Chapter 184 Feeling Sweet

Andrew put Ashley's cell phone on the mute mode and watched her sleep for a while. He left only after
Johnny called him the third time.

At the international airport, he naturally attracted a lot of attention due to his looks and his dashing
black suit.

Johnny followed him closely, dragging a suitcase and, at the same time, updating him about the
itinerary for the day.

"Mr. Lu, you will arrive in A country by four o'clock this afternoon. And then you will have dinner with the
CEO of the Flourish Group..."

Johnny stopped mid-sentence, because there was a woman standing in front of them. And it was none
other than Lesley, who came to see Andrew in his office yesterday.

She greeted them as soon as she saw them. "Hi, Andrew. Hi, Johnny."

She was carrying a small suitcase. Obviously she, too, was going abroad.

Johnny glanced briefly at Andrew and then turned to Lesley. "Miss Feng, where are you going?"

"Oh, I am going to A country with Andrew, because now I'm in charge of our family's business there,"
she explained.

Johnny's heart lurched. 'So she is going with us?'

"Miss Feng is a truly remarkable businesswoman," he complimented.

Lesley responded with a catty smile.



What she didn't tell them was that when she found out that Andrew was going to A country yesterday,
she checked which flight he had booked and booked the same one. She even succeeded in getting the
seat next to his.

At Golden Palace

Ashley sat up on the bed, rubbing her sore waist. Bright sunlight flooded the room. She raised her arm
to cover her eyes. Then she took the cell phone from the night stand and saw that there were a few
missed calls from Ellie.

Ashley was about to return her calls when a new text came in. It was from Andrew.

"I'm boarding."

She had just woken up and he was already boarding. They slept at the same time and how could he be
so energetic?

She quickly texted back, "Take care. Waiting for you to come back soon."

She lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Then suddenly she thought of something and sat up
abruptly. The muscles in her body ached with the sudden motion and she cried out in pain.

Andrew wasn't here, which meant that she was free. He could no longer control her and she could do
whatever she wanted.

He kept a close eye on her lately and didn't allow her to do many things. She was taken home by him
immediately after work every day.

At the airport



Lesley stole a glance at Andrew's hand from time to time in order to find out if she had made a mistake
yesterday about the ring. However, his hands were in his pockets all the time and she couldn't see.

Suddenly his cell phone beeped. Lesley caught a glimpse of a faint smile on his lips.

She was taken aback. Since the time she had known Andrew, there was only one expression on his
face. She had never seen this kind of a soft smile.

She started to wonder who had sent the text to Andrew.

Aware of Lesley's eyes on him, Andrew gave her a brief glance and then resumed his usual stoic
expression.

Johnny was observing all this and muttering to himself, 'Now Mr. Lu's heart is totally occupied by Miss
Mu. Whatever you do, however hard you try, you can't get Mr. Lu's attention.

Besides, Mr. Lu is always so sullen.

Why are you so attracted to him?'

As the villa was quite far away from the bakery, Andrew arranged one person to stay there in order to
help Ashley.

Ashley was physically exhausted but it wasn't as bad as their last time having sex. Or else she would
be in bed all day.

Ashley returned Ellie's call. "Hi, Ellie. Why did you call me?" she asked.

"I'm taking Grandpa and Grandma back. Are you coming?"

"Oh, now? Okay, sure. You'll have to wait for me until I get ready."



Ashley hopped out of bed and rushed to get ready in the bathroom. Then she sprinted down the steps.

"Miss Mu, where are you hurrying off to?" Claire asked. She saw Ashley running out and came to talk
to her.

"I have to go out, Claire. I won't have breakfast. Talk to you later." Ashley grabbed a few slices of bread
from the table and headed out.

She asked Josef to take her to the housing estate where she used to live before, and told him to wait
downstairs while she went up.

"Ellie, so you will take Brown and Laura back today?" Ashley asked.

Ellie nodded.

"Okay, I have a car downstairs. We'll take them back together."

Josef didn't expect Ashley to return with three people. He thought it was a good thing that he had taken
the big car today. Otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Ashley sat in the passenger seat and let Ellie and her grandparents sit in the back. She knew that Ellie
hated to part with them, so she wanted to give them some more time together.

"Ellie, Ashley, you two go back, please," requested Brown.

Ashley said, "Don't worry, Brown. We have taken a leave today anyway. We can be with you for some
more time."

They took Brown and Laura to the bus station and helped them board the bus. Both girls stood
watching the bus disappear in the distance, and then they turned around to go back.



"Don't you worry. We can go to see them often if you want," said Ashley trying to cheer up her best
friend, who looked glum.

Ellie nodded and said, "Okay."

Suddenly, something occurred to Ashley. "Ellie, I can stay with you at your place today," she said
excitedly.

Ellie looked at her with uncertainty and asked, "Will he agree?"

Ashley held her head up. "He has to even if he doesn't want to. He is on a business trip," she replied
smugly.

"Wow, looks like you are very happy about it," Ellie remarked.

"Of course," Ashley nodded happily.

"Josef, you can go back. You don't have to come to pick me up this week. I will stay with Ellie," she
instructed.

"Okay, Miss Mu."

As it was the end of a month, Ellie let all the staff of the bakery take a day off. They didn't have to work
today.

Ashley and Ellie tended to the shop and after closing for the day, they went back home by cab. When
they were home, Ashley opened her arms, took a deep breath and said, "It is so wonderful to be here!"

Ellie looked at her and said, "Well, come here."

The bakery was owned by the two of them. They had invested all their money in the shop. So at the
end of each month, they settled the accounts to see how much they earned.
