Raymond did still have a bit expectations before he heard the last sentence of Lena. But he gave up all hope after that.
'Yeah, she is married, and her husband is so powerful. Now my family is about to be destroyed by the man.
I don't have the qualifications to win Ashley back from him.
But why did Lena say that Ashley was forced to marry that man? Was there anything else I didn't know?'
"I don't understand. What's the deal here? Didn't Ashley marry him willingly? Did that man force her to marry him?"
'He forced Ashley to marry him? Well! How is that possible?
See his status, and see Ashley's status. Why would he want to marry her against her will?
Ashley is like any other normal person. Girls like her rea a dime a dozen. Andrew is the kind of man who can have any woman he wants. Then why would he force a simple girl like Ashley to marry him?
She must have used some improper means to get Andrew to marry her. There's no other explanation.
However, if Raymond can get together with Ashley again and she divorces Andrew, it is alright to set Andrew up!'
Lena thought disdainfully. But she didn't reveal her intentions on her face. She wore an indescribable expression.
This made Raymond more anxious. "What's going on? Say something!"
"Actually, this is only conjecture at this point. Ashley had come back home just after she got married. Although she didn't say anything, she was particularly depressed," stated Lena.
"I saw her marriage certificate last time, but she grabbed it back before I could open it. She scolded me for touching her private belongings. She was really angry that time.
That's why I think she married Andrew unwillingly. She must still be thinking about you, but she does not say it aloud."
Lena looked at Raymond with fake sincerity. "Ashley must not be happy ever since she married that man. Only you two make the ideal couple. Besides, I do believe that only you can make her happy. So, Raymond, go find Ashley. I will help you out."
It had
like they were close friends. "Why are you so afraid of me? Will I eat you up?"
Johnny was speechless. 'You will not eat me but you might trick me, '
he thought to himself, but he didn't dare to say this to Greyson.
Johnny let out a forced laugh, "Please don't joke. I'm glad to see you. Why would I be afraid of you?"
"Are these for Andrew?" asked Greyson, pointing to the files in his hands. "I'm going to his office, I'll drop them for you."
Greyson took the files from him without waiting for his reply and left.
Once again, Johnny was speechless.
Greyson knocked on Andrew's door. "Come in." The dry answer he got from Andrew was just what he wanted.
He pushed the door and saw his friend sitting at his desk engrossed in his work.
Greyson called him, "Andrew."
He looked up from his computer. There was no surprise on his face when he saw Greyson in front of him.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Grayson recoiled a bit when Andrew stared at him. He stepped back tamely.
Only when Andrew averted his gaze did Greyson feel relieved.
"Andrew, don't tell me you forget what day it is today!" he said, looking like he was going to burst into tears.
"No," Andrew answered.
"I knew you wouldn't forget," said Greyson beaming. "Tonight 7 p.m. at Silver Club, you must come."
"Okay," replied Andrew.
