A Love Trap

"He just did what he had to do under this circumstance in our company. He would do the same if it happened to anyone else. So it isn't true that he did that just to protect me.

I believe if you were in my position, he would treat you the same as he treated me.

Okay, if you don't have anything else, could you leave me alone? I have something else to do."

The faces of the group of people turned stiff. Each of them proceeded to flash an awkward smile and said, "Sure. If you're busy, we won't bother you anymore."

As they said that, they started to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute," said Ashley.

"What is it?"

"Please take all these things back. I can't take these gifts for doing nothing for you. Besides, these gifts are very expensive. I can't give you the same gifts in return."

Their smiles suddenly became twisted. Under Ashley's watch, they had to come over to her desk and pick up the things they left beside her computer.

After they all left, Ashley breathed a huge sigh of relief. She showed them some attitude and her tone wasn't pleasant to hear. Surely they didn't feel good being at the receiving end of it. So she hoped they wouldn't bother her anymore.

Amaia came back after the crowd was all gone. She asked, "How did it go? What did they say to you? Were they fawning over you?"

Ashley bent on her desk and nodded. "You were right. It's just as you expected. Now that they know that Johnny is my cousin. A lot of people came over to fawn over me."

After she watched Amaia for a while, she added, "Well, next time they come over, you have to help me. Otherwise I'll give Johnny's contact information to them and let them go after him." Ashley couldn't know better what these women could be thinking.

Amaia immediately got worked up. "How dare you, Ashley!"

"Okay, I won't do it. But you know those women's hearts. They all desire to win Johnny's heart for their own. Next time you have to help me deal with them. Keep them away from me."

Amaia clenched her teeth and replied, "Okay.
