Chapter 275 Asking For Too Much (1/2)
Seeing the picture, Ashley let out a long sigh of relief. She looked at Samuel who was lying on the bed silently. The news that Samuel was dead could be announced in two days, and then she would send Samuel to the crematory, inviting her relatives and friends to participate in the mourning ceremony. Then Samuel would be buried.
”Daddy, thank you for helping me out this time.”
The woman in bed was quiet.
”Knock, knock, knock!”
Ashley wiped the tears on her face and said, ”Come in.”
Betty opened the door and said, ”Miss, someone is coming to see you. She says she is your colleague.”
”I see. Please come in. I'm going downstairs now.”
After cleaning up the mess on her face, Ashley reapplied some foundation, and then went downstairs to see the guest. When the guest come in, he or she would be introduced to the living room. She could see who was there in the living room from upstairs. After coming downstairs, Ashley found the figure sitting with her back to her familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
Betty made tea from the kitchen and placed it in front of that guest, who turned her head to thank her.
She stopped when she heard someone call her name. It was Flora. Since she didn't know what Flora was doing here, besides, she and Flora were not good enough to visit each other.
Hearing the footsteps, Flora turned around to look at her, as if to look for trouble. ”It's not easy to see you. I've been waiting for you for so long,” she said.
Ashley went downstairs and sat opposite to Flora, ”I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. What's up?”
”I heard that your father is seriously ill and you even don't have time to go to the film crew. You asked for a leave to look after your father at home, so I specially came here to visit him.”
Ashley didn't believe what Flora had said. After all, she had already offended Flora openly, so she didn't expect that Flora would be so kind-hearted. ”Thank you for your concern, Flora. But my father is sleeping now, and it's not convenient for you to see him. I'm sorry to make you a futile trip.”
”It's okay, as long as you are still awake.”
Clearly, the person behind this had a tongue in the cheek. Since Ashley had been through a life and death crisis recently, her mood was like a roller coaster. She didn't want to waste any time on somebody who was irrelevant. ”Flora, what are you trying to say?”
Flora took a sip of her tea, ”... I heard that you will be the heroine of the movie Shengshi Group invested this year? ”
The expression on Ashley's face froze.
