Chapter 14

Ashley's POV
As I walked towards my room, Uncle Michael's proposal kept bothering my mind. It was a great opportunity, but I feel some type of way about it after everything that happened in Paris. He didn't have to say it, he could have simply ignored me like everyone else, but he didn't. Having a big shot like him as an investor, after everything I've done, was like a triumph…a big deal to my company. But I couldn't let myself show it. I couldn't let myself get too carried away. Not now. Not when I was still mad at him for his actions towards me in Paris.
I shut the door and collapsed onto my bed, still clutching my phone. Austin had been here the whole time, just sitting with me, but I knew he wasn't just here to pick his stuff up, He was sitting with me to catch up, and he always had the perfect way of getting me to talk. I couldn't let that happen today.
