A Love Trap

Ashley's eyes were fixed on Kelly. "What do you think, Miss Mo?"

Seeing Ashley's pale face and her inability to articulate earlier, Kelly didn't think highly of her. She doubted Amaia's taste in friends.

However, what Ashley said later really impressed her.

Kelly looked at her for a while. Ashley was about to give up when she suddenly said, "Okay, I will believe you just this once. I hope you don't let me down."

Ashley replied, "Thank you Miss Mo! You will not regret this!"

"All right, you may go."

With Kelly's permission, Ashley nodded and walked out.

As Kelly watched her go, she remembered that Ashley was brought into the business by Johnny. He had said that Ashley had a friend in a high position in the company. He told Kelly to take special care of her.

Kelly disliked people who took shortcuts in life. And everyone knew this about her. She was already irked about hiring Ashley under such conditions. There was no way that Kelly was going out of her way to help Ashley out.

If Kelly was being honest, she liked Ashley's attitude. Even though Ashley had taken a shortcut, unlike Sylvia, she worked diligently.

Kelly hoped Johnny didn't lie about Ashley's background. Or, she would fire her no matter what.

The second Ashley walked back to her desk, Amaia came over. Grabbing Ashley's hand, she asked, "So, what happened? Are you going to be okay, Ash?"

Ashley replied, "I am fine!"

Amaia nodded. "I knew you would be. Kelly is a good boss and we have a pretty good relationship with her. She would not fire you just like that!"

Ashley smiled back at her and nodded.

Sylvia heard their conversation. She clenched her fist and bit her lip in frustration.

She couldn't understand how Ashley could be okay. After everything that happened, Sylvia couldn't come up with an explanation why Kelly hadn't fired Ashley yet.
