A Love Trap

Chapter 69 Greyson's Arrangement

Considering Alvin's character, Greyson thought that it might be good for him to let Alvin be his man and follow him around to work for him.

Even though Alvin had no idea why Greyson would ask him what he could do, he still managed to make a reply. With all honesty, he answered, "I can cook food, wash clothes, use computer, design..."

Upon hearing Alvin say that he could cook food and wash clothes, Greyson suddenly felt that he seemed to find a man who could help him do household chores.

He was surprised that such a handsome young man with a delicate face could even cook food and wash clothes.

However, Greyson didn't need him to do any housework, as there was already someone responsible for doing housework in his house.

But when he learned that Alvin was interested in computer, Greyson felt a bit more satisfied. He thought his qualifications would really serve him best.

Since Alvin at least had his own professional skill, Greyson decided to let him stay by his side to do things for him. If Alvin could only do housework like cooking meals and washing clothes, without being good at doing other things, Greyson might surely be disappointed in him and make him leave right away.

Noticing that Alvin seemed to go on saying, Greyson immediately interrupted him, "Okay. I see. You don't need to explain further."

Inside him, he thought that if Alvin would keep on speaking, his words might make him so drowsy that he would even fall asleep right there and then.

"Okay. You can go for now. I will contact you in case I'll need your services. You don't have to be afraid of them now. They won't dare bully you again," With an encouraging expression, Greyson consoled Alvin.

Prepared to leave, Alvin nodded in return grateful for Greyson's show of concern.

After Alvin left, Greyson slowly made his way out of the Starlight Club. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Taking out his phone, he made a call to someone, telling him to look and prepare a shop for him. He would go visit and check it tomorrow.

The person on the other end of the line who received Greyson's phone call got stunned at the sudden order, but after hearing Greyson's words, he promised that he would try his best to find the best shop which would satisfy Greyson.

After hanging up the phone, Greyson opened his WeChat account and chatted with Ellie.

Luckily, he had also asked Ellie for her contact information last time as he knew that Ashley would not share anything to him.

It seemed that Ellie could be more easily persuaded than Ashley, and Ellie couldn't resist the lure of Greyson's charm. Thus in a matter of just minutes, she would tell Greyson about anything as long as Greyson said something to please or flatter her in some way.

When her phone lit up, Ellie was watching the hit TV series with Ashley after having dinner.

While all their attention was focused on the TV screen, Ellie and Ashley sat on the sofa together, with some potato chips placed on a nearby table.

They had quit their jobs and hadn't found any suitable shop to start their new business at present, so they planned to spend some time relaxing and having some fun for the meantime.

Upon seeing Greyson's message, Ellie averted her eyes from the TV towards her phone.

She began to indulge herself in the chat with Greyson via WeChat, even neglecting her favorite TV series.

After they talked for a while, Greyson suddenly asked Ellie whether Ashley was beside her at this moment, as he wanted to tell her a secret.

Instinctively, Ellie took a glance at Ashley who was gluing her gaze to the TV, after which she walked into her bedroom silently and replied to Greyson via WeChat, "She's not with me now. What do you want to say?"

All this time, Greyson had already known the reason why Ashley couldn't rent a shop from other people and why she wasn't telling him.

Now he had figured out a way to help Ashley and made some arrangements, but he couldn't explain to Ashley and Ellie how he came up with the whole thing. Thus he could only try to contact Ellie first and find a chance to carry out his plan.

Without knowing the reasons, Greyson himself couldn't even explain why he was so eager to help Ashley and Ellie.

He just felt that Ashley was an easy-going and friendly person. He couldn't help but get close to her and try to be on familiar terms with her. After all, Greyson thought that she deserved to be happy. Thus, Greyson with all his influence and resources was willing to help them in any way he could.

Otherwise, such a naughty person like Greyson would never do other people a favor, and he was known for messing things up instead of helping others.

