Chapter51
Sherry found it strange. Was Alex stopping female employees from getting close to Chase? She asked, “Ashley, have you never
coffee delivered
to Mr. Sterling yourself?*
“Sometimes, when Alex is busy, I do.’
Sherry liked coffee but didn’t want to learn how to make it. Her eyes lit up.“Ashley, can you teach me how to make coffee to Mr. Sterling’s liking?”
Ashley saw through her.“Sure.” She’d given up on Chase; what was the point of keeping this skill? Nex saw this and was surprised. He and Justin had believed Ashley wouldn’t leave willingly. They expected her to make a move when Sherry came, since Sherry was beautiful. But Ashley had been friendly with Sherry and was now teaching her how to make coffee? What was going on? Ashley finished her work, declined Sherry’s dinner invitation, and left to have dinner. When she was on her way home, her phone rang. It was Sam.
“Mom, are you free?”
Ashley, in her car, asked, “What’s up?”
“I want crispy pork and radish soup. Can you make it for me?”
Ashley paused. They weren’t officially divorced, and Chase hadn’t asked her to move out. She believed he wouldn’t mind if she went home to cook. But she was tired and she had plans tonight. Sam was her responsibility, but she had a life too. She wouldn’t sacrifice her time unconditionally.
“I’m busy today. Maybe next time.”
