21- Secret Got Out

Ashley’s pov

I did not argue. I not only used the staircase to cross the wall but also found one more resting outside the room’s window. Using those wooden stairs, I climbed up to the room’s window and got inside the room. Once inside, I peeked through the blinds where a guard was taking the staircase away.

Did Justin know that I went out? Did he know that I was on a job hunt? Tonight, I felt happy. The sense of achievement that I tried to do something for myself was making me euphoric.

The night shift was ideal for me as during the day I could catch up on my sleep.

I paid a visit to the bathroom so that later I could lie on my mattress and catch some sleep. When I entered there, I saw women’s body wash and shampoo set near the basin. Justin’s products were missing from the shelf.

I felt bad. Despite me, being mad at him he was still trying to facilitate me. He knew when I sneaked out and how I did it.

He did not try to put any restrictions. If only he would have told me the truth…

Damn!

Then I decided to tell him about my job. He deserved it. He might find out later, so it was best if I trust him on this.

I might be mad at him but that did not mean I wanted to take advantage of the situation.

I could not talk to him. No maid was there otherwise I would have sent him a message. So, I came up with something.

There was a study table in the corner of the room. The table was occupied by paper pads, ballpoints, and permanent markers. I tore a paper from the writing pad and picked up a pen. After thinking for a few minutes, I wrote in bold letters.

I HAVE GOT A JOB IN ICE CREAM HEAVEN!

I checked the text and then went out. I wanted to go to his study. I did not know in which room he was residing. So, the study room was the safest option. When he would enter here in the morning, he will find it at once.

I went to the door and slid the chit under it. After getting done with my business, I went to my mattress and fell limply on it. There was a slight chance that Justin would not approve my night job. But I needed to be honest to him.

I felt tired. Tired and