At first, Greyson tried his best to praise Ellie to make her exuberant with joy. After that, he started to talk about the matter.

Greyson asked Ellie why they were unable to rent a shop and why Ashley didn't tell him about that.

Reading those questions on WeChat, Ellie could imagine that Greyson was anxious for answers. However, with a morose and innocent expression on her face, Ellie doubted whether to answer the questions or not.

After all, Ashley had once told her not to talk about this matter with others. Ashley deemed it wise to keep the matter confidential as she was afraid that others would get into trouble because of the matter.

With this in mind, Ellie didn't give any direct answer to Greyson's questions. Instead, she tried to change the topic.

Yet, Greyson kept on chatting with Ellie in a cute and interactive way and managed to please Ellie with some flattery remarks. He even sent some voice messages to her, making Ellie so euphoric.

In the end, Ellie couldn't help but tell Greyson about the matter and she also warned him not to let Ashley know that it was she who told him the whole thing.

Sensing that he would triumph in his plans, Greyson happily promised that he wouldn't let Ashley know.

In fact, he had already figured out this matter clearly before. He was just pretending not to know anything about it and asked Ellie about that just to pave the way for what he was going to do tomorrow.

With everything settled, Greyson told Ellie that he wanted to invite them to go out for fun tomorrow. Ellie, of course, accepted his invitation willingly.

The next morning, Ashley, who was still asleep, was drawn out of bed by Ellie.

Excitedly, Ellie told her that Greyson had planned something fun for them today.

Still drowsy and with her eyes half-opened, Ashley nodded in a calm way.

Looking at Ellie who seemed so enthusiastic, she got a little confused. "We will just go out and have fun with Greyson, but why are you so excited?" she asked.

Now that Ellie was totally attracted to Greyson and only thought about him day and night, she didn't pay attention to what Ashley had said and just went on her way to prepare for an exciting day.

With Ellie outside and busy choosing which dress to wear, Ashley still yawned, her eyelid still drooping a little.

Last night, her mind was occupied on thinking about the matter that Peggy asked her to find a man to get married. Furthermore, the threat that Peggy made against her bothered her even more. She also spent a long time considering who would be the lucky man she would choose to get married within a week. With all these weird thoughts running on her mind, she fell asleep very late. To her dismay, she was woken up by Ellie so early today, which made her a little glum.

She stared at Ellie who was just outside her room with a hint of annoyance on her face. "There is still an hour before the scheduled time. Why do we have to get up so early?" Ashley shouted at Ellie.

"It is better to get to meet him early than late, right?" Ellie responded teasingly.

Greyson was a native of J City and was very familiar with the city. However, even though Ashley and Ellie also grew up in J City, they only knew a few places within the city and were not that familiar with some of the beautiful places.

They both focused on their studies when they were students and were only busy with their work after graduation, so they didn't have any time to go out for fun.

This time, Greyson took Ashley and Ellie to a zoo.

The zoo was filled with many kinds of animals, and a variety of plant species too. Attractions and interactive spots could also be enjoyed in the zoo.

Since the three of them, especially Greyson who had a delicate baby face, were good-looking, they attracted a lot of people's attention wherever they went.

Looking at them as they enjoyed their stroll across the zoo, onlookers guessed that the two big sisters took their younger brother to the zoo for fun. Some might say they were really close.

They had no idea that in fact, it was Greyson who took Ashley and Ellie there to have fun.

They spent the whole morning there feeding and watching all of the animals including snakes, parrots, peafowl, camels and many more.

Of course, their feet ached after they walked so long inside the zoo. While having a good time in the zoo, they also took a lot of photos. They even laughed hard whenever they captured an awkward pose in the photo. Ellie even thought of funny captions she would tag when she would upload the pictures on social media.

After they enjoyed watching all of the animals at the zoo, they grabbed something to eat before leaving. After the meal, with a mysterious grin on his face, Greyson asked Ashley and Ellie to follow him to a place.
