Chapter 24 The Date With Ex-Husband


    There was no expression on Francis''s face. He sat in front of Ashley and asked, "why do you want to


    see me? Just tell me."


    "Let''s eat first. I''m hungry." Then she called the waiter over.


    They had eaten together a lot of time when they were in love and knew each other''s tastes well. Ashley


    ordered two crab cakes and a pigeon soup, and then left the rest to Francis. Francis added a steamed


    turbot, a bamboo shoots and a rich man.


    A lightning streaked outside, followed by a loud thunder. After a short while, it began to rain, and the


    raindrops hit the ss window near the table, making the tter sound.


    To improve their rtionship, bad weather like this was very beneficial, because the danger outside


    would urge people toe closer. It was human nature.


    "In fact, I don''t have anything important." Ashley picked up a piece of bread with a fork, dipped it into


    the ice-cream ball and said, "I just want to have a chat with you."


    Ashley had thought about telling Francis that She had framed her up, but Ashley didn''t have any


    evidence. No matter what, She was his fiancee, and she had a history herself, so Francis would not


    believe her. On the contrary, he would think that she was a sinister person. This was more detrimental


    to their rtionship.


    Since the truth hade out, it would not be buried. It was better to wait for the right time to let Francis


    find the truth. At that time, Francis must hate She very much. And if She lost the love of Francis,


    She must be miserable. After all, she cared about Francis so much.


    "Really?" Francis was not interested in her at all. The problem was that he still held a grudge against


    her. It was not easy for him to ept her again.


    "You have a good rtionship with Dn? Why didn''t you know he is your friend before?"


    "We have not gotten in touch with each other for almost two years, and Dn has already taken over


    some business of Hanfu Films. We are just business partners, so we are not even friends."


    "Last time I saw you in the restaurant, were you talking about cooperation?"


    "Yes." Taking a sip of soup, Francis continued, "Dn told me that he had a crush on you."


    "What?" Ashley almost spat out the food in her mouth and wondered what the hell had Dn told


    Francis.


    "Didn''t he tell you?"


    Of course not. How could she believe what Dn said? It must be nonsense. Ashley was confused and


    shocked, "I didn''t know that."


    "Yes. Although Dn is excellent in every aspect, he has a promiscuous private life. I don''t think he can


    trust."


    ''Is Francis showing concern for me?'' Ashley wondered.


    Ashley couldn''t helpughing and chuckled, "okay."


    Francis sat opposite her and was a little lost in her smile.


    After dinner, they went home respectively. Looking back upon the whole meeting, Francis disliked


    Ashley and didn''t want to talk to her. But he was a gentleman and he didn''t embarrass her by


    answering every question. Instead, he asked her some personal questions.

    Overall, the meal was harmonious, it was a good start.


    On the bus home, Ashley remembered what happened just now and called Dn.


    After a long time, he answered, "Hello, Ashley."


    "Were you sleeping just now?" She felt something was wrong with his voice.


    Dn cleared his throat and sat up. "Yes, I slept for a while. Why do you call me?"


    "Tell me, are you telling Francis that you are chasing me?"


    "Oh, you mean this." It was obvious that the woman was ming him. Dn changed his attitude and


    said with a smile, "I said that to make him jealous. It is better for your rtionship."


    "Really?"


    "Right. Men always fight for what they want. The more you are popr, the better he feels about you


    and the more he likes you." Hearing the voice from the other end of the line, Dn could not help but


    ask, "where are you now? It is raining heavily."


    "In the bus."


    "……" Dn kept silent for a few seconds and then asked, "are you so poor? Take a taxi to go home in


    such a bad weather! Why are you taking the bus?"


    "Yeah, I am kind of poor. Since I graduated, my father has stopped offering me living expenses. I


    should make money by myself and be careful not to spend too much."


    Dn had met many rich second generations from wealthy families who was poor, so he didn''t think


    too much about it. He asked, "how do you know that I have said that I want to pursue you? Have you


    met with Francis again in private?"


    "Yes. We had dinner together."


    "Really?" The excitement on Dn''s face brought him back to his senses. "How''s it going?" He asked.


    "As you said, I am ying hard to get. I treated him as a friend and chatted with him. He would answer


    my questions, but his attitude is indifferent."


    "Well, it sounds good. But that is not what I''m talking about ying hard to get. If you want to y hard


    to get, you have to y while you also need to get him." Dn teach her seriously You can''t treat him


    as a friend. Otherwise, he will really think you as his friend then you will cry. You should take him as


    your prince charming. Under this state of mind, you should subtle show your love. "


    "Like what?"


