Ch-168. Smirk

Ashley's POV:

Ethan's smirk is visible enough to make me aware that this is undoubtedly a part of his plan to make us work in his office, but what is the reason behind it?

Nobody knows that apart from him, himself!

And poor Mike is too innocent to understand any of his tactics.

This is why my heart is screaming with panic and I was so paranoid of coming here, at all.

Then again, there was something I had to do: attend the final trials for Liam's verdict, take Adrin to his grandparents’ grave and introduce him to his roots… to the home where I have grown up.

And along with this, the upcoming bid that has the potential to change the entire arc of my business has compelled me completely to return.

But while returning, I have been mindful of some things. I had thought that by now, Ethan would just be happily married to Emily, and would have completely forgotten about me… and the ring on his finger is indeed testifying my theory, so I don't understand his efforts to keep us in his office
