Wake Up Leave The Liar novel Chapter 281

Chapter 259

Mers

Gabriel had asked her and learned that she would be coming here with her family for the holiday, which was why he specifically came over.

When Gabriel asked her that day, Ashley could tell he was very interested upon learning they could go rafting, so she wasn’t surprised to see him now, and asked, “When did you arrive?”

This morning.”

After officially starting work at Eternal, he had always wanted to find an opportunity to ask her out.

But he hadn’t managed to arrange a date even once.

In the past, every time he met her, he either didn’t mention it was at the company, or it was at that one banquet.

When at work, Ashley would dress more formally.

But now Ashley went out with no makeup, wearing a regular sleeveless top and casual pants, and flip-flops on her feet.

The sunlight was just right today, casting a warm glow on Ashley’s face and arms, making her fair skin seem to glow. Compared to how she looked at the office, she now carried a softer, sweeter charm-and was stunningly beautiful.

Both men and women around, many couldn’t help but look her way.

Gabriel watched, his gaze almost glued to her.

Gabriel’s appearance was also outstanding.

He was a few years younger than Ashley, and wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and slippers, he had a clean and fresh aura, looking like a college student.

Ashley’s aunt, Mandy Jones, saw Gabriel and couldn’t help but ask, “Ashley, who is this handsome guy?”

Ashley:”A colleague from Eternal.”

Mandy Jones smiled, and seeing Gabriel’s gaze on Ashley, she felt it wasn’t that simple, but she didn’t expose it. What’s more, Ashley wasn’t divorced yet, and getting involved in other romantic entanglements at this time might not be a good thing.

Thinking of this, she saw that Ashley didn’t seem to have that intention, so she didn’t say anything more.

After chatting to this point, it was their turn.

Ashley waved to Gabriel, just about to leave, when Gabriel said, “If there’s a chance, want to hang out together later?”

Ashley: “Okay.”

Ashley left.

After Ashley’s figure walked away, Gabriel’s friend came over:”I have to say, this Ms. Jones is really pretty, she feels even more delicious than at the banquet that day.”

Gabriel’s face darkened:”Shut up.”

His friend now already knew he was serious about it.

Seeing Gabriel protecting Ashley so much, he made an OK gesture with his hand, then made a zipping motion over his mouth.

Gabriel never got the chance to go rafting with Ashley.

But at dinner, he once again ran into Ashley and her relatives-clearly not by accident.

Ashley’s sunt and uncle warmly invited him and his friends to join them for dinner.

Learning that he was one of the Bings, Steve curiously asked: Why suddenly decide to come back to Hanoria for development?

Remembering his original intention for returning to Hanoria, Gabriel paused slightly while eating, then said:Tm very interested in Eternal’s programming language CUAP and its latest project Infinite-CM, so I wanted to join Eternal to study, and that’s why I came back.”

Regarding Ashley and Eternal Steve and his wife and Amanda basically knew everything.

Hearing this, they all smiled and subtly glanced at Ashley.

Ashley silently lowered her head and ate.

Gabriel, however, didn’t think too much of it.

It’s true that Ashley’s professional abilities are very strong.

But Gabriel had inquired about Ashley and knew she only joined Eternal last year.

Whereas CUAP had existed for many years.

Moreover, the outside world had always said that Eternal’s programming language CUAP was developed by William.

In the eyes of people in the industry, it was only normal for CUAP, being so awesome, to be developed by William.

As for Eternal’s latest project Infinite-CM, he genuinely believed it was developed by Tim leading the team.

After he entered Eternal, he had also had a few interactions with Tim during meetings.

In those few interactions, he could sense that Tim’s professional abilities were indeed very formidable.

Bur his interactions with Tim weren’t particularly deep, so he had no way to compare who was more formidable between Tim and Ashley.

However, from what he saw at work, it seemed Ashley had always been assisting Tim.

Therefore, he also thought that Tim’s professional abilities were even more formidable than Ashley’s.

The Jones Family members were well-mannered, warm, and talkative; after a meal together, Gabriel had a good impression of everyone in the Jones Family

However, after dinner, Ashley and the others left the scenic area and went home.

Gabriel saw Ashley leave, so they didn’t stay in the scenic area for too long either.

The next day, Ashley received a call from Sam again.

Sam was getting ready to return to Hanoria.

He said, “Mom, Dad won’t be back for another two or three days. Are you free? After I get back, I want to come find you and my great-grandmother to play together.”

Ashley remembered Amanda mentioning Sam a few times these past few days. After a two-second silence, she said, “Come on over.”

On the last day of the holiday, after Sam returned to Hanoria, he went directly to the Jones Family home.

He also brought gifts for Ashley and Amanda.

Amanda and Steve were very happy to receive Sam’s gifts.

Ashley saw that in his suitcase, besides their gifts, there were also two gifts he hadn’t given out yet.

It went without saying that he prepared it for Chase and Tanya.

Ashley calmly looked away.

After Sam finished distributing the gifts and his excitement wore off, the fatigue from traveling swept over him. He was also a bit reluctant to leave Ashley. Before falling asleep, he snuggled over and burrowed into Ashley’s arms. After finding a comfortable position in her arms, he hugged the small of her back and fell asleep in her embrace.

He hadn’t showered yet.

But seeing his exhaustion and how soundly he was sleeping, Ashley didn’t wake him up.

Only after he was fast asleep did Ashley put him on the bed.

Sam slept through the night, and the next morning, before Ashley went to work, she took him to school.
