A Love Trap novel Chapter 357

'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.

How could she say something like that!

She was harsh!

I need backup from Ellie."

He then turned to Ellie.

She grabbed Ashley's arm and said, "Ashley, I think he has a point. Anyway, it's a free ride. It's going to save us money. Let's just get in the car."

'A free ride? Is that all I am to her? A driver?' Francis thought, a bit upset.

Ashley looked at Ellie and nodded. "Okay."

Francis was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Since he was seated in the driver's seat, he could see from the mirror that the two were whispering and giggling. 'What are they talking about? Why aren't they talking to me?

That is not what I'd planned!' he complained inwardly.

He then parked the car near a supermarket because Ashley and Ellie needed to buy something. He intended to go inside with them and go shopping too.

However, just as he was unfastening his seat belt, he was stopped. "Francis, you can stay here."

"No, Ashley, let me go with you. I can help you carry the grocery bags. They might be heavy."

'Alas, I'm just a servant now.'

Ashley thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, let's go."
