A Love Trap

Ashley didn't know that Andrew could be so childish sometimes.

She replied, "Okay, I got it! But you should let Johnny be with you. He is your personal assistant, after all. What if you need him for something important? I will take a taxi home. Don't worry about me, I will be fine."

Andrew insisted, "It's not a problem. I will be worried if you go home by yourself. Honey, don't worry. Okay? Johnny will give you a ride when you're ready to go home."

Since he insisted so much, Ashley couldn't refuse him. She had no choice but to agree.

So, she replied, "Okay, will do."

They chatted for a while and ended the call before Amaia could get to her desk.

Or else, the gossip-loving Amaia would ask Ashley about the person she was talking to.

As Andrew was going to work late, she figured that there was no need for her to tell him about the meeting she was going to have with Ron later on.

She was just going to see her brother. She didn't think it was a big deal. Besides, Johnny was going to be with her.

Ashley figured Andrew would not be mad at her for this.

Despite knowing how much Andrew liked to be in control and how jealous he could be, Ashley still decided not to tell him.

After her work was done for the day, she walked to her usual pick-up spot. Johnny was waiting for her.

Getting into the car, Ashley gave him an address. "Take me to this place first, I have something to do."

Johnny responded, "Yes, ma'am."

During the drive, Ashley asked, "Do you have to return to the office after dropping me off at home?"

Johnny replied, "No, ma'am. Mr. Lu said my work will be done after taking you home."

Ashley acknowledged his response with a simple, "Okay."

The car stopped in front of a quiet coffee shop. Ashley said, "Please wait for me for a moment, Johnny. I won't take too long."
