In the last chapter Ashley's mother went to her husband and asked him to tell Ashley to attend the party. Her husband loved her deeply so he did as Ashley's mother (Samantha) told. He (Lance) mixed his professional and private life to do it.
He told Ashley that
On call
Lance: Where are are you?
Ashley: does it matter to you.
Lance: your mother is worried about you.
Ashley: tch, she knows where I am.
Lance: you... sigh
Lance: just attend the birthday party today.
Ashley: why are you asking me. Ask your son my dear.
Lance: you both are going. Do you understand?
Ashley: heh did that woman asked you to say so?
Lance: MIND YOUR WORD. SHE IS YOUR MOTHER.
Ashley: none of my business. I'll hang up.
Lance: if you don't attend Samuel Matthew marks of geography are going to degrade.
Ashley: you...
Lance: his marks depend on you dear. Bye.
Hangs up
On Ashley's side
"F**k him man. How dare he threaten me." She was not with her friends right now as she was gone to pick someone. The person whom she picked was one of her close friend Marcus. During the call he was present at that moment. He said "What's with you? Control your tongue. If someone hears it they will nag you for sure." She replied "Mind your own business. By the way, why do I have to pick you up. Aren't you a free bird? What happened today? Huh?!" Marcus chuckles as for a moment ago she was serious and now she is back to normal. He replies "Nothing really. Oh, whose was that call from you looked furious." The face which was filled with joy at that moment turned to serious. "Nothing. I need to contact Samuel. He is not talking to me please lend me your phone." Marcus passed his smartphone to Ashley and said "What actually happened between you two?" Hearing those words she gave a death glare to Marcus. Marcus flinched by the glare of Ashley and said "Ne..never mind" Marcus thought 💭 they have been avoiding each other since a month now 💭
Ashley texted Samuel with Marcus phone. The text was:
💬Your geography teacher Mr. Lance threatened me with your marks. It's me Ashley. Reply fast. 💬
Ashley passed the phone back to Marcus, she deleted the message from her side so Marcus will not read it. She said while passing the smartphone "If he reply tell him to chat with me. Ok!?" There was horror in her voice Marcus was scared and nodded quickly.
"Now then, what's the reason you didn't come on your own?"
Will be continued in 3rd part
Thankyou
