    Francesca turned away , pretending to look at the riverside scenery to hide her flustered expression .


    Her heart was racing as she tried to calm her breathing .

    In fact , I have an idea that might help stop Simon from pursuing you .


    Francescas eyes lit up with curiosity .


    Tell me ! If it can help me deal with Simon , Id be so grateful .


    Andrew hesitated before continuing , Hear me outpletely before deciding .


    Its just a temporary solution .

    I promise not toin or cause any trouble , and Ill even pur it in writing and sign it ! Andrew nearly spat out his coffee .


    He could not help but think to himself : It was not the innocent looking ones with killer curves you should fear it was the ones who yed coy and knew exactly what they were doing .


    The evening breeze swept across the riverside , bringing with it a refreshing mist from the water .
