Capítulo 107: A Little White Lie

Ashley was thinking about how she would answer Alden's question.  Will she say her real situation, or will she lie? What are the chances that they will see each other again, so she decided to give another version as her answer?

"With God's grace, I was able to finish my studies, and I'm here in Japan to fulfill my promise to my parents," Ashley answered while smiling.

"Wow!  That's good to hear... I'm happy for you that you are making your dreams come true one at a time.  So… because you are done with your studies and are here in Japan. Does that mean that you can now have a boyfriend?" Alden asked with bated breath as he anticipated Ashley's answer.

"Well, I just arrived here.  I've been here for less than a month, so I haven't received my salary.  And about a boyfriend, that is not in my mind now." Ashley answered Alden thoughtfully without even blinking.  Alden believed her and was able to breathe comfortably when he heard Ashley's answer.
