"I came here a month ago. My family arranged that I work here. I was really surprised to see you here. So, how did you come here?" Duncan said.
Ashley heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Duncan arrived in the country a month ago. As long as he didn't arrive here after she did, she could heave a sigh of relief.
'Duncan must have no idea that I left J City indefinitely, ' thought Ashley.
An amusing thought suddenly came to Ashley's mind. 'Perhaps I'm overthinking and exaggerating things. Perhaps I'm thinking about conspiracies in my head too much. I mean, how could anyone know that I left like that? I don't think they are that sharp and observant. Or maybe deep inside, I just want Andrew to come looking for me.
I am gone now, and life goes on for them.'
Duncan was already working in the company but he did not let anyone know who he really was.
Only a few employees in the company knew who Duncan really was, most of them thinking that he was here for a company inspection.
Most people thought that he was just another employee that was a little more handsome than most.
After lunch, Duncan walked Ashley back to her department. When he was about to leave, Zena chanced upon him.
Zena was immediately smitten. She couldn't get her eyes off him. She had never seen a man this handsome and attractive.

Lena said in a serious tone. Ashley could tell that she was just trying to comfort her.
Thinking of something, Lena looked at Ashley's belly and asked, "How far along are you?"
Ashley touched her belly and responded, "About four months."
"Looks good. Your belly looks quite big. Maybe you're having twins," Lena joked.
"So what are you going to do now? Will you still work here?" Lena asked.
Ashley nodded. "Yes, of course I have to keep working. It's the only way to support the child," Ashley said.
"But you're pregnant. You'll tire more easily," Lena said.
Ashley touched her belly and smiled. "No, it'll be fine. It hasn't come out yet, and it's already very kind and considerate. I'm sure it won't give me too much trouble while I work," Ashley said.
Lena nodded. "That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, do let me know. If you really feel bad, you can ask for a leave and only come to work after the baby is born."
