A Love Trap

Ashley stood up to get a better view outside the window, her big eyes shining brightly as she looked down into the street. Andrew was right behind her. His gaze was tender when it landed on Ashley.

"Do you like this street scene?" he broke the silence and asked in a low voice.

"Yes. To be honest, Ellie and I have been thinking about buying a big house near the sea, with big windows just like this one. Every morning we can open the windows to enjoy the beautiful view and the soft ocean wind.

I can just imagine how beautiful it would be when the sun rises there," she replied softly.

She didn't know why she was pouring her heart out here. Maybe she just felt comfortable around Andrew.

Andrew said nothing, but couldn't help but let out a wide smile.

Before his smile faded, Ashley had already turned around to look at him.

Andrew had never smiled like this since he was a child. As the heir of his family's business, he had to look stern and serious, and couldn't let his emotions betray him.

It was natural for him to act and look cold all the time.

But he looked actually so dashing when he smiled. When Ashley saw him smiling, warmth flooded through her body.

His eyes and his warm smile made her heart drop to her stomach.

She gently shook her head, trying to keep her cool. Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Andrew said.

Then the waiters came in with trays filled with food, filling the room with a delicious aroma.
