Winning My Angry Ex Back のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

Ashley’s POVTo my relief, there was no awkwardness between Jeff and me when we met at the office. We settled into an easy, amicable routine of boss and employee, and neither of us mentioned what transpired between us at my house.For a while, life almost felt normal. Work was great … actually, scratch that! It was better than great. My designs brought in so many clients, including the ones who left before when Claire was still wreaking havoc in the company.I still had some stuff to learn as regards handling such a big company, but now that I no longer had Claire’s suffocating presence looming over me, learning everything was a breeze.I had managed to clear all of Janet’s medical bills, for which she was eternally grateful, and I also had some savings as well.Will and I were now officially dating, and even though I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I was in love with him yet, I couldn’t deny the fact that I actually liked him a lot, and I'm not just talking about liking him as a f

Ashley’s POVThe evening breeze was cool, and I loved the sound it made as it rustled the leaves on the trees in the garden. Janet and I were sitting in the garden, watching Aurora run, while we talked about random things.Janet looked much healthier than she used to, and I was so happy to see it. The late afternoon sun caught the highlights in her hair, and I was glad to see color in her cheeks again.After a while of silence, she cleared her throat, as though she had been building up her courage to speak. I turned to face her and noticed that she looked a little sad.“What is it, Janet?” I asked.“I think it’s high time I got out of your hair, Ashley. You have been incredibly kind to me, and I don’t know how I'm ever going to repay you.” She said.I frowned. “I don’t understand. What are you talking about?”“I intend to move back home sometime this month … maybe as early as next week.”The words caught me off guard. I didn’t like them one bit. I had become so used to having Janet’s

Claire’s POVNever in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I could ever be in the position in which I was currently. It had been over four months since that ungrateful, backstabbing asshole named Jeff fired me, and since then, I hadn’t gotten another job.In fact, my email was filled with rejections from different firms that would have died to have me on their team before now. I had never had to face such a thing in my life, and each new rejection made me want to bash someone’s head in, preferably Ashley’s head.That fucking bitch ruined everything! If she hadn’t come back, things would have stayed perfect, and maybe by now, I would have been Mrs. Claire Wilson and would be heading Wilson Global Fashions.Hmmm … Mrs. Claire Wilson. The name didn’t sound bad at all. Despite myself, I felt a small smile stretch across my face. Who knows, maybe it was still possible, and I shouldn't give up just yet.After all, despite everything that had happened, the truth was that I still wanted Jeff.

Ashley’s POV“She's also your sister.” My father told me wearily.Sometimes, I suspected that this man regretted cheating on his first wife with my Mom, as well as having me. He clearly loved those self-righteous assholes, Dan and Daniella, more than he loved me.I glared at him in irritation. “No, as far as I'm concerned, I don't know either of them. They've always treated me like an outsider, and what happened today simply solidified it.”“Well, you can't blame them, seeing as you don't exactly have the stellar record. Remember all you did when you still worked for the company? When you left, and we discovered the extent of the damage you did, we were relieved you left. Your siblings are right to be wary.”“I don't believe you! You're just going to take their sides?”“I don't run the company anymore, Claire. So I don't know what you want me to do,” He replied tiredly.“Yes, you don't run the company anymore, but you built it. Okay, okay, I admit I didn’t put in my best, but believe

Ashley’s POV“I don't get why that should be strange. I work for him, and you know very well that I travel with him for business purposes. You also travel for business meetings with some of your workers.”“Okay, you have a point, but then why is Jeff suddenly delegating everything, even things that he wouldn't have delegated to Claire, to you? I have the feeling that he is just using you, and you're just too innocent and thankful to have a job to see it. Also, I think he wants to get into your panties.”I gasped, feeling offended. “He's delegating stuff to me because I'm capable, and I'm actually grateful for the opportunity. Besides, he makes sure to always compensate me very well for my work. Do you know how many raises I've gotten since I started working for him?”“That’s exactly what I’m talking about. He's doing you unnecessary favors. You know, the whole thing is ironic, and frankly, also embarrassing as hell.” He said.“The fact that I have a job I excel at nd earn enough money
