A Love Trap

'Okay, now I have to convince Ashley.'

Francis took a step forward so that he was directly in front of Ashley. He then flashed her a smile.

However, Ashley was furious at the mere sight of Francis.

Andrew wasn't here so she took her anger out on him.

'You're his best friend. I know you two talk a lot and you know what each other is up to, so you can't blame me.

All men are liars!

No exceptions!

All they do is cheat on women!'

Francis just merely stood there and he had no idea what was going on in Ashley's mind.

"What's wrong with you? Get out of our way. We have to catch the bus," Ashley said.

"Ashley, I can give you and Ellie a ride. You don't need to catch the bus. It's crowded and you might not even get to sit anymore. Anyone can take the bus and I just want you two to be safe. Especially such beautiful women as yourselves.

If you ride with me, you'll be much safer and more comfortable. You can even sleep if you want. You're going to be completely safe. What do you think?" Francis posed.

She put on a fake smile and said, "I'm sorry to tell you this but we want to take the bus. We've been taking this bus for more than 20 years now. We're used to it. You don't need to worry about our safety.

Maybe, you should be worrying about yourself. A handsome man like yourself can easily attract thieves."

Ellie couldn't help but feel uneasy upon hearing Ashley talk to Andrew like this. She eyed her and wondered what was going on with her. 'She's never behaved like this before.'

Francis looked at Ashley in amazement. 'She has changed a lot.
