A Love Trap

The cashier girl then took a close look at the card, and to her surprise, it was a black card.

This black card was a limited edition, and there were only five of this in the world! She didn't expect to see this legendary card at work.

At that moment, the girl felt that the card was like a hot potato, and hastily gave it back to Francis. Though astonished, she didn't show it on her face. She instead nonchalantly asked, "Do you have cash? I am afraid the card can't be used here…"

Francis took the card back and mumbled, "How come this card can't be used?"

Ashley was greatly surprised as well when she saw Francis take the black card out. However, she thought of Andrew's social status and that Francis was his friend. With this in mind, she regained her composure shortly after.

She took out some cash and gave it to the girl. The girl took the money and gave her back the changes and receipt. The three of them then left the supermarket.

As usual, it was Francis' job to do all the heavy work—carrying the groceries to the car, driving home, and carrying the groceries upstairs.

After they got back, Ellie brought the groceries and went into the kitchen.

Francis watched her as she strode into the kitchen and asked Ashley, "So Ellie is good at cooking?"

Ashley rolled her eyes at Francis. "Never call Ellie by her name. You aren't even close to her. There is only one person here who can call her like that and that's me. Of course, she is good at cooking. Do you think we go out every time we have a meal?"

Francis was upset. "How should I call her then if not by her name?"

"It's up to you. Just, don't call her Ellie."

After saying that, Ashley left Francis alone in the sitting room and went to the kitchen to help Ellie.

Since he got nothing to do, Francis then sat on the couch, rubbing his chin and examining the whole place.
