After Joseph left, Ashley angrily opened the snack cabinet and ate three packs to rest her anger.

She glanced at the time and saw it was almost dinner, but Valentin hadn’t come back yet.

Ashley couldn’t help but send him a message: [Are you busy?]

Valentin replied instantly: [What’s up?]

Ashley was lying on the sofa, raising her calves back and typing on hist phone. She replied: [It’s okay. I just wanted to ask when you would be back.]

Valentin seemed surprised for a moment. [Ashley, are you caring about me?]

Ashley paused.

She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. She typed: [Yes. I’m concerned about when my honey will come back for dinner. You must be tired after working until so late.]

Valentin chuckled. The ending tone was soft and charming, making

Ashley’s heart beat fast. “I’m not busy. I’ll go back right away.”

“Really?” Ashley patted the pillow in her arms. Her eyes were beautiful and bright. “Then I’ll wait for you to come back and have dinner together.”
