Andrew wasn't home yet so Ashley just asked Claire to prepare a simple meal for her.
After dinner, she started working on her design draft on the table.
BYX Hotel
was a well-known five star hotel in J City. People who stayed in the hotel were either rich or powerful or
both.
At that moment, Andrew and Lesley were talking to each other at the BYX Hotel. But Andrew had
claimed that he was working.
It looked like they were having a great time talking to each other.
However, if one looked closely, only Lesley was doing all the talking. Andrew was just sitting across the
table in silence. In fact, he didn't even seem to care about what she was saying.
The truth was that Andrew had realized that he'd been tricked into coming here and he only found out
upon talking to Lesley.
There was a big project going on between the Lu Group and the Feng Group. The CEO of the Feng
Group who happened to be Lesley's father had set a meeting with Andrew at the BYX hotel to talk
about the project. However, when he arrived, only Lesley was there.
The Lu Group had been working with the Feng Group for a long time. Even though Andrew didn't want
to deal with Lesley, he couldn't just walk away and drop the project for no reason.
Lesley had on a green Chanel dress. It really showed off her ivory white skin. Her hair was pulled up to
a bun and she was wearing very light make-up.
She looked young, nice, and pretty.
Lesley was raised to be the next successor of the Feng Group. She carried herself with great pride and
dignity.
She really looked good with Andrew.
However, that didn't mean anything.
Lesley knew that Andrew was a neat freak. She used fresh chopsticks to put food on his plate.
"Andrew, this is so good. Try it."
Lesley could sense when she could start flirting with Andrew and when to stop. She knew her limits.
She managed herself so well that Andrew didn't feel too uncomfortable.
Andrew didn't touch the food that Lesley had put on his plate. It looked nice and tasty.
However, he didn't want to have dinner with anyone but Ashley.
"If Miss Feng won't have anything else, I'd like to be excused. I need to leave."
Andrew would rather be spending time with his wife than Lesley whom he didn't even like.
Andrew was thinking about Ashley the whole time.
As he thought of Ashley's cheeks that puffed up whenever she ate, his heart softened.
Andrew couldn't help but feel frustrated as he looked at Lesley who was the reason why he couldn't be
with his wife at that moment.
Since Lesley went to the Lu group all the time for business matters, Andrew knew who she was.
She was the only child of the Feng Family. And she was also the next successor of the Feng Group.
Andrew didn't really like her because of what she did to his best friend.
Lesley was really smart. She knew that the look Andrew had on his face wasn't for her.
She couldn't help but feel upset when she remembered that Andrew was married.
She really didn't know what he saw in Ashley. Ashley was just a normal girl who was adopted by a
middle class family. She was even dumped by her ex-boyfriend. Lesley didn't really know why Andrew
loved her so much.
Despite thinking such thoughts about Ashley, Lesley hid it all well. She was still smiling on the outside
and talking to Andrew in a gentle voice.
"Andrew, are you mad that my father wasn't able to make it? He really wanted to discuss this project
with you but he couldn't make it today. There was an emergency in the office that he had to take care
of. That's why he asked me to come instead,"
Lesley explained.
Frowning, Andrew replied, "It's okay.
Since Mr. Feng isn't going to make it, I guess we'll just have to reschedule. In the meantime, Miss
Feng, I need to go because I need to take care of something else."
Andrew was firm and polite because he really wanted to leave.
Lesley narrowed her eyes for a quick second. Soon, she was standing up and smiling nicely. "All right.
I'll walk you out."
Andrew didn't care what she was thinking. He prepared to stand up. Finally, he was going to get out of
there.
As Lesley strode forward, she suddenly slipped and fell into Andrew's direction.
"Ahhhh...." she yelped.
At that moment, Andrew was just preparing to stand up. He was still in his seat.
Lesley successfully fell into Andrew's arms. Her eyes gleamed as she savored that one second in
Andrew's arms. The following second, she hurried to stand up and apologized, "I'm sorry, Andrew. Are
you okay?"
When Lesley stood up, Andrew stepped out his seat and retreated at least three meters away from her.
Then he took off his jacket and threw it into the trash. Without uttering another word, he walked away.
Lesley froze. She clenched her hands as she watched him leave. Her nails were digging into her palms
but she didn't care.
After a while, Lesley calmed herself down. She told herself that Andrew would have done the same if it
was any other woman and he didn't really mean to hurt her feelings.
However, she couldn't get her mind off Ashley, the woman Andrew loved.
Last time they were at the villa, Ashley and Andrew were so intimate. It was unusual for Andrew to act
like that.
Lesley couldn't help but be jealous.
She really didn't know why the hell Andrew would be with someone like Ashley.
She thought it was unfair that Ashley and Andrew ended up together. She was the one who grew up
with Andrew, not Ashley. If anyone deserved to be Andrew's wife, it was her and not that stupid middle
class woman.
She beamed when she recalled how nice it was to be in Andrew's arms even if it was just for a second.
It wasn't normal for Lesley to do something like that.
She was the only child of the Feng family. She was going to inherit the Feng Group and she was the
most beautiful woman in all of J City. She didn't need to do something like that to get a man's attention.
Men lined up to kiss her feet. She could have any man she wanted.
However, Andrew wasn't one of those men and he was the only one she wanted, more than anything. If
her little stunt could get Ashley and Andrew to fight, then that would be more than enough to her. If not,
then she was contented with getting to feel his arms for just a second.
It was normal for men with money and power like Andrew to have affairs left and right and with
beautiful women. She thought maybe Ashley was in denial of that because if she learned that, she
probably wouldn't want to stay with Andrew any longer.
What Lesley didn't know was that Andrew would never do something like that to Ashley. He genuinely
loved and cared about her. He'd never have an affair.
Lesley was sure that her perfume was all over Andrew's shirt. Even though he threw his jacket away,
she was certain that at the very least her scent was on his pants.
Andrew was so frustrated when he left the hotel. He could still smell her scent all over him.
"Drive now. I'm in a hurry," Andrew said to his driver.
He just wanted to go home and take a shower so he could finally be with his wife,
Ashley.
