Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 48

After returning to the hotel, Joseph checked his phone and grinned. “Oh, Valentin is finally here! I’ll head back to my room right now so as not to disturb you guys, okay?”

Ashley found it strange and asked, “Who said you’re disturbing?”

Joseph patted his chest proudly. “I know you don’t mind me, but I have a keen sense. I don’t want to be a third wheel.”

Ashley was speechless.

Joseph approached her with a meaningful smirk. “Valentin definitely doesn’t want me to be a third wheel either.”

Ashley rolled her eyes at him.

Before she could respond, Joseph swiftly disappeared.

Ashley stroked her forehead helplessly and walked to the floor–to–ceiling window, from which she could enjoy the breathtaking view of the entire resort.

She had to admit that the scenery here was indeed impressive.

Ashley admired the scenery for a while, then turned around to scan the room. She instantly felt something was off when her gaze landed on the only bed in the room.

At this moment, the room door was knocked open.

Valentin had returned.

His appearance was overwhelmingly handsome, especially in his white shirt. He had broad shoulders, a muscular waist, and long legs that exuded an elegant and noble temperament.

Valentin casually reached out and loosened his tie.

His well–defined fingers and slightly protruding Adam’s apple conveyed a unique charm.

Ashley blushed at the unexpected question and retorted, “Stop making things up.”

Valentin loosened his tie again and asked carelessly, “Alright, then. Do you have something to tell

me?”

Ashley’s eyelashes trembled as she glanced at him. She cleared her throat awkwardly and said. “Um. I’d like to thank you for playing that video.”

Valentin’s gaze turned abruptly intense at her words.
