A Love Trap novel Chapter 44

"What? The woman in the photo isn't you?" he said abruptly.

Ashley nodded while she gave him a blank look.

Leo just came back from abroad and Peggy was his aunt.

Peggy had promised him earlier that she would introduce him to a beautiful woman. But the one he saw standing before him was far from beautiful. She was even dressed in embarrassingly ugly clothes. Obviously, she had very poor taste in clothing.

Even though Peggy was Leo's aunt, they weren't related by blood. Peggy was an orphan who had been adopted and brought up by Leo's family members.

She didn't have a high status while she lived in the Su family but despite that, the Su family never treated her badly.

However, when Peggy met Spencer and became his wife, she became a noble and wealthy woman. She enjoyed the high status and was envied by many people.

The Su family had always been kind to Peggy and never treated her badly. So when the time came, one of their family members was in need of help, and Peggy stepped in. She didn't forget the Su family and helped Leo have the chance to study abroad and receive his doctor's degree.

When Ashley waltzed into the coffee shop dressed the way she was, everyone gawked at her. However, now that Leo had raised his voice he had become the focus of the people's attention as well as Ashley.

In fact, since Ashley was dressed so badly and Leo was so ugly, they looked like a good match for each other.

Leo began to sulk and pulled a long face.

Peggy assured him that he would be going on a blind date with a very attractive and beautiful woman today and he was really looking forward to it. However, to his surprise, the woman standing before him wasn't pretty nor charming at all.

She reminded him of an unsophisticated and uneducated country bumpkin. The clothes that she was wearing indeed made her look so ugly. And the large pair of black framed glasses that nearly covered her whole face, made her look ridiculous. He wondered if she might be half blind as well as ugly.

Leo was so angry, that he was about to stand up and leave.

However, before he got the chance to, Ashley said, "Hey, are you Mr. Su? Hi. I'm Ashley Mu."

Ashley then deliberately paused for a moment, pretending to be bashful, and then added in a softer voice, "My name is Ashley Mu. I'm your blind date.

Mrs. Mu told me that you have just come back from studying abroad and that you received your doctor's degree. Now you're working as the vice president of a hospital. You are really amazing!" Ashley fluttered her long eyelashes and looked at Leo with admiration when she spoke.

Leo was about to leave. But he stopped when he heard what Ashley had said.

He was such an egotistical man that he just couldn't resist staying on to feed his ego some more. In general, every vainglorious man would be smug after he heard someone make such complimentary remarks.

And Leo was such a vain man. So once Ashley had finished speaking, he started to be a little friendlier to her even if he was disgusted by her appearance.

Ashley knew what kind of man she was dealing with and when she noticed that he was being nicer to her and less annoyed with her, she couldn't help but feel amused and sneer inside at him.

She couldn't let Leo go so soon. Otherwise, if Peggy found out, she would know that Ashley did something to sabotage the blind date.

"Err... I indeed just came back from abroad after graduation, having the doctor's degree," Leo said in an arrogant voice, raising his chin a bit.

"Mr. Su, please have a seat. We can stay here and have a chat. After all, we have plenty of time," Ashley remarked.

Leo stared at Ashley with disgust. His narrowed eyes were almost closed. In addition, his expression of complete disdain made his face even uglier.

Leo finally sat back down, and he thought at least she was good at giving compliments even if she didn't look beautiful, and he was satisfied with that.

Ashley knew that if she came dressed like she normally would he would most likely want to start a relationship with her. That was the reason why Ashley dressed the way she did. She didn't want to get married yet and wanted to put him off with her appearance.

It was fortunate, for Leo, that Ashley had no idea what he was thinking. Otherwise, if she did, she would probably have spat the coffee out into his face.
