A Love Trap

Chapter 121 Poker-faced Man

It was obvious that he was a frequent visitor.

The man in the pink suit looked more coquettish than women, with his peachy cheeks and almond- shaped eyes. He cast flirtatious glances at every woman passing him by.

What was surprising was that the pink suit didn't feel awkward or feminine on him. Instead, it suited him. He had been like this since birth.

Francis walked straight to Andrew's office and sat down casually on the sofa.

"Ah, it's unexpected that Andrew would have snacks, which are girls' favorite. What a surprise! I'll enjoy myself first," Francis said, raising his eyebrows when he saw snacks on the table.

Francis was a playboy so he knew what kind of snacks were favored by girls.

He had bought them himself on many occasions.

Technically speaking, Francis was a dutiful lover. When he was in a relationship, he would treat his girl pretty well. Whether it was reasonable or not, as long as she wanted it, he would satisfy her demands.

However, he also was the most ruthless lover. Once the relationship ended, he would get away from her as soon as possible, and treat the girl like a complete stranger.

Feeling bored, Francis picked up some snacks and began to eat them. Soon he found himself addicted to them.

"Wow, they're delicious. Eh, famous brands. Good. Looks like Andrew is fond of these," Francis commented while he was eating.

He didn't notice Ashley because she lay on the secluded sofa on the other side and played with her cellphone, wearing earphones.

But Ashley had noticed him coming in because Francis made a lot of noise, which couldn't be ignored. She poked her head sneakily, casting a furtive glance at him, and then cowered quickly.

She couldn't help wondering, 'Andrew said no one would come to his office. But who is this guy? How did he come in?'

She sunk lower on the sofa, trying not to be found.

Luckily, the sofa she was lying on was in line with the one on which Francis was sitting, so if she didn't make any noise, Francis would never find her. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Thanking her lucky stars for not being found, she felt relieved. But the next moment she turned round, she found that a large shining face appeared in front of her.

Staring at him dumbfounded for several seconds, Ashley cried out.

This made Francis cry out too.

Both their cries reverberated through the entire office.

Seconds later, Ashley realized she shouldn't have shouted.

So she punched him on his eye, and stood up, watching his movements warily, "Who the hell are you?"

Seeing that it was a woman, Francis didn't try to defend himself, so he was unprepared and ended up with a shiner on his eye. Now he didn't even care about her watchful gaze.

Putting on his most charming smile, Francis began to introduce himself, "Don't panic, sweetheart. I'm Francis Nan and I'm a gentleman. Could you please tell me why you are here? I don't think you realize

that you can't visit this place randomly. You'll be thrown out, trust me."

Francis was always chivalrous towards women. Besides, he was right. This was Andrew's office and nobody could be in here without his permission. Otherwise, he would throw them out.

Francis thought Ashley was like the other women who wanted to seduce Andrew, so he tried to give her a heads up about his friend.

"Wow, look at you, such a beautiful woman, but I don't think Andrew will be attracted to you. How about this? You can be my girlfriend, and I promise I will pay attention to you. What do you say?" Looking Ashley up and down, Francis couldn't be more satisfied.

As a womanizer who devoted himself to many relationships, Francis met a lot of beautiful women who were pure, enchanting, sexy or coquettish. But none of them could compare with Ashley. She had a sweet temperament, but she looked enchanting, which made it hard for Francis to resist flirting with her.

'Look at her big and intelligent eyes, her jade-like elegant face, and her crystal clear lips. What a sexy stunner!' Francis praised in his mind.

Ashley didn't say anything. It seemed that the man knew Andrew, and that they got along well. She was wondering how to respond to his advances.

She sized him up carefully. The man wore a pink suit, and had smooth, white skin and a beautiful face. Yes, he was so beautiful that people might think "Wow" when they saw him for the first time. Ashley would have almost thought he was a woman if she hadn't seen his flat chest and Adam's apple.

"So dear, what do you think? I suggest you'd better make a decision now. Otherwise, when the poker- faced boss comes back, you'll be so dead," Francis said shamelessly.

Noticing Ashley sizing him up, he flashed his most charming smile and looked at her seductively.

But to Ashley it looked hilarious with the shiner on his eye.

"Haw-haw," Ashley couldn't stop herself from laughing out loud. 'Poker-faced? Did he mean Andrew?' Ashley mused.

Indeed, Andrew seldom smiled, which made the nickname apt.

Francis began to laugh when he saw Ashley cracking up. He said, "I told you. If you say yes to be my girl, I promise he won't dare to hurt you," he began to brag.

"Really?" an intimidating voice said behind him, making Francis nervous.

His smile froze when he heard the familiar voice. Turning away slowly, he looked at Andrew and straightened up. "Well, you're back? Eh, I was joking just now. I know you won't take it seriously, dude. And, this beauty didn't mean to interrupt you. She came here by mistake, so don't throw her out."

Francis still remembered to appeal on behalf of Ashley even though he was unable to fend for himself. This made Ashley dislike him less. She watched him a little longer.

But suddenly her eyes were covered by Andrew. "Don't look at him!" he ordered.

No one knew that Andrew wanted to throw his friend out to the wolves when he heard what he said to Ashley. What a jerk! He dared to flirt with his wife. He even asked Ashley to be his girlfriend! How shameless!

Glaring at Francis who was still in shock, Andrew said severely, "Poker-faced man? Is that what you called me? Huh? Be your girlfriend? Are you serious?"

Francis didn't come to his sense when he found out the truth about Ashley and Andrew's relationship. He felt Andrew's anger. Feeling remorseful, he explained, "Hold on, Andrew. Listen to me. I didn't know she is your girlfriend. Otherwise, I would never say that, you know me, pal.

I will never steal your girl. I swear. By the way, who is she? Is she..." Ogling at Ashley, Francis was stunned.

According to rumors Andrew wasn't interested in women, so who was the girl beside him?
