A Love Trap novel Chapter 40

The minute the plane landed, Raymond felt a sense of urgency to check out and head to the company. All this time, while traveling he was bothered by something. Unable to put himself with the odd feeling, he himself couldn't explain why he was feeling that way.

Upon checking out, Raymond walked out of the airport with a suitcase.

His assistant who was there to pick him up took his suitcase and greeted him, "Mr. Luo."

Recently, Raymond always felt like something was going to happen. The unfamiliar hunch was way lesser when he was away on official business. But now that he was home, the gut feeling grew even stronger.

"Has anything happened in the company while I was away?"

In the car, Raymond asked his assistant who was sitting in the front seat.

The assistant had been loyal to him from the start. Raymond knew he could be trusted, even with confidential personal matters. So this time, he deliberately left the assistant in the Luo Group so that someone could report to him in case Ashley would be bullied.

Despite knowing his boss for a long time, the assistant was only vaguely aware of what was between Raymond and Ashley. That was the reason why when Raymond asked him to look after Ashley, he thought it was a difficult task.

Turning back and facing his boss, the assistant didn't know how to spill the beans to Raymond. He tried to open his mouth but no words came out. Then he just wiped cold sweats from his forehead and coughed to distract Raymond for a while.

After thinking for a moment, he said with a shaky voice, "The company has no big problems. There's only one thing... Miss Mu... Miss Mu resigned." He thought that was the news Raymond wanted to hear. Unfortunately, he couldn't give more details of Miss Mu's resignation because he just knew it lately, too.

Although Raymond left him at the company to take care of Ashley Mu, he still had a lot of work to do and couldn't follow her for 24 hours. After all, he couldn't possibly know everything that happened in the company.

"You mean Lena Mu resigned?" Raymond shifted his gaze from the car windows and looked at his assistant, confused.

Ashley's and Lena's positions in the Luo Group were almost the same. Lena was the daughter of the Mus and Raymond's fiancée as well. So when she wanted to enter the company at that time, Raymond couldn't refuse. Worst was, it was his mother who let Lena enter the company. Raymond was left with no other choice but to agree with their decisions.

Raymond had always thought Ashley would not resign, knowing her determined spirit. So he just felt that the "Miss Mu" in the assistant's words referred to Lena.

'However, didn't Lena desperately want to enter the Luo Group? Why would she resign now?' Raymond thought.

The assistant realized Raymond had got it wrong. He swallowed a lump and explained, "No, not Lena Mu, but Ashley Mu."

"What? You mean Ashley resigned?" gasped Raymond in disbelief just after the assistant stopped talking. He looked at him incredulously and his voice increased to a roar.

"Ye... Yes, sir." Although the assistant did not understand why Raymond was so furious, he still nodded honestly.

Personally, he thought the relationship between Raymond and Ashley was strange. But Ashley didn't want to let anyone know about her relationship with Raymond before, so she hid it very well. The assistant thought they were good friends and didn't think much about it at all.

"Drive to the company now!"

While the assistant was still confused, he just followed Raymond's anxious command.

"But Mr. Luo, you are just back. Don't you want to take a rest first?"

the assistant suggested out of kindness. Because Raymond had been on a business trip for so long and hadn't got over his jet lag yet. In addition, he had just negotiated a large deal. So he must be exhausted now.

But Raymond didn't seem to hear it. He took out his cell phone and dialed the same number again and again.

"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off. Please redial later...

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off...

Sorry..."

After that annoying incident, Ashley had blacklisted Raymond's phone number.

Anyway, they had broken up. Ashley decided that they could no longer be friends. It would never be possible for them to get along after such a devastating incident.

Moreover, there were so many things that stood in the way between them. Lena, their parents, and Raymond's parents too, they were too much for Ashley.

They soon arrived at the company, Raymond got out of the car the moment it stopped. The assistant had to follow him closely.
