Chapter 36 Rank First In The Test (1/2)

They chatted and laughed for a while. Then Ashley took a taxi and went back home.

In the middle of the night, the city had almost fallen into deep sleep. There were very few cars on the road, and the lights in office buildings, residential areas and commercial streets were almost all out. The road under the dim yellow street lights was like the only safety island hidden in the dark beasts.

”Young girl, it's already late for you to get off work. Aren't you afraid of going home so late?” The driver replied.

Ashley said with a smile, ”I have been practicing martial arts for several years. Most people are no match for me. I can beat three to five people like you can easily.”

”Really? I can't imagine.” The driver replied with a wry smile.

Ashley didn't speak any more and the driver drove the taxi to Jasper's villa peacefully. Ashley got out of the car a little further away and walked in.

There was a special lamp in the villa waiting for her. When she walked through the jungle on the stone path, a fountain slowly appeared in front of her eyes, and a figure sat at the edge of the fountain. Ashley walked close and saw it was a Jasper dressed in home clothes.

”It's so late. Why don't you go to bed?” Her voice was vague in the dark night.

”I'll sleep soon.” With a lighted cigarette between his fingers and one of her legs resting on the ground, Jasper said, ”come and sit down.”

Ashley sat beside him. Behind her was a fountain. Stars were shining in the sky. Such a scene was like a dream to her. She didn't expect that one day she would be so familiar with the industry titan and even live in his home.

”How is the training going?”

”Not bad.”

”It seems that you don't like to talk much. Are you born introverted?” He took a puff and turned to look at her.

Jasper looked very aggressive, both in postures and talking. No matter what words he says, she could always feel a sense of pressure.

”Not really. That depends. I'm talkative with friends. I don't talk too much with stranger.”

”Tell me something about you and Francis. Do you still keep in touch with him?”

Noticing that the question was a bit dangerous, Ashley smiled to cover it up. ”Is it for work or just a chitchat between friends?”

”Both. Is there any difference?”

”If we are friends, I don't want to talk about this topic. If it is about work .”

”Tell me.” Jasper ignored her tricks and interrupted.

Ashley frowned. She hated it when others were interfering in her privacy, especially when someone was forcing her to answer questions like Jasper. But as a man who had been in a high position for a long time, he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his attitude. Ashley was angry but she didn't want to offend him. So she adjusted the breath and tried to be as peaceful as possible, ”We had contact, merely contacts between friends.”

”What about in emotional aspect, did you end the relationship with him?”

Upon hearing this, Ashley couldn't help pressing her lips more tightly. If the man in front of her was not her boss who could determine her fate, she would have left without hesitation.
