As usual, Lucian went on with the rest of his day, letting Ashley do her thing with Primo. But by the time he finished his work, it was slightly later than usual. Hence, he didn't linger and headed straight to the bedroom.
The second Lucian opened the door and stepped in, he stopped right then and there.
His eyes drifted down, spotting Ashley lying flat on the floor. His brows drew together as he saw her just staring at the ceiling with a dead expression. The bed was only a few steps away.
As his lips parted, she suddenly spoke,
"Don't…" she trailed off, not taking her eyes off the ceiling. "I am dead tired. I don't even have the strength to get up anymore… or shower—damn it!"
She clenched her teeth, grinding them in frustration. "I did everything the way they said, but… they still said I look too awkward."
