A Love Trap

Every day at five o'clock sharp, Ashley would collect her belongings and wait for Andrew to come and pick her up.

Cheryl had been observing this for many days. Today, her curiosity got the better of her. She supported her chin in her hands and inquired cheekily, "Ashley, do you have a boyfriend? Is that why you leave exactly at the same time every day? Do you go to see him? When will you introduce him to us?"

Even Nina, who was not as nosy as Cheryl, turned to watch Ashley.

Ashley, who already had her bag in her hand, paused and gave them a mysterious smile. "Keep guessing."

Then she turned to her friend. "Ellie, I have to go now. You take care of the shop."

Ellie nodded.

After she left, Cheryl looked at Ellie expectantly and said, "Ellie, please tell us. Does Ashley really have a boyfriend? I'll keep it a secret. I promise!"

Ellie smiled and opened her mouth.

Just as Cheryl thought Ellie would tell her, Ellie gave her the same answer as Ashley did.

The suspense was killing her. 'Well, I will ask her again when she comes tomorrow. I'm sure I can get her to spill the beans.'

"You don't have to come to pick me up every day," Ashley told Andrew when she got into the car.

"Then who would you like to come to pick you up?" Andrew asked in his usual bland way.

"I can take a cab home. You are so busy with your work and you have a large company to run. Don't you feel tired of picking me up daily?"

"No."

Ashley turned silent. 'Then forget what I said.'
