A Love Trap

Chapter 392 Get In By Pulling Strings

Ashley said, "I did much better than you did."

"Ashley, I got a package delivered a moment ago. It was at the reception downstairs. Could you please help me with it?"

Ashley saw Amaia was busy with her work and replied, "Sure." She then went downstairs to look for the package.

Ashley didn't know if it was because of the statement she made to her colleagues last time, but now they weren't following her or trying to catch her attention. Though a few guys approached her from time to time, it appeared that she wasn't in the spotlight now. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She went downstairs to the reception counter and asked, "Hello. I come to pick a package for Amaia. The package tracking number is ended with..."

"All right. Wait a minute."

The receptionist smiled to her and went to get the package.

"Here is your package. Please sign here."

Ashley signed and said, "Okay, thank you."

"You are welcome."

Ashley picked up the package. Not knowing what was inside, it felt quite heavy.

A few people came to offer help in carrying the package for her but Ashley respectfully declined.

After the people left, Ashley carried the package upstairs.

Susie stepped into the gate of the Lu Group at this moment. She came to see Andrew and asked him something about Jeremy.

She had been going to the office frequently as of late, and the people knew her. They didn't try to stop her.

Susie spotted Ashley's back and wondered if it was her.

She wasn't sure and so she walked faster to catch up.

At this moment, Ashley happened to turn back and Susie saw her face. It was really Ashley! Susie's eyes widened and she briskly walked towards her.

She thought of the last time they met, her friend slapped her on the face and her brother took her side. Fury immediately surged up in her heart.

She ran up and blocked Ashley's way.

Ashley wasn't able to walk fast because of the heavy package, so Susie easily caught up to her and stood in front of her, effectively blocking her way.

Susie grabbed her arm and pulled Ashley hoping to stop her.

Ashley had to hold the package with only one hand because Susie was dragging her other arm. Susie was intent on stopping Ashley dead on her tracks.

She dragged Ashley's arm by force. Ashley was caught off-guard and couldn't hold the heavy package. The package then fell to the ground with a big thud.

"What are you doing?" Ashley couldn't help but get angry even if she was in good spirits earlier.

"Ha! It's really you, Ashley!" exclaimed Susie.

Ashley saw clearly who was dragging her arm. It was Andrew's sister, Susie.

She frowned and asked Susie, "What do you want?"

Ashley didn't like Susie, and the feeling was mutual for Susie.

'She looks so cheap. How could she match Andrew? What's even more outrageous is that Andrew treats her so nicely!'

"What do I want? What if I want nothing?" snarled Susie.

Ashley grew impatient. "If you have nothing else to say, please let me go. I am working here. I have a lot of work to do."

Susie acted as if she had heard a joke. "Working here? You? How could you be working here? This is my brother's company. How did you get in here?"

Susie's questions felt like barbs, while her furious eyes stared a hole into Ashley.

"How I got in here doesn't concern you. You let go off my arm!" exclaimed Ashley.

"I won't. What can you do then? You knew clearly in your heart how you got in here. My brother had to pull some strings so that you could work in this company. You are utterly disgusting, Ashley! You dirty bitch! I'll do whatever I can to stop you from getting into the Lu family. You can only be a mistress at the most!"

Susie's heart was filled with jealousy and anger. She grabbed Ashley's arm with more force as a result.

'What could be the reason she got a job here? Why?'

Susie knew Jeremy liked girls that were self-promoted and independent. So she told her brother many times that she wanted to work in the Lu Group or in Jeremy's company, but Andrew had never agreed.

But now look at Ashley! She had been working here for who knows how long! This really pissed Susie off!

Susie was adored and had never been treated unfairly. Whatever problems occurred, somebody would fix them for her.

As the daughter of the Lu family, everyone around her was eager to fawn over her. That encouraged the worst side of her disposition. The manners and bearing that she cultivated in the past were cast millions of miles away.

Now she shouted hysterically like an under educated woman, which made the jaws of the people on the scene drop.

Wasn't this the proud and invincible Susie?

A staff with sharp eyes saw them arguing and sensed something was wrong. She stepped back and then after a second thought, she hurriedly went upstairs.

Ashley was Johnny's cousin, but Susie was the daughter of the Lu family.

Most of the staff didn't have a good impression towards Susie because she looked down on everyone here due to her family background. They couldn't do anything about it but conceded to the fact that she was blessed to be born in that family.

Ashley wanted to laugh after she heard Susie's words.

Andrew pulled strings to get her here? She was a dirty bitch? She didn't want to work here. Susie thought she was eager to work here?

Staring at Susie, a mocking grin appeared on Ashley's lips. "You are right. Your brother adores me, loves me and wants me to work in his company. So what? What can you do to me? You go ahead and ask your brother to fire me if you can. I dare you to do that!"

Ashley felt much better when she saw Susie's face twisted into an ugly scowl. She could finally vent her emotions out.

Did Susie think that she was somebody who could walk all over anyone as she liked?

"Let me go!" shouted Ashley. She tried to break away from Susie's grip, but to her surprise, Susie had quite a strong grip and no matter how hard she tried, Ashley couldn't make Susie release her arm.

"What do you really want?" asked Ashley.

Susie grabbed Ashley's hair with her other hand. "Did you seduce my brother and make him give you this job, Ashley? How could you stoop so low?"

"Ouch!" cried Ashley out of pain, "Let me go!"

Susie was satisfied with Ashley's miserable situation. She pulled her hair several times and said, "I won't let you go. So what are you going to do about it?"

Susie had totally forgotten about Andrew's warning and her fear towards him. The excitement of the moment overwhelmed her.

All she was thinking now was to take revenge for the slap she got from Ashley's best friend, Ellie. And so she was grinning from ear to ear as she saw Ashley in such a miserable situation.

The staff took the lift and went directly to the floor where Andrew was having a meeting. She was stopped by an assistant who was watching outside the meeting room.

The staff hurriedly told the assistant, "Go to tell the special aide as soon as possible. The CEO's sister is downstairs and she is arguing with Johnny's cousin. They are going to have a fight soon."

Upon hearing the news, the assistant was having second thoughts on barging into the conference room. Andrew and some important people were in the middle of a meeting. So nobody could get into the room.
