A Love Trap novel Chapter 194

Johnny's heart jolted when he heard her words. He instantly knew it was about his CEO.

"Sure," he replied.

Lesley was feeling uneasy. She watched Johnny closely. "Andrew said he was married. Is that true?" she asked.

'Of course it is true. I witnessed it with my own eyes.'

However, he couldn't say that to Lesley.

He didn't falter and answered, "We know nothing about the CEO's personal business. You can ask him yourself, Miss Feng."

"Really? You are Andrew's personal assistant. How could you not know about this?" Lesley said.

"I'm sorry, Miss Feng. But the private business of the CEO isn't something we know."

Lesley knew Andrew. If he didn't want others to know, then nobody could know.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, thank you anyway, Johnny."

After he left, Lesley felt glum. A few scenes flashed through her brain, the ring on his finger, his gentle smile when they had boarded the plane and his proclamation "I'm married."

She was getting agitated. Andrew was married? How could that be possible?

She picked up her cell phone and made a call back home.

"Hello? Mom? Is Dad at home?" Lesley stood by the French window and gazed at the scenery outside. She held the cell phone to her ear with one hand while clenching her other hand in anticipation. She wanted to know the truth but at the same time she was nervous about what she would find out.

"Please let me talk to Dad," Lesley said.

Rae pouted. Every time Lesley called, she was to talk to her father; she never missed her.

After a moment, a mellow baritone voice came through the line.

"Hello, Lesley. How are you doing? Are you okay? Should I send somebody to bring you back home?" he asked affectionately.

Aaron adored his daughter and always gave her whatever she wanted. Basically he never failed to fulfill her wish.

Lesley pressed her lips and said, "No, I'm good here."

Aaron chuckled softly. "You feel good whenever Andrew is by your side," he teased.

Lesley was a little embarrassed when her dad called out her feelings so directly. She blushed.

"Dad! I have a serious question to ask you. Stop making fun of me," she said in mock anger.

"Okay, okay. I won't make fun of my baby girl. What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything I know."

Lesley took a while to word her question appropriately. "Dad, have you ever seen any woman around him?" she asked.

Aaron replied, "No. You know Andrew's personality. What's going on? What has happened?"

Lesley paused a short while and then told her father, "He said he was married. And he is wearing a ring. So, I'm afraid…"

Aaron knew how his daughter felt about Andrew. He knew she had a crush on Andrew since she was a kid. And when she grew up, she gave up her career and chose the same profession as Andrew's. She did all this because of him. She hoped she could help him with his career in the future.

"It's not possible," Aaron said affirmatively.
