Trial Of The Senses

Biting her lips, Ashley was ashamed and angry. She blushed and felt ashamed. Her previous nervousness faded like a tide. She tried to keep her yes from him. After that, she found that she was useless. 'He just ignored you. There are so many people who don't want to see you and so many people scold you. Why are you so angry?'

With these thoughts in her mind, she walked towards his desk with the usual playful smile on her face. She sat on the opposite chair. "Mr. Jasper, why do you brush me off?"

"What are you doing here?"

She came to apologize, but she couldn't say directly, "I know you peeped at me and Francis. I want to tell you it was not true. Don't be angry. I'll break up with him soon." This expression was very testing.

Ashley said half-jokingly, "I come to see you. I miss you because I haven't seen you for a long time."

As soon as she entered the room, Jasper's face turned capricious. Perhaps he was frightened by Ashley. He broke the way he looked when she first entered the room, but he still frowned and said with disgust. "Don't be so unserious as Flora."

Hearing that, Ashley's face turned a little pale. She secretly clenched her fist and said, "I like Flora. She is an easy-going person."

"I heard that somebody praised me," Half-opening the door, Flora smiled at him through the crack.

"Close the door and stay away from my office!" Jasper demanded through gritted teeth.

Flora curled her lips and reluctantly took back her foot that had reached in and closed the door. With the sound of door closing, the office fell into silence, and the pressure spread from the place of Jasper to all directions, with Ashley in the center of the source, lowering her head and not daring to breathe.

Calmness was just the prelude to the storm.

Just as she was waiting for being scolded, the scorching sight above her disappeared. "Why don't you shoot today?"

'I've been waiting for such a long time. He just asked such a tangential question!' "We have finished shooting. The crew will change the shooting spot today. The actors have a day off. I will go to the new site to film at night," replied Ashley after a careful consideration

"Since you're not busy with the filming, why don't you try other movies? Don't always do something meaningless."

Hearing what he said, Ashley blushed. She knew what he meant clearly.

"You look energetic today. I'll arrange other activities for you. You can go and do some work before you finish the shooting,"

Ashley, "..."

'Was it because he failed to persuade her break up with Francis, so he turned to arrange working for her?' In case that she spent all her time in working and she wouldn't have time in flirting with Francis.

"Do you have any comments?" seeing Ashley was hesitating to reply, Jasper asked.

She had no objection, instead, she was very glad to do that. Since that night, every time when Ashley met Francis, she couldn't get used to his touch, and she felt guilty to him. She was worried that she couldn't find an excuse to avoid him. Now that Jasper arranged so many works for her, she was happy to dodge Francis, and besides, she could make more money.

"No, I don't." She shook her head

ley felt the same. "Bye, Flora. Go home and have a good rest."

After Flora left, Ashley checked her watch and it was only three o'clock. She had to wait for a few hours to have dinner. She put her handbag on the table of the meeting room and planned to take a nap.

She didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, she felt her neck was about to break. She carefully held her poor neck and sat up slowly. A coat was slipped from her body, half hanging on the chair, and half on the ground. Ashley picked up the coat and had a look. She recognized it was from Jasper. She checked the time on her watch. It was almost 6:00 pm. Outside the conference room, it was getting dark.

"You wake up, Ashley," The secretary opened the door from the outside and said, "Mr. Jasper said that you can leave with him when you are awake. Please come out."

With Jasper's coat in one of her arms and her bag in the other, Ashley went out with the secretary, twisting her neck. The secretary went to the door of Jasper's office and knocked. "Mr. Jasper, Ashley is awake."

"Okay, I know."

After another two or three minutes, Jasper went out of his office with his car key. He went to Ashley, took his coat over and put it on. "Let's go."

Remembering that she had just put the coat on, Ashley was in a trance again.

Jasper drove her to a western restaurant. In her memory, he liked Chinese food a lot. This was the first time she had seen him come to a western restaurant.

The restaurant was on the top floor of the most bustling commercial street. Before they entered the door, they heard the melodious music, ' Still crazy in love' by Sarah Connor.

A handsome waiter bowed to them and said in unison, "welcome."

The whole restaurant was in a round circle, painted as dark as deep coffee. The periphery of the restaurant was surrounded by a circle of guests. The light above the guests' seats was dim. It seemed that the guests were couples. Some were whispering intimately, some were staring at each other with a smile. In the dim light, the faces of those couples looked a little vague. It was a restaurant for couples.
