A Love Trap

Ashley was playing on her mobile phone in the bedroom when Andrew's words suddenly popped into her mind.

"Remember to miss me and call me every day," Andrew had said before leaving.

She searched her contact list for Andrew's number. Looking at his name on the screen, she contemplated for a while before deciding to call him.

The phone rang for a long time, then automatically disconnected as there was no answer. Ashley tried two more times, but there was still no answer.

'Maybe he is busy with his work, '

she thought.

She stopped calling him. 'Anyway, I have called him thrice now. It was he who didn't answer the phone, ' she told herself.

After browsing Weibo for a while, Ashley started feeling drowsy. She put her mobile phone aside and lay down on the bed.

She was about to fall asleep when her mobile phone rang. She woke up with a start.

"Hello?" Ashley answered the phone, her voice sounding hoarse and languorous.

She glanced at the clock; it was already midnight. She wondered what kept Andrew so busy that he could only return her call so late at night.

"Have you gone to bed?" Normally, Andrew's tone was cold but at that moment, there was a hint of tenderness in his voice.

Ashley clenched the phone tight. She didn't know why she was feeling nervous. Maybe it was because she took the initiative to call him for the first time just now.

"Yes," Ashley replied in a low voice.

"Were you very busy just now?" she asked out of concern.

Andrew gently rubbed his temples with his hand. He didn't look like the sharp, ruthless businessman that he was. This intimate moment between him and Ashley brought out his softer side. "Yes. I have just finished some work," he replied wearily.

"Well, it's late. You should get some rest now," she said.

Andrew didn't say anything for a long time. Ashley wondered why he went silent and called out his name a few times.

"Okay," he responded.

Ashley was about to hang up but suddenly thought of what Raymond had said to her. She paused and licked her lips hesitantly. Finally, she decided to ask Andrew about it.
