All Chapters of The Day She Chose Herself, He Begged For A Second Chance.: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

The sound of the door opening got Cameron's attention. He spared a brief glance at Ashley and looked back at his opened computer, Suddenly, he froze and stared back at her fully. She tried to shy away from his intense stare. It was almost as if he spotted something on her face.Of course he did spot the slight swell on the left side of her face and also the way she walked with a little difficulty. Although, Ashley applied little makeup to her face to cover the dark circles under her eyes but it wasn't hidden under the scrutinizing gaze of her boss."You don't look good. What happened to your face?" He questioned turning on the chair to get a proper glimpse of her and to his amazement, she chuckled lightly at his question like it wasn't a big deal at all. How could she tell her boss that her stupid husband was the one who inflicted those injuries on her? She had just two choices which comes with a heavy price to pay."Oh. It's a little silly. I slipped and fell on the bathroom floor

Ashley fell on her knees breathing heavily. She tried to stop herself from screaming. Keith stood up from the couch and rushed to his mother on the ground. The spot on her neck where the belt had met turned deep red. "Get the hell back Keith!" Andrew snapped at the kid and to his amazement, Keith rushed to him and bit him hard on his hand."You're a bad man!" Annoyed at what the kid did, Andrew raised the belt ready to hit Keith but it was held back by Ashley. She stared at him straight in the eye. "Just because I let you hit me doesn't necessarily mean that I'm weak to retaliate. But if you dare try to lay a finger on my son, you'll regret it!" Andrew was taken back, he tried to pull the belt out of her grip but she held onto it like her life depended on it."How dare you?!" His voice rumbled alongside the thunder. The weather was gradually changing and soon it began to pour down heavily.Seeing that she wasn't ready to back down, he grabbed Keith and began leading him to the d

Ashley pushed the door slightly and stepped in. Cameron hadn't raised his head to look at her yet. He was concentrated on his phone. "Good morning boss, these are every file needed for today" She said while placing the files on his desk. He hummed in response and didn't look up at all. Meanwhile, Ashley still hesitated to speak. When she finally mustered enough courage she started speaking. "I'm deeply grateful for what you did for me yesterday" Cameron finally raised his head to stare at her. He was rendered speechless for a few seconds. His eyes slowly travelled the length of her body and when he saw the length of her gown, he had this unsettling feeling at the back of his mind. He pulled his eyes off from her immediately fisting a palm underneath the table in a tight ball. He didn't realize how annoyed he was until he tossed his phone to the table. Ashley gulped down. His demeanor wasn't what she had expected from him. After all she was just trying to express how grateful she

"Look who came running back" The sarcastic response from the lady made Ashley roll her eyes. She had just fifteen minutes to talk to the mother and daughter before lunch break was over.As it appears, Cameron indeed fulfilled his promise of having lunch with the new secretary so that they could bond well like old days."I demand to see your mother" Ashley said straight up which made Winnie's brows arch. "And what exactly do you need her mother for?" Recognizing the voice behind her, she turned around to face her step mother, Lucy Hart. The very same lady who ruined her mother's life by getting entangled with her husband."I need to speak to you urgently" The mother and daughter shared brief gazes before looking around the full restaurant. They had no choice than to leave for their office unless they want the customers to hear some nasty secrets about the people who runs the restaurant.Once they got to the office space meant for Lucy, Ashley took a seat before her while Winnie sto

His question caught her off guard. She instantly shook her head with a chuckle. She was so broke to even afford her son's fees not to talk of owning a car. "No I don't"Cameron fell into a deep thought. If she doesn't own a car, then whose car was parked in her garage last night? He shook his head slightly to brush off every thought that he was having. After all, she was only his employee. Why worry about her so much? And like always, that blurry image flashed past his eyes. He held his head in pain. Noticing that she was still around, he dismissed her. Once she was gone, he reached for a drawer attached to the desk and pulled out a small plastic containing white pills. He grabbed the bottled water resting on the desk and popped a pill into his mouth. ****Ashley turned off her computer and proceeded to the door with Brittany waiting behind for her. Cameron also stepped out of the office and began walking behind them. The three got into the elevator which went awfully silent. N
