A Love Trap

Not knowing when Andrew would arrive, Ashley found herself a secluded seat and sat down while she waited for him.

"Do you know if Caroline still has feelings for Raymond? I just heard that she almost quarreled with Lena," said a woman who was gossiping.

"Who knows. Caroline made it known to everyone that she was chasing Raymond back then. She almost has declared it to the whole world. However, she was refused by Raymond, and you know, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Let alone a woman as arrogant as Caroline."

"That's right. Now that Raymond and Lena are engaged, she is probably feeling even worse. It adds jealousy to the fury when you see a love rival. Surely they are graceful enough to refrain from fighting? It's nothing just to quarrel." What the woman said sounded plausible, and it was as if she had firsthand information.

"Is it possible that she just hates Lena? After all, it's no secret that Lena is at odds with Caroline."

"I think that's probably the reason."

"I can't say for sure. It's probably a combination of both."

It was said that "Three women are enough for a drama." Yet here, several women were gossiping, and one could only imagine how many dramas they could make.

Ashley hadn't expected to overhear the piece of gossip since she chose a reclusive spot on purpose. Evidently, the women thought they had chosen a private place to tittle-tattle as well.

She knew the Caroline they spoke about. When Ashley was with Raymond, Caroline had taken a fancy to him way back then and would always hang around him.

Ashley and Raymond were very discreet with their relationship, so Caroline had no idea that they were a couple. Eventually, Raymond must have said something to Caroline because after that she never hung around him anymore.

Now that Ashley found out what Raymond was like, she felt grateful that she had broken up with him. Otherwise, she didn't know what she would have done with Raymond being such a womanizer.

Ironically, little did Ashley know that Andrew would attract even more women than Raymond in the future.
