A Love Trap

The moment Ashley saw Jeremy reaching out his hand to her, intending to touch her, she immediately flinched away from him.

Seeing this, Jeremy couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Not once did he think that Ashley would ever be this distant towards him.

In truth, Ashley still didn't know how to act towards him.

When she avoided his touch, it was almost a reflex from her subconscious. Even when she thought about it right after, she couldn't find a reason why she acted that way.

Jeremy's hand hovered awkwardly in the air, while he was thinking of whether or not he should just draw his arm back.

Seeing him like this, Ashley knew that he was embarrassed. The seconds felt like minutes as they stared at each other with slight discomfort.

Feeling trapped, she turned to Andrew, her eyes asking him the question that was in her mind.

In response, Andrew gave a prompt nod, hinting at her to do whatever she wanted. From the way he looked at her, Ashley knew that Andrew would take responsibility for anything that would happen no matter what.

Luckily, Jeremy had a lot of experience when it came to business. There were multiple times that he had been in an embarrassing situation. Because of this, he was able to quickly regain his composure.

With a faint smile, Ashley flinched her hand back. There was a little bitterness on his face as Jeremy smiled back at her.

"Ashley, I know what happened last night. Don't be afraid. I'm sure you want an explanation, and I can promise you that I'll give you one,"

Jeremy said while looking at Ashley intently.

Andrew deliberately didn't keep this information from Jeremy, so it was only a matter of time before word got out.

Upon hearing those words, Ashley couldn't help but ask the question that had been in her mind even before Jeremy arrived.

"So what are you going to do with her?" she asked.

Jeremy blinked, confused by her question. But when he saw her expectant eyes on him, he knew that he should reply carefully.
