Compared to the distance across the stage just now, the current close proximity allowed Matthew to clearly smell the perfume on her, and clearly
hear her heartbeat.
He felt more and more that the person in front of him was very familiar.
An impossible guess suddenly floated into his mind.
And her silence gave him a strange confidence.
He slowly raised his hand and trembled as he reached towards her face. The closer he got to the mask, the faster his heart beat, and his breathing became tighter and tighter.
Meanwhile, Ashley on the other side had not at all anticipated that Matthew would just reach out directly.
Based on her previous understanding of Matthew’s temperament, if other women didn’t answer his questions promptly, he would get a sullen face and leave.
That’s why Ashley took a risk and tried, so she never expected him to be like this.
Watching his hand get closer and closer to her mask, Ashley’s whole body became stiffer and stiffer, and her heart was in her mouth.
Just as Matthew’s hand was about to touch Ashley’s mask, a hurried ringtone suddenly rang out.
The next moment Matthew quickly withdrew his hand, took out his phone to answer:“Hello?”
Without knowing what was said on the other end, Matthew’s face visibly darkened.
Then, he didn’t even care about Ashley in front of him, and turned to leave in a hurry.
It wasn’t until his back was out of sight that Ashley’s stiff back finally relaxed.
She slowly opened her hands, which she had been clenching tightly, and they were already seeping with sweat.
At night, the rest of the dance troupe went on a night tour to see the night view of capital.
Ashley, having grown up in capital, naturally wouldn’t go.
So, after bidding farewell to the troupe member, Ashley got into the car back to the hotel.
But just as she got out of the car at the hotel, she happened to see Matthew walking out, surrounded by a group of people.
She instinctively tried to turn around, but Matthew’s voice suddenly came from behind:“Wait a moment.”
Ashley’s expression changed, and she quickly fumbled for the mask in her bag and put it on.
By the time she turned around again, Matthew had already walked in front of her.
Regarding this woman who was still wearing a mask, Matthew was still very puzzled:“Your off work, why are you still wearing it?”
Ashley knew she couldn’t avoid it this time, but she didn’t want to talk to him.
So, she first pointed at her throat and waved her hand.
Then she typed a line of text on her phone and handed it to him:“To maintain mystery.”
This time it was Matthew who was stunned:“You, why…”
Ashley typed on the keyboard again:“Oh, did you stop me for something?”
Matthew finally reacted and quickly said, “What happened today was my abruptness. As compensation, I’d like to treat you to a meal.”
Is that okay?
Ashley frowned, she didn’t want to eat with him at all.
She probably wouldn’t have much appetite then.
But her stomach just happened to rumble at this moment.

Hearing the sound coming from her stomach, Ashley quickly covered her stomach, but forgot to cover her blushing ears.
Matthew chuckled softly, then said, “It won’t take up much of your time, we’ll just dine at a restaurant near the hotel.”
Seeing his persistence, Ashley found it hard to refuse again, after all, she was afraid that being too
Eventually, she would definitely be exposed.
In the quiet restaurant, there was only the sound of knives and forks touching plates.
o strange would attract more of his attention.
Matthew wasn’t very hungry to begin with, so he thoughtfully cut the steak for the woman opposite him.
Ashley also accepted everything, after all, she was truly hungry now.
For dancers, dieting is certainly important, but dancing itself takes a lot of energy. If you don’t replenish your energy in time, you’ll make a fool of yourself on stage.
So, Ashley kept her head down, eating the food on her plate, not even sparing a glance for Matthew across from her.
Although the food on her plate was indeed delicious, she just couldn’t ignore the gaze constantly fixed on her from across the table.
was hard for her to ignore it.
