Chapter 290
Matt extended his hand, looking at him and introducing himself:”Matt.”
Gabriel shook his hand.
As their eyes met, both seemed to be saying that when it came to pursuing Ashley, they would each rely on their own abilities.
Releasing his hand, Matt turned back to Ashley, “My presence, it’s bothering you, isn’t it?”
Yes, it is.
But she said tactfully, “A little.”

Sorry, I actually knew you’d find it troublesome, but I still came,” after all, her refusal on the phone was very straightforward, because I felt that only after trying could I be sure if you would change your mind. Now I’ve tried, and I know the answer. I’ll be mindful of the boundaries from now on.
Was he planning to continue pursuing her?
But before she could speak, Matt turned to Tim and said, “Let’s save the visit to Eternal for next time. We won’t disturb you any further this time.” Tim thought Matt was a good man. If Ashley were to start a new relationship after her divorce, he felt Matt would be a good choice.
But Ashley currently had no such thoughts, so he couldn’t interfere too much.
Hearing this, he politely said, “Matt, if you have time, you’re welcome to visit Eternal anytime.”
Matt nodded, and before turning to leave, he looked at Ashley again. Seeing Ashley’s silent demeanor, he seemed to want to ask something, but in the end, he didn’t. He only said, “See you next time.”
Ashley:…Take care.”
Matt left.
Gabriel had previously thought Ashley and Matt were already together.
Seeing this, he realized it was Matt unilaterally pursuing Ashley.
And Ashley had directly rejected his pursuit.
Seeing this, his mood improved quite a bit.
A few moments after Matt left, many employees at Eternal learned that a handsome man had come to the company to see Ashley.
Handsome guy? Is he Ms. Jones’s husband?”
At this moment, Gabriel was sitting in front of the computer.
Upon hearing this, his hand pressing the mouse suddenly stopped, suspecting he heard wrong.
However, before he could speak, another colleague chimed in:”At first, Kylie (the front desk lady) thought so too, but listening to their conversation, that handsome guy seems to be just pursuing her, not her husband!”
“Holy crap, a young stud pursued someone directly to the company? Do you think Ms. Jones’s husband knows about this? If…”
Gabriel finally couldn’t hold back, opening his mouth to interrupt his colleague:”Wait, you said Ashley… is already married?”
“Yeah.” Colleague A said: “You didn’t know?”
Gabriel: I didn’t know.”
Initially, he thought Ashley and Tim were a couple, but after being with the company for a while, he realized that they didn’t really seem like a couple, because while they appeared close, they never went to or from work together; they had a good relationship, but there were no overly intimate gestures.
Noticing this, he had even confirmed it with Ashley.
Ashley herself told him they weren’t a couple.
Colleague A thought for a moment and said, “Oh right, you only joined the company this year. Actually, all the old-timers in the department know
