Chapter 25: A kiss
As soon as Renee and Bryan disappeared, Ashley's mean expression appeared. Her gaze shifted back to the man standing right in front of her, a deep frown marring her beautiful face.
"What do you want, Lorenzo? Why are you always lurking around me?"
"I'm sorry about the drama with Bryan... he's a curious kid." Lorenzo apologized like she didn't just ask him an important question.
Ashley's gaze swept across the vast compound, hoping her driver would return to put an end to the uncomfortable encounter. When she found nothing, her attention returned to the annoying man before her.
"Just stop following me," she demanded again, pointing an accusatory finger at Lorenzo.
Lorenzo arched a brow. "But I'm not."
"Then how do you explain being everywhere I go?" Ashley snapped.
"I'd say fate keeps making our paths cross, maybe for a reason." He smiled, flashing those gorgeous dimples. "Haven't you for once thought of that, angel?"
That endearment again? Ashley felt her annoyance spike, her fingers itching to claw his face—to wipe that stupid smirk right off.
A tiny voice in her head whispered that he was right—but she refused to acknowledge it. This was just another one of his mind games, and she wasn't about to fall for it.
If fate was trying to tell her anything, it was to run far away from this walking temptation. And she was trying—but somehow, Lorenzo kept appearing in her path, blocking every escape.
