Chapter 599 Envious Of You

Ashley did not pay Zena any heed. After all, what could she do aside from insulting her and sulking? Not much.

There was no way Zena could really hurt Ashley.

Ashley decided that it would be a waste of time dealing with this insecure co-worker and her petty insults.

Ashley had finished the required drawings for the day, and she decided to stretch and get some rest. It was lunch time, after all.

She had an hour off and if she ate her lunch fast enough, Ashley could get some extra rest. Because she didn't need to buy things or do errands anymore, she had the luxury of eating in the company premises.

As soon as Ashley walked out, Lena came out of nowhere and grabbed her hand.

Lena held Ashley's hand and they both rushed towards the dining hall. Along the way, Ashley held her belly carefully.

She had to be a little more careful now.

Ashley asked Lena if she could slow down.

"Sorry Ashley, but it's best we hurry up now, so that we can have more time to rest later," Lena explained.

Ashley and Lena soon got to the dining hall of the company and each had a meal. They sat by a window and ate slowly.

Lena was the first person Ashley knew at work. It was for this reason that they were quite close.

From then on they often had meals together, chatting and laughing.

Lena was surprised to see that Ashley had finished all the food on her plate.

Ashley looked small and cute, but she had a huge appetite.

Lena looked at Ashley in surprise. "Ashley, don't you feel bloated after eating so much?" she asked.

Ashley replied, "No, I don't. What's wrong?"

Lena stared at the remaining food on her plate and then at Ashley's empty plate. Lena was at a loss for words.

'Ashley obviously eats more than me, but why is she thinner than me?' Lena thought to herself, quite puzzled.

Lena propped her chin on her palm and asked, "Ashley, look at you. You eat a lot more than I do, bu

g lunch at the table, there was a shadow in front of her.

Raising her head, Ashley found Duncan standing in front of her and looking at her.

Duncan asked, "May I sit here?"

Ashley wanted to refuse but she couldn't. It would have been impolite to do so.

"Suit yourself," Ashley responded.

Ashley decided not to say anything more.

She lowered her head and continued eating.

Duncan immediately picked up on Ashley's seeming aloof attitude towards him.

He didn't know why Ashley treated him like this. She wasn't like this when she was in J City.

"Ashley, what's wrong?" asked Duncan.

"What?"

Ashley looked up and said. "I'm fine."

'If everything's fine, then why are you ignoring me?'

Duncan wanted to blurt these words out loud, but he just bit his tongue and held back. He didn't want the situation to be even more awkward than it already was.

Looking at Duncan, Ashley asked indifferently, "Why are you here?"

It was obvious that Duncan had come here just for Ashley.

It took Duncan a moment to think about it, but he finally realized why Ashley seemed so cold towards him.

Ashley didn't want anyone to know she was here, including Andrew. Perhaps she was treating Duncan this way, because she thought they already knew she was here.
