Chapter 612 Thank You

Ashley caught a glimpse of a box beside Lena. Ashley was familiar with the small, but fateful object. It was the box that was used when someone was fired from a company.

Ashley paused and asked, "Lena, what is that?"

Lena's record in the company was spotless. She had not gotten into any kind of conflict or controversy. Ashley realized that the box couldn't be Lena's.

However, Ashley was still not sure about it.

'Why is there such a box here?'

Lena saw the box and she wanted to slap herself for her carelessness. How could she forget to put this box away?

She should have had the foresight to hide the box from Ashley. After all, she was still in a delicate state of health now, and Lena was not sure if Ashley could take any kind of bad news.

But there was no hiding it from Ashley now. She could tell what was on Lena's mind just by looking at her face.

Ashley smiled at Lena and said, "You don't need to be gentle with me, Lena. Don't worry. I can handle it, whatever it is. I'm fine, really."

Lena sighed. It could no longer be denied. "Ashley, Trina said that you don't need to go to work anymore.

But, Ashley, this wasn't Trina's idea. No way! Trina and I believe in you, and we don't think you could have done something like that. Sarah and the others really wanted to pin this on you. They insist that you plagiarized her work."

Lena defended Trina with her words. She knew that Trina believed Ashley just as she did.

Ashley smiled, "Okay, I see. Thank you for bringing my things here. At least I don't have to go back there myself to get them."

Lena could see that Ashley was trying to put up a brave front. She was a courageous girl, but Lena could see the hurt in Ashley's eyes. "Don't feel so bad, Ashley. You're a talented girl. I'm sure this will only be a temporary setback for you. I'm sure that y

w could you have trusted them so easily?' Ashley blamed no one but herself.

Ashley could still remember how she drew the designs, and how Sarah and Ida commended her. They were so eager to praise and teach her.

Now she realized that it was all just a ruse to suck her in.

'Sarah told me I have great talent. But how could one designer want to have an assistant who was more talented than herself?

She was just afraid that I would steal her thunder.

But I was just a newcomer in the business. Why would Sarah have to go through so much trouble to deal with me?

Perhaps she just really wanted to eliminate every possible threat to her position, ' Ashley thought.

Ashley felt a sharp pain in her head. She pressed her temples and thought, 'I can't think about these things now. The most important thing now is to take good care of my baby.'

Ashley lay down again, planning to catch up on sleep.

When Lena came back, she saw Ashley sleeping quietly on the bed. Ashley had easily fallen asleep again.

It must have been from all the stress, and it was a good thing that she was resting now.

It would be good for Ashley and her baby.

Lena put the food aside. She could just reheat it when Ashley woke up.
