Taming Asher Chapter 85 - Cocky and Annoying
Regan eyed me suspiciously. "Are you daring me?”As much as she was trying to play the hard man, I knew she was surprised I didn't give a hoot."Perhaps, she believes she has a lot of backup now.” Lisa said with spite.Oh yeah? Is that what it looked like?"You know what? I'll give you one last opportunity.” Regan said, letting down her phone. “Come to our house after school." “Why?" I demanded with scorn. I don't see how it had anything to do with the video."I'm not calling you over to stay. I've got a job offer for you. The pay is amazing.” She said. "It's my mum offering it anyway, not me. So don't disappoint her. She made a good referral for you already." She turned around to go.“Tell her I'm not interested, okay?" I wasn't sure if Regan heard me, but I didn't care. The team had practice after school, and Asher pleaded with me and Ralph to wait.Ordinarily, I would have left for his grandma's store or Suzella's house, but Suzella said she was going out of town with Corn for so
Taming Asher Chapter 84 - A Challenge
“We meet again today, Mrs. Thorne." Mr. Rockwell, Xena’s dad, greeted with a plastered smile. Mrs. Thorne responded very sweetly. “Oh, it's so good to see you here. I also came to have dinner with the kids." “Ah…I see.” His gaze rested on me.Xena’s brother was cute, no doubt. Was he a model or an actor? He had the perfect build of one. I think he looked familiar. I felt very uncomfortable with the way he stared at me. I would rather prefer his sister's blazing eyes.“Aren't these the scholarship students in their sophomore?” Mr. Rockwell asked with a hint of scorn."Yeah, they are Asher's friends. They're also the top of their class too. Very nice girls.” Mrs. Thorne said smoothly."Hi, I'm Danny.” Xena’s brother stretched his hand to me for a handshake to my surprise. "And you are?”"I… I'm confused.” I said without taking his hand."Why?” He asked. Lord his bass voice was what every girl will die for.I shook my head in hesitation and finally took his hand not to keep it hanging.
Taming Asher Chapter 83 - Mrs. Kindness
"Here's the thing.” I heaved tiredly. "I'll go with them and pick up my bags myself, so I can properly thank their parents for their help so far." I explained.I think Suzella was glad at my response, and I was happy she understood.I refused to enter Asher’s car in the school, and walked out with Suzella instead. I told him to face his practice with the others, and come pick me up at his grandma's store later. I wanted to say hi to her. Besides, Suzella had some little errands to run for her.Mrs. Kent was very happy to see us. We had arrived just in time. There was a heavy surge of customers, and Marie was absent again. “Don't you think you should employ more workers?" Suzella asked her sharply after the mass of customers had toned down. Marie was back by then, and Mrs. Kent offered us cup noodles as we sat at a table, discussing.“I need just two workers. I have Marie already, so I will need just one more person." She said.I didn't feel very comfortable because her gaze lingered
Taming Asher Chapter 82 - Where Will You Go?
"Having fun with my girlfriend?” He demanded stiffly.Terry and Matt who were behind him erupted in loud cheers, clapping. I was irritated when Suzella joined too.Ralph laughed, patting Asher gently on the chest. "Hey, today's my first day, bro. Let's not do this.”“Exactly. Let's not do this." I turned around abruptly and hurried off way ahead of them. I wasn't going to stand with them to my embarrassment. Unfortunately, I walked into Xena and her subordinates, Eva and Jamie.Xena gave me a hard condescending stare, and they blocked my way as I tried to walk past."You dared come back, huh? Aren't you scared of dying?”I took out my phone and put it on record. "You care to repeat what you said?”Xena snatched the phone before I could blink, and smashed it hard on the floor.Now I would have to get a new one after school.“Why don't you pick a fight with me instead, and leave her out of this?" Asher toned behind me. My heart raced. We'd just barely resumed. I turned around and push
Taming Asher Chapter 81 - A New Clique
Thick awkward silence hung between us as he drove out. I knew he was very mad over what his aunt said, and I guess it was my fault for bringing Xena up in the first place. But then, it was his fault too. He was going to sound like he didn't have any clique, and I was just trying to point that out."You're quiet.” He said as we drove out of the estate.“I'm sorry I brought up Xena." He smiled wryly. “We only did it once. And that was because I was drugged. I never did it again with her. She disgusts me." “I understand." I murmured. “Well, you'll be dropping me off at Suzella's.” It wasn't worth dampening the mood with this Xena talk."This morning? Why? Your bags are still at our place, you know.”"Yeah, I know. Perhaps, you could help me with it tomorrow, huh? I just want us to go to school together. I need some heads up at least on the latest updates.”"Fine, if you insist." I gave him some little directions and he dropped me off.Suzella was still rushing her breakfast when I arr
Taming Asher Chapter 80 - A Scary Kindness
She was seated on the swivel chair, next to the study table, waiting for me. “You slept longer than I imagined. I guess you had lot of sleepless nights back in Red Wing." She began.I cleared my throat. “Yeah."“I met Asher on his way here earlier. He said he was going to lend you his laptop, but I told him not to bother. I got a new spare. I thought you should have it.” She patted the new laptop on the table.My eyes grew wide with surprise. Why was she doing this? Was it really okay to accept a gift from her? Does she really like me now?"Wow, thank you. I'm grateful for the offer, but you don't have to bother. I intend to get a new one before the end of this week." “I didn't have to bother to get this. All I had do was bring it out from where it laid in my cabinet, gathering dust. It's brand new. The boys have two laptops each. I've got mine too, and their dad as well. So, I don't have need for this one. Just accept it okay? It's nothing.”It's nothing? From what I could see from
Taming Asher Chapter 79 - Happy Dinner Contest
Did I just hear her correctly?“You…you want me to stay here?”"If you agree.” She shrugged. "My boys are always edgy around girls like they're aversive or something, but they seem very comfortable around you. You're the first girl I'd see humble Ralph. I don't care what's going on between you and
Taming Asher Chapter 78 - Mrs. Thorne's Offer
"Hi mum!" Ralph threw his greeting at her, diving into the car, while he left his luggage on the floor. “Help me with my luggage, Ash." His dad picked it up and made his way to the trunk. I and Asher followed with ours.No doubt the car was maddeningly exotic. A black range rover autobiography. Th
Taming Asher Chapter 77 - Like Siblings
"What do you mean by once we get home?” I asked him with a sneer after the plane took off. "I'm not coming to your place.” I told him, taking out my phone as I took several shots of the window, capturing the clouds. "Of course, you would. You have to greet my dad anyway, he paid for your flight.”
Taming Asher Chapter 76 - Finally?!
My mum's statement literally crushed me. I tried hard to control my breathing and act like everything was normal. “And how much are we talking about here?" “It's about five thousand dollars left, dear. And guess what? We barely have up to a thousand bucks in our savings currently." “How about th
