Chapter 33 Call Him By His First Name

Andrew blinked, and turned his attention back to the seat belt, helping Ashley buckle up nonetheless. After that, he slumped back into his seat.

Ashley heaved a breath of relief.

Andrew fastened his own seat belt. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked intently at Ashley. "Are you okay?" he asked deliberately, noticing that her cheeks were completely flushed pink.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied faintly, her voice slightly quivering.

"But why are you blushing so much?" Andrew pressed.

Ashley was speechless. 'What's going on? I thought he was an aloof, bossy, difficult man of a few words, ' she thought, baffled.

"It's not a big deal," Ashley said with a nervous laugh. "Perhaps it's just the heat. I think it's better to let some air in," she added as she rolled down the window.

Andrew started the car and drove away. With a pensive look, Ashley stared out the car window, allowing the cool breeze to gently caress her rosy cheeks. Soon enough, the blush on her face faded slowly.

She could imagine how worried Ellie was right now since she didn't go home last night.

Besides, she didn't know how to explain to Ellie for her sleeping over without telling her.

She didn't think it was a good idea to tell the truth to her best friend. If she told her that she had been set up by Lena, got tipsy and slept over at a man's house, her bestie might never let her leave the house alone.

But she felt lucky that she had met a gentleman like Andrew. She couldn't imagine the consequences if she had met someone with bad intentions the previous night.

Ashley didn't remember what had happened to her after she ran into Andrew last night. She had no idea that he had seen her naked since he had helped her change her clothes.

Perhaps Ashley wouldn't think so highly of Andrew if she found out what he had done to her.

Although Andrew was driving, he stole Ashley glances every now and then.

Noticing that Ashley was looking a bit troubled, he assumed that it was because of his sister's rude behavior towards her earlier that day.

He pressed his lips and looked at her at the

er. Besides, he seldom spent time with girls. As a result, he didn't know what to say to her in the first place.

As for Ashley, she also didn't know what to say. After all, Andrew was just a stranger to her.

All of a sudden, Andrew's phone rang, breaking the silence.

Ashley gave Andrew's cell phone back to him.

He caught a glimpse of the screen and saw that it was Johnny calling.

Ashley blinked her long eyelashes, assuming that Johnny was Andrew's assistant.

Without saying a word, he took the phone and ended the call.

However, Johnny didn't give up. He made several calls.

He called up several times, but Andrew refused to take his calls.

In the company, Johnny paced back and forth in Andrew's office. He was so anxious that he wanted to cry. 'Why won't Mr. Lu answer the phone?'

It was the first time Andrew hadn't shown up in the company. What was worse, he needed to attend an important meeting in a few minutes.

Since the meeting was quite important, Johnny called again.

Inside the Rolls-Royce, Ashley stared at Andrew's buzzing cell phone. After hesitating for a while, she suggested, "Please take it. What if he has something important to say?"

With a frown and a sigh, Andrew took her advice and picked up the phone.

"What's up?" he asked nonchalantly.

Back in Andrew's company, Johnny was so delighted when he heard Andrew's voice through the receiver.
