A Love Trap

Andrew's phone had been busy recently and it was quite mysterious.

"Madam," Linda greeted as Ashley walked downstairs.

"Linda, did Andy and Grandpa go out?"

"Yes, madam. What would you like to have for breakfast?"

"Anything is fine." Smiling at her, Ashley sat down at the table. Soon, Linda served milk, sandwiches, soybean milk and fried dough sticks on the table.

Ashley ate a little and wiped her mouth. She checked her phone once in a while for any updates from Andrew.

Finally, after she finished her breakfast, there was a call from Andrew.

The moment Andrew's name displayed on the caller ID, Ashley's expression softened. She quickly answered the phone. "Hello, Andy."

"Morning. You've gotten up?" he said in a soft and charming voice.

"Yes," Ashley replied in a low voice.

"Okay. So, when did you wake up?"

Ashley put on her shoes and answered, "Just now, Andy. I have finished my breakfast. I am going to my office now."

"Why don't you come here?"

Hearing his words, Ashley rolled her eyes at him. "How is that possible? I don't want to argue with you about what happened yesterday. I have to go to my company now. There are so many things to do that have piled up and I need to clear them all as soon as possible."

Andrew knew quite well about Ashley's stubborn nature. If she had decided on something, she would not change her mind.

He said, "Okay, as you wish. Be careful on the road. Call me if you need anything."

"Yeah, I know. I'm not a child anymore. How could I not know these things? Well, I have to hang up now. I'm leaving shortly,"

Ashley said as she buckled up.

"Ashley, you are here." As soon as Ashley her office her office, Alice, who was preparing some files, walked up to her.
