A Love Trap novel Chapter 88

When Ashley came out of the shop, she hailed a taxi. Once home, she began changing clothes.

She didn't regret asking Andrew to marry her, even though she sprung it on him in the spur of the moment.

She changed clothes many times. She wanted the perfect outfit, and the perfect face. She dabbed skin-toned makeup on her face, but had a heavier hand around her tired eyes.

When Ashley was almost ready, her cell phone rang.

"Hello. OK. I am coming."

Her mind wandered when she stepped into the elevator.

'Will he like this style of me?'

Then she patted her face. Why did she care what he thought?

That man's charm was like that of the glorious mountains. He was attractive and heads turned involuntarily to look at him.

It didn't matter why she was marrying him.

Looking out the glass-paneled elevator, Ashley spotted Andrew's car, a Rolls-Royce. It was parked in the distance and the sparkling hood glistened, causing Andrew to look more radiant than ever. He leaned against the car and looked at his cell phone.

Ashley's heart beat quickly, stunned by his charm. She saw him many times before, but this time he was even more dazzling.

He seemed so charismatic and fascinating.

Andrew turned his head, put his phone in his pocket, and strode toward her. "Here you are."

Ashley nodded.

Andrew tugged at her hand and guided her to the car. "After you," he whispered, holding his hand out so she could climb in. He followed. Johnny was waiting in the front.

When Johnny saw Ashley, he put on a big smile and introduced himself. "Miss Mu, nice to meet you. I am Johnny Cheng, Mr. Lu's special assistant. We met before. Do you remember me?"

Ashley returned a smile and said, "Yes, I do. Mr. Cheng. Nice to see you again."

While Ashley got situated, she thought it was fortunate there was the third person so she wouldn't feel awkward to be with Andrew alone. Johnny started telling her how stunning she looked.

"Miss Mu, you are more and more beautiful than I remember."

Johnny thought of her as the president's future wife. His boss really liked her a lot. Johnny wanted to flatter her so she would protect him if he made mistakes in the future.

He continued saying something to make her happy, until he saw his boss's stern face in the rear-view mirror.

Ashley was flattered, but did not understand why someone she had met, perhaps once before, was behaving like this before her. She just knew his name today.

To be polite, she answered, "Thanks, Mr. Cheng," with each rendition of how beautiful she was looking today.

Johnny continued expressing his compliments to the bride-to-be. He had been working in the commercial field for many years and was more communicative than Andrew.
