Seeing Gabriel clearly there for Ashley, Chase’s steps faltered. He shot Gabriel a look, but said nothing, just turned and left.

Watching Chase walk away, then looking back at Ashley, who was in her pajamas, fresh out of the shower, Gabriel frowned. The realization hit him.

It was obvious. Chase had been there for Ashley too.

But Chase and Ashley They had absolutely no business together. No common ground at all.

Even if it was work-related, Mr. Harrison from Sterling Corp should have been the one talking to Tim. Why would Chase himself show up

at this hour

for Ashley

Ashley saw Gabriel’s thoughtful expression, his eyes darting between her and where Chase had been. She probably knew what he was thinking, but she didn’t offer any explanations. Is something up she asked instead. It’s pretty late.

Gabriel snapped back to reality. Just had a thought, he said. Wanted to run it by you in more detail.

This thought, of course, was about work.

Ashley nodded. Come on in, she said.

She was staying in a luxury suite, and it was super spacious, even having a dedicated workspace.

After Gabriel sat down on the couch, he just couldn’t help himself. Why was Mr. Sterling here so late, looking for you too he asked. Then, afraid she’d get the wrong idea, he quickly added, I don’t mean anything by it, I’m just… surprised.

When he’d walked in on them earlier, neither Ashley nor Chase had a hint of guilt on their faces.

Clearly, there was definitely nothing going on between them.

Still, he couldn’t wrap his head around why Chase would come find Ashley by himself.

Ashley opened her laptop. Hearing his question, her face remained expressionless as she said flatly, He needed to talk about something personal.

Personal business

Gabriel paused. Then, he suddenly remembered Tanya.

It suddenly clicked that Ashley and Tanya had some beef between them.

So, Chase coming to see Ashley was to sort out the drama between her and Tanya

But thinking about it now, he suddenly remembered that his decision to come back to the States and join Eternal was also connected to Tanya.

Yet, recalling it now felt like something that happened ages ago…

Ashley then shifted the conversation to work matters.

Gabriel had never once considered Chase and Ashley together, and he also felt that given Ashley’s character, she wouldn’t get romantically involved with someone else’s boyfriend. When Ashley mentioned Chase came to see her about private matters and seemed disinclined to elaborate, he assumed she didn’t want to talk about Tanya, so he didn’t press further. He earnestly discussed work with Ashley.

Gabriel had indeed come to Ashley with some new ideas for work, but… it was impossible to say he had no ulterior motives.

As Ashley discussed work with him, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to her.

Her slightly damp long hair, the glistening moisture still clinging to the nape of her neck…

Gabriel’s throat suddenly felt dry. He abruptly shifted his gaze, then cleared his throat lightly, unable to help but say, Maybe you should dry your hair

first

Ashley nodded. Alright. You go ahead and organize that info, I’m gonna dry my hair.
