As Ashley walked past Megan, both women glanced at one another at the concern of their eyes as their shoulders slightly brushed against one another. "What are you doing here?" Ashley heard Jake ask before she entered.
The moment Ashley closed the door behind her, she leaned up against it with her eyes closed. Anna raised an eyebrow before sucking her teeth. "Was the meeting that bad?" She asked as Ashley let out a shaky breath before walking to her desk, ignoring Anna as she made a phone call.
"Ash?" Anna called out as Ashley ignored her befor

He asked as Jake played with his drink."What would you have thought if you woke up alone in a hotel bed naked after having dinner with your ex?"
