A Love Trap

The next day was Saturday, so Andrew didn't have to work, but Ashley had to go to the bakery because it was open seven days a week. There was no weekend break for her.

She was going to the bakery in Andrew's car as usual but suddenly, she noticed that they were going the wrong way.

She was an idiot when it came to directions, but, as she had been taking the same route to the bakery every day, she was able to catch the change in direction.

"Andrew, are we going the wrong way? This doesn't seem to be the way I go every day," she inquired.

"You are right. We are not going to the bakery today," Andrew, who was in the driver's seat, replied.

"Andrew, why didn't you ask for my consent before making plans for the day?" She stared at him indignantly. "Drive me to the bakery," she protested.

He didn't reply but instead sped up the car.

Ashley clutched the seat belt. She was a little worried now.

Finally, the car stopped at a large mall.

Andrew got out of the car, pulled the door open and dragged her out.

Ashley was still protesting. "Why do you drag me here?" she complained.

"To buy rings," he responded.

Ashley didn't trust her ears and opened her eyes widely. "What? What are you talking about?"

Andrew stared at Ashley and repeated, "You heard me. I brought you here to buy rings."
