Chapter 87

"Wait, wait, wait a damn minute! If you say that you had left Ashley in the Philippines because you have changed your mind, don't bother continuing, or you might get more than just a smack on your head. Do you understand, or 'do I need to repeat? " Grandma Hanada told her grandson.

Tanaga, who was about to tell the truth, suddenly changed his mind because of his grandmother's tone. His grandmother seemed to approved of Ashley. Therefore, he decided to make up a story and tell her something else.

"Grandma, that's not what I'm going to tell you. What I was going to say was, I had temporarily sent her to my downtown condominium because I'm not sure if she can understand my old relationship with Ohani.

Another thing Is that... I'm not sure how to tell Ohani that I'm no longer available, and I have a wife. That's why I brought her here so you can explain it to her. Please! Grandma, help me out here! "

When Grandma Hanada heard Tanaga's made-up excuse, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was shocked when she saw that Tanaga's companion who came with him was Ohani and not Ashley's.

She knew that Tanaga was very hurt when Ohani had left him before and replaced him with an American man. Therefore, she vowed to herself that she'd do everything she can never to let them get back together again!

Grandmother Hanada already knew the truth about their marriage. But she acted ignorantly with the hope that Tanaga would learn to love Ashley. But since Ohani returns to the picture, Ashley will have a hard time making Tanaga fall in love with her.

As Grandma Hanada looked straight ahead at Tanaga, she was in deep thought. 'I need to help Ashley fight that bitch, I know that Tanaga is still thinking about that pest, it's a problem and making me worried that she might be the reason for the couple's separation. Hmmm? "

" Alright! Alright! Let's go back to the living room, and I'm afraid that when we go back there, you have a lot of stuff missing." Grandma Hanada told Tanaga, with a meaning, and she was hoping that Tanaga would get what she was insinuating.

Meanwhile, Ashley had arrived at the condominium. It visible on her face that she was a little sad, in which 'Tiny' her Filipino bodyguard who was assigned to her noticed as he was helping her get off the car. "Ma'am, we are near the mall. If you want to... Once we finished unpacking, I could take you there?" He offered kindly trying to make her feel better.

Ashley was in deep thought when she heard what the driver said to her. "Thank you for your offer. But maybe I'll just rest, I'm actually tired from the long trip from the Philippines. " She replied with a slight smile.

" I understand, ma'am, and It's alright! Why don't you go ahead and go in first? I'm going to get your luggage, then I'll follow you. " Tiny sadly told Ashley.

Ashley slowly stepped out of the car with her lifeless body and sad looking face. She then slowly made her way inside the lobby of the building. She was suddenly amazed at the beautiful exterior of the lobby.

Ashley couldn't help but admire the beauty and the extent of it. So instead of going straight up to the elevator that would take her up to their condominium. She decided to tour the facility.

When Tiny entered, he saw that Ashley was slowly strolling around touring the facility. It comforted him to see what she was doing and decided not to bother her and went straight up. However, he remembers to ask the security guard to watch over his boss while he goes up to the condominium.

"Sure, sir! I want to take care of your lady boss!" Replied the security guard who knew that Tiny is Tanaga's bodyguard. He concluded that Ashley must be one of Tanaga's fling, for he would not have his personal bodyguard take care of her if that's not the case. So he quickly answered yes, because of the chance that he would be able to show off.

Since the security guard had promised to watch over his charge, Tiny went ahead and continued going up to take Ashley's baggage.

Meanwhile, Ashley has no idea that Tiny had left her behind without informing her of the condo unit number.

Ashley was enjoying her tour while she touches and feels everything she runs across. She marveled at the splendor of the place. "Wow! It's vibrant. Lobby just looks so grand!" Ashley whispered to herself.

" That's a fact! And if I were you, I wouldn't lay a hand on any of the items for if you break any of it ... I don't think you could afford to pay for it even if you sell yourself to the devil. " The front desk manager said to her while looking at her from head to foot.

Ashley was shocked and surprised when she heard someone speaking from behind. She turned around to look who it was before speaking back. "Excuse me? I'm sorry! I didn't get what you just said, can you repeat that, please! "

It's not true that Ashley didn't understand what he was saying. She just wanted him to repeat it because, from the way he was looking at her from head to toe, it was very insulting.

" Never mind that! I don't know how you were able to pass the security guard. You must be here to work for one of the tenants. Am I right? " The front desk manager said with a loud voice.

Unfortunately, it was the same time as Ashley's cellphone suddenly rang, and she quickly started rummaging in her purse to look for it and ignored what the front desk manager was saying.

It didn't take her long to find the cellphone, and she quickly looked at the number.  Suddenly she raised her brows while her eyes widened with excitement...  

She quickly answered the cellphone, "Hello !!!" She almost cried out with joy...
