Chapter 32 The Embarrassing Morning (1/2)
On Monday, Ashley went to the company. She got up, washed herself and put on her clothes, and then opened the door to go downstairs.
Ashley thought that Jasper and Nelson had gone to school and went to work respectively, but she saw that Jasper was reading a magazine on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing her coming down, Abbott shouted in the kitchen, ”good morning, Miss Fang. What would you like to eat today?”
”Good morning, uncle Abbott. Please help me make a bowl of clear soup noodles.”
The noodles Abbott made were not simple noodles. They were with chicken soup. The bowl was surrounded by green lettuce, which was covered with a half cut tea egg. He also prepared a dish of pickled cucumber, a dish of garlic and broccoli, a dish of pickled beef with soy sauce, a dish of appetizer peppers with soy sauce, and a dish of appetizing sauce.
Without tasting it, Ashley had a good appetite.
She took a sip. The hand-made noodles tasted soft and smooth. With a faint aroma of chicken soup, her empty stomach was immediately overwhelmed.
”Uncle Abbott, you are a good cook. It's tasty!” Ashley gave a thumbs up sign.
Abbott laughed and said, ”Ms. Fang, tell me what you like to eat. I will prepare semi-finished products for you, so that you can eat at any time.”
Jasper was attracted by the interaction between the two, he looked away from the magazine in her hand. While Ashley was eating, her cheeks were bulging. She was now overwhelmed with happiness by the delicious noodles. Jasper was already full. Looking at the way she ate, he felt a little hungry.
After dinner, Ashley washed her hands and took her bag. When she was about to say goodbye to Jasper, he also stood up, ”Let's go.”
Ashley was stunned, keeping her mouth open. Was he waiting for her just now?
Before she could say anything, Jasper had already left and distanced herself behind. So Ashley quickened her pace to catch up with him and said, ”I didn't know you were waiting for me. Sorry for keeping you waiting so long.”
”It's no problem.” Jasper replied in a casual manner, indicating that he didn't care about it at all.
”You are so busy. I can go to the company by myself. I feel sorry to bother you.”
As soon as Jasper came to a halt, he looked back with his back to the sun. Ashley could not see his face clearly. She only felt the person who stood in front of her was very tall. ”It doesn't bother me at all. Whether you live here or you hitch a lift to the company. Just accept it at ease.”
She nodded subconsciously.
”If you really feel bothered, you can get up earlier next time.” The man smiled and left.
Ashley was so embarrassed that her face blushed like a rising sun.
Henry had arrived already, leaning against the car with his eyes closed by the fountain. As soon as he heard the voice, Henry opened his eyes and saw it was Jasper, so he quickly opened the door of the back seat for him.
