A Love Trap

That was the reason why Ashley was unable to recognize Andrew's identity immediately.

Although she had an idea that Andrew was a rich kid, she never bothered knowing then just how wealthy he was.

When they entered Vineyard Hotel, a waitress with decent smile on her face welcomed them. Amazement flitted in her eyes when she saw Andrew.

But luckily, she was unlike those other women whose eyes would remain glued at Andrew, ignoring his companion completely as if she never existed. The waitress was courteous enough to greet her properly as well.

Ashley finally understood why this hotel was the best among the best. The level of service which they provided was evident enough from the waitress' attitude.

They only employed the best after all. The waiters and waitresses were said to be products of the most famous universities in J City.

Despite of the level of education they had attained, these men and women chose to serve in this hotel. That alone was proof of how amazing the hotel was, and the great opportunities which they could provide for their employees.

The waitress smiled at the both of them and politely said, "Welcome to Vineyard Hotel. Please follow me to your box."

It was said that when people reserved a box, the servers would usher them from the moment they arrived in the hotel straight towards their reserved box.

Although it was Ashley's first time in the famous Vineyard Hotel, rumors had already reached her ears about the place through her gossiping colleagues.

Instead of focusing on their jobs and working hard, these people were more adept in catching the latest buzz about the wealthy and the influential. They had high hopes of catching themselves one of those wealthy bachelors just so they could experience the meals in the Vineyard Hotel.

Ashley and Andrew followed the waitress.

They were about to enter their box when two people suddenly appeared before them.

Seeing them emerging from the shadows, Ashley felt a chill run down her spine when she recognized who they were.

'Damn', she couldn't help but pity herself. Bad luck was definitely on her side, to think that she would bump with them of all people.
