A Love Trap novel Chapter 187

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.

Upon observation, Francis estimated that the entirety of this house was even smaller than his bedroom. However, it was cozily decorated and was very clean and tidy.

The kitchen had a transparent glass door and so the people in the living room can see what the people inside the kitchen were doing.

Francis' interest in Ellie might be a whim at first, but the more time he spent with her, the more graceful and amazing he found her to be.

And also what surprised him was that Ellie and Ashley were best friends.

In the kitchen, Ashley assisted Ellie. She was thinking of the relationship between Ellie and Francis while washing the vegetables. She was curious and couldn't help asking, "Ellie, how did you and Francis get to know each other?"

Ellie didn't want to talk about it and so she evaded the point by saying, "We just got to know each other like anyone else."

Ashley looked at her rather annoyed. "You know what I asked. You'd better tell me how it is. How did you get to know Francis? Tell me the truth or else, you know what I'm saying."

She knew Ellie's personality. She might look soft and easy-going, but behind that it was most difficult to persuade her. And she was stubborn if she made decisions. Nobody could change her mind.

Ashley had never seen Ellie being close with any man, except Greyson. To Ashley and Ellie, Greyson was a mere little brother. To them, he wasn't even a candidate for a romantic relationship.

Ashley fixed her eyes on Ellie, showing that she wouldn't give in until Ellie confessed.

"I got to know him at the hospital. He said that somebody was chasing him, and he ran into Grandpa's ward to hide. That was how I met him,"

Ellie said, without adding more details.

Ashley smirked. She didn't expect it to be so dramatic.
