A Love Trap

Ashley went to the dining hall with Fiona. She sat waiting patiently at the table for her, because Fiona said that she would manage everything herself.

Ashley couldn't think of any reason to refuse her, so all she could do was sit and watch as Fiona ran around here and there in the dining hall getting food for them.

It wasn't the rush hour for lunch, so there weren't too many people around. Ashley preferred to have her lunch when it was quieter rather than when the hall was full of noisy hungry workers.

Ellie was looking for Ashley everywhere. She was relieved when she spotted her sitting at the table.

Ellie first went to look for Ashley in her office. But when she didn't find her there. She assumed that Fiona would have taken her to the dining hall since she was fond of delicious food.

While looking at Ellie, Ashley asked, "What's the matter, Ellie? Why are you so out of breath?"

Ellie glanced at her, looking a little bit sullen.

Once Ellie had learned about what was on the company's forum, she began to worry about Ashley. As soon as she finished work, she came to see her straight away.

"Are you okay? You shouldn't pay any attention to the nonsense on the forum. They don't know anything," Ellie said looking at her with concern.

Ashley smiled. "Hey, it's fine. I'm stronger than that. Don't worry about me."

Fiona had returned and greeted her, "Hi, Ellie. It's nice to see you here. Would you like to join us? Just have a seat, I'll be back in a minute."

Fiona put the two boxes of food on the table and rushed off to get another one for Ellie.

"She's so sweet. She's still like a child," Ellie said smiling as she watched Fiona darting off.
