A Love Trap

With her heart beating at a quickened pace, Ashley quickly ran away from Andrew's car.

After a while, noticing that she had made a safe distance away from the car, she stopped at a place where no one was around. Ashley panted at the thought of the scene that Andrew was kissing her passionately, which kept on flashing her mind.

She and Andrew had just met each other a few times. Except for that night when they slept together in the hotel, Ashley had never looked at Andrew so closely when he kissed her. She had to close her eyes because of the overwhelming sensation.

Being intimate with somebody wasn't new to Ashley, when she was in love with Raymond, they had intimate moments too.

But never did she feel so shy with her face burning red and her heart beating fast as horses racing on her heart.

'Maybe it's because Andrew is more handsome than Raymond, ' thought Ashley. She was trying hard to find an excuse to persuade herself into ignoring the strange feeling in her heart.

After a while, with the help of the chilly wind and the quiet place, Ashley calmed herself down and took a taxi to the cake shop. On her way there, Ashley suddenly thought of something and asked the driver to turn around.

Then, she called someone whom she dreaded to be acquainted with.

When the call was answered on the other end, it seemed that Peggy was busy doing something. It sounded a bit noisy and erratic.

Hearing her mother's voice, Ashley came straight to her purpose why she called Peggy. "Mrs. Mu, I have thought carefully about the thing you said. I want to talk to you later. By the way, remember to bring the jade pendant. I will wait for you in the coffee shop where we met last time."

After saying that, Ashley hung up the phone before Peggy could say anything.

'I don't have anything to do with the Mu family now. Why do I bother myself to listen to Peggy? After all, they haven't taken any responsibility for me except for adopting me, ' thought Ashley.

Lena and Peggy were shopping in a large-scale brand clothing store. When Peggy's mobile phone rang and she noticed Ashley's name on the screen, she grew impatient and was determined to not answer the phone. But moments later, thinking of the possibility that Ashley might want to talk about the deal they had made, Peggy changed her mind and finally answered the phone.
