Chapter 510 The Mistress

Ashley did not want to linger. Normally she would leave after dropping off Andrew's meal.

This was something no one would expect.

Andrew was also feeling annoyed. He echoed Ashley's sentiments and was bored with Josef.

Josef was still waiting downstairs for Andrew like the good employee that he was. He had no idea that Andrew was getting tired of him.

At last, Ashley went out to have dinner with Andrew while Josef went back alone. Maybe Andrew found this to be a very refreshing change of pace or he welcomed the company that Ashley offered, he showed no intention of going back to the office. "You've been working pretty hard lately, aren't you going back to the office?" Ashley asked.

"I know, but I'm going to spend some time with you today," Andrew answered.

Ashley shook her head and averted her eyes. "No, you should focus on your work. I know there are many things that require your attention. Once you're finished, we'll have plenty of time to spend together."

Andrew stared silently at Ashley after hearing her words.

Andrew's silence weighed heavily on Ashley. She had already mentally rehearsed everything she wanted to tell him before she arrived here, everything seemed so clear in her head. But once they met, Ashley just couldn't bring herself to speak the truth to Andrew.

Andrew didn't work overtime today, so they went back home after dinner.

The next morning, Ashley was awakened by the ring tone from her cell phone.

Ashley had spent a lot of time resting and sleeping recently. Andrew had gone to work long before she woke up. It had been a hectic and stressful time for her so she needed more rest.

Ashley opened her sleepy eyes and reached for her phone. She expected it to be Andrew. This was usually Andrew's habit to call her when he went to work ahead of her. "Hello, this is Ashley," Ashley's sleepy voice sounded mechanical over the phone.

It was still quite early, and Ashley had been jarred awake. She had been roused from a very restful sleep.

"Ashley, where are you now?" The voice on the other end sounded very concerned.

It was the voice of Amaia. Ashley could tell that she was quite worried. "Amaia, what's wrong? It's just in the morning. What makes you call me so urgently?"

Amaia was scrolling down several comments on her computer screen. She was going over them one by one. Her eyes wi

EO of our company, President Andrew, is your husband?"

"Yes, it's him," replied Ashley softly.

"Ashley, I'm not kidding. What the hell is going on? You need to tell me the truth so that I can help you. All the netizens believe that you seduced Mr. Andrew. They are also saying even more nasty things. Rumors are swirling. We have to do something!"

Amaia didn't have the right words to describe the demolition job that was being done online to Ashley. It was terrible, and she just wanted to help her friend.

"Do you have doubts on me?" Ashley asked.

Amaia was puzzled. The question seemed strange and out of place. "Doubt you? Why would I doubt you?"

"I mean those comments online. Do you believe any of them? Do you doubt my integrity?"

Amaia, did not hesitate to answer Ashley. "I believe that you are a good person, and I don't doubt you for a minute.

But all the pictures are real."

All of a sudden, Ashley wasn't as sad as before. She didn't care what others thought about her, as long as her best friends could trust her.

Ashley was about to answer Amaia when her phone rang again. There was a call waiting. It was Ellie.

"I'm sorry Amaia, but something's come up. I'll talk to you later." Ashley hung up on Amaia. She didn't want to do that, but she had to see why Ellie called her.

Amaia stared at the screen for several minutes even after Ashley had hung up. She still couldn't believe all of the garbage being posted online.

"Mrs. Mo, I have something to tell you," said Amaia.

Glancing at Amaia, Kelly said coldly, "Come on in."
