Gathering around were some curious people who couldn't help whispering to each other.
"As I said, this is good news for us, isn't it? Since Ashley left, there has been no woman around our president. Everything has returned to normal. Now that our president is willing to have a woman in his life again, it means that we still have a chance."
"What?!" Somebody shivered at those words.
"I don't think that's a good idea. As far as I'm concerned, only Ashley can handle the president's bad temper.
He has always been like that. As I say, the president's cold face could scare everyone around him."
"What do you mean? Only Ashley? Really? Is she the only woman capable of doing that act to get what she wants? Moreover, our president is really nice, handsome and rich. His cold face doesn't matter at all."
"Great! You are free to pursue him if you want."
Because they saw Andrew carrying a woman around the company headquarters, they were trying to guess the woman's identity as they did not see her face. The gossip started as soon as the two passed by, in front of everyone.
Not bothered at all by the gossip around him, Andrew walked into his office and closed the door. In his arms was Ashley. He looked at her soft hair and couldn't help running his fingers through it.
Seeing their reflection in the large mirror, he forgot that he was carrying her. Just as he stretched a hand to touch Ashley's head, her body lost the support and slid down to the floor. Subconsciously, Ashley's hands flung to Andrew's neck to hold on to.
Their reflection reminded them of how they looked like in the old times when they were passionately in love.
At that moment, neither of them spoke of what had just happened.
Successfully, Andrew touched Ashley's hair, which was still soft as he imagined.
Raising her head, Ashley realized that she was in Andrew's office. The thought of Andrew taking her inside his office in the company and holding her so close like this made her blush.
"Well, you may put me down now. You still have a me
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
ave a choice but to zip her mouth.
After a while, the comments became repetitive. It became boring for Alice and she didn't want to reply anymore.
But the knowledge that she was the only person who knew...
She was on cloud nine!
Meanwhile, in Andrew's office, Ashley had no idea how Alice was reacting to what she just told her.
Engrossed, Ashley kept on writing Andrew's name while thinking how to explain five long years of absence to him.
It was her fault. But, somehow, not everything was completely hers. If there hadn't been any misunderstanding, how could she choose to go abroad without telling him?
If she went abroad, who would benefit most? Who could snatch the man that she wanted most in her life?
Who else could it be?!
Lesley Feng!
Never in her life could she forget that name!
Humph! She still wanted her husband.
Deeply absorbed in her own thoughts, Ashley didn't notice the door opening slowly and a pair of shiny leather shoes coming in.
Walking quietly to Ashley, Andrew saw his name written all over the paper.
Then, looking at Ashley, he saw her frowning. No one knew what was going on in that brain of hers
Andrew reached out his hand, trying to smooth Ashley's furrowed brows. Suddenly, he thought of something and took his hand back slowly.
