A Love Trap

Chapter 33 Call Him By His First Name

Andrew blinked, and turned his attention back to the seat belt, helping Ashley buckle up nonetheless. After that, he slumped back into his seat.

Ashley heaved a breath of relief.

Andrew fastened his own seat belt. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked intently at Ashley. "Are you okay?" he asked deliberately, noticing that her cheeks were completely flushed pink.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied faintly, her voice slightly quivering.

"But why are you blushing so much?" Andrew pressed.

Ashley was speechless. 'What's going on? I thought he was an aloof, bossy, difficult man of a few words, ' she thought, baffled.

"It's not a big deal," Ashley said with a nervous laugh. "Perhaps it's just the heat. I think it's better to let some air in," she added as she rolled down the window.

Andrew started the car and drove away. With a pensive look, Ashley stared out the car window, allowing the cool breeze to gently caress her rosy cheeks. Soon enough, the blush on her face faded slowly.

She could imagine how worried Ellie was right now since she didn't go home last night.

Besides, she didn't know how to explain to Ellie for her sleeping over without telling her.

She didn't think it was a good idea to tell the truth to her best friend. If she told her that she had been set up by Lena, got tipsy and slept over at a man's house, her bestie might never let her leave the house alone.

But she felt lucky that she had met a gentleman like Andrew. She couldn't imagine the consequences if she had met someone with bad intentions the previous night.

Ashley didn't remember what had happened to her after she ran into Andrew last night. She had no idea that he had seen her naked since he had helped her change her clothes.

Perhaps Ashley wouldn't think so highly of Andrew if she found out what he had done to her.

Although Andrew was driving, he stole Ashley glances every now and then.

Noticing that Ashley was looking a bit troubled, he assumed that it was because of his sister's rude behavior towards her earlier that day.

He pressed his lips and looked at her at the corner of his eyes. "Are... Are you still angry?" Andrew asked hesitantly.
