Upon hearing Kylie's words, Francis's heart palpitated with excitement and a hint of slyness flashed through the corners of his eyes.
However, when he lifted his gaze, he acted as an honest man again and asked gently, "Really?"
"Of course!" Kylie nodded.
She dared not make eye contact with him as she herself was in disbelief at her response.
She had always believed that the best thing in the world was to devote her life to the hero who saved her from distress.
After waking up in the hospital yesterday, she frantically started to find the hero who saved her.
Nonetheless, apart from being happy, she felt that something was amiss when she met Francis.
She just could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
So she changed the topic quickly, she pointed to the BMW X7 next to her and said to him, "Francis, do you like this car? If you do, I will get it for you."
He was about to play hard-to-get when suddenly, a teasing voice could be heard from behind, "Kylie, are you here to buy a car?"
Kylie and Francis were both shocked and turned their head in unison to see Nathan and Penny approaching them.
The person who spoke was Nathan.
The duo walked towards them quietly earlier and had overheard their conversation.
Immediately, Nathan knew that Kylie had mistaken a scoundrel for a good man. This balding man was not her savior.
Last night, when Penny and Kylie slept in the same room, she told her about what happened at the Indigo Club.
