Watching the breathtakingly handsome face zooming and zooming in on her... Nora's heart was pounding like a deer jumping around.
"Asher!" A sudden and abrupt voice broke the ambiguous atmosphere.
Nora hurriedly pushed Asher away and sat upright.
She felt remorse in her heart as to why her face was burning.
Why hadn't she pushed Asher away just now? Had she been tempted by his beautiful face?
She looked up and saw that the unexpected guest was no other than Ashley.
Nora couldn't help but furrow her brow, wondering what Ashley was up to again.
Ashley stepped into the room in her high heels, glared at Nora, and then looked at Asher. She forcibly suppressed the jealousy in her heart, and asked softly, "Asher, I'm not disturbing you, am I?"
Asher frowned slightly. The fire in his eyes disappeared in an instant and was replaced by his usual coldness.
He gave Ashley a sideways glance, "Why did you come over?"
"Asher, how is your hand? I bought the ointment for you and it's very effective." Ashley said as she took out an ointment from her handbag and handed it to Asher.
"There is no need." Asher pushed Ashley away with no expression and spoke indifferently, "I already have ointment."
Seeing the disappointment flash across Ashley's eyes, Nora added, "Asher only uses the ointment I bought for him. Honey, right?"
Asher gave a light affirmation.
Honey?
What a shameless bitch! How could Nora call Asher "honey"?
Ashley secretly gritted her teeth and told herself to stay calm.
"Nora, are you still mad at me?" Ashley lowered her eyes and deliberately made a pitiful look.
"You must have misunderstood me. Yesterday, it was Auntie who insisted on coming to the company to look for you and I could not stop her. Auntie was just too worried. After all, Asher was injured, and it was only because of saving you. It is understandable that Auntie was angry, so don't be angry, Nora."
Seeing Ashley disassociate herself from the incident, Nora raised the corners of her lips in a sarcastic arc, smiled coldly, and went straight to the heart of the matter, "Is that so? I think you were the one who told your Auntie about the injury of Asher yesterday, weren't you?"
"I didn't..." Ashley bit her lip and tried to say something else, only to be cut off by Asher.
"Okay, Ashley, go back to school now and don't come to the office anymore if not necessary." Asher's voice was a bit cold and nonchalant as he gave the expulsion order.
Ashley's heart sank and she said reluctantly, "Asher, I came here specifically to bring you ointment."
"Didn't I just tell you? Your cousin's injury is not your concern. He is doing it for your own good so that you can focus on your studies instead of thinking about the wrong things." Nora's eyes were arched with a smile, but her words were merciless.
In the presence of Asher, Ashley resisted the urge to go forward and tear Nora's mouth open. She said sadly, "Asher, I'll be going. You should keep this ointment. You might need it later."
Ashley put the ointment on the table and turned to leave.
Nora glanced at the ointment on the table and said, "This is the ointment your cousin sent especially for you. Why don't you accept it?"
"I don't need it." Asher's voice was indifferent.
In Nora's surprised gaze, Asher threw the ointment into the trash can.
"Why did you throw it away?" Nora asked in surprise.
Asher gave Nora a deep look and said in a teasing manner, "Didn't you say that I would only use your ointment?"
Nora was somewhat speechless: "..."
Ashley heard a thud from behind her.
She froze. And then, all kinds of complicated emotions came flooding into her heart.
Asher actually threw away the ointment she had specially sent him!
All this was instigated by Nora, that bitch!
Ashley's heart burned with jealousy.
She couldn't wait to kick Nora out!
But Asher was protecting Nora and even Madge couldn't do anything about it.
Suddenly, Ashley had a flash of light in her head.
She was not the only one who wanted to get rid of Nora.
Brittany, for example, would like to get rid of Nora no less than her.
Although Ashley hated Brittany, she hated Nora more at this moment.
She understood that Brittany was simply loving Asher basing on her own wishful thinking and Asher did not like Brittany at all, so her number one opponent was Nora.
Perhaps, she could use Brittany to get the best of both worlds.
...
Once it was time to get off work, Asher took Nora back to Water Moon Island.
Wilma had prepared a table of food, all of which Nora loved.
"Mr. Hawn, Miss Smith, I'll leave now if there's nothing else I can do." Wilma said with a smile on her face.
Asher nodded and put a piece of beef into Nora's bowl, looking at her casually, "Try it and see if it suits your taste."
"It's pretty good." Nora tasted a bite and found it crispy and tender.
"If you want to eat anything next time, just tell Wilma directly." Asher had his dinner elegantly with chopsticks in his slender hands.
His features were exquisite and his three-dimensional face seemed to be carefully carved by God. Even though he was simply having his dinner, he looked incomparably noble and impeccably perfect.
Nora was stunned for a second, "Okay. Thanks."
"We don't need to be so polite to each other." Asher said with a faint expression.
Nora smiled, raised her eyes, and unexpectedly met Asher's eyes, which were like a vast ocean, unfathomable, tumbling with an unknown depth, as if they could absorb one's soul into them.
She felt more and more that this man was really good-looking.
"Have you seen enough?" Asher suddenly spoke.
The magnetic voice reached Nora's ears and she was embarrassed, "Who looked at you?"
"I saw it." Asher gave a light laugh.
Nora glared at him, "If you didn't look at me, how could you see it?"
Asher raised an eyebrow and looked at Nora with a smile on his face, "Yes, I do not deny that you are beautiful."
Nora blushed slightly. Why was Asher flirting with her? Wasn't he supposed to be cold and detached?
The atmosphere in the restaurant was slightly awkward.
At this point, Nora's cell phone rang at an inopportune time.
Nora took out her phone and found out that it was Julian calling her.
Recalling what Asher had said to her this morning, Nora pressed the Do Not Answer button.
"Why don't you answer the phone?" Asher asked in a sullen
Nora coughed softly, "It's an advertising call."
Just as the words left her mouth, the phone rang again, and it was Julian again.
Julian seemed to be determined to keep on calling if Nora didn't answer.
Nora furrowed her brow, picked up the phone, and stood up, "Excuse me, I'm going to take a call."
Looking at Nora's beautiful back as she disappeared at the restaurant door, Asher's handsome face sank.
Whose phone call was it? Why did she have to answer it behind his back?
