Chapter 20
She looked at Justin coldly.“I won’t do this. I’m leaving.”
Justin’s face turned cold.” Ashley, be professional! Don’t you know who’s the boss?!”
Ashley picked up her bag. “If you’re unhappy, fire me.”
“You… He knew she’d resigned. He was trusted by Chase, but he couldn’t fire her–Chase’s grandmother, Emily Sterling, loved her. If she complained to Emily about him, he might be the one who got fired.
Ashley left. Justin stormed off. Alex saw him, asking, “What happened?”
Justin told him the whole thing. Alex was surprised, because he knew Ashley well.“This isn’t like her. Is there a misunderstanding? “No, that’s exactly the word she used. I’m just quoting here.”

Alex and Justin exchanged glances.
“He might have forgotten that?”
“Probably.” He never cared about Ashley.
Sam was close to Amanda. In the past, Ashley always took Sam to see Amanda. But Sam hadn’t called her since he came back. Instead, he called Tanya every day. Ashley didn’t want to force him. And if Amanda knew about this, she’d be furious. So, she went to visit Amanda alone.
