A Love Trap

The situation was very clear. Clyde had already made his decision. To his surprise, however, Lena actually refused him. He started to wonder why she had become so slow with this.

Lena still held onto the ring and refused to give it to Ashley. However, she loosened her grip on it after Cora sighed and whispered something in her ear. Lena's eyes widened at what Cora told her, and then she looked at Andrew with unconcealed shock. She could feel her face getting hotter, and her breath was becoming more and more labored.

It was obvious that she was having a hard time in believing that Andrew was a man with a great influence on all the rich people she knew. It never occurred to her that Andrew would be a man who her parents and her parents-in-law only dreamt of having a chance to talk to.

The shock lasted for just a while, though. Soon, her jealousy swallowed her up once again. Her eyes started getting red with evil. Slowly, she glanced at Ashley, who was being protected by Andrew.

She couldn't accept the fact that an orphan who had nothing would end up with such an amazing man. To her, Ashley was nothing. A nobody. To her, Ashley didn't deserve a man like Andrew. A man like him should be hers. And with that, Lena decided to do everything in her power to seduce Andrew.

Because of that, she quickly put her evil thoughts and expression away. After that, she took a deep breath and put on her best, cutest, beautiful and innocent smile on her face. Shyly, she walked towards Ashley and tried to hold her hand. However, Johnny was having none of it and stopped her.

Towering over Lena, he said, "Miss, I'm sorry but you can't get closer. My boss likes to keep a distance with others. You can say whatever you need to say right here."

That made Lena almost lose her temper, but she managed to hold herself together. However, she couldn't let go of what happened. She just glanced at Johnny with mockery in her eyes. She thought there was no point for her to be angry with an assistant that could be replaced easily.

In her head, she truly believed that she would be the wife of the Lu Group's CEO, and then, the assistant in front of her would pay for what he had done. 'I would fire you immediately, and you would regret the day you met me, ' she thought, smirking.

It was a good thing for Lena that Johnny didn't know what was going on in her mind. If he did, he would definitely burst out laughing. Everything that she was thinking was moronic.

And even a moron wouldn't have the guts to think of such things!

Lena would be considered a joke if she ever verbalized what she was thinking.

Johnny, for one, knew for sure that Lena would never have the slightest chance of being Andrew's wife, and everything she was planning in her head would not happen.

Even Andrew's father didn't even have the power to fire Johnny; there was no way that someone like Lena would be able to do so.

"Ash, I think I was mistaken. This is not the ring that Raymond gave me. I am sorry!" Lena looked at Ashley apologetically. Her face turned slightly red to show how sorry she really was. Seeing her like this, people could hardly blame her for anything.
