Lesley had always believed that Andrew was the only person good enough to be with her, because he
was both intelligent and powerful.
The two of them were busy doing their own work in silent company. The atmosphere was serene and
harmonious
until Andrew's cell phone broke the silence.
He frowned as he didn't like being interrupted in the middle of his work. He pursed his lips, looking very
displeased.
As soon as he saw the caller ID on the screen, his frown disappeared.
"Hello?" The lines on his brows smoothed out and his voice became warmer compared to when he
spoke to his staff at work.
"Hello. Andrew, have you had lunch?" Ashley was having lunch with Ellie in the bakery.
She had finally given in and decided to start accepting Andrew. Since they had already had sex, she no
longer found him unpleasant and decided to give the relationship a real shot.
When she sat down to eat, it suddenly occurred to her that Andrew had a stomach problem. She was
worried that he might forget to have lunch again and aggravate his condition. So she called to check on
him.
"Not yet," Andrew replied in a low voice and glanced at his watch. It showed that it was twelve at noon.
He was surprised that time had passed so fast. He rubbed his forehead tiredly.
"Then go eat now. Do you want to suffer stomachache like last time?"
she reprimanded him softly.
Ellie, who sat opposite Ashley, glanced at her silently and continued eating.
Andrew could picture Ashley's cat-like eyes widening and her cheeks puffing up like a hamster.
She was probably eating while talking to him as her words were a little garbled. He found her so cute.
His expression softened. He touched the ring Ashley put on his finger yesterday and felt warm inside.
"You aren't with me."
"What did you say?" Ashley was busy swallowing the food in her mouth down and thus didn't hear what
Andrew said.
Andrew repeated again softly.
He had a mellow and thick voice, and when he spoke softly like that, she melted into a puddle.
It felt like he was whispering in her ear. She couldn't help but blush instantly.
She didn't really understand the hidden meaning, but at the same time she sort of guessed what he
was trying to say.
She hesitated and stammered, "You'd better go to have lunch right now. I have to go."
She hung up quickly before he could say anything else.
Andrew looked at the cell phone after she hung up, imagining her all flushed and embarrassed. He
chuckled in a low voice.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught someone watching him.
Andrew turned serious again and looked at Lesley. "Why are you still here?" he asked expressionlessly.
He tended to ignore everything around him when he was absorbed in his work. And he had already
handed over the files to Lesley. He thought she had left. He didn't realize she had been sitting there the
whole time.
A moment ago, Lesley was thinking of asking Andrew to lunch. However, when his cell phone rang, she
swallowed her words.
To her surprise, she saw a distinctive change in his tone when he spoke on the phone. His expression
was so soft and tender and his voice wasn't as cold and distant as it was when he spoke to her. She
was dumbfounded.
His question added insult to injury. Her face froze when he rudely asked her why she was still there, as
though she wasn't welcome in his office. However, Lesley was from the Feng family. It took her only a
few seconds to regain composure. "I have been here the whole time.
Let's go to eat together. Anyway, it is time for lunch now," Lesley said as casually as she could.
She stood up gracefully, looking like a fairy in her snow-white dress.
Andrew ignored her. He picked up his cell phone and swiftly walked out of his office. He was quick, but
Lesley was sharp enough to catch a glimpse of something shining on his hand.
He was wearing something silver on his finger.
Her heart skipped a beat. What was that?
It was not possible! She immediately repressed the thought that popped into her head.
Andrew walked so fast that even if Lesley ran, she wouldn't be able to catch him up.
Watching him disappear out of sight, Lesley was left frustrated.
"Mr. Lu?" Johnny was stunned to see Andrew in the canteen. 'The CEO usually didn't have lunch, did
he?' And even on those rare occasions that he had lunch, he would have the food sent to his office.
Why had he come to the canteen himself?
"Get the person inside my office out," Andrew ordered Johnny with a frown when he saw him.
Johnny was baffled. He stared at the CEO and asked, "Who?"
Andrew watched Johnny woodenly.
Andrew's demeanor had always been icy. He hardly had any attachment towards his own father, let
alone other people, or even his childhood friends. So many years had passed and Andrew never
bothered to remember anyone's name.
So it was natural that he forgot Lesley's name. She, on the other hand, said his name with so much
affection.
If she found out that he didn't even remember her name, she would feel so humiliated.
Lesley reached home and threw her bag on the couch angrily.
"What happened, baby? Who has pissed you off?" Rae asked concernedly when she saw her
daughter.
"Mom, please tell me the truth. Did Andrew have any woman around him when I was away?" she
asked Rae with uncertainty.
Though she didn't catch a good enough look, her instinct told her that the silver thing on Andrew's
finger was a ring.
"Right. Didn't Susie tell you?" Rae looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Lesley's face twisted with contempt when she heard Susie's name.
If it wasn't for Andrew, she would have never considered being friends with Susie.
"Didn't you go to the Lu Group to discuss business with Andrew today? How come you're back so
early? What about Andrew? Did he send you back?" Rae quizzed her.
"He is busy. Mom, don't ask so many questions. I'm going to my room now," she fumed.
Lesley felt annoyed with Rae's intrusive questions. Apart from the time she spent with Andrew in his
office this morning, she didn't see him at all for the rest of the day.
