Accidental Meeting_3

Crystal pivoted gracefully to face Ashton, her features displaying a distant, frigid demeanor.

"No, you haven't offended me in the slightest," she retorted, her voice tinged with indifference.

"I simply have no patience for men who carry themselves with unwarranted superiority."

Her tone remained unaffected as she continued, "I apologize if you perceived it that way. So that you know, I pride myself on being incredibly grounded. Perhaps you should take the time to understand who I am truly."

For Ashton, being in Crystal's presence was comforting, almost as if they were old acquaintances engaging in casual conversation.

As Ashton gazed at Crystal, a strange feeling overcame him. It was as if he was transported back in time, looking into the eyes of his first love, Ava Go.
