Reborn: I Won't Chase You Anymore, School Prince-Chapter 138: Are You in a Relationship?
The team members came in with the sound of wind chimes, and the employees in the shop instinctively looked over. ๐๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ค๐ซ๐ฎ๐.๐ฌ๐๐ข
There werenโt many people in the cake shop at this time, so all of the employees, including Claire Xavier herself, were sitting in the lobby.
Upon hearing someone entering, everyone stood up to welcome the guests.
But the next moment, they saw clearly who had walked in.
"Stardust Team?!!"
The assistant manager, who loved watching esports matches the most, spoke up first.
"You, you guys are... Lang, King, Wind and Rain, Little Nine, AKA???"
The members of Stardust Team were usually very enthusiastic when facing people who could recognize them, but today was different.
They had seen their sister-in-law, so naturally, they had to greet her first.
Several team members merely nodded slightly to the assistant manager before walking towards Ashley Shaw, who was wiping tables.
Ashley had been busy working, and only turned around when she heard the assistant manager mention "Stardust Team".
Seeing five familiar faces, her eyes widened instantly with a sense of unease.
The next second, she saw the team members of Stardust Team uniformly walk up to her and bow in unison.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
With this greeting of "Hello, sister-in-law," the pastoral idyll fell silent instantly.
Claire Xavier had the biggest reaction, her eyes almost bulging out.
Not to mention Claire Xavier, Ashley Shaw herself was stunned too.
But she quickly realized what the "sister-in-law" situation was.
She hurriedly explained: "You guys have got it wrong, Iโm not your sister-in-law."
"Ah?"
The team members looked at each other in confusion.
If she isnโt a sister-in-law, then what is she?
Ashley Shaw didnโt want Claire Xavier to know about what happened yesterday, so as not to worry her, so she directly led the team members to the door to explain.
"You really have got it wrong, Iโm not your sister-in-law, and Iโm not in the kind of relationship youโre imagining with Warren Prescott."
"Warren and I are actually classmates, and he said that just to help me."
"Because if he didnโt say that, there would be much more to explain. So please donโt call me that anymore."
The team looked at each other, not quite believing what Ashley Shaw said was true.
If theyโre not dating, why would Warren video call her after the livestream?
If theyโre not dating, why would Warren be so annoyed when Ashley brushed him off a little?
"Sister-in-law, donโt be shy, we understand."
A bit of playful teasing between young couples.
Ashley Shawโs mouth twitched.
"What I said is true, if you donโt believe it, you can ask Warren Prescott."
Team members: "..." They wouldnโt dare!
"Anyway, please donโt call me sister-in-law anymore. When Warren Prescott actually gets a girlfriend someday, she wonโt be happy about it."
Ashley Shawโs serious expression made the team members waver.
At that exact moment, Ashley Shawโs WeChat notification sounded.
She fished out her phone from her pocket and saw that Warren Prescott was calling.
The two team members closest to her saw the caller ID and wore expressions of "Sister-in-law is indeed the sister-in-law."
Ashley Shaw couldnโt bother to explain and answered the call, saying: "Hello?"
"Are you free at three in the afternoon?"
This time, Ashley Shaw wasnโt forgetful; she remembered that she had to buy a gift for Leo today, so she nodded immediately: "Yes."
"Then Iโll come to pick you up."
After saying this, he didnโt wait for Ashley Shawโs response and hung up the phone.
After finishing the call, Ashley Shaw lifted her head and saw several team members standing respectfully in front of her, their backs straighter than trees.
Clearly, because of Warren Prescottโs phone call, her previous explanation was wasted.
"You guys..."
"Sister-in-law, we know weโre disturbing you, so weโll leave now!"
The team members finally understood, the reason sister-in-law wouldnโt admit it is because she and Warren are secretly dating, and her colleagues at the cake shop donโt know, so she wouldnโt confess.
Once they realized this, they immediately said farewell to Ashley Shaw, lined up, and quickly scurried away in unison.
Ashley Shaw didnโt even have time to speak before the group disappeared from her sight.
Itโs good they left, it saves her the trouble of explaining again.
Theyโll probably go back and confirm with Warren Prescott, right?
Itโs better to have this kind of misunderstanding resolved.
Ashley Shaw turned back into the shop, and upon entering, saw a group of people staring at her as if she were a criminal.
Among them, Claire Xavierโs gaze was the sharpest, and upon closer look could see she was practically radiating tangible anger.
Ashley Shaw paused, not yet able to speak when Claire Xavier questioned first: "Are you dating?"
Others were also staring intently at her, waiting for her answer.
Ashley Shaw chuckled dryly and said: "How could I? Iโm busy all day with barely any time to spare, where would I find the time?"
"Then what was all that about them calling you sister-in-law?"
"It was a misunderstanding, didnโt I tell you yesterday I ran into Warren Prescott? We chatted about some family stuff, and those team members happened to be nearby, so they mistakenly thought I was his girlfriend."
Claire Xavier sighed in relief.
Thank goodness, otherwise her brotherโs secret crush would have been doom.
Claire Xavier patted her shoulder and earnestly said: "If you really do start dating someone in the future, youโll have to bring them to me first so I can assess them for you."
Ashley Shaw nodded with a smile.
Seeing it was just a misunderstanding, the others immediately turned their attention back to the matter of the Stardust Team.
"Ashley, where are they now?"
"Can I ask them for an autograph?"
"Can I get a photo with them?"
Ashley Shaw shrugged: "Too late, theyโre gone."
Everyone showed expressions of disappointment.
But the female staff member was relentlessly asking: "Ashley, next time you see them, can you ask The Wolves to give me an autographed photo? I really like him!"
"Whoโs The Wolves? Arenโt they called Stardust Team?"
The assistant manager couldnโt help but laugh out loud.
"The Wolves is the captain of Stardust Team, because during competitions, his game ID is Lang, so we all call him The Wolves."
Ashley Shaw blushed.
"Okay, if I get the chance to meet him, Iโll ask for you."
"Great!!" The female staff member cheered delightedly.
Others teased: "You donโt even play their game, and you say you like The Wolves? At least register an account and play a match."
"Yeah, or else if you meet The Wolves, and he asks you which gun youโre good at, you wonโt be able to answer."
The female staff member looked indifferent.
"So what? I dare say, ninety percent of female fans who like them do so for their looks, and thereโs no esports team with a higher average attractiveness than theirs. Especially The Wolves, heโs really damn handsome!"
Ashley Shaw recalled the captainโs face.
She had watched the livestream, so she knew the one sitting in the middle was the captain.
Is The Wolves handsome?
Canโt say for sure, because she had been looking at Warren Prescottโs face for so long that she had become immune to handsome guys.
However, the female staff memberโs words reminded her that her friend Ariana really liked the game called "Apocalypse Survival" that they played.
Apparently, Ariana also really likes The Wolves?
So the next time she actually meets them, she should ask The Wolves for two autographs.
