With Denise gone, Jessie clicked her tongue in disdain. “What a rude girl! Does she always resort to fighting if she loses an argument?”
In the past, Denise had splashed water on Ashlyn’s face many times, so Ashlyn knew Denise’s personality well. Glancing at Denise’s retreating figure, Ashlyn looked back at Jessie and mused, “Who knows?”
Unbeknownst to them, the fight between Ashlyn and Denise was caught on camera. Ashlyn and Jessie were in Louisa’s bar when she found out about the video.
The guests downstairs were all enjoying themselves, dancing to the loud music and dynamic atmosphere.
Jessie had grown tired of dancing and retreated to their table upstairs. When she opened her phone, she burst into laughter. “Ashlyn, you have to see this. What happened between you and Denise earlier was recorded by someone else at the restaurant!”
Ashlyn’s curiosity was piqued. She took the phone and tapped on the video expectantly.
In the video, Ashlyn could be seen pouring the pitcher of mango juice over Denise’s face.
Although the video only lasted fifteen seconds, it was clear that Denise was the one who started the fight.
Ashlyn smiled in amusement and commented on the post, “Not bad.”
Then she returned the phone to Jessie and said, “Enjoy yourself. I’m going home.”
Ashlyn wasn’t as used to the nightlife as Jessie was. Tired from work, Ashlyn felt that the loud music was giving her a headache.
Hearing that Ashlyn was going to leave, Jessie pursed her lips unhappily. “You can’t leave yet. Aren’t we here to hang out with hot guys? How will I find myself one with you gone?”
Ashlyn picked up her bag and replied loftily, “I’m too pretty, Jessie. If I stay, all the hot guys will come to me, not you.”
Jessie had intended to persuade Ashlyn to stay. But hearing what she had to say, she rolled her eyes.
Ashlyn blew Jessie a kiss and said, “Bye!”
Ashlyn’s words stung, so Jessie didn’t try to persuade her to stay anymore.
While she felt a bit hurt, she had to admit that Ashlyn would steal her spotlight.
Thinking of this, Jessie ended up agreeing with what Ashlyn said.
Jessie was by no means an ugly girl, but whenever she was with Ashlyn, men would try to strike up a conversation with Ashlyn, not her.
Only then did Jessie realize the problem’ Ashlyn’s beauty made Jessie’s pale in comparison.
Ashlyn was just teasing Jessie; she didn’t know that Jessie would take her seriously.
It seemed that Jessie’s words were right. She had told Ashlyn that handsome young men often appeared in bars. Compared with Gordon, these young men varied in characteristics.
Ashlyn hadn’t come here to meet handsome guys. She had come here to drink. Now that she was tired, she intended to go straight home.
But when Ashlyn headed downstairs, a young man with a clear voice stopped her. “Hello, miss. Can I add you on Facebook?”
He was wearing a crisp white T-shirt, a pair of straight-leg pants, and a pair of white sneakers.
Amidst the chaotic and noisy atmosphere, he looked relatively innocent. Plus, his smile was dazzlingly white. He was probably never refused in his life.
But Ashlyn was about to shatter that streak. She smiled and shook her head. “Sorry, I don’t have a Facebook account.”
He raised his eyebrows and thought for a while. “What about a Twitter account?”
“I don’t have a smart phone.”
The man scratched his head, seemingly at a loss.
Ashlyn smiled, thinking that he would give up. However, just as she was about to leave, he suddenly asked, “What about a phone number?”
As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly to take a better look at Ashlyn.
Ashlyn was stunned for a while. Admiring his persistence, she finally relented and gave him a phone number. “Study hard and make our motherland proud.”
After saying that, Ashlyn was amused by herself. Then she waved at him goodbye and left.
The man was attracted to Ashlyn’s charming smile and was stunned for a while. When he came to his senses, he immediately introduced himself in loud voice. “I am Kendal Shaw.”
Kendal?
It was a good name.
Of course, Kendal wasn’t an idiot. He could tell that Ashlyn was rejecting him when she said that.
But he still refused to give up. It was his first time to chase after a girl.
After getting the pretty lady’s phone number, Kendal went back to his seat and stared at the number on his phone. His girl classmate next to him wanted to talk to him but was stopped by Kendal’s indifferent expression.
They were out here to party, but it wasn’t difficult to tell that Kendal was only here because he was forced.
Moreover, handsome guys like Kendal wouldn’t take a fancy to ordinary girls.
Staring at the phone number for a while, Kendal bit his lower lip and texted the number Ashlyn had left him.
Unexpectedly, the person called him. Stunned, Kendal stood up and walked out of the bar to take the call. “Miss, you haven’t told me your name.”
“Kendal, how dare you to flirt around?”
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Kendal was shocked. “Devin?”
Devin snorted. “Okay, good. At least you still remember your cousin. Who were you trying to flirt with just now?”
Kendal, who was terribly embarrassed, plucked up the courage to tell him what had happened just now. In the end, he shyly added a disclaimer. “Devin, this was my first time to ask a girl for her number.”
He never would’ve expected that the woman he liked would give him Devin’s phone number.
What a heavy blow!
Devin’s expression softened. “What’s her name?”
“I don’t know for sure, but I heard her friend call her Ashlyn…”
Ashlyn!
Devin smiled upon hearing the name. “I’m sorry, Kendal, but it’s over for you.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
Although she had given him the wrong number, Kendal still believed he could win Ashlyn’s heart if he tried hard enough. How could Devin be so sure that he wouldn’t make it?
Devin chuckled. “Kendal, Ashlyn is my future wife. So you’d better back off now.”
“What?”
Kendal was met with the dial tone. Devin had hung up on him abruptly.
Devin felt strange why Ashlyn gave his phone number to Kendal.
Last time, Devin had told Ashlyn that he would wait until she was ready to get into a relationship and he wouldn’t mind if she used him, her future boyfriend, to stop men from wooing her.
Did that mean Ashlyn was open to accepting him as her future boyfriend?
Devin’s heart soared.
Just now, a person had hit Devin’s car on the road. But his anger dissipated instantly. He would rather see Ashlyn than waste his time here.
So when the driver came over nervously to apologize, Devin waved his hand dismissively and said, “Never mind.”
