Dave stared at Ashley hands, as his eyes fell on the tight chain wrapped around her both wrists, and he wondered, how Mark and the rest of his men, had expected her to ate with her hands tightly chained.
Dave stared up to Aaron and he spoked to Aaron standing next to the door, "Come closer Aaron, and loose her hands."
"But Boss if we.. " Aaron tried to protested.
"Shut up and loose her hands first!" Dave rebuked, and Aaron immediately rushed towards Ashley, and took her both hands upward as he was with the keys and he unlock the padlock away from her wrists, removing the chain from her hands too, while Ashley flexed her wrist and knuckles in relief, stretching her both hands upward, as her bones sounded in a cracked tone.
Dave questioned Aaron, "How do you expect her to eat with her both hands tightly chained?.,"
Aaron kept mute not responding, and he returned back to his standing position, As he was a 25-yrs old guy, and much younger than Dave.
Dave turned to meet Ashley gazed on him, as she was now glaring at him angrily, and he remarked, "You know, you look more beautiful, if you continue to stare at me like that."
Ashley frowned and immediately stared away from him, while Dave stared to Aaron again, and he ordered, "Come here! and bring her to come seat over here to eat her food."
Dave pointed to the second chair across to him and Aaron gulped, as he stared to Ashley, and went over to her side, as he has heard how she singlehandedly dealt with most of his boss men, and now her hands weren't chained, making him to feared what she might probably do to him too.
Aaron walked over to meet Ashley, and as he bent to carry her up, Ashley quickly slapped his hands away from touching her, as she warned him coldly, "Don't you dare to touch my ass!"
With blue veins popping out of her neck in anger, Dave frowned and he stood up and signalled to Aaron to leave her alone, and Dave carried the tray of food by himself to meet her on the floor, where she sat. And he said , "If Mohammed doesn't go to the mountain, the mountain will go to Mohammed"
Dave placed the tray of food in front of her, while her eyes narrowed at him, as she watched him squat in front of her again, And he opened the delicious food to her viewed.
"Boss!" Mark called to Dave's attention, but Dave ignored Mark calling him, as he already knew why Mark called him, seeing Ashley's hand wasn't chained, and he rather picked up the spoon kept in her plate, and he took a spoonful of the hot jollof rice first, and raised it up to her face, like he wanted to feed her, but he ate it instead, while Ashley gulped and continued to stared at his light handsome face.
Taking another spoon full, of her meal, Dave ate it in her front too again, and he returned the spoon back into the plate, as the jollof rice tasted so delicious. Ashley gulped and stared away from Dave, seeing he.was taunting her, as she was hungry, but didn't want to admitted it.
"See! is not poisoned, now eat!" Dave pushed the tray of meal towards her, and she stared to the food not attempting to pickup the spoon either.
Dave picked up the same spoon again, and took another spoonful of the jollof rice, and he extended his right hand towards her mouth, surprising Ashley, and everyone in the cage room, as Mark immediately frowned, not liking how Dave was calm, and playful with her, and Dave ordered ber, "Open your mouth!"
Ashley continued to stared at Dave's hand extended to her lips, and she finally opened her mouth slowly, and accepted the spoonful into her mouth carefully.
"Good girl, No eat" Dave said teasingly as he finally stood up, and let go of the.spoon in her mouth, and gave to her hand. As Ashley shamefully collected the spoon from his hands quickly, as she has never been feed by anyone before, except her late mother and that was when she was a little girl and was sick.
Ashley finally dragged the tray of food closer to herself, and started eating it, as the food was very delicious.
"Good," Dave said to her, and stretched his leg, after squatting so long, and he walked out from her cage room, but Mark quickly called after him, "Boss!."
"Allow her to eat her meal first Mark, we will be back and don't chain her hands again. Leave only her legs chain," Dave Instructed, as he didn't stopped, and left the cage room corridor to check with some of their new shipment outside.
....
Mark turned to stared back to Ashley with anger clearly written in his eyes as their eyes meet. Seeing Ashley was indeed beautiful, but he didn't like how his boss was soft towards her, as that was so unlike Dave..
Mark wondered if Dave has suddenly grew a liking towards her, as she was a suspect, making his eyes to narrowed at her at the thought of it, remembering the painful kicked that she has given to him with her strong black leather boot. Mark quickly walked out of her cage room, while Aaron shut the door closed and locked back the cage room door that Ashley was inside, As Aaron walked back to his guarding position.

Mr Dot Kones got back home late from work, and he asked Lexi to call Ashley for him, as he wanted to informed her about her date with Dave by the weekend.
"Lexi go to Ashley's room upstairs and call her for me" Mr Dot said, as he walked into their living room and sat on the black furniture couch, in his living room downstairs, as his house was a standard duplex.
Lexi frowned and went upstairs again to Ashley's room, as he had previously gone there, when he returned from the red eagles warehouse and hadn't seen Ashley since he arrived.
Lexi returned back quickly, and without Ashley, and Mr Dot Kones questioned him, "Isn't she in her room?."
"No boss, Actually I haven't seen her yet," Lexi faintly replied, as he was a 28yrs old guy that Mr Dot Kones had adopted as a son, in his younger days to look after his two daughters, As his lovely late wife only gave birth to two daughters for him, and he didn't wanted to remarry even after her death.
"What do you mean you haven't seen her? Haven't I warned you to always keep an eye on them especially Ashley?!. Go out now and order the boys to find her immediately!." Mr Dot ordered.
"Yes boss" Lexi quickly exited the living room downstairs, while Jane returned from her job hunt and walked into the living room as she heard her father's thunderstorm voice.
"What's wrong father, I heard your voice?" Jane asked, as she stepped into the living room and walked up to sit on the opposite couch, in front of her father.
"Yes, where's your sister?," Mr Dot asked Jane.
"I don't know father, I haven't seen her either" Jane replied, and Mr Dot frown deepened, seeing it was already getting late.
"Let's just hope Ashley hasn't ran away, you should always keep an eye on wherever she goes too." Mr Dot Kones said.
"But father, Ashley is my elder sister. Why am I too monitor her, she will be back, maybe she went to her BFF place" Jane replied, and Mr Dot Kones frowned again as he didn't like his first daughter's BFF either as he had thought probably Ashley was a lesbian due to her constant refusal to marry or date any man, and he had monitored her movement personally, hiring a trusted spy to monitor Ashley, and he found out that she has no boyfriend and not a lesbian either.
Mr Dot sighed and spoked to Jane instead, "Jane, you and I knows that I cannot continue to protect you and your sister always, due to the nature of my job. Ashley needs a man to protect her and likewise you too, whenever am no longer around to do that."
"I know father" Jane faintly replied, in an understanding voice and Mr Dot said, "Good, then talk to Ashley to accept Dave, As I have already book an appointment with him, this weekend for them to go out on a date, and to get to know themselves better."
"Okay father, I will talk to Ashley when she returned" Jane replied, and Mr Dot Kones sighed and walked back upstairs to his room.
