A Love Trap novel Chapter 108

The joy was evident in Lena's eyes. 'Now that Ashley is married, Raymond is mine. Ashley, you are no match for me. You're doomed to be a loser and will always be inferior to me, ' she snickered from within.

"Raymond, what happened to your hand?" Lena asked as she gaped at his hand.

There were several stains of dried blood on his hand that Raymond had clenched into a fist.

He had headed straight to the Mu family's house after meeting Ashley. Preoccupied with his ex-girlfriend's marriage on the way, he had paid no attention to his injured hand.

Raymond followed her gaze to the wound on his hand. Since Ashley had refused to divorce her husband, he had been so furious that he hadn't even felt the pain. But as Lena brought it up, he felt a stab of pain in his hand.

"Don't worry. It's not a big deal," he replied.

"You should be more careful," Lena said with a frown. There was a trace of reproach in her voice.

She turned to a maid and instructed, "Kathy, go get the first aid box."

"Please let me take care of your wound, Raymond," Lena said, a pleading note to her voice.

Raymond nodded.

A few minutes later, Kathy came back with the first aid box. She walked up to Lena and politely said, "Miss Mu, here it is."

Lena grabbed Raymond's arm and pulled him so that both of them were seated on the couch. She carefully took his injured hand and started cleaning the wound.

As Lena lowered her head, a wisp of smooth hair fell over her face, blocking her sight. She tucked the hair behind her ear and continued to clean the wound. Raymond sat quietly, observing her. She had a pair of big eyes and rosy lips on her small, fair face.

Lena was pretty, but Ashley was stunning. That was one of the reasons why Lena detested Ashley so much.

As Raymond stared at Lena, the anger and displeasure in his eyes faded slightly. For him, having sex with Lena had been a pure accident. Since then, he had spent more time with her and discovered that Lena and Ashley were of completely different dispositions.

Ashley was an independent, strong, and steady girl, while Lena was clingy, gentle and considerate.

Raymond preferred the latter type of girls like Lena. But since he and Ashley had been together for three years, he found it difficult to get over her.

Feeling his gaze on her, Lena stole a glance at him and noticed the way he was looking at her. She continued to treat his wound, as her lips curved into a satisfied smile that he couldn't see.

Over at the Lu Group, Johnny discovered that his boss was acting strange. Andrew grabbed his cell phone to check the time, furrowed his brows, and dropped it on the table. Several minutes later, he picked up his cell phone again and fixed his gaze on the screen. He had repeated this action many times, but it looked like he would never get sick of it.

Johnny looked uneasily at Andrew, not knowing what was going on with his boss.

"I need to know what she has been doing. And who she has met lately," Andrew demanded abruptly.

It didn't take long for Johnny to realize who his boss was referring to.

Andrew had learnt about Ashley's background, but he hadn't hired a detective to keep a close eye on her to stay up-to-date with her daily life, because he feared that Ashley would be mad at him if she found out what he had done.

He didn't think Ashley would like being followed.

But he had now changed his mind. He wanted to know everything about Ashley's private life.

"Yes, boss," Johnny replied, and then added, "You have an appointment with Mr. Liu, the president of the Ace Group. He wanted to discuss a project with you. So..." "Call it off," Andrew said sternly before Johnny could even finish his sentence.
