A Love Trap

Chapter 50 Thank You For Earlier

It is said that seriousness adds charm to a man. While Andrew was checking the menu, Ashley allowed herself to stare at him. It was hard for her to take her eyes off him.

Andrew read the menu with his eyes downcast. His long lashes cast shadows over his eyes, effectively covering any emotions he might have had.

Normally, as a frequent visitor at this restaurant, Andrew did not need to check the menu. The manager would reserve the room and his assistant would arrange all for him.

He knew Andrew's taste for food.

But today it was different. He wanted to make sure that the food met Ashley's taste. Fortunately, there was information on her profile regarding her food preferences. She had a very different taste from him.

While Andrew like bland and light food, Ashley preferred those heavy with spices and had a kick of heat.

When he had picked up the menu, he pretty much already knew what he was going to order.

Soon he met Ashley's eyes staring at him seriously, which made him both excited and nervous.

Andrew's fingers twitched unconsciously. Discreetly, he raised his menu slowly to hide his face.

'Why is she staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?' he thought.

All of a sudden, his confidence faltered. He did not think that it was his charm that attracted her.

After a while, the waitress finally broke the silence. "Excuse me, Madame, Sir. Are you ready to order?" she asked, looking at them intently. Her voice pierced through the awkward atmosphere

which seemed to stretch on forever.
