A Love Trap novel Chapter 185

Ellie had written every single detail of their income and expenses in the notebook.

As it was the end of the month, they were carefully reviewing the accounts.

"Money for flour..."

"Wait, Ellie. How did we get this money?" Ashley asked.

Ellie glanced at the notebook and said, "It is the profit on April 10th. I went to L City and asked you to write it down. Did you forget?"

"Well, it looks like my handwriting. There are too many items, so I think I mixed up," Ashley murmured to herself.

They finished checking the accounts within an hour as Ellie was always thorough and accurate in her work.

"Uh, Ellie. I guess we are rich women now," Ashley said suddenly.

"Why?"

"Look." Ashley showed Ellie the figure she just calculated. "After subtracting the money for the ingredients and employees' salaries, we still have twenty thousand left."

"Well done! We have earned more money than we did in the Luo Group."

"Yes." Ashley nodded in agreement.

She stood up and stretched. Suddenly she realized it was already afternoon and she was hungry.

"Ellie, what are we having tonight?"

"You can check in the refrigerator if there is anything to eat. Otherwise we'll need to go to supermarket," replied Ellie while she gathered her things.

"Okay," said Ashley and ambled off to the kitchen.

She opened the refrigerator and found that there was nothing they could have for dinner. "It looks like we'll have to go shopping as there's nothing left in the fridge," she said.

"Ding-dong," went the doorbell.

Ellie was in the bedroom, so Ashley went to answer the door.

She wondered who it could be.

When she opened the door, she saw a man in a pink business suit. The man was about 1.80 meters tall. He supported his head with one hand, and Ashley couldn't see his face because his head was lowered.

But despite this, he looked familiar to her.

"May I ask who you are looking for?" Ashley asked.

Francis was trying to strike a cool pose when he heard the door open, but he was puzzled when he heard the voice. 'Why does she sound like Andrew's girlfriend?' he thought to himself before raising his head.

Their eyes met and they stood there staring at each other for a minute.

"Ashley?" he asked in surprise.

"Aren't you Andrew's friend? Ah, what's your name? Fran..." Ashley faintly recognized him. He was the same man who had applied medicine to her in Andrew's office.

"Francis," he completed.

"Oh, right, Francis. What can I do for you?" she asked.

"Do you live here?" he inquired.

"Yes." Ashley nodded and continued, "Is something wrong?"

"No." His mind was working fast trying to put the pieces of this puzzle together.

'I'm sure I have the right address. This is Ellie's home, but Ashley is here too. Do they know each other?'
