A Love Trap

Even though she couldn't drink much, Mr. Chen was able to persuade Ashley to down a few glasses of alcohol and she got slightly drunk.

But when she noticed Mr. Chen staring at her with lustful eyes, she became intensely conscious. Then, when she saw the fat guy moving closer to her, she started feeling nauseous.

"Excuse me," she said, covering her mouth as if preventing herself from barfing. "I need to go to the washroom." Before she could stand, she had to push Mr. Chen's arm away, which was steadily finding its way around her.

After Ashley stumbled out of the room they were in, Lena turned to Mr. Chen and smiled inquisitively. "Isn't Ashley such a beauty, Mr. Chen? Do you like her?"

"Definitely. You really know me well, Miss Mu." Lena could see the raging lust in Mr. Chen's eyes.

'Wonderful, '

Lena said to herself, delighted.

Ashley staggered into the washroom. What happened inside there stunned her. Holding on to the sink, she steadied herself. Immediately, she turned the faucet on and splashed her face with cold water. She kept on doing that until she felt slightly refreshed. Never in her life did she feel so dirty.

In the mirror, Ashley could see her face. Since she was drunk, there was a certain rosy glow to her cheeks that made her more attractive and irresistible to men.

The alcohol hit Ashley again and she started feeling dizzy. She had to hold on to the sink in order to not fall over. It was too much, however, so she decided to squat down and rest her head on her knees. There was no strength left in her but going back to the room wasn't an option for her. She knew that if she did that, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She thought that everything would go smoothly as long as she didn't have anything to do with the Luo Group and the Mu family and avoided Lena.

It turned out that she was too na?ve. Although she was trying her hardest not to be a troublemaker, others were always trying to make trouble for her.

After what seemed like an eternity, Ashley breathed in and gathered all the remaining strength she had. Though wobbly, she stood up again, splashed her face with cold water one last time, and walked out of the washroom.

Dizzy, Ashley staggered forward. Since her head was pounding, Ashley relied on her instinct as to where to go. With her arms stretched forward, she was feeling for the walls, hoping that they would help her get out of the establishment.

Bang! Just as she thought she was getting somewhere, she walked into something. 'Did I hit a wall? It's so hard!' she thought, massaging her nose with her hands.
