Tristan had been standing on the balcony since the time he ended up talking with Gwen. In the beginning, he thought she must have called him to discuss the project-related work but to his surprise, she had called him to grant her a leave.
A deep frown marred his face as he tried to analyze what made her take leave as she didn't inform him of the reason behind it.
But with what he heard and sensed, she sounded a little depressed, her voice weak as she talk with him and not to forget the politeness in her words. It only came when she was upset about something.
"What's wrong?" Ashley asked as she caressed his back from behind and walked around standing next to him.
"It's about Gwen. She called me asking for leave but.." he stopped feeling confused about what was wrong with her.
"But?" Ashley asked when she noticed how deeply he had been frowning the entire time and she quickly caressed the lines on his forehead clearing them as she heard him sigh.
