A Love Trap

Johnny felt miserable as he seemed to be always snowed under with work every day. His job was indeed a great torment for him.

"Mr. Lu, you have finally answered the phone. Where are you now? Have you forgotten that you are going to have an important meeting in the company today? The senior leaders of the company are all here waiting for you. When can you get to the company?"

The moment he got through to Andrew, Johnny bombarded him with several questions.

"Delay the meeting for half an hour. I will be there soon." After Andrew told him what to do, he immediately hung up the phone before Johnny had the chance to reply.

He then calmly put his phone down and continued to drive, staring straight ahead as if nothing had happened at all.

Ashley pursed her lips slightly and then asked hesitantly, "Do you have something urgent to deal with? It's okay. You go ahead and do what you have to do. I can get out here and take a taxi home."

Johnny had spoken so loudly on the phone to Andrew just now, that Ashley couldn't help but overhear their conversation.

Ashley felt a little guilty. After all, he was delayed getting back to the company because of her.

"Don't worry about it. We'll be at your house very soon, anyway," Andrew replied calmly glancing at her.

But Ashley still felt uneasy and said, "But, I heard him speak in an urgent tone. It sounds like there is something important waiting for you to deal with."

"Nothing else is more important than you,"

Andrew replied in a pleasant carefree voice. Even though he said those words in a casual way, for some reason, Ashley's heart fluttered upon hearing them.

And his words lingered on, in her mind.

"Nothing else is more important than you."

'Really? There is nothing more important than me?'

She didn't know why, but she was moved by his words and felt warm inside.

However, she felt slightly morose when she remembered what Susie had said, which was that she couldn't compare to Lesley and only Lesley could ever be her sister-in-law.

Even though Ashley had only met Andrew twice, she found herself wondering if Andrew might already have a fiancee.
