Ashlyn looked up from her food and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Jessie jabbed her thumb in the direction behind her.
Ashlyn turned around and saw Aiken standing behind her. “Hi, Ashlyn. What a coincidence!” he greeted cheerfully.
Seeing that Aiken was about to sit down, she acted quick and pulled the chair out of his reach.
Aiken was too slow and watched helplessly as the chair was pulled away from him. “Hey, since we ran into each other here, can’t I join you guys?”
Truth be told, he was very interested in Summer Band that had played that night at ONE.
Ashlyn finished her kebab and tossed the stick away, ignoring Aiken. She looked at Jessie, who was sitting opposite her, and asked, “Done? Let’s go.”
Jessie wiped her hands and nodded. “Let’s go.”
The two women stood up and left, leaving Aiken alone in the barbecue stand.
Aiken was so angry that he burst into crazed laughter. He had gotten out of the taxi and come here only to make a fool of himself.
Just as he was about to hail another taxi, he saw that Ashlyn and Jessie, who had just paid the bill, were stopped by several drunk hooligans.
Seeing this, Aiken couldn’t help but chuckle.
Now they were bound to come running back to him.
Aiken walked up to them and smiled at Ashlyn meaningfully. “Say something nice to me and I will send them away.”
Hearing this, Jessie burst into laughter.
With a mocking smile, Ashlyn looked at Aiken. There was something wrong with all the people around Gordon.
The last time she ran into a similar situation was in high school. Ten years later, she was being provoked by thugs yet again.
Gordon had taken Denise away earlier than Ashlyn had expected, which disappointed her.
Now, unexpectedly, a bunch of thugs chose to mess with her. Ashlyn couldn’t help but laugh at the thug before her. “And if I don’t, what will you do?”
The smile froze on Aiken’s face. Ashlyn was way too arrogant!
The thugs who surrounded them looked experienced. How dare she provoke them!
But just now, Ashlyn gave him a sarcastic look, and Aiken was pissed off. He planned to help the two girls after they learned their lesson.
Aiken thought that he was being such a good guy by deciding to stay even when Ashlyn treated him with disrespect.
“In that case, don’t blame us for being rude!” said the thug.
Ashlyn immediately stopped laughing. The man in front of her suddenly reached out to grab her, but she caught him by the wrist and crushed it. The air was filled with the man’s piercing screams.
Seeing this, the other thugs pounced on Ashlyn.
It had been a long time since Ashlyn had gotten into a fight, but since she was in a bad mood tonight, she didn’t show any mercy.
In a matter of just five minutes, the scary-looking thugs were all curled on the ground, writhing in pain.
Ashlyn dusted her hands and glanced at Aiken, whose jaw dropped to the floor. Without giving him the light of day, she turned to Jessie and said, “Let’s go.”
“Right behind you!”
Jessie, who was standing at a safe distance from the fight, bounded over to Ashlyn and slapped her on the shoulder. “That was awesome, Ashlyn!”
Ashlyn pushed her hand away and said indifferently, “They were so weak.”
Hearing this, Aiken was absolutely speechless.
Thinking of what he had said before the fight broke out, Aiken felt like he had made a complete fool of himself.
By the time he came to his senses, the two women had already left. He quickly posted the video he had just taken on his Facebook and captioned it with: “My idol!”
Beating up those thugs had lifted Ashlyn’s spirits somewhat. She went back to her apartment, took a shower, and got ready for bed.
But before that, she opened a bottle of wine to help her fall asleep sooner.
Soon, Ashlyn fell into a deep sleep.
That Sunday, she made an appointment with Jessie to buy a car at the auto shop.
At about eight o’clock, Jessie knocked on her door with breakfast. As soon as Ashlyn opened the door, Jessie held up her phone and exclaimed, “Ashlyn, you’re viral again!”
After a short pause, Ashlyn asked with a frown, “Did you take a video?”
Jessie shook her head. “No. It was Aiken, that dumbass.”
Ashlyn smiled and shook her head helplessly.
He was just making a fuss.
Jessie snorted with disdain. “I can’t believe that dumbass actually thought that we needed his help.”
As she spoke, she typed a comment under Aiken’s post. “Do you think we still need you, Mr. Evans?”
Aiken, who had just woken up, saw the comment on his post. He was at a loss for words.
Early Sunday morning, the auto shop was full of people.
As soon as Ashlyn and Jessie entered, they caught a glimpse of Denise’s best friends, Monica and Mara, inside the shop.
Ashlyn was in a good mood today, so she just glanced at the two girls indifferently and then followed Jessie to see the cars.
She had already done the research on the models before coming here today. Now she just planned to test drive the cars before making a decision.
