A Love Trap

Dressed in formal pants with a crisp, white shirt as usual, Raymond looked clean and handsome.

Ashley, who was sitting opposite him, came to the point immediately, ignoring the milk tea on the table. "Tell me what happened."

Raymond's lips curved in a charming smile when he looked at her. "Ashley, you are finally here. This is your favorite milk tea. Come on, take a sip and tell me if it is still as tasty."

Ashley lowered her head and saw the milk tea with ice and lemon—her all-time favorite summer drink.

She used to indulge in a cup every time she came here. Milk, lemon tea and ice were mixed together in this refreshing. Her face relaxed when she sipped it.

'Well, he hasn't forgotten my taste.'

Instead of taking a sip, Ashley said, "No, thanks. I'm not thirsty now. Please tell me what you want."

Raymond's face fell.

"Ashley, I'm sorry for what happened in the shopping mall. I thought it was you who pushed Lena, but when I found out that she wasn't hurt at all, I knew it wasn't your fault. I shouldn't have blamed you for that." Looking into Ashley's eyes, Raymond had the urge to hold her hand. But Ashley dodged him.

"Ashley, are you still mad at me? I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't know Lena had done such things..."

Ashley interrupted him mid-sentence. "If this is what you want to tell me, I'm sorry I have no interest. I have to go now,"

she said dismissively and started to leave.

She had no time to chitchat over the milk tea with Raymond. They were neither lovers nor friends anymore.
