A Love Trap

Upon hearing Amaia's suggestion, Ashley heaved a heavy sigh. "Okay. Perhaps next time I'll introduce you to him. He's been swamped with work lately. So you'll have to wait."

Ashley's heart was racing.

She didn't know how Amaia would react if she knew her husband was Andrew.

Amaia agreed.

"Oh, by the way, why are you still here? Usually, you would have already left in a hurry by now. Is he going to be late to pick you up?"

Knowing now that Ashley was married, Amaia figured that it was her husband who would come to pick her up after work.

Ashley replied, "No, he has to finish some work tonight. He can't come and pick me up."

"Oh, I understand. Now I know why you're still here chatting with me," said Amaia.

Ashley held her arm and said, "All right, Amaia, let's go."

They walked out of the building. Right before Ashley said goodbye to Amaia, she saw a person whom she would prefer not to see for the rest of her life.

It was Raymond. He saw Ashley too.

Ashley was in a loose, casual white T-shirt and a pair of dark blue shorts. She had her hair pulled into a ponytail. Ashley looked young and pretty, like a college student.

It was hard for Raymond to move his eyes away from Ashley. He watched as she smiled and chatted with her friend.

The image in front of him reminded Raymond of the old times when he was with Ashley. When they used to study and hang out together, he would wait for Ashley to finish her class, and they would go on a date.

Raymond really missed those days. There was a flash of longing in his eyes. However, when he closed his eyes and opened them again, the expression in his eyes was gone.

Raymond walked straight to Ashley and called, "Ash..."
