A Love Trap

Ashley completely lost her balance. 'What's happening! Why do my legs feel like jelly?

Is it because of the scary movie that I just watched? How could that be?'

Her mind wandered off as Ashley struggled to stop herself from falling but to no avail.

Luckily, Andrew swiftly reached out his arms and was able to cushion Ashley's fall.

Lena and Raymond were looking at them.

An obvious distaste flicked over Lena's face. She lost in thought, 'Look at her! How can they do that in a cinema? Ashley agreed to that?

Look, she's so weak! She's even in that man's arms like she can't even stand properly. Look, how weak she is now! Wow, what were they doing?'

Raymond looked melancholic as he watched Ashley. His stomach twisted and turned with all sorts of emotions but he didn't know how to let it all out.

Seeing Andrew wrap Ashley into the arms, he knew she wasn't his anymore. He forced himself from approaching forward.

"I'll be fine. I just need some rest," Ashley said, her face reddening.

She felt so awkward. 'You're so stupid, Ashley! How could you get that scared of a movie? You couldn't even stand on your own!'
