It's worst when her mom is not present at the moment and she hates dealing with such stubborn and disturbing kids. They stress her a lot. Ashley seems a little bit contemplative. "B-But!!" She stutters." I don't know how to go about it" she let out her worries.She isn't the type to keep quiet when she has no clue about something and she feels less embarrassed expressing herself than hiding her true identity."Let me see" Selene took the files from her and starts flipping through its pages. Her eyes caught sight of her resume and other information.With wide eyes, she stares at her in, disbelief." You've never worked before?" She asked surprised. Ashley nods, fee

Are you not satisfied with making my life hell? What more do I have to offer to get you pest out of my way?" .She burst into laughter, a mockery one. " Oh! I see... You just can't stand seeing me happy, didn't know the almighty princess Jolly could be jealous of a mere commoner like me, a maid like myself" Her once laughing face returned to its cold and stern one, sending chills of death all over the place. "Listen and listen good, I won't tolerate any outrageous behaviour from you, ever again ... Learn your place and stay in your lane as I happily do the same with mine. " She takes three strides to her, " but if y

Just like the previous day, Her little pumpkin sleeps so peacefully with her by her side, watching her inhale and exhale.The night went by fast and the morning came.The sound of the bed cracking could be heard as Miley pushes herself up, yearning."Good morning, Ashley" She greeted stepping down as her feet locates her slippers on the floor.Ashley smiles, "good morning," she said.
