Now Johnny's only wish was to drive the car to the company so that he could drop Andrew and Ashley off as soon as possible.
As Johnny parked the car at the company gate, Andrew carefully encircled Ashley with his arms and took her inside, without sparing a glance at Johnny.
Security for the Lu Group was always tight, be it day or night. But since Andrew was present, getting in wasn't a problem. The security guard was amazed to see Andrew and immediately drew himself up.
He was confused as to why Mr. Lu had come to the company this early, but it was none of his business anyway. So he just allowed him in.
Johnny followed Andrew through the gate. As Andrew's special assistant, Johnny enjoyed a high position in the company.
He had his own office and a lounge room which were quite luxurious.
There were only a few hours to go before work hours officially started, so it was impossible to go home. So Johnny decided to spend this time in the company.
"Hi, Mr. Cheng!" the guard called out. The guard obviously knew him and greeted him in a friendly manner.
Johnny nodded shortly to the guard and hurried after Andrew.
The guard was confused as he looked at Andrew's and Johnny's retreating figures. 'Why have they come so early?' he wondered.
Andrew took Ashley to the lounge in his office. There was a large white bed in this room and the decor was similar to that in his villa.
Andrew carefully lowered Ashley to the bed. As he looked at her peaceful sleeping face, Andrew's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
Andrew was exhausted and sleepy after a long day. He took a quick bath and lay down on the bed beside Ashley. He embraced her and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, Ashley woke to a body wrapped around her, almost squeezing the breath out of her.
Ashley slowly opened her eyes and was stunned to see Andrew's face inches from hers.
She remembered the events of the last day.
Ellie had asked her to go home with Andrew last night and then she had gone and eaten a ton of snacks in Andrew's car before getting drowsy because of all the food and falling asleep in the car.
How did she end up here?
Ashley tried to recollect everything that had happened last night, making sure that she had everything clear.
"Andrew? Andrew Lu?" Ashley nudged Andrew's head gently.
She realized that she was feeling suffocated because he had put his head on her chest.
Ashley called Andrew's name several times but was in vain. He was sound asleep. She knew she had to do something drastic. So she raised her voice and yelled, "Wake up, Andrew Lu!"
"Yes?" Andrew slowly opened his eyes. But unlike Ashley, his eyes were stern and clear. He had obviously just been pretending to be asleep just now.
He gently touched the side of Ashley's neck and said, "It is still early. Let's sleep for some more time."
Ashley felt uncomfortable at his touch and twisted away a little, trying to avoid him. But he only scooted closer and embraced her tightly.
Ashley arched a brow at Andrew's words.
Still early?
The sun was about to shine through the windows and it wasn't early by a long stretch.
"What is this place?" Ashley asked, looking around. Everything about this place was unfamiliar to her.
