A Love Trap

Chapter 64 The CEO Of The Lu Group

What Johnny saw stunned him to his core. 'What is this?' he said to himself, in utter disbelief.

With his preconceived notions of what Andrew was as a person, he didn't understand why such things were in Andrew's office.

They were romantic novels.

'Normally, ' he thought to himself, 'only young women like reading these kinds of things. How did this appear in the CEO's office?'

In his peripheral vision, he suddenly saw Andrew cast him a cold glance. It made him realize that he might have acted a little too excited and surprised at his discovery.

Being Andrew's personal assistant for a long time now, he knew he shouldn't show any kind of astonishment on his face whenever he came across things like this.

'You better calm down!' he reprimanded himself.

Balling his fist, he took a deep breath and tried to move on.

But he just couldn't help but be astounded by the fact that Andrew was reading romantic novels in his office.

It was something so revelatory that he couldn't stay calm.

Laughing silently at himself, he began to wonder whether the CEO sitting in front of him was a fake one or whether Andrew was possessed and controlled by another person's spirit.

He of course didn't dare tell Andrew what was in his mind at that moment.

Andrew couldn't understand what was happening with Johnny.

After he was given the investigation results, he quickly pulled a long face and started studying them, giving off a strong aura of coldness.

Johnny was beside him, and he could definitely feel his uneasiness due to the aura he was giving off.

While looking at the report, Andrew couldn't help but be impressed. The work Johnny gave him was solid. Working with Johnny for a long time now, he knew that he would surely carry out a thorough investigation and get real and detailed information without making a mistake.

When Andrew reached the part of the document that revealed that Lena asked Ashley and Mr. Chen to go to the Harkim on the same day with the intention of letting Mr. Chen sexually assault Ashley, his hands shook.

He was livid. 'So if I didn't stay at the Harkim and didn't meet Ashley, Lena could have been successful, '

he thought, anger burning in his chest. Although nothing unpleasant happened to Ashley in the end, Andrew couldn't help but be indignant.

He couldn't imagine what would have happened to Ashley if he wasn't there that evening.

With resentment simmering in his insides, he started to hold a grudge against the Mu Group, the Mu family and Lena, who was so cruel to Ashley.

'Well, since the Mu family had the audacity to try and harm Ashley, I guess it's just to get back at them.' The anger in him was approaching its limit.

"Two days, Johnny. I want the Mu Group destroyed in two days. I want them gone, without any trace that they even exist."

Johnny was still in disbelief over finding romantic novels in Andrew's office when Andrew's cold, angry voice snapped him back to reality.

Stunned, he turned to Andrew. It was the first time that he had heard his boss sound like this. It was also the first time that Andrew had decided to destroy a company because of a woman.

But then, considering the things that the Mu family did to Ashley, he understood what Andrew was feeling and sympathized with his decision.

"Okay, Mr. Lu," he said, his eyes averting Andrew's stare. He started getting ready to get out of the office and take the Mu Group down. While that was what he was really intending to do, he was also in a rush to get out of the office because he was afraid that if he stayed there longer after finding out Andrew's secret, he would be at the receiving end of Andrew's fury.

'And no one wants that, ' he said to himself.

After gathering all his things, Johnny started to shuffle towards the door until he again heard Andrew's voice.

"Wait a second,"

Andrew muttered.

Johnny turned around and said, "Mr. Lu, is there anything else I could do for you?" Confusion was all over his face.

Andrew didn't respond for a few moments. When he did, Johnny saw that he was smiling, albeit slyly. "Don't punish the Mu Group just yet," he said, leaning back on his chair. "Work with them, for the time being."

Erasing the Mu Group in J City's history was an easy job. Andrew could just give an order, sit back, and enjoy whatever would unfold.

But it struck him that it just wasn't enjoyable if the Mu Group disappeared just like that. He wanted to let Ashley do it, in whatever way she liked, in the future.

So for now, he'd let the Mu family live in peace. 'I would give them a chance to enjoy their lives and better their reputation, and then I'd make them notorious. That's when they'd disappear, ' he thought to himself. 'It's gonna be all up to my mood. Sadistic, but it must be done.'

As far as he was concerned, it would be better to put the Mu family in utter despair while they were getting their hopes up.

He was never a kind person after all. If he was, he wouldn't be the CEO of the Lu Group.

Besides, he could come up with a lot of cruel methods to punish others.

While the sudden change in Andrew's plan surprised Johnny, he didn't ask any question and went on to follow what he was tasked to do. After all, Andrew was his CEO.

The plan was simple and even an ordinary person could easily figure out Andrew's intentions. Johnny guessed that Andrew would help Ashley take revenge against the Mu family, and he believed that Ashley would appreciate that if she knew about it.

Once Johnny got out of Andrew's office, he was met by several senior leaders.

They all gathered around him, and asked if Andrew had signed the urgent documents they sent in.

'They were pushed to the side, neglected, because your CEO is now reading romantic novels only girls are interested in, ' he answered in his mind.

In Johnny's mind, he was sure that Andrew had read the novels more carefully than any of the other important documents he had to sign.

But no matter how much Johnny found the fact that Andrew was reading romantic novels fascinating, he would never disclose that to anyone. If he decided to share it, he was sure that not one soul would believe him. Even he wouldn't if he hadn't seen it in person. So why would the senior leaders?

In everyone's eyes, Andrew, the Lu Group's CEO, was a man who was aloof and decisive all the time. Anyone would easily get frightened by him and would want to get away from him after being around him for some time.

Moreover, he only stayed with men all these years. He hadn't had any woman beside him.

Some people had even wondered whether he only had interest in men. Johnny couldn't help but laugh at that thought.

"Not yet," Johnny started, addressing everyone around him. "Mr. Lu has something more important to deal with right now, so don't go to disturb him. Otherwise, you might get into trouble." His tone was threatening.

Upon hearing what he said, the senior leaders became very anxious and upset, not knowing what to do now as they could not have the urgent documents signed. They all wondered what was happening to Andrew these past few days and what was taking him so long to sign the documents. Despite their frustration, no one dared push Andrew to do anything quickly.

Even if it annoyed them, they knew that only Johnny would get a chance to get close to Andrew to remind him to do something. Because of that, they all pinned their hopes on him.

Johnny noticed all of them staring at him with such eagerness, and all he could feel was stress. "Don't look at me like that," he said, his tone defensive. "You all know that I can't do anything about it. Mr. Lu

seems to be in a bad mood now, so I won't go to him at this moment. You can go inside and talk to him personally if you really want him to sign those documents." 'Mr. Lu would be in no mood to deal with anything

after he just learned the kind of atrocities the Mu family have done to Ashley, ' he silently added.

"Johnny, could you please go inside and help us remind Mr. Lu? Those documents are really very important to us," one of the senior leaders begged.

Even though these senior leaders were older than Andrew, enjoyed a high status in the company, and no one dared offend them, they were all afraid of Andrew. They got nervous if they met or talked to him.

"That's right, Johnny. Please. Only you can help us now," another senior leader begged.
