A Love Trap

Ashley already had enough of the party, but she couldn't just leave. She took a deep breath and asked Johnny, "Is there another dress in the car?" Ashley knew it was unlikely that there would be a spare dress in the car, but she just wanted to try her luck. She knew people usually brought an extra dress.

She didn't bring one, but that didn't mean Andrew wouldn't either.

Johnny quickly responded, "Yes, Madam."

He was really impressed with his boss right now. It seemed that he had planned for every scenario, including this one.

Andrew had asked him to put a couple more dresses in the trunk before they left The Silver Moon.

That explained why there were spare dresses in the car.

Ashley looked at Johnny and said, "Can you please bring one for me? Meanwhile I will go to the restroom to clean up."

Johnny hesitated. Ashley could tell from his expression that he wanted to say something. "Are you going to ask me to walk to the car with you looking like this?" She asked gesturing at her stained dress.

He was about to nod, but Ashley continued, "Because that's not going to happen. I will be fine here. It's just for a little while. No one is going to hurt me. Just hurry up, get the dress!"

Johnny didn't know how to respond so he hurried to go get the dress for her. Andrew was afraid that people might take advantage of her. That was why he had instructed Johnny to be around her no matter what happened.

But in this situation Johnny couldn't refuse Ashley's request. He quickly walked to the car.

Ashley looked around and found the restroom. She picked up her long dress a bit so she could walk faster, and she made her way to the restroom.

She looked at the wine stain on her dress and smiled wryly. She had really liked this dress.

She rinsed off the stain with water and it faded a little, but it was still very obvious.

Ashley felt really helpless. Andrew would definitely be mad at her for ruining the dress.
