Alex removed his wrist watch and tie, he went to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with cold water, he scooped Ashley up and carried her to the bathroom, he threw her in the water to calm her down, he wasn't gentle at all.
The water seemed to work as Ashley began to calm down a bit but her whole body was red due to the effect of the drug. She stayed in there for an hour and he took her out to prevent her from catching a cold. The doctor was already waiting outside, after Ashley was dressed, the doctor injected an antidote to the drug which completely calmed her down and stopped the redness in her body. She slept peacefully throughout the night.
The next morning, Ashley woke up opening her eyes groggily, she remembered the events of yesterday. She was drugged by Miss Brianna and later ran into Alex but what happened afterwards, she couldn't remember. She checked herself and saw that she was dressed in a clean well covered pajamas.
What happened later on? Ashley tried to get up from the bed but her legs wobbled making her to fall back on the bed and just that moment, the already dressed Alex walked into the room.
You are finally awake.
Ashley looked at her feet embarrassed of the yesterday event, he must have seen her looking so slutty last night. I'm sorry for troubling you last night and thank you for helping me out. I….,
It was just the first day of the contract and you already breached a clause in the contract. Did you read the terms at all? Didn't see where it was stated that you must quit that damned job?
I read it, I just went to finalize things there, I didn't expect things to turn out that way. I…..
Oh well, you didn't look like someone who wants to finalize things, you seem like someone who was definitely enjoying what she was doing.
Excuse you, Ashley interrupted him.
Look I don't care about your personal life or job, but as long as you're a party in this agreement then you will follow my rules, that's what I paid you for. Get your things here tonight, you'll be moving in to the main house, my mom will be discharged tomorrow so you have to act accordingly.
I understand, Ashley said. She didn't need to start an argument with him.
Alex didn't have anything more to say so he left the house.
Ashley decided to freshen up, she still needed to go to the hospital. She finished freshening up and saw a new dress on the bed. She was just thinking of what to do about her clothing. She took the dress, he' so grumpy but still thoughtful, maybe living with him wouldn't be a problem. She had just finished dressing up when someone entered the room unexpectedly.
Who are you and what are you doing here?
Ashley was surprised by the question, could she be Alex's girlfriend or….,
I just asked a question, are you dumb?
Alex brought me here.
Aunty Lucy, auntttttt, Cassy called out.
Aunty Lucy walked in, young Miss, I didn't know you dropped by.
Who's this woman and why is she in my brother's room?
Oohh, she's the young master's guest, he brought her last night.
What! You slept with my brother?
So, she is his sister, Ashley thought to herself.
The young master instructed that we take care of her before she leaves.
You can go, Cassy instructed the housekeeper and she left.
You, who do you think you are to sleep in my brother's room, for your information my brother has a girlfriend whom he really loves so you can't trap him with your cheap tricks.
Me, cheap tricks? I think you are mistaken Miss.
Hmph, you're just one of this gold diggers who are after money but I promise you, you won't be getting any so better stay away from my brother.
Seems like Alex had not informed his family of the marriage, she did better leave. Sure, sure, I will stay away from your brother. I was about leaving so if you would excuse me, Ashley said walking out of the room.
Madam, the boss asked me to escort you to get your stuff here.
What Madam, Ashley was embarrassed. No need, I can find my way here and I still need to do somethings before coming.
The boss insisted that I have to escort you here and it's really hard getting a taxi around here, I will wait for you to get your activities done.
Ashley thought about it, since Alex instructed him, she shouldn't waste his goodwill, she got into the car.
Where are we going?
To Imperial hospital.
Ashley got to Imperial hospital and went to see the doctor, the date for her brother's surgery was scheduled.
She spent some time with her brother and instructed the caregiver to take care of him.
Ashley got to her tiny old rented apartment, it's only had single bedroom and a sitting room. She used the bedroom while her brother slept in the living room. Though the apartment was small, it held alot of memories of them. She went to her room and packed some of her clothes and daily essentials, she would be back in a month at most, she added some of her favorite books and everything fitted in one suitcase.
The driver tried to take her luggage as soon as she stepped out, he had followed and waited for her the whole day.
It's okay, I can do it.
No madam, it's my job.
Ashley didn't argue further and left it to him, they drove to Maple Residence.
Alex wasn't back yet so Ashley needed to wait for him and she fell asleep while at it.
