Mr. Perfect ( On Hold)

Ashton's P. O. V.

"So it's alright if they keep calling you an escort? " I said raising my eyebrow.

"Stop calling me that. All this is happening because of you. So you fix this. " she said pointing her finger and pressing it hard against my chest.

"So let's go with the plan. "

So let's rewind. Ethan's brilliant plan was to introduce her to the media.

Now, you may say, why Ash that's not so crazy. At least they won't call her an escort or any other names then. So what was she so mad about?

Oh no no. Ethan wants to introduce her to the media as my girlfriend. Or so she thinks. I told her it was Ethan's plan even though it was mine. I want things to progress between us but I don't know how. This is the only way I know.

Ethan suggested that I could ask her out or something like that. Crazy right? I mean I can't ask her out. I can't do such romantic shit.

Then things start to go downhill.She freaked out, completely and I could actually see her debating the pros, cons and results of the giving such a major statement to the media. I know media will be further involved if we release such kind of statement.

"You know that's the only way Hailey." I said disturbing her internal monologue.

"Fine let's do it. But if the matters get worse you two are so dead. " she said glaring at both Ethan and me.

I don't think her threat worked seeing that both of us were smiling. She looked really hot when she was angry.

"Yeah sure. " Ethan said. Then he went to the kitchen with Haileys friend, who's name I still don't know, to get some coffee.

"Here. " I said and gave her the bags from my hand.

"Wear these and get ready. I am calling the media at my house and we are going to release the statement there." I said.

"Fine " she huffed.

"Ethan will tell you exactly what you have to say. Stick to the script please. "

"Yeah whatever. "

" Do as I say, if you don't want to get in anymore trouble then you already are" I tried sounding angry.

"Fine " she said defeated. " When is the conference ? "

"In about 3 hours or so. "

"Okay. "

"I'll leave you now. I have a few business matters to attend. "

"Sure. "

I left the penthouse and Max came to pick me up.

"Where to sir ? "

"Office please. "

I still have to arrange the conference, call the media. I'll ask Andrea to do it. I wasn't sure Hailey would be ready for it so I didn't inform the media. I didn't want to force her into anything or make her feel uncomfortable.

So I called Andrea. She is my PA

" Hello Andrea, call up a conference at my home at around 2 o clock. Tell them I have to make a statement. "

"Sure sir. Is there anything else I can do for you ? "

"Yes. Clear all my appointments for today. I won't be able to make it. Reschedule them for tomorrow. "

"Yes sir. "

"And mail me the reports of the deal we made with Mr. Danvers. And schedule an appointment with him tomorrow morning. It's urgent. "

"Yes sir. Will that be all ? "

"Yes. "

I hung up. Andrea is a good assistant. Thank god for that.

"On second thought Max take me home. I have some errands to attend. And stop at the florists shop nearby. "

"Sure sir. "

I think I should take a few flowers for Hailey. Or would it be too much? I guess I'll just take them.

I have to do it for the media anyway. Who am I kidding? I want to give her the best flowers in the States. She deserves nothing less than the best.

When I saw her for the first time I wanted to be mad at her. I wanted to go completely nuts and destroy her life for ruining my Aston Martin. No one scratches my car gets away with it.

But when she told me how her life was already hell something in me just snapped. I wanted to help her, to protect her but she didn't want any of it.

I am not one of those rich guys who are plain out arrogant to people who have less then them. It's may not seem like it. I don't even know why I behaved so rudely with Hailey when we met.

I want to help people. I like being compassionate. I like being good. I believe 'good' is underrated.

A/N:-

Hello Cookies 🍪!
How was the chapter? A peek inside Ashton. Anyone shocked that our Ash isn't the rude billionaire that Lee thinks he is?

Anyway 'be good' that what BTS has taught me. ANY A. R. M. Y. OUT THERE?

Until next time.
