Within the Mu family, Ron was probably the only one who was really good to her.
Ron sighed and hugged Lena. "Okay, since you realize that what you have done was wrong, just don't
do the same kind of things again. Okay?"
"Okay," replied Lena.
As soon as Ron left, Lena took out her cell phone. After pondering for a while, she navigated to
Ashley's number and sent her a message.
After she hit the send button, she heaved a long sigh. Something else was weighing heavily on her
mind.
Ashley was surprised when she saw an incoming message from Lena. Given the circumstances, that
was next to impossible.
She clicked it open and read it.
"Ashley, for what I have done to you in the past, I am really sorry and I want to ask for your forgiveness.
I hope you can forget all those bad things I did, though I know it is hard to forgive someone like me.
Anyone in your place would find it difficult to forgive the person who puts them through the kind of pain
I have caused you. But from now on, I have made up my mind to do at least one thing that would be
best for you. I'm leaving this country tomorrow and I promise, never to bother you anymore.
And finally, I want to thank you for not holding me responsible. I wish you all the happiness."
She read the message in one breath and was left dumbfounded.
She checked the sender again to make sure that the message was from Lena. She couldn't believe
that Lena could send her such a message.
'Lena... She would say something like that?
Has she finally come to her senses? Is she a changed person now?'
Ashley didn't think further, what was going on with Lena and put the cell phone away.
It was on Ron's account that she decided to let her get away with it.
Not that Ron had intervened or said anything to do with forgiving Lena. But of course, Ashley could see
his reasons for coming to see her.
After all Lena was his sister.
Meanwhile, when Johnny found out that Lena was leaving the country, he informed Andrew about it.
Frowning, Andrew asked, "Going abroad? Does she think that it would be okay as long as she goes
abroad? No, we can't let Lena get away with it like that."
"Right," said Johnny.
Miss Mu was the apple of the CEO's eye. How could Lena expect nothing happen to her after all she
that she had done?
As Johnny came out of Andrew's study, Ashley called him aside. "Johnny, what did Andrew say to you?
You didn't tell him about last night, did you?"
Johnny said, "Miss Mu, you can be assured that I told Mr. Lu nothing about last night. But Lena has
decided to go abroad. Mr. Lu seems to be angry about it."
"Okay, I got it," said Ashley.
"Do you need anything else from me, Miss Mu?" asked Johnny.
"No, thank you. You go ahead with your job," said Ashley.
"Okay," said Johnny.
After Johnny left, Ashley patted her chest as if to encourage herself.
Outside the study, she wondered if she would go in.
Last night she wanted to tell him the truth, but then later something happened. So she didn't get the
chance to tell him.
But she had already agreed with Ron to let Lena go abroad.
'Anyway, I have the say on this matter, don't I?'
An idea came to her. She knocked at the door of the study.
"Come in."
The reply from inside was quick.
Ashley pushed the door open and stepped into the room.
At his desk, Andrew's eyes were fixed on the laptop, his fingers moving swiftly on the keyboard. He
didn't even notice that she came in.
As the CEO of the Lu Group and the head of the Lu family, he was quite a busy man.
Hearing no sound from the person who came in, Andrew frowned. He was about to say something,
when he raised his head and saw Ashley had already moved closer and stood by his side.
The motions of his fingers on the keyboard slowed down, his face instantly turning gentle and soft.
"What is it?"
"I have something to talk to you about. But it's not urgent. You can finish your work first,"
Ashley said hastily.
"Okay."
So Andrew turned back to the computer. True, what he was doing was very important.
Ashley went to sit on the couch quietly and put her cell phone on silent mode. Patiently waiting, she
sat, playing with her phone in silence, so as not to disturb him.
Once he knew she'd be there waiting on the couch, Andrew turned back to his work, his fingers moving
even faster on the keyboard.
He didn't want to keep her waiting for too long.
The new game that Ashley was playing seemed interesting, but she had something that was distracting
her, so she didn't concentrate on the game much.
After losing in several games, she started to get annoyed.
So she quit playing and started to check her favorite micro blogs.
As usual, designing was top on her search mission.
The two of them were in perfect harmony.
Meanwhile, Andrew was still typing like a maniac, lost in his work.
As soon as he finished his work and he turned to see Ashley who was still sitting on the couch.
Just seeing her alone was enough to turn him into a cheerful mood.
In the interval of browsing the blogs, Ashley looked at the time and turned up her head to check on him.
Half an hour had passed, she guessed that he had finished his work.
When she looked up, their eyes met.
For a moment, they silently watched each other, savoring the beauty of the moment and nothing else.
After what appeared like an eternity, it was Ashley who snapped herself out of the reverie and broke
the silence. "Have you finished your work?"
"Yes," replied Andrew.
Ashley put away her cell phone and went over to his side. "I want to talk with you about Lena."
"About Lena's going abroad?"
"Right."
"Don't worry. I won't let anyone who hurt you, get away with it. It's too late for her to think about going
abroad. As we speak, I've instructed Johnny to handle the matter. She won't be able to go abroad as
easily as she thinks."
It was the first time Ashley had heard Andrew say something so long.
With a complicated expression, she stared at him, wondering why he adored her so much.
Yesterday she had received a big blow. Even today, it took her a long time to calm herself enough so as
to talk with him about this matter.
However, his words stirred her emotions again.
Reading her eyes, Andrew noticed there was something unusual. "What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing." Ashley drew back her attention and shook her head.
"Well, about Lena's going abroad, I've known about that. In fact, it's...it's my idea that she should go
abroad. I mean, can we just forget the whole matter? That to me, is it a good idea. Is that okay with
you?' She looked at him keenly after, her words lingering in the air for a while, as they started at each
other in silence.
