It had been a week since Ashley sauntered into Spencer’s office and so back into her life. In that week Spencer tried finding reasons for why she agreed to take Ashley’s case. They varied from sympathy to being drugged by the brunette. None made much sense in the bigger picture and she quickly realized this had nothing to do with manipulations. The reason she caved was that she had missed Ashley over the last ten years or so. Sure she had friends in College and some might have been what you would call good friends but no one came close to Ashley or to the bond they shared. Emphasise on the past tense, they weren’t sharing anything anymore. Spencer was a believer of leaving the past alone and focussing on the future but sometimes events that happened years ago could be burned in your memory forever and would haunt you on the weirdest moments. Like say, when a certain brunette strolls into your life and decides, unintentionally maybe, to act like a tornado through your carefully build life.

Yeah, she was in for a ride alright.

“Miss Spencer?” Beverly asked, as she hooked her head around the door so she could see her boss.

“Yes?”

“Miss Davies is here to see you.”

“Let her in.” The blonde automatically sat up a little straighter and threw her business face on. She wouldn’t be fooled twice. It was time to let Ashley know she was here purely for business and business only.

The door opened wider and Beverly gestured Ashley inside.

Ashley smiled and winked at the assistant. Hey it was in her nature to be flirty. She couldn’t help it. “Why thank you Miss Money Penny.”

Spencer rolled her eyes. Who was she kidding. Ashley all business? She had a bigger chance of Beverly calling her Spencer.

“Uhm sure Miss Davies.” Blushed the young woman. Never in her life had she met someone so brass.

“Please, call me Ashley.”

“Fat chance.” Muttered Spencer and almost choked on her coffee when she heard Beverly utter a soft ‘Ashley’. She groaned and threw her hands up. Unbelievable! “Beverly!” She yelled and waved her out. “Go! Work!”

“Yes Miss!” And with that her assistant had left her office and Ashley had the biggest smirk on her face she had ever seen.
