ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 15: The Chairman
Ashley laughed at his words and shook her head, thinking that he was just joking. 'How can he be the Chairman?' She thought. She completely disregarded the idea that it might be true, although it was not really an impossible thing. But her mind had assumed that Ashton was wealthy due to his father's inheritance and probably just being one of the shareholders of AG Atelier. It did not even occur in her mind that he would be capable of establishing a fashion company as remarkable as AG Atelier. Ashton just smiled amidst her laughter, had not even felt offended that she did not believe him. Seeing him not saying anything and just staring at her, Ashley slowly put her laughter to a halt. "You're kidding, right? How is that even possible?" She said softly while focusing on his face. "And why is that impossible for you?" He replied with a chuckle. He started the company when he was twenty-two, still studying art at a local university at that time. That decision was made directly after La
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 16: Marriage Announcement
'Did he only act nice just to me?' Ashley murmured her confusion internally. Her eyes slowly went down to see the news on the tablet screen as Ashton showed it to her. "The photographer made a great job yesterday. This wedding photo was the one that I liked the most," he remarked. "But it didn't show our faces," Ashley responded. "I know. That's why it's a perfect photo to be used for our marriage announcement." "Why didn't you allow the press to publish our full-face or full front body photos?" Ashley was curious to know about it since she heard well enough what Ashton discussed with his PA previously. The man chuckled and shifted his eyes to her. "I'm a businessman, not a celebrity. But the paparazzi won't leave me alone if they know what I look like. I'd been there before facing that situation back then when my father died. The media published my photos without my permission and I'd been harassed publicly by a lot of paparazzi wanting to dig up my story. So, I made a rule with
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 17: Meeting Room
'What's that supposed to mean?' Ashley murmured internally while gulping in nervousness. Her husband stood up, went to the door and locked it. Then he approached her again with his domineering steps and suddenly picked her up from the chair and made her sit at the meeting table. Her legs were spread open and he went to stand in between them, intentionally making his crotch come in contact with her private part.His hands slowly lurked around her neck and holding the back of it firmly and then ran up to stroke the back of her head. He tilted his head a bit while slowly going nearer to hers and landed a kiss on her red plumpy lips. It was a long passionate one that Ashley went breathless by it naturally."Ashton..." she gasped with both her hands pressed against his chest as that man suddenly pushed her body down to lie on the meeting table with his body inclined on top of her."I guess this is the perk of getting married. We're allowed to do this whenever we want without anyone judging
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 18: Not Fair
"Where's Flora and her team?" Ashton replied with a stern face but with a solemn smile on his face, showing his sense of authority again."They're over there. Checking the measurement of the new female models we received today," Hillman turned his head around and pointed his index finger towards the top right corner of the studio space. There was a small stage there with about ten women on the platform. Each of them stood straight while Flora and her team were checking their body measurements.Ashley fixed her eyes on Flora's team and the models. She could see Flora shaking her head a bit and frowning before she split the models into two groups. Ashton went there and Ashley naturally followed him. She had a thought that he might pass her over to Flora before he leaves for his meeting."How many?" Ashton suddenly asked out of the blue and all the models standing on the platform turned their gazes on him directly."Hmm... just three for today, sir. But we had two who reached over sixty
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 19: Her Playground
Ashley thought that the Rose Academy was only on that level. Turned out the academy was actually the biggest department inside the company because they also took space down until Level 40, making it eleven levels in total for all the designers and models to work together. Level 50 was actually the main part where the products from designers were brought to be photoshoot and then put inside the AG Atelier fashion magazine called Fashion Atelier, similar to the name of the online shopping app that was owned by the company. After going around the studio for almost twenty minutes, Romano interrupted the couple. He bravely tapped on Ashton's shoulder to remind that man about the shareholders' meeting. "Right..." Ashton seemed like he had just remembered that thing again. Truthfully, it really did slip his mind. Romano had a worried expression on his face because his boss had postponed that meeting earlier and looked like now he was going to be late as well to attend it. The shareholders
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 20: His Explanation
"It's unfair..." he said slowly."Unfair? About what?" Ashley was confused. Her eyes looked forward again, waiting for him to respond."Hillman sent these to my email," he showed his phone to her and she saw all the pictures taken by the photographers at the Rose Academy while she tried on several clothes there."You were having fun while I'm working hard," he murmured and gently bit her right earlobe. Ashley instantly cringed her body backwards, falling onto his chest with his unexpected bite. He chuckled while releasing the bite then slowly embedded his face on her neck, doing what he would normally do, smelling her delicate fair skin there and kissing it a few times."You'll leave hickeys there if you do that," Ashley budged her neck away from him."Honey... we're inside a fashion company. How long do you think it would take for me to find a scarf to cover your neck later?" He asked her rhetorically. Certainly, he was not interested at all to hear her response and just simply conti
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 21: Her Past With Karl
"How could I? You're my wife. I won't have the heart to correct you in front of everyone else. You'll feel embarrassed that way and might probably don't want to come here with me again. I, as a husband, should at least save your face," he said charmingly and that melted her heart to the core."But... it's going to cause your work to become less efficient at Rose Academy. Because you will need more time to rearrange the models there.""No, honey..." he grabbed her chin and made her meet his gaze. She looked dejected as if she was making a grave mistake."You had a point about what you said earlier. About me being unfair. I acknowledged that. I guess it's time for me to change my way anyhow. After all, AG Atelier had stood with a strong foundation now. Everyone that worked here was an expert. I'm sure a little change to the modelling agency wouldn't affect anything. Sure enough, Hillman and Flora would be able to manage those changes. In fact, I think even though I told them to stop usi
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 22: The Ex's Wedding
"Are you done?" Ashton suddenly came out of the bathroom and approached his wife, casually wrapping his arms around her waist again from behind. He loved embracing Ashley like that.Ashley's mind came back to reality and she immediately gazed up to see her husband's reflection in the vanity mirror in front of them. He wore a white suit this time to match her attire. That was one of the things she loved about him. He was always considerate enough to make sure they looked good together as if they were a match made from heaven. Surely, his sophisticated appearance never failed to become such a debonair in her eyes, probably even in other women's eyes as well."Yeah, I think so..." Ashley replied. The fact that her husband was supporting her to go to her ex's wedding and wanted to help her piss off Karl was truly inconceivable.Normally, this was the part where a husband would feel jealous. But Ashton showed no sign of that at all. In fact, he looked pretty confident and reserved. He coul
