Chapter 14
Ashley's pov
My head was spinning so fast, my heart was numb and my mind? It has no idea what is about to come but what I know subsisted that my life is going to end, I have nothing in my hands. The landlord will kick us out tomorrow, and I have no job, neither any chance to find one.
My life has been ruined forever and there is no power in my hands.
Wish I could do anything in my life. Wish I could find my father and ask him why he abounded us?
Wish I could ask Mr Blake Jensen why did he try to persuade me at that party that Became a huge mess for me... I could have slapped him hard on his face when I fell on the floor and he was on top of me.
Wish I could let that chauvinistic bastard realise he can not control everything under his hands.
But I am still in a dilemma when my body is numb while having no idea of the future and past.
Maybe I am not going to make a suitable living from here.. Maybe I am going to die soon.
Ashley Brooke is going to die at a very young age and there will be no change on this earth it will still blemish the way it is used to do before.
"Ashely, open your eyes," I heard a faint voice that sounds similar to my mother.
Her fragile face appeared in my dreams and her moist eyes were hard to crack. But hey wait.. what is she doing here?
Where am I?
The last time I realised I was in Jensen's industries was when Mr Blake Jensen fired me and for fuck sake it wasn't even my mistake!
Slowly-slowly the light entered into my vision and rage started flowing in my blood, my vacant life had picked a somersault again.
When I heard the voices around my body, "Ms Ashely Brooke, open your eyes," it was more of a gentle and firm tone and I was reluctant to it. I began opening my lid slowly by slowly then I realized I was not in the building anymore. I was in the room with all the medical equipment and all the aroma of medicines notified me that I was in the hospital.
Why I am here in the hospital? I have no clue about it. When and why I have attained here when I was all reasonable in Jensen's Industries ready to die at any moment.
Then how come I have reached here?
As I saw the face of the doctor, she was maybe in her mid-thirties, her eyes were sparkling when she saw my face that was not at all covered in the form of anxiety.
My mother was there too, her trembling fingers reached out to me to wipe my dried tears that somehow arrived when I was not in my sane state.
Then I saw a man, it was not the man which you see in all the movies to come to the rescue of the heroine but It was the man who has guided me always.
Shawn was there holding a bouquet with a profound smile on his face. Why is he here? And how come I am in the hospital? I have no clue about it.
But my trembling heart was telling me this should not be done.
He is treating me like an alien, only if I had powers in my hand I would have shown him how it feels to get played with destiny, how it feels to be treated like a robot.
Shawn cleared his throat to gain my attention and handed me a bouquet," this is from Jensen's Industries to pay condescends to our employees,"
And before I could say anything, he excused him and went out of the room.
I saw the fresh flowers when their fragrance hit my nostrils, suddenly it felt as everything will going to be alright soon, nothing is going to worse in my life. Those flowers of daises brought me some fresh memories of my childhood which I always wanted to frame. However, when I was drooling over the flowers I saw an envelope between them.
I picked it out to read it
Ms Ashley Brooke,
You will receive your advance payment tomorrow when you will reach Jensen's Industries on time as I don't allow tardiness.
What?
This is another gag, right?
This can't be true? And if this is true how can it be possible? After firing me from the job, he is ready to give me an advance paycheck and still consider me as one of his employees?
What's in his mind?
I think I need to wait until tomorrow to know what is running behind that mysterious face and blasting mind.
My mother came rushing into me, she hugged me while crying. Maybe I was not afraid of anything but for my mother. She is my soft spot.
She kissed my forehead, " oh Ashley, thank God you are alright, I thought many horrible aspects about you when you were not opening your eyes," then she hugged me again, I know she was anxious about me leaving her alone in this heartless world.
What a cruel misery it must be for her to see her young daughter dying ahead of her? When her husband left her for another woman when she had two little trailing girls to be looked upon.
And I have no idea my men are always jerks! Why they are so heartless!
Maybe it would be great for my life to stay away from every man in this world to live a sane life.
I breathed to myself while still thinking about the changed behaviour of Mr Jensen and the letter which he sent me with the bouquet.
Do I need to ask him what he is comprehending? What's in his mind? Moreover due to the generosity of my mother; she kept blabbering about thanking Mr Jensen, so maybe I need to thank Mr Jensen for making my life a hell then also being the one to alleviate me out in my mess.
The night became a struggle for me, I could not sleep after trying and struggling on the bed with different positions I gave up. My mind went to that man who was having a heated argument with Mr Blake Jensen. Why that man was shouting at him? And above all Mr-I-Own-Everything was very anxious ahead of that man.
My profound brain was telling me that man must be very powerful to make Mr Jensen anxious and angry.
Maybe he is not the man that he shows to a whole country or better be called the world!
He must be a dangerous man with his pride and I should stay away from him while thinking about all the things I fall asleep.
The next day I woke up in time, ran to find a bus and reached Jensen's industries in the sharp morning when the sun was ashamed too to find my activeness which was against his power.
I arrived at the reception desk to only find the work has been started, everybody was engulfed in whatever they were doing.
Through the elevator, I finally landed my foot on the floor I belong to. All the desks were quirky and already involved in gossiping.
They saw my face as I was an alien of another planet, nevertheless, I didn't care about anything, my mother told me to pay her to attribute Mr Jensen, so I knocked on to his door, only to find Shawn inside collecting all the papers and when he saw me, he grinned, "so Ms Brooke, you are here.. Well, this is your advanced paycheck and you can start working from now on, I will guide you on what to do until Mr Jensen arrives,"
"And when he will be arriving?" I raised one of my eyebrows in utter confusion as he was the one who says to not get late.
"He will be arriving next week, until then you need to start your work!"
