Janet blinked her eyes in disbelief, and felt a bit dizzy.
It was as if she just hit the jackpot and only regained her composure after some time. She looked pleasantly surprised and
opened the door, “Ms. Berry, sure! I’d be glad to. Hurry, get on the car.”
All of a sudden, she felt proud as a peacock and eyed Charlotte who was just nearby, “Hey Charlotte, are you seeing this? I’m
fetching Ms. Berry today.”
The little girl’s eyes reddened at the sight and peered at Ashlyn.
Lochlan hurriedly coaxed her, “Ms. Berry just had lunch with us the other day, so don’t feel bad. I’ll ask Ms. Berry to go nature
drawing with us tomorrow okay?”
Tomorrow was rest day for all the performers.
It was tiring to practice every single day. Ashlyn wanted them to work hard but she wanted them to play equally hard as well. So
she gave them a day off.
Charlotte’s pretty little face gleamed with delight when she heard him, “Really?”
“Of course.” Lochlan caressed her hair and held her hand as they got into a car together.
Ashlyn caught the glimpse of them as she sat in the Mercedes and titled her brows at the sight.
Janet was excited to sit beside Ashlyn, “Ms. Berry, what do you want to have for dinner? Why don’t you come to my place?”
“No thank you.” Ashlyn looked casually out the window.
She got off the car when they reached a mall near the Berry Residence.
Janet still did not give up on the idea of spending more time with Ashlyn and suggested, “Do you want to go shopping? I could
accompany you. I have quite a good eye for things.”
“It’s okay. Go home.”.
Janet’s heart sank when Ashlyn rejected her again.
“Okay then.” She tried her best to not show her disappointment.
It was only natural for an aspiring individual like her to have a top-dog reverencing mentality.
She admired Ashlyn and desired to become someone like her. However, she did not feel a hint of jealousy.
She came from an army background after all. Being competitive was her second nature. Janet would sometimes feel that she
was superior to others, and she had plotted against others. However, she never harbored any malign intention toward others.
She would only work hard toward her aspirations.
One day, she would stand before her subordinates at the military base, and that they would cast admiring looks at her. “Colonel
Smith is such a badass” was something she hoped to hear from them. And to which she would reply, “My idol, Ms. Berry is the
true epitome of a badass.”
Ashlyn bought grandma’s favorite cakes and some supplements, and headed back to the Berry Residence.
Horace was displeased with her unannounced visit, and said with a strict manner, “Why didn’t you tell us that you’d be back for
dinner? We could prepare for your portion then.”
“Right, Ashlyn. We’ve got nothing for you if you come back just like that.” Mary looked quite apprehensive at the sight of Ashlyn.
Ashlyn is getting more and more difficult to deal with. Mary was all fidgety at the sight of Ashlyn. However, she managed to calm
herself down thinking that she had a trump card in hand – Grandma was with them. Ashlyn wouldn’t make any rash moves in
view of these.
“I’ll leave after seeing grandma.”
Ashlyn could not be bothered with the two of them.
However, she glanced through the dining room but did not notice grandma’s presence.
“Where’s grandma?”
Ashlyn furrowed her brows and her gaze turned cold.
“She... she...”
Horace stuttered under Ashlyn’s cold, hard gaze.
Mary hurriedly added, “Your father booked a trip for her. She went travelling.”
Ashlyn directed her scowl at the two.
She did not say anything further and felt that something was off.
However, she did not wish to stay for another minute.
She left the things she bought for grandma and turned around to leave. Right then, Penelope chimed in, “Ashlyn, why didn’t you
go to the hospital for work? I’ve never seen you there. Are you a fake doctor? Don’t go around telling people that you’re a doctor
when you’re not. I suppose you don’t want to be exposed by Mr. Haddock like last time right? You really brought disgrace to our
family back then.”
