A Love Trap novel Chapter 332

Ashley didn't know that Andrew could be so childish sometimes.

She replied, "Okay, I got it! But you should let Johnny be with you. He is your personal assistant, after all. What if you need him for something important? I will take a taxi home. Don't worry about me, I will be fine."

Andrew insisted, "It's not a problem. I will be worried if you go home by yourself. Honey, don't worry. Okay? Johnny will give you a ride when you're ready to go home."

Since he insisted so much, Ashley couldn't refuse him. She had no choice but to agree.

So, she replied, "Okay, will do."

They chatted for a while and ended the call before Amaia could get to her desk.

Or else, the gossip-loving Amaia would ask Ashley about the person she was talking to.

As Andrew was going to work late, she figured that there was no need for her to tell him about the meeting she was going to have with Ron later on.

She was just going to see her brother. She didn't think it was a big deal. Besides, Johnny was going to be with her.

Ashley figured Andrew would not be mad at her for this.

Despite knowing how much Andrew liked to be in control and how jealous he could be, Ashley still decided not to tell him.

After her work was done for the day, she walked to her usual pick-up spot. Johnny was waiting for her.

Getting into the car, Ashley gave him an address. "Take me to this place first, I have something to do."

Johnny responded, "Yes, ma'am."

During the drive, Ashley asked, "Do you have to return to the office after dropping me off at home?"

Johnny replied, "No, ma'am. Mr. Lu said my work will be done after taking you home."

Ashley acknowledged his response with a simple, "Okay."

The car stopped in front of a quiet coffee shop. Ashley said, "Please wait for me for a moment, Johnny. I won't take too long."

Then she walked out. In just a few steps, she thought of something. She returned to the car and said, "If I take too long, you may leave. I will take a taxi home."

Ashley hadn't seen Ron for a quite some time. She might want to talk to him for a while longer and she didn't like to make Johnny wait so long for her. That was why she returned to the car and gave those instructions to him.

However, Johnny shook his head and replied, "Miss Mu, don't worry about me. You may take your time. And I will wait for you no matter what."

The last time that he didn't insist on driving Ashley home, he got in big trouble. Andrew was angry with him for a long time. No matter what Ashley said, he was not going to agree and let her go home alone. He had to be the one to give her a ride home.

If Ashley knew what was on Johnny's mind, she wouldn't have bothered to bring up this suggestion.

She knew Andrew was just worried about her safety.

She replied, "Alright then. I will make it as short as I can."

Ashley turned around intending to leave after that exchange.

Out of curiosity, Johnny asked, "Miss Mu, why have you come here?"

Ashley wasn't planning on hiding it from him. So she replied honestly, "To meet a friend!"

Johnny's mind spun fast after hearing her answer. He wondered which friend she was going to meet. And more importantly, he wondered about the gender of this "friend". He also wondered if this friend might be Andrew's rival for his wife's love.

Johnny couldn't help but wonder if Ashley was going to see some guy who might pose a threat to his boss's love life. He started to debate in his mind whether he should stop Ashley from meeting this friend who might cause problems for his boss. He also mulled over whether he should tell Andrew about it.

Ashley didn't know that her simple reply would put Johnny in a tizzy.

However, she did catch the strange and anxious look on Johnny's face. So she explained, "It is a man but he is my brother. By the way, don't mention this to your boss! Or, I will make you regret it!"

Ashley added the threat to keep her secret safe.

She wasn't afraid of Andrew finding out; she just didn't want him to feel jealous.

Johnny's face froze. He wondered how Ashley knew he was thinking those things.
