A Love Trap novel Chapter 89

But Ashley stood frozen as soon as she saw the picture.

In the photo, she was leaning over Andrew's shoulder with a shining smile and a subtle hint of shyness.

Ashley felt embarrassed and was rendered speechless when she saw the expression on her face in the photo. She couldn't believe that it was her in the picture.

Andrew, however, was very satisfied with the way the photo of them had turned out. His expression could not hide how elated he felt at this moment.

…

Finally, they emerged from the government office with two marriage certificates, one in each of their hands.

Ashley walked out in a daze holding the certificate in her hand, she was still trying to process the whole marriage thing. It all happened so fast and she hadn't had time to absorb it all.

'So that's it? Did I just marry this man who is standing next to me right now?'

she thought as she gazed at Andrew.

'Look at this man, 1.87 meters tall, handsome and perfect in every way as if he is blessed by the gods themselves, and look at those brooding eyes, so deep and full of mystery. It seems like every one would get lost by just looking into them.

How can a woman not be attracted to this impeccably groomed man, in that tailored black suit which accentuates his strong masculine body. His whole demeanor is suave, sophisticated and gentlemanly with a hint of mystery, ' thought Ashley as she admired her newlywed husband.

The thought of all that, helped Ashley easily accept the fact that she was now married to Andrew.

While Ashley was lost in her own thoughts, Andrew took the marriage certificate from her hand.

Ashley snapped out of her daydream and looked up at Andrew with confusion written on her pretty face.

Andrew gave her a dry smile and put the certificates in his pocket and said, "I'll look after that for you."

Ashley was going to nod her head to agree, however, she had thought of something and changed her mind. "Could you please let me have it for a while, because..."

Andrew's brows furrowed while he listened to her and he began to feel more and more doubtful about her intentions.

However, despite his frown, Ashley still continued, "Because I need that certificate for something and I promise that I will bring it back to you once I'm done."

Andrew didn't answer her, instead he stayed silent and stared at her trying to figure out whether she was telling him the truth or had some other ulterior motive behind it.

Ashley felt intimidated by his scrutinizing gaze and her heart skipped a beat.

But she was still determined to get that marriage certificate from him, so that she could take back her jade pendant.

Ashley took a step closer to Andrew and pulled gently on his sleeves. She looked directly into his eyes with innocence written all over her face and asked in a soft voice, "Andrew please, just let me have it for today. I will give it back to you tomorrow, I promise. Is that okay?"

Ashley wasn't even aware of how charming she appeared at that moment.

This was the first time for Andrew to see such an attractive side to Ashley. His heart melted when he saw her beautiful innocent face staring up at him with so much sincerity in her eyes. He felt himself surrender and agreed to her request. He reached into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out one of the certificates and handed it to her.

Johnny, who was waiting by the car, could clearly see the happiness on his boss's face. He watched curiously at the obvious gentleness and affection that Andrew showed Ashley. The sometimes cruel and very demanding man that Johnny was used to seeing in the company was nowhere to be found at this moment.

If any of the senior office managers could see Andrew now, they could be knocked down by a feather.

They would never believe that before them was the very same Andrew as the one they knew and were fearful of. They had only ever known Andrew as a cold and cruel man.

"You can leave now!"

Andrew said as he approached the car.

Johnny looked at him with confusion. 'What does he mean by that?' he wondered.

However, it suddenly became very clear to him when he saw Andrew's intense glare with his hand held out. Johnny handed him the car keys.

'It's obvious that he wants to get rid of me so he can enjoy time alone with Ashley, '

Johnny murmured in his mind.
