A Love Trap

"Well, when Lena met me a few days ago, I already knew that she was pregnant. And something seemed amiss so I recorded our conversation. But I didn't expect that it would come in handy one day," Ashley said.

Amaia nodded. "Well, thank God, you recorded your conversation! Otherwise, the public would not believe that you were innocent no matter how much you explained. Besides, your sister is really a bad person! How could she be so cruel? She can't get away with this awful crime!"

"I know," Ashley said.

After their chat, both women got back to work.

The company's annual Jewelry Design Competition would be held soon. All employees of the company could participate in it.

But most of the participants were from the design department. After all, very few people in other departments had an interest or the skills required for jewelry design.

A handful of people had learned jewelry design on their own, so they would also participate in the competition.

The Jewelry Design Competition was going to be held in mid-June and it was already early June. So, there was very little time left for them to prepare for it.

For the first round, participants needed to design a piece of jewelry, and also write down the explanation behind the inspiration for the design.

This wasn't a difficult task for many of the participants.

Ashley was working when someone knocked on her desk and said, "Ashley, Miss Mo wanted to see you in her office."

"Okay, thank you!" Ashley replied.

When Ashley was about to leave, someone pinched her arm gently. She turned around and saw that Amaia was making a cheering gesture at her.

She smiled at Amaia amicably and left.

Walking into the office, Ashley carefully closed the door. "Miss Mo, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes," Kelly replied and nodded.

She looked at Ashley carefully and didn't say anything for a while.
