Lena had a quick look at Andrew and found that there was coldness in his eyes as he gazed at Ashley.
She was feeling smug inside and thought, 'Men hate those who frame others and then pretend to be
nice. Ashley, you are stupid enough to do that.
You thought that you have found true love? All that you have now will belong to me in the end.'
Lena was so confident in herself that she thought every reaction that Andrew made was because her
plan was working. Whereas, in reality, Andrew was angry at Ashley because she let go of his hand.
She walked to the side of the woman that she hated the most.
But of course, Andrew wouldn't really be mad at Ashley, and he would never hurt her. So Lena was
going to take the blame.
Lena's expression was appropriate, a little surprised, and a little uneasy. She said with tearful eyes,
"Thank you for your concern, Ashley. I'm much better."
She secretly felt relieved. Fortunately, she had the habit of taking care of her image all the time.
Otherwise, if Andrew saw her in a mess on the bed, she would regret it so much.
"Oh, that's good to hear," Ashley said, nodding.
As Ashley's eyes swept over Lena's face and saw that her eyes were fixed on Andrew, she was even
more peeved inside. But thinking about the reason for coming here today, she was a little expectant.
She wanted to see what Lena would tell Andrew about her.
Also, she wanted to see how Andrew would respond to what she told him.
Picturing it in her brain, she got excited.
'Hey, stop it. Come back to reality, ' she told herself.
She snapped out of her reverie and scolded herself for being overconfident.
Ashley fixed her eyes on Lena and said, "Didn't you say you had something to tell my husband? He's
here now. So tell him."
This time Lena failed to conceal her emotions, and she looked at Ashley in surprise.
'Did I say that? Why don't I remember?'
But she lowered her eyes and was feeling happy secretly. Of course, she was dying to have a chance
to be with Andrew alone. She had to fool Andrew.
Though she didn't know the reasons why Ashley did that, she thought this was a rare and God-given
opportunity.
The word "husband" coming from Ashley's mouth sounded irritating to her ears.
However, soon, it would all be over. Ashley would be a nobody.
Lena had a quick look at Andrew and then drew back her glance. She turned to Ashley with a puzzled
expression, and her tone sounded surprised. "Ashley, what are you talking about?"
She had to suppress the joy that she felt inside and put on a convincing surprised expression. Lena
had to look as though she didn't understand what Ashley was talking about at all.
Ashley was surprised too. She tilted her head, then turned to look at Andrew, and asked with
puzzlement, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to see my husband and tell him something? Did
I hear it wrong? Then..."
Before she could finish her words, she was anxiously interrupted by Lena. "Ashley, I suddenly
remember. I did say that yesterday. My poor memory! I forgot about it for a moment. You won't blame
me, will you?"
Ashley was secretly amused. 'Such an excellent opportunity, how could Lena possibly pass it up?' "Oh,
sure, it's okay."
Lena looked at Ashley and said, "Then..."
How could Ashley not know what was in Lena's heart? All that she wanted to do was ask Ashley to
leave her and Andrew alone.
So she could badmouth her to Andrew.
Ashley appeared to be very understanding and said, "Okay, I'll leave you two alone then. You two have
a good chat."
It seemed as though she didn't worry about Andrew at all.
Lena snorted inside. The only feelings she had for Ashley was that of contempt.
She thought to herself cynically, 'Ashley is incurably as stupid as she was before. She has already lost
her man once, and she is still acting the same way.'
If Ashley knew what Lena was thinking, she would probably just say, "If a man truly loves you, no
matter how hard the other woman tries to seduce him, he won't have any reaction.
Or vice versa, if a man leaves you, then it surely never was true love. And you should break up with
such a man as soon as possible."
Sometimes, Ashley felt grateful to Lena. If she hadn't stolen her boyfriend away from her, then she
wouldn't have ended up with Andrew.
Now Andrew seemed to be giving out nothing but cold air. He looked at Ashley with his face set, and he
remained silent.
When Ashley was leaving, he almost wanted to follow her.
Ashley turned back and held his hand, not bothering to see if Lena was watching. She leaned over to
Andrew and whispered something in his ear. Andrew, who always had a poker face, suddenly changed
his expression after hearing her words.
He was left blushing to the roots.
Ashley's expression wasn't much better than his either. After she finished saying her sweet little
nothings to him, she left immediately.
Lena clenched her hands under the quilt when she saw them leaning so close to each other,
whispering. Her eyes were burning with jealousy while she watched them.
'Enjoy it while it lasts, Ashley! Because soon, this intimacy won't exist anymore. I'll be the one who will
be intimate with him.'
Lena had never seen that kind of expression from Andrew before. She didn't know that he had this side
to him.
But this side was only reserved for Ashley.
After Ashley left the room, she felt her face still burning. She fanned herself with her hand. 'How could it
be so hot in there?'
Raymond saw her coming out and frowned. He wanted to go and ask her what happened. Although
Johnny was much faster than him.
Johnny went over to Ashley. He was surprised to see that she was alone, and there was no sign of the
CEO. "Where is Mr. Lu, Miss Mu?"
'I saw them enter the room together, and now she has come out alone.
Where's the CEO then?'
Ashley glanced at Johnny and noticed the confused look on his face. She said casually, "Oh, Andrew,
he's in the room talking to Lena."
She spoke in a way as if she was talking about the weather today and showed no sign of worry at all.
Johnny's heart lurched.
'Inside the room? Talking with Lena?'
He searched her face for some clue. But he couldn't find anything in her expression, nor could he
guess what Ashley was thinking about.
Lena desired the CEO. That was obvious even to him, who was an outsider. He couldn't believe that
Miss Mu couldn't see it. However, she left the CEO alone with Lena inside without a tinge of worry.
Didn't she suspect something would happen at all?
Though Johnny had confidence in the CEO, he wasn't so sure about what Lena was up to. He thought
Miss Mu was too carefree about the issue. Or was it because she had no feelings for the CEO at all?
His worried expression probably revealed his thoughts when he stared at Ashley. She asked him,
"What's wrong?"
Johnny had the desire to ask her, 'Miss Mu, what on earth do you feel for the CEO?'
