A Love Trap

Ashley really didn't want to introduce Lena and Raymond to Greyson. So when Greyson asked about them, she mumbled to him, "Oh, they're just some unimportant people. Since you've found what you lost, let's go."

She then turned to Lena and Raymond and said quickly, "We have something else that we have to do, so we've got to go now."

She didn't like them and would prefer to avoid Lena and Raymond as much as possible. However, since she had run into them, Ashley couldn't ignore them. Ashley knew how good Lena was at acting so she decided to pretend as well.

"But Ashley, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. Could you please stay a little longer so we can catch up?" Lena said with a pretend sad face and pouted lips. Lena saw that Ashley was going to leave, so she tried to stop her by sounding sincere, yet she had mischief in her eyes. Her voice was so honeyed that anyone's heart would have melted if they heard it.

The mischief in Lena's eyes disappeared quickly, but Greyson noticed it.

Greyson furrowed his brows slightly and thought, 'Alvin was right about Lena. She enjoys provoking Ashley.

Even though Ashley made it clear that she didn't want to stay any longer, probably to avoid any conflict with Lena, Lena ignored her and acted like she really wanted to see her.'

Greyson gave Ashley a surprised look. His adorable eyes were wide open and his baby face looked so sweet and innocent, and he asked, "Ashley, is she your sister? But you don't look anything like each other."

Ashley gave Greyson a frustrated look and explained, "We aren't biological sisters. It doesn't matter, just forget about it. You said you want to eat hotpot. So let's go."

There was no way that Lena was going to let Ashley get away so easily without causing her some mischief.

Lena then looked at Greyson and asked, "Ashley, who is he? If I'm not mistaken, he's not the same guy that went to the restaurant with you that day... Oh my, is he your new...?" Lena deliberately didn't finish her sentence. She noticed that people around were listening in on their conversation. So she used that to her advantage and insinuated that Ashley had changed boyfriends, just to make more mischief for Ashley.

Raymond gave Greyson a cold stare. He too noticed that Greyson wasn't the same man they had met at the Vineyard Restaurant.
