Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid

Chapter 84

84–Lawfully Mine

We had dinner at a fine restaurant and enjoyed ourselves a lot. This was a small effort from my friends‘ side to bring me out of my nonexistent depression.

And I kid you not. We wore our sexiest outfits, applied makeup, and did each other’s hair. Aniya kept discussing Marwick that how he was not able to divert his eyes from my face.

And I kept negating her wild guesses. According to her every walking male on the earth was interested in me. After dinner, they wanted to go to a pub, but I denied.

I had to prepare for my next day’s presentation. Mr. Gordon also wanted a detailed report about our projects and plans.

I wanted to do my homework.

“Come on, Ash. You need to loosen up a little. All work and no play is making you dull.” Aniya complained but I ignored it.

“I will do it on a weekend I promise.” Aniya climbed into the car with a pout and shoved her earphones in

her ears.

“Listen, baby girl.” I quickly eyed her in the rearview mirror while driving the car, “Guess what? You people can drop me home. Then go and get drunk.”

I said while taking a turn. Eve was the one who forced me to learn driving, so that she could sometimes

relax.

“Leave that topic. I didn’t want to disturb your mental peace. But when are you visiting Justin?” I was not expecting this question from Evelyne sitting beside me.

“What about him? Why should I visit him? Secondly, he is no more here. They left this evening and must

be home by now.”

“So, you don’t want to talk to him. At least listen to his side, Ash.”

“Listen to his side? Don’t you think it’s too late now? He should be the one to initiate the talk. He sidelined me. Threw me out of his life. Turned my life upside down and you expect me to …”

“Ashley!” Aniya spoke from behind, “Slow down the speed.” She seemed terrified, “Eve! This is not a good time to upset her when she is driving. We can have this discussion at home.”

“No,” I clenched the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles must have turned white, “We are not having this discussion. Not now, not ever!”

Both of my friends didn’t dare to argue with me. I never realized until tonight, they always encouraged me to have a dialogue with Justin. Yet never said a word against him.

The rest of the way none of us uttered a single word.

When I stopped the car, I asked them without turning, “You girls go and enjoy!” I said softly and came out of the car.
