A few days ago, Ashley and Andrew were in a cold war. Thankfully, after a couple of days, they soon
made amends and reconciled with one another. This made their relationship stronger than before.
After the car left, a man hidden behind a tree walked out and saw them leave.
He looked completely exhausted, with dark circles around his slightly bloodshot eyes. He seemed a bit
disheveled, completely different from the sunny and cheerful man that he once was.
Raymond clenched his hands as he saw the car driving further and further away.
He knew that Lena had gone abroad. At first, he thought Ashley would take Lena to court since Lena
caused her so many trouble.
Knowing this, he waited for the news at home.
Raymond thought that he had been wrong for the longest time. He couldn't help Lena anymore.
These were Lena's faults. She was the one who hurt Ashley.
Raymond expected to hear the news that Ashley took her to court. Instead, he heard that Lena had
gone abroad.
'What happened?
Why did Lena go abroad?
Did Ashley forgive Lena?'
Raymond couldn't contact Ashley. That was why he decided to wait for her here.
As Ashley trotted over him, Raymond couldn't help but let out a happy grin.
He thought that Ashley might have seen him. He didn't expect that Ashley actually ran into that car.
The car belonged to the Lu Group, and Ashley worked here. Raymond could guess who picked up
Ashley.
And he was doing his best to remain skeptical about his assumptions. He still hoped that Ashley
wouldn't fall in love with Andrew so quickly.
However, Raymond didn't think about the thing between Lena and him. Why did Ashley have to wait for
him?
'Why did Ashley come here to get in Andrew's car? It seemed that she was trying to hide something.
Didn't they let others know about their relationship?
It seemed that they haven't been in love with each other deeply, '
thinking of this, Raymond couldn't help but feel relieved.
Meanwhile, Andrew thought of what happened in the company. He couldn't help but be a bit annoyed.
He looked at Ashley who was behaving well and asked, "What is going on in the company today?"
Ashley felt helpless. 'It was just a trivial matter and has been resolved.
There was nothing wrong with it now, ' thought Ashley.
But Andrew didn't think so. In his eyes, everything about Ashley should be taken seriously.
Ashley licked her lips, glanced at Andrew and finally decided to tell him the truth. "What happened
earlier was nothing serious. Sylvia noticed the drawing that I left in the office yesterday. So, she took it
secretly. You know what happened after. She said that it was her design."
Ashley tried her best to dismiss what happened as a trivial thing.
But after hearing what Ashley said, Andrew couldn't help but curl his brow.
'I didn't expect that there would be such a despicable person in the company. She had the audacity to
steal my wife's design.
It seems that I need to deal with some people in the company, ' thought Andrew.
He said gently, "How can you leave such an important item in the office?"
Ashley replied, "The competition was held today. So, I took my design to the office yesterday, lest I
forget it when I went to work today."
"Be cautious in the future. Or you can lock the important items in the drawer," Andrew replied.
"Okay, I'll be more careful next time," Ashley responded with a little smile on her face.
Andrew had put her items in the office before and nothing was lost. She didn't expect that it would
happen today.
Even if Andrew didn't remind her, Ashley became more cautious. She even began placing a lock on her
drawer. After all, precaution is always a good choice.
No one knew if there would be such a problem again.
Ashley looked at Andrew and asked, "Well, why did you come to the conference room today?"
Amaia told her that this was the first time that Andrew came to watch such kind of boring design
competition.
Ashley could guess why he did it, but she decided to ask Andrew directly. She was worried that she
was overthinking it.
Andrew said, "I wanted to surprise you."
Ashley didn't say anything. 'Well, you didn't surprise me. You shocked me instead!' thought Ashley.
But Ashley didn't tell Andrew about her thoughts because she was worried that she might upset
Andrew.
Ashley said, "Next time, when you decide to come see me, please let me know beforehand. I will be
happier if you tell me."
Andrew said, "Okay."
In reality, Andrew responded with a white lie. He didn't agree to do as what Ashley said. 'I want to give
you a surprise. Why would I spoil it for you?' thought Andrew.
After arriving at the villa, Claire already had their dinner prepared. Ashley and Andrew went upstairs,
placed their office items down and then walked downstairs.
Ashley knew that Andrew couldn't handle eating spicy food, even if it was just a little. She told Claire to
cook something light for Andrew. There were no spicy dishes on the table.
Claire was confused at first. She looked at Ashley and asked in amazement, "Miss Mu, you like spicy
food, don't you?"
Ashley was too shy to look at Claire. "Well, I suddenly find it unhealthy to eat spicy food. I had a
stomachache yesterday. So, please cook something light."
Claire didn't ask anything more after hearing Ashley's reply. She started cooking something particularly
light.
Ashley took some vegetables into her bowl with her chopsticks and tasted them. She only tasted salt,
oil, and the leafy and juicy vegetables.
'Well, the taste is very suitable.
This suits Andrew's taste, ' thought Ashley.
Andrew looked at the light dishes on the table, and then looked at Ashley who seemed upset. Although
she was trying to adapt to this taste, her facial expression had shown that she didn't like it.
She used to eat with her mouth full of food and her eyes sparkling.
But at that moment…
Andrew couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
The dishes on the table were all he liked to eat. They were all light. But Andrew's appetite was nowhere
to be found.
Ashley tried to swallow the vegetables. Then she found that the bowl of rice in front of Andrew was still
full. He hadn't started eating, but gazed at her instead.
Ashley got settled into her chair and asked. "What's wrong? Why haven't you start eating? Don't you
like these dishes?"
While speaking, Ashley's brow began to furrow a bit.
She also felt that the taste was too light. There was no other taste except for the taste of salt.
They were unsavory for Ashley's taste buds.
She wondered how Andrew could eat such dishes for so many years.
Ashley couldn't help but show sympathy for Andrew.
Andrew shook his head and said, "No. It tastes good."
Ashley didn't say anything. 'Well, I shouldn't consider Andrew as an ordinary person, ' thought
Ashley.
