In just a few seconds, Francis found himself deep in thought as he gazed at Selina.
Suddenly, he gave a slight smile. "No need to fuss. Your sister will be out any minute now..."
He reached for the fruit platter on the table.
"I'm not really a fruit person, but it’s hard to refuse such kindness."
With that, he picked up a slice of apple, popped it into his mouth, and said, "See? I ate it."
His smile widened, and he flashed a grin at Selina.
That grin made Selina’s heart skip a beat!
Francis was undeniably handsome, but he usually had a serious expression. Who knew that when he smiled, he was even more charming!
Selina felt a slight warmth on her cheeks, a sense of excitement bubbling up inside her.
She wasn’t ready to leave just yet. She had to find something to talk about.
Pointing at Francis’s phone, she asked, "Mr. Johnson, are you busy?"
"Not at all." Francis immediately locked his phone. "Just browsing through things with nothing better to do."
Seizing the opportunity, Selina suggested, "How about we exchange numbers?"
Her heart was racing. Would he refuse?
"Sure thing."
To her surprise, Francis nodded and agreed without hesitation, unlocking his phone and opening up the contacts app.
"Shall I scan yours?"
"Yes!" Selina beamed, leaning closer to add him as a contact.
Suddenly, Francis gave her a quick glance and whispered, "Your sister’s coming down!"
"Oh."
Selina heard the footsteps too. Looking up, she saw Rebecca White descending the stairs.
Quickly, Selina tucked her phone away and picked up the fruit platter.
She gave Francis a shy smile. "Since you don't like fruit, next time, I'll treat you to something you do like."
"Sounds good."
"I’ll be off then. Let’s keep in touch!"
"Sure."
