Exclusive Memory

Chapter 19 Kiss In Dream

Looking at the flower basket in front of her, Ashley took a sip of wine. The sour and astringent taste lingered on her tongue. After she drank it, the thick sweet taste of grapes slowly swept over her mouth.

She had half a bottle of wine before dinner.

She poured another glass. By the strange red liquor, she gazed the Chinese knots which were hanging in the private room and muttered to herself, "who are we? Francis. Who am I to you? What's our marriage to you? And what's our wedding night to you?"

"They are of no significance..."

From the corner of his eye, Karl saw that she kept drinking without even eating anything. He frowned, feeling a little worried about her.

"Cindy, please have a seat. I'll go over to see a friend there."

Cindy said with a smile, "Let me go with you and say hi. She seems to be our colleague."

Karl bypassed the corridor of the second floor and walked to the opposite room. Since the door was half open, he opened the door and walked in. Her skirt flowed down on the floor. She didn't seem to notice anyone coming in. She waved the wine glass with her slender wrist, and the red liquid sparkled under the light.

When Ashley was about to raise her glass to drink, one hand stopped her. She turned her head and saw Karl was staring at her with a frown on his face.

"Why are you here alone? Where's Jasper?"

Jasper? It's none of Jasper's business. Hearing this, Ashley smiled. Although she had drunk a lot of wine, she was still sober. "I haven't contacted him recently."

"Oh, Ashley, it's you! I hardly recognize you just now."

Followed the sound, squinted her eyes, Ashley saw Cindy, the head of their Marketing Department, and by her side was Cecily who had spread the rumor before.

Ashley hold the back of the chair and raised to her feet, "Cindy, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"So do I. You look totally different in this dress."

Cecily didn't say anything. In her mind, Ashley was an insignificant nobody as others. But now in this famous opulent place, Cecily realized that she was the stupid one indeed. Ashley could chat with executives freely and squander money without hesitation on a bottle of wine which was several thousand dollars. How could she think that Ashley was the same as them?

Standing for a while, Ashley felt she couldn't stand any more. She drank too much. Although she was sober, her body was out of control. She had always been concerned about her manners, so she sat down calmly. "Let's dine together. The seats are just enough."

Karl waved his hand and said, "No, thanks! Do you still feel well? How about call Jasper to pick you up?"
