A Love Trap

Raymond and Lena ware going to be there too. Ashley didn't want to see them.

She gripped her hands together and looked at Andrew. "I don't feel very well. Can I go home?"

Andrew didn't say anything, but his stare had already made her nervous. She felt like his handsome eyes could see right into her mind. Ashley lowered her head to avoid eye contact with him.

"What's wrong? Do you need to see a doctor?" Andrew asked as he pressed his hand against her forehead to see if she had a temperature.

"Oh, no!" Ashley said quickly. She then realized her obtrusiveness, and continued, "I'm just a little tired. It's not a big deal. I don't need to see a doctor. I just need to go home and have some rest." Andrew closed his lips lightly and looked at her with concern in his eyes.

He ordered Johnny to drive to the hospital.

Ashley was hoping that Andrew would agree to let her go back home, but when she realized he was going to take her to the hospital. She quickly interrupted Andrew by saying, "There's no need to go to the hospital. I'm feeling much better now. Let's go to the party."

"Don't push yourself! If you don't feel well, we can go to see a doctor," said Andrew seriously.

Ashley forced a smile on her face and looked at Andrew. "Really! I feel much better now. I remember you said that you have something very important to take care of. I'll be fine. Go take care of your business."

Andrew had a vague expression on his face. After telling her to take care of herself and instructing Johnny to take her to the hospital if she didn't feel well. He got out of the car and left.

Ashley watched Andrew leave and slumped back into the seat, breathing out a heavy sigh. It felt like the whole conversation with Andrew used up the last bit of her energy.

Johnny glanced at her from the rear view mirror then turned to look at Ashley with concern on his face. He said, "Miss Mu, forgive me for saying this. You don't look well. May I take you to the hospital?"

Ashley replied in a tired voice, "I'm fine. Just take me to the party."

Then she closed her eyes.
