A Love Trap

As soon as they got home, Ashley dashed straight into her bedroom. Ellie didn't call after her or follow her to her room. With a shrug, she went to the kitchen and prepared their dinner. Ashley did not leave her room until her bestie called her to eat.

"What were you doing in your bedroom?" Ellie asked curiously.

"You'll know it tomorrow," Ashley replied. Without another word, she ate her meal quickly. In no time, she got up and put her dishes in the sink. Before leaving the kitchen, she flashed Ellie a mysterious smile and disappeared into her bedroom again.

Ellie shook her head, wondering whether the posts and comments on the forum had irritated her best friend.

As she lay on her bed, Ashley opened the QQ app, her eyes glued on her phone screen.

She started to text to one of her QQ friends.

AAAAshley: "Hello?"

Skyline: "Hi, little pretty. You finally contacted me." A crying face followed the sentence.

AAAAshley: "Well, I have got my hands full lately. So how are you?"

Skyline: "Fine. I don't have much work to do. What's up, little pretty?"

AAAAshley: "You said you're one of the best hackers out there, right? I hope you can do me a favor."

After she sent the message, she waited for a while but there was no reply.

Resting her head on her hand, she wondered if she had been rude. Maybe her request was too straightforward.

As she texted a new message, another message notification popped up.

Skyline: "Sorry. I was getting takeout. So what is it, little pretty? Leave it to me and I will help you take care of it, I promise." At the end of his message was a blushing face.

Wasting no time, she quickly shared him with what had happened to her at the office. And she asked him to help her pay back in kind.

Skyline: "Little pretty, those people are too bad. How could they treat you that way? Don't worry about it now. I know what to do. I will teach them a hard lesson for you."

"Thank you! I will treat you to a
