Unbreak My Heart

Ashley paused, took a step back and let Tony in.

Normally, Ashley would be kind and polite to Tony. She would greet him with polite or pleasant remarks. After all, Tony and Selma had been nice to her, and they had helped her fit in, when she needed it. Today, Ashley felt different.

She had no interest in niceties with Tony.

Tony himself only came over to check on Ashley and ask her about what happened the day before.

"What happened last night?" Tony asked.

Ashley was sitting on the couch in the living room, with Tony standing beside her.

'What happened last night?'

She didn't want to think about it. The very thought of what happened last night sent chills down her spine.

Ashley wondered how people could be so indifferent and cold to someone in need.

How could people be so heartless?

Ashley looked at Tony. "I think you already know what happened last night, don't you?" Ashley said.

Tony pressed his lips together and did not speak.

Tony did have a good idea about what happened last night. He was just not so sure about the details. He wanted to go straight to the source and ask Ashley all about it.

One look at Tony, and Ashley had a good idea why he was here.

"This isn't really a very safe place, especially at night. I know it looks all neat and dandy in the daytime, but you shouldn't be going out alone, especially at night. I'm sorry if I didn't mention that before," Tony said.

"Yes, you're right. The situation here is a lot different from what I imagined."

Ashley smiled bitterly. After what happened last night she would definitely be a lot more careful.

"Unfortunately, I got into some trouble last night. I just ran as fast as I could. I don't know what else I could have done."

The words came out easily from Ashley

ent notices posted on the walls all around. Ashley would not have a hard time looking for a suitable job.

There were also a lot of people moving about, and going about their own affairs. They were all employed by the big companies.

The various job notices were all also neatly posted all around so people could see them.

Ashley looked around and found there were vacant openings for secretarial work, accountancy, jewelry designing, and many others.

Ashley noticed a fashion design company, and she immediately took some interest in it. She remembered how Andrew had taught her how to draw, and how her love of fashion design had brought them closer together. Those were happy memories that Ashley cherished in her heart.

Seeing Ashley stop, Tony turned to her and asked, "Do you like this one?"

Ashley nodded. "Yes, I use to design clothes and jewelry in another company."

It was the exact same job position that Ashley held in Andrew's company.

Thinking of the past when she was with Andrew in J City, Ashley couldn't help but smile.

When Tony turned around, he happened to see the bright and happy smile on Ashley's face.

He didn't know why Ashley was so happy.
