A Love Trap novel Chapter 111

Claire could clearly see that Andrew was really nice to Ashley and that Ashley also cared about him. She just didn't know what had happened to the couple to make them act like this.

"No, Claire. Why do you ask?" Ashley asked as she ate, surprised that Claire had noticed.

"It is obvious. I can see that. You haven't talked to Mr. Lu once these past few days. And didn't you use to go to work together before? So why do you go separately now?"

Ashley hadn't thought that Claire would be so observant. She still wanted to keep the truth under wraps and said, "It isn't proper to speak while eating, so we don't talk at such times.

We don't go to work together because we don't go to the same place. His company is in the opposite direction to the place where I work. So I think it's not appropriate to bother him and I don't ask him to drive me."

It could be said that Ashley was good at giving random excuses.

But Claire was clever. She was older and had lived longer than them, with a variety of life experiences. She could see through everything about them and was even clearer about the situation than the couple.

She knew that what Ashley had said was partly true and partly false.

"Miss Mu, to be frank, Mr. Lu does care about you. No matter what has happened between you two, he is still concerned about you.

He did something for your own good, but he didn't know how to express his feelings. Maybe he talked tough, but he meant only good for you.

I can see that Mr. Lu is not good at expressing his feelings, but in front of you, he talks more, so please try to understand him when he doesn't.

If there is something wrong, just talk to him and explain things to him clearly. I believe Mr. Lu is easy to get along with." Ashley hadn't noticed this, but Claire had.

Every time they had dinner, Andrew would look at Ashley, with obvious love in his eyes.

Sometimes he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, so he would close his mouth and go back to whatever he was doing. Claire had seen that and had gotten anxious.

"We really didn't have a fight," Ashley said, staring at Claire hopelessly.

"Claire, whose side are you on? You're actually helping him." Ashley felt rather depressed.

"Of course I am on your side, Miss Mu. A couple may quarrel but will make up soon after. It's no big deal."

Ashley blushed. It was not a matter that could be solved through explanation. Andrew had such a strong possessive desire and would tell anybody to do what he asked for. She was not an employee in his company. Why should she listen to him?

And he had even sent someone to spy on her!

"Alright, Claire. I am going to work."

Ashley didn't want to talk about this any more. She stood up, preparing to leave.

"Miss Mu, think about what I said just now. You know I only have your best interests at heart."

"I know, Claire. I just need to leave."

Ashley took her bag and turned around to see Andrew standing at the door.

Ashley wanted to say hello to him, but she remembered that they were not on speaking terms. So she shut up and walked past him.

Claire shook her head. It was still not working.
