A Love Trap novel Chapter 313

Ashley's eyes were fixed on Kelly. "What do you think, Miss Mo?"

Seeing Ashley's pale face and her inability to articulate earlier, Kelly didn't think highly of her. She doubted Amaia's taste in friends.

However, what Ashley said later really impressed her.

Kelly looked at her for a while. Ashley was about to give up when she suddenly said, "Okay, I will believe you just this once. I hope you don't let me down."

Ashley replied, "Thank you Miss Mo! You will not regret this!"

"All right, you may go."

With Kelly's permission, Ashley nodded and walked out.

As Kelly watched her go, she remembered that Ashley was brought into the business by Johnny. He had said that Ashley had a friend in a high position in the company. He told Kelly to take special care of her.

Kelly disliked people who took shortcuts in life. And everyone knew this about her. She was already irked about hiring Ashley under such conditions. There was no way that Kelly was going out of her way to help Ashley out.

If Kelly was being honest, she liked Ashley's attitude. Even though Ashley had taken a shortcut, unlike Sylvia, she worked diligently.

Kelly hoped Johnny didn't lie about Ashley's background. Or, she would fire her no matter what.

The second Ashley walked back to her desk, Amaia came over. Grabbing Ashley's hand, she asked, "So, what happened? Are you going to be okay, Ash?"

Ashley replied, "I am fine!"

Amaia nodded. "I knew you would be. Kelly is a good boss and we have a pretty good relationship with her. She would not fire you just like that!"

Ashley smiled back at her and nodded.

Sylvia heard their conversation. She clenched her fist and bit her lip in frustration.

She couldn't understand how Ashley could be okay. After everything that happened, Sylvia couldn't come up with an explanation why Kelly hadn't fired Ashley yet.

Of what she knew about Kelly, her boss would have fired her immediately.

Sylvia suspected that someone in the company was protecting Ashley. However, she had no clue that that person would be in such a high position that even Kelly was afraid to challenge him or her.

"Ash...Ashley, I believe you too! I know you are not that kind of a girl. Don't worry about what they say," said a male co-worker.

When Ashley was about to get back to her work, another cute male co-worker who had a desk next to hers started a conversation with her.

Ashley recalled that he had doubted her abilities when she had just joined this department. However, his views seemed to have changed.

His name was Evan Li. He wore glasses and was about six feet tall. He was quite handsome.

Ashley was surprised to hear this comment from him. She took a moment to recover from the shock before replying, "Thank you!"

"You...you are welcome," he said shyly. It seemed that Ashley's appreciation embarrassed him. His face turned a tinge of red instantly. After muttering something awkwardly, he turned away.

Amaia looked at Evan Li first and then at Ashley. She stifled a giggle.

The Luo Group couldn't compete with such a big corporation. The Lu Group definitely had better office management. Even though everyone had heard what happened to Ashley, nobody dared to discuss it in public.

Outside the CEO's office, Johnny knocked on the door and waited. A stern voice came from inside, and he walked in.

Andrew was seated on his chair, looking at some papers. He was too absorbed to look at his assistant.

Johnny wondered if Andrew would be able to keep his cool when he heard the rumor about Ashley.

"Mr. Lu, I have news for you. It's about Miss Mu," Johnny started tentatively.

Andrew was not happy about the interruption. He was about to reprimand Johnny, but he stopped when he heard Ashley's name.
