Chapter 20

Tanaga was in shock due to the massive impact of Ashley's slap right on his handsome face. He wasn't able to utter a word. Instead, he slowly lowered his hands while still staring at his cupped palms as if Ashley's twin peaks were still in his hands.

Ashely, on the other hand, has her mouth in agape for what she had done. However, it's a woman's instinct to backtrack no sooner right after the incident occurs automatically. She stood right by the door, shaking and about to have a seizure, afraid of what Tanaga would do to her in return.

However, Tanaga's good sense chose not to remind him of his tender cheeks. Instead, it kept on telling him of the softness and pleasantness of the two mounds in his touch. He even foolishly moved his fingers as if he was squeezing Ashley's b.r.e.a.s.t.

His driver saw all this through the rearview mirror and just had to be nosy and interrupt his daydreaming. "Sir Jones, are you alright?" asked the giggling driver who saw the whole exchange. He chuckled in secret, looking at his boss, gawking at his hands, pressing an empty air.

"Huh?" Tanaga came out from his daze and shook his head several times to stop his mind from replaying the wonderful feeling of those well-shaped soft mountains.

"Ashley, aren't you coming in, or do you want me to carry you in?" Said Tanaga a little too loud, but in actuality, he was only trying to divert his thoughts by doing so.

The naïve Ashley panicked once again after hearing him yell out loud. She quickly stepped in, but another mishap took place. This time, her foot got caught under the step board and bam!

"Ah! Santa Maria!! Oh.. No!!!" She hastily threw her hand forward to keep her face from falling in, but...

"OUCH!#$?!!" Tanaga yelled aloud while wincing in pain because Ashley's hand landed on the softest spot in between his groins with no mercy.

Oof! Poor Tanaga. What he avoided from the start happened. The driver looked away, feeling the pain of his boss, whose face was pitiful and indescribable.

Ashley pulled her hand up right away and sat in silence, feeling mortified for squashing Tanaga's sacred balls. Meanwhile, Tanaga writhed in agony while covering his precious family jewels, the source of his heirs.

"Let's go," Tanaga said, almost like a whisper to the driver who hardly recognized his command.

Ashley sat completely still with her spine straight like a stiff board beside the slouching and groaning Tanaga. Ah, she wished to stop breathing or crouch in fear at this moment, afraid of Tanaga's verdict later.

The car was so silent, and you could even hear a pin drop. Ashley's imagination ran wild, thinking she was in a prison cell waiting for her turn in the gallows. Her head and hands were sweating cold, although the air-conditioner was in full blast.

Unfortunately, so was Tanaga. His forehead had beads of sweat too, but that's because of the throbbing pain and not the heat.

Tanaga was praying to whoever he could pray too, as long as the pain would disappear by the time they reached the office, at least he hopes so.

At long last, the car stopped at their destination after the driver drove around the office block several times, confusing the waiting employees, to help his paining boss. Tanaga was thankful for the understanding driver. Because of the long drive, it gave him enough time to let the pain subside.

As the driver stepped on the breaks, Tanaga caught Ashley's astonished expression and smiled in secret.

"Wow!!" Ashley exclaimed and ran out the car as excitement raced through her, in awe to see the twenty-story tall and intricately designed building in front of her. This was her first to see such a towering work of art.

'That is only a building, and you're excited. What will be your reaction when you learn that this is only one of my properties?' Tanaga snickered by himself and disembarked from the car and walked directly into the building, not minding if Ashley followed or not.

His employees, young and old, respectfully bowed and stood in line from the glass door inside. This was a daily ritual to Tanaga and passed without looking at anyone in particular, heading straight to his private elevator.

When he stepped away from the last bowing employee, he realized there were no steps following him. He walked back and searched for his companion.

The employees saw their boss's brows wrinkled and gasped altogether in horror. What upset their boss this time? Alarming bells rang in their heads as they followed his head's direction right away. With this, buzzing murmurs began.

"Who is he looking for?" asked a man with a black formal matching suit.

"No idea, was there someone with him? I didn't see anyone who came out after him," replied another guy wearing a gray suit.

"Are you all blind? There's his companion." An older man said as he pointed his lips to Ashley, who walked behind the lined employees.

"Who's that girl?" asked the Director of H.R. with a raised brow...