    "Like? It''s too much. Picking food for him, identally fell on him while walking, often care about what


    he''s doing recently. If there''s anything you need to help, ask him... "


    Hearing this, Ashley burst intoughter. "Mr. Dn, if you were a woman, you would be a green tea


    bitch."


    Dn shrugged his shoulders and continued, "it''s called flirt with men, okay? But you know nothing


    about it, how could you win your weirdo sister."


    Hearing She''s name, Ashley couldn''tugh anymore. "Well, if the opportunity is appropriate, I''ll try


    the skill you just said. It''ste now. You should go to bed."


    "Okay, call me if you don''t understand. I''m your think tank."


    "Okay."


    After hanging up the phone, Ashley thought that she had to start from She''s wechat moments to deal


    with her not only focus on Francis.


    Ashley called June, "June, I''ve decided to go to the party you mentionedst time."


    "Really? That''s great! I''ll send you the location and time."


    It was said that She and Francis would also attend the Party of the rich men and women. If Ashley


    went, it would be very lively.


    There was still more than a week left before the party. To buy a dress for the party, Ashley chose a time


    to go shopping in the mall. Her figure was well proportioned, and her skin was white. She almost didn''t


    choose clothes. If it was as efficient as her normally, she could buy it in two stores. On the one hand,


    she had got Francis''s attention. On the other hand, she had to keep a low profile in case she would


    steal the show from the organizers. So she continued shopping in several stores.


    Just then, Ashley ran into Kate by ident in the mall.


    In fact, Kate was from a rich family. Her parents were healthy, and she was their only daughter. It would


    be difficult for her to go shopping in this mall. Besides, themodities here had reached at least four


    figures, if it was a better thing, it had reached at least five figures. It would cost at least one or even


    several months'' sry of a wage earner. .


    Kate was holding several shopping bags on both sides, with her right hand holding a man around 40


    years old. Wearing hat and sunsses, he was apparently unwilling to show his face.


    Kate seemed to feel ted when she saw Ashley, so Kate held the man''s hand and walked towards


    her, "what a coincidence, Ashley. Why do you still go shopping during working hours? Leona is too


    loose about your discipline."


    "You went shopping during working hours, didn''t you?" Said Ashley lightly.


    "How can I be like you?" Kate gave her a scornful nce.


    Ashley didn''t want to talk with her any more. She turned around and was about to leave. How could


    Kate let her go in this way? "Stop, Ashley!"


    "Alfred, look at Ashley. She goes shopping during working hours. What''s the use of a person like her in


    thepany? Fire her!" Kate held the man''s arm, acting like a spoiled child, and looked at Ashley


    proudly.


    Ashley felt deeply sorry for Kate. Carol was right. The biggest sin in the world is not anything else, but


    stupidity.


    It was obvious that Mr. Alfred didn''t want to expose his identity. But Kate was still unting his power in


    front of her colleagues. Ashley couldn''t even look at her. Ashley had to turn around. "Oh, it''s you, Mr.


    Alfred. I didn''t recognize you just now. Are you taking your employees to pick a gift for the customer?"


    "Yes." Mr. Alfred nodded.


    "We didn''t pick a gift for a customer. Alfred bought it for me." Kate corrected Ashley.


    Ashley waspletely silent.


    "I''m telling you Ashley if I want to fire you, I can fire you. You need to be careful in front of me."


    Then, she left with Mr. Alfred.


    However, before Ashley was fired, Kate had bad luck.


    This morning, all the employees were buried in their work. A woman at the door spoke loudly, "who is


    Kate? Come out!"


    Kate was eating sunflower seeds in front of herputer. Now she almost did whatever she wanted in


    the office, and Leona didn''t care about her at all. Kate was pissed off when she heard someone call her


    name impolitely.


    "Who is it? You are so bold. Do you have manner..." Before Kate could finish her sentence, she was


    pped hard in the face.


    "Bitch! You don''t even know me. How can you be a mistress? " Then the woman pped her again.


    Seeing this, other people in the office also came round.


    As Kate''s hair was pulled by the woman, Kate raised her head and said, "who are you? I''m going to call


    the police!"


    "Call the police? How dare you call the police? The police office shall allow a wife to abuse a mistress,


    right? " The woman said, grabbing Kate''s hair and pping her in the face twice.


    The p made Kate dizzy, and she asked, "are you Alfred''s wife?"


    "Yes, I''m his wife. You just know that?" The woman tugged at Kate''s hair and said, "you are a reliable


    employee! You not only serve thepany, but also boss is making love with


    you!"
