With two knocks on the door, Ashley was ordered to come inside.

Anton was too busy with what he was writing that he didn't bother to spare her a glance. He didn't even know she was the one.

"Anything?" Anton asked, still not looking at her.

"Um, sorry for coming without informing" Ashley apologized feeling awkward for not interrupting his work time.

Anton's gaze flew in the direction of the voice and behold, it was her. He's been hoping she comes around and here she is, standing right before him.

"Ashley, how the... Where have you been?" He asked, dropping his pen on the desk.

"I hope I'm not stopping you from work?" Ashley asked, she wants to be extra sure to know he doesn't have any tight work up his sleeves.

"Not at all, was feeling bored so I decide to get myself busy." He chuckles, leaning down on his seat.

The memories of Katie lying helplessly on the floor screaming make her stiffen.Unconsciously, she grips tight Andriy's hands.

Ivanna leads him to the sofa, and he willingly accepts."What's so important than it couldn't wait for me to get enough time with my son?" Ivanna asked, ready to listen to what so ever thing he had to say."Mom, I know this isn't the right time but I must come clean and clear to you. You are my mother" he pauses, Ivanna stares at him questioningly."Did you throw Ashley out of the house after the news about my death?"

She's already figured her out.Melina's lips widen into a sweet smile, just the way she wanted, her plans are falling into place."What did she do this time?"

Huge one can even make your face less attractive" she adds.This left a frown on Ashley's face as she tries to feel what exactly Alina said was on it. "Is it that bad? What is it? Can it be cleared in two days?" Ashley throws tons of questions at Alina, she wasn't scared of anything but acne... It always comes and never wishes to want to go and she hates it."Be serious, what's on my face?" Ashley asked again after seeing the exchange of looks between Kayden and Alina."Um, naiveness I think" Alina laughs, heartily at her words."You should stop playing jokes like that, it's no fun."
