A Love Trap novel Chapter 183

Every day at five o'clock sharp, Ashley would collect her belongings and wait for Andrew to come and pick her up.

Cheryl had been observing this for many days. Today, her curiosity got the better of her. She supported her chin in her hands and inquired cheekily, "Ashley, do you have a boyfriend? Is that why you leave exactly at the same time every day? Do you go to see him? When will you introduce him to us?"

Even Nina, who was not as nosy as Cheryl, turned to watch Ashley.

Ashley, who already had her bag in her hand, paused and gave them a mysterious smile. "Keep guessing."

Then she turned to her friend. "Ellie, I have to go now. You take care of the shop."

Ellie nodded.

After she left, Cheryl looked at Ellie expectantly and said, "Ellie, please tell us. Does Ashley really have a boyfriend? I'll keep it a secret. I promise!"

Ellie smiled and opened her mouth.

Just as Cheryl thought Ellie would tell her, Ellie gave her the same answer as Ashley did.

The suspense was killing her. 'Well, I will ask her again when she comes tomorrow. I'm sure I can get her to spill the beans.'

"You don't have to come to pick me up every day," Ashley told Andrew when she got into the car.

"Then who would you like to come to pick you up?" Andrew asked in his usual bland way.

"I can take a cab home. You are so busy with your work and you have a large company to run. Don't you feel tired of picking me up daily?"

"No."

Ashley turned silent. 'Then forget what I said.'

After they got back home and had dinner, they went to the bedroom. Ashley lay on the bed and chatted with Ellie on her cell phone.

She had decided to introduce someone to Ellie. She couldn't let her best friend stay single anymore.

"Just wait and watch. I will gather a group of boys for you to pick from."

Just as she hit send, she felt some movement beside her. Andrew's cold voice was in her ear. "A group of boys? For whom to pick?" he inquired.

She had been with Andrew long enough to know that this was a forewarning. It meant he was about to lose his cool. If she hadn't learned to read these signs, she wouldn't be here for a long time.

Ashley put away her cell phone and said to him laughingly, "I was just joking. I was talking to Ellie. I want to set her up with a nice boy. She should have a serious relationship now. She is very lonely."

Earlier, she used to hang out with Ellie most of the time. And now they could only see each other at the shop.

Andrew glanced at her sideways. "This is her private matter," he said lightly.

Ashley gave him a dissatisfied look and said, "Ellie's business is my business."

"So, do you have any male friends who are affectionate and loyal?" Ashley added.

"None."

Francis was a playboy, always messing around with different women. Greyson was almost a child, so of course Andrew couldn't consider him. The only one left was Jeremy. He was nice to everyone indiscriminately. No one knew him better than Andrew. Basically, none of his friends was a suitable match for Ellie.

"Oh, yeah. I almost forgot your social status," she muttered.
