the competition I participated in last semester, our group won the prize, then sold the prize and divided the money. I also worked as a tutor, but it was a little less, and it didn't add up to much money. "

"I don't know if I can get the scholarship. If I get it, I will transfer it. If I can keep doing this job, I should also have two thousand, "Ashley said." I will also transfer in at that time. "

Jacob was a little unresponsive, and his Adam's apple slid up and down, "Why did you give me this?"

"I just want to tell you," Ashley whispered with a sour nose, "I will be kind to you all my life."

‘So you don't have to find anyone else to be nice to you.

I can always, unreservedly treat you.’

Jacob tilted her head and looked down at her. "Am I a gigolo now?"

"But why are you so aggrieved?"

Jacob took his wallet out of his pocket and put it in the palm of her hand. "take this money and buy yourself a beautiful dress to wear."

Then, Jacob took the card in her hand. "I can use this money."

Ashley looked up at him.

"there's still a lot of money, so,"Jacob seemed to be in a good mood. He reached out and pinched her earlobe and blew into her ear.. "Boss, you can do whatever you want."
