A Love Trap
Chapter 105 Going To Work Together

Maybe Ashley was the only one who thought that Andrew was gentle and considerate.

He actually was an impatient person. It was only for Ashley that he brought out his gentleness and patience.

Ashley had thought it through and decided to accept Andrew. So she wrapped her arms around Andrew and nestled into his embrace.

Andrew's embrace was warm and comfortable. Ashley could smell the minty scent on his body and felt his steady breath.

Ashley gradually relaxed and fell asleep in Andrew's arms.

A happy smile took its place on Andrew's face as he stared at Ashley, who was sleeping like a baby in his arms.

It was the first time that Ashley had hugged him willingly and the first time that she had come so close to him. Andrew was actually jumping for joy from within.

He kissed Ashley's forehead gently and whispered," Good night, sweetie."

The next morning, Ashley and Andrew sat at the table to have breakfast.

The food that Claire had cooked was delicious, but couldn't be compared to Andrew's cooking.

Ashley stared at Andrew, wondering if he would let her go back to work. She was already feeling better and her hands didn't hurt anymore.

She thought about asking him the question, but she didn't know what to call him.

Should she call him by his full name? Andrew Lu?

She could have called him that in the past, but now that they were in a relationship, calling him by his full name might put a distance between them. How about she called him Andrew?

But all his friends called him Andrew.

'Maybe I should call him honey! Many couples call each other honey, 'Ashley pondered.

On second thought, she scratched the idea of calling Andrew 'honey'. It sounded too mushy.

Andrew, who was eating with his head down, felt Ashley's gaze. He looked up and asked," What's wrong?"

Andrew was elegant and noble, and whatever he did, he exuded dignity. He was Prince Charming in real life.

"I think my hand is better now. Can I go back to work today?" Ashley asked carefully. She reached out her hand and showed it to Andrew.

She gazed hopefully at Andrew as she waited for his answer. She was tired of staying at home.

Andrew looked at her hand, and then up at her. It did seem better than yesterday but it wasn't completely healed. Andrew believed that Ashley still needed to rest at home for a few more days.

But he softened as he saw the expectant look in her pretty eyes, and just couldn't say no to her.

"Great! I'll get dressed up in a minute!" Ashley said, cheered by Andrew's approval.

She ran upstairs hurriedly and Andrew couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her run.

"I'm done. Let's go!" Ashley trilled as she came back with her purse. She had nipped up just for that and had come back downstairs as fast as she could.

Andrew got up from where he was sitting and headed towards the door. Ashley followed him, a spring in her step.

When they were in the car, Ashley said to Andrew as she buckled up," Drive me to the bus station, and I'll take a bus to work."

"Where do you work?" Andrew asked, fully intending to reject her suggestion.

"You don't have to drive me to work. Just drop me off at a bus station," Ashley said, waving a hand.

As she spoke, Andrew turned to look quite seriously into her eyes. Ashley trailed off, overcome with tension.

Ashley was scared to see Andrew stare at her like that. Out of fear, she gave the address to him.

But the address that she gave him wasn't the exact address of her cake store but a couple of streets away from her store.

"Won't you have to go out of your way to give me a lift? I thought it's quite far away from where you work," Ashley said hesitantly.

"No, it's on the way," Andrew lied, avoiding Ashley's gaze.

If Johnny could hear what Andrew had just said, he would have fallen off his chair.

How could Andrew say that without batting an eye?

Ashley's store was to the east of the city, while Andrew's company was in the west. They were located in opposite directions. To top it off, they were quite far away from each other. And now Andrew was saying that they fell in the same path? How was that possible? Andrew usually had drivers pick him up for work. But of late, he had called it off.

Johnny had been confused but he canceled the pick up service as Andrew had asked.

How amazed Johnny would be if he knew that Andrew had sent everyone away on purpose so that he could be alone with Ashley on the way to work.

Ashley sighed in relief as she heard Andrew's answer.

"So, what do you do right now?" Andrew asked with a smile.

Andrew didn't know that Ashley owned a bakery because he hadn't intended to interfere with her work. So he had skimmed over the part about her work when he had read her information.

"I run a store with Ellie. We opened it not long ago," Ashley beamed.

Seeing the happy smile on her face, Andrew somehow became jealous of Ellie because during the time that he had missed with Ashley, Ellie had been the one inseparable constant in Ashley's life. Sensing that Andrew was annoyed, Ashley turned and looked at him, puzzled.

Feeling her gaze on him, Andrew rearranged his features and asked," Really? What kind of store are you running?"

"It's a bakery where we sell cupcakes. Do you like eating cupcakes? I can bring you some when I come back," Ashley said.

Andrew wanted to say no because he had hated sweet food since his childhood.

But he couldn't reject her when he saw her expectant, excited face. "Yes, I'd like that," he ended up saying.

"I'm telling you, the cupcakes Ellie and I sell are the best in the world, and you are definitely going to love them!" Ashley couldn't stop talking when it came to cakes.

She kept twittering on the way to the store, and Andrew just listened quietly, nodding along from time to time.

As he looked at Ashley, Andrew thought of all the times he had hated people twittering away like sparrows as he drove. How strange it was that he now loved Ashley talking by his side. "Okay, here we are," Ashley said as the car turned into a street.

Andrew stopped the car and asked, "When do you get off work? I'll pick you up."

"Oh, you don't need to. I can take a taxi home." Ashley said, not wanting to trouble him too much.

Andrew said nothing but just stared at her, waiting for her to change her answer. At last, Ashley gave in and said, "I get off at 5 pm."

Andrew nodded and said, "Be right here waiting for me then. Do not wander around by yourself."

"Okay," Ashley said, wondering why she couldn't wander around. She wasn't a three-year-old kid. She wouldn't get lost. 00
