A Love Trap novel Chapter 102

The woman looked at Ashley, who was still stunned even in pajamas, a glimmer of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Well, are you Mrs. Lu? I'm the housekeeper of this family. My family name is Zhang."

'The housekeeper?' Ashley looked at the woman suspiciously. She gave her a slight smile and said, "Just one second, please. I need to make a call."

Ashley turned around and the smile on her face disappeared immediately. She picked up her phone and called Andrew.

At the Lu Group Office

In the meeting room, only the one on the platform was speaking into the otherwise silent air.

It wasn't long before the silence was broken by the shrill ringing of a phone.

Everything came to a dead halt; even the person who was giving a speech stopped talking and swallowed.

They exchanged confused looks with one another, wondering whose phone it was and worried about the consequences of the disruption.

They still remembered how furious the president had been when this had happened before. It had been a complete nightmare.

They had since taken utmost care to make sure their phones were turned off during meetings.

But obviously, someone had forgotten that unspoken rule.

While everyone was in fear of how the president would respond, Andrew looked around calmly before picking up his phone.

His employees were surprised to see a tender expression cross their boss's face when he saw who was calling.

The shock on their faces could be seen clearly. They wondered whether they were mistaken.

But they gave a sigh of relief at the same time. It was lucky that it was Andrew's phone. So they wouldn't take his anger.

"Are you missing me?"

Andrew asked softly, rendering not only Ashley, but also the other people in the meeting room speechless.

They had never heard their boss talk like that, and the way he was talking only fueled their curiosity as to who was calling him.

It was almost impossible that their boss could talk in such a gentle tone.

What was more, what he had said was full of love.

Johnny watched the people's surprised reactions and laughed inwardly. He looked around at them calmly, not knowing what all the fuss was about.

He would have burst into laughter at their expressions if they hadn't been at such an important meeting.

He thought, 'If you are already surprised by what you see now, you will be overwhelmed with shock in the future.'

On the other hand, Ashley hadn't expected Andrew to say that the moment he answered the call.

Her face darkened, not wanting to be rendered speechless.

So she got down to business and asked him, "Someone came. She said she's the housekeeper hired by you. Is that true?"

Andrew was not surprised. "Yes," he said.

Ashley hung up.

She thought, 'God knows what he'd have said if I hadn't ended the call.'

Andrew smiled bitterly as the busy tone rang in his ears.

He knew that he had angered Ashley somehow.

His heart swelled as he recollected the image of Ashley staring at him with her wide, glittering eyes.

This shocked the people in the room again. If they were not mistaken, the caller had ended the call first.
