Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Stefan looked at Sarah and raised his eyebrows, he knows Sarah will do nothing recklessly. Sarah just blinks her eyes to assure him.

"Yes Ronald, Sarah is right, if Ashley will be with you in New York we all will be at ease for your concern," Amy answered.

"Ashley is a considerate wife," Julia added with a smile.

Ashley was happy when she was praised, but Ronald frown and his face turn dark.

"Ronald, don't think too much, see it's a new business and you need to work hard and focused, right? Between the tough time to manage the work how will you get proper time for yourself. Ashley will take proper care of your meals, your routine, and everything."

"Obviously you will go early and comes late because of the newly established branch moreover you are a rookie, then Ashley will take care of every single stuff of yours and wait for you as a good wife. You must be happy that you have such a supporting wife and you are pulling a long face."

Sarah sounds like a grown-up sensible person and everybody agreed with her, finally, Ronald has no option but to say 'OK' after Sarah's long speech.

Ashley was happy that she can go with Ronald, now she will have quality time with him, but she couldn't be happier because she was confused that why Sarah is supporting her?

'Sarah not only supported me, in fact, also praised me, is this any kind of trap for me?'

Ashley has a malicious heart, she has done many evil things just for her selfish motives, for her so-called love for Ronald.

The person who cheats or commits wrong things with others always has the fear that they will be cheated one day, that is Ashley's problem. Ashley has done so many wrong deeds with Sarah, now she always suspects Sarah even if she will do anything good for her.

Sarah is a witted woman and knew Ashley's inner fear well, took advantage of the situation in her favor.

"Alright, now when everything has been finalized, Ronald please complete your necessary packing, you have to leave in two days. After some time come to see me in my study so that I can explain to you the details of the company's branch did you hear me?"

Even though Stefan is still confused because of his wife, he still has an important matter to deal with.

"Alright....." Ronald answer with a grumpy face and got that Stefan wanted to discuss his problem in the study room.

"One more thing, my senior manager of the New York branch will come to attend you at the airport and he will give you the details of your accommodation in New York."

After some time, Sarah was going towards their residential area.

Crossing the corridor when someone pulled her and shut her mouth with his hand. Sarah releases because it was Stefan.

"What is cooking in my angel's witty brain?"

Stefan lovingly slides both hands on Sarah's waist pulling her closer, lean closed to her ear, and whispered.

Sarah also lovingly put her arms around Stefan's neck and looked into her eyes while answering, "So many things all together, but about what do you want to know?"

If Stefan's actions were ambiguous, Sarah's was also seductive.

"About Ashley."

"Oh..." Sarah curled her red lips in 'O' shape first then smirk devilishly, "Just wait & watch."

Stefan stares at her tempting lips lustfully and licks his own lips.

"Oh really, is that so?" Stefan kept his forehead on Sarah's forehead lovingly and both continue gazing at each other with glittering eyes.

Stefan and Sarah were drowned in their love world and forgot the outer world, but their romantic moment was broken by Ronald's sharp voice, who didn't even make any cough sound out courtesy.

"This is too much; you both didn't leave even a single place of this palace where you both didn't romance," Ronald said irritatingly.

He is roaming in this palace like a headless chicken because of Sarah's genius step to thwart their plan and now these love birds romancing, how could he be calm.

Stefan sighed and turned towards Ronald, "You know Ronald, what people like you should be called?"

"What?" Ronald raised his eyebrows

"Playing gooseberry."

Ronald felt wronged, he is in trouble because of these people. He wanted to go far from Ashley but now he has tagged her along with him.

"Stefan, your wife created havoc in my life and you have the audacity to comment on me."

"Chillax, Ronald, nothing will go wrong, I trust my angle."

"Stefan said with twinkling and romantic eyes, and again slightly hit his forehead on Sarah's forehead with so much love."

Ronald was irritated by their open romance and chided, "Oh God give me a break from these love birds."

Ronald gave sharp glares to Stefan and Sarah for a few minutes and after venting his anger through his eyes he was about to move but Sarah pulled him from his wrist and pushed him behind the pillar.

Both Stefan and Ronald were startled by her out-of-blue action, but she was least bothered by their expressions and peeked behind the pillar.

"Stefan, Sarah needs a physiatrist," Ronald mumbles in Stefan's ears and again angered Stefan.

"What the.....," Stefan opened his mouth to retort but interrupted by Sarah.

"Shh......" Sarah kept a finger on her lips, beckon them to shut their mouth, and then point a finger towards one direction, from where Ashley was coming towards them.

Ronald noticed Ashley but didn't get Sarah's intention, he raised his eyebrows in a questionable look.

"Just wait and watch," Sarah whispers to Walter's brothers and they looked at each other at first then wait to see what is Sarah up to.

As Ashley came near the pillar Sarah and Stefan were standing and behind them Ronald, who was hidden, Sarah started her act.

"Stefan, I am so happy that I can't even describe my feelings. Ahh, finally Ashley is going out of this house, that too by her own."

"You know, I always wanted to chase her out of this house so that I will be the only good daughter-in-law of the family and everybody will praise me. I will only get everybody's love and attention and this elite circle will recognize me as a good daughter-in-law of the Walter clan. What's more, I didn't need to do anything Ashley wants to go from here on her own, nobody can lay a finger on me if she will not be here."

"Now gradually, I will win each and every person's trust and love. They all are already impressed by me, now with the nonexistence of Ashley in this palace, I will queen of their hearts. Wow, I am so excited, finally, Ashley is going and you know what, Stefan, she is such a dumb to get my plan."

Sarah sounds so excited and she hugged Stefan and her every word fall on Ashley's ears like a
