    Im guessing heined about me to Cedric and you? He didntin because I wouldnt let him speak ill of you, Francesca answered awkwardly.


    He just asked if you were the reason I wouldnt be with himf, and what our rtionship was like. Andrew found himself momentarily at a loss for words.


    Looking at Francescas innocent face, he smiled and asked, So what do you think about all this? Francesca stammered, caught off guard by his directness.


    W What do you mean? Im asking what you think about the situation


    We could use this to help solve your problem with Simon, Andrew rified with a gentleugh. 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.


    Andrew exined carefully, You misunderstand.


    Im not asking if you have feelings for me.


    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.


    Francesca nodded eagerly, saying, Go on! Youre much smarter than me; surely you great idea.


    have a Andrew replied, You can tell Simon that you and I are seeing each other, and that Mr. Aicker approves.


    He might be angry at first, but having no hope might help him move on.


    Francesca pretended to re at Andrew.


    Why do I feel like youre taking advantage of this situation? Andrew quickly backtracked.


    If you feel that way, just forget I suggested it! 1 Then, Francesca broke into a smile.


    No, I think its a good n.

    Im d I could help ! Francesca looked at him with a gentle gaze.


    Andrew, thank you.


    You really are kind.


    I was feeling down earlier, but talking with you has brightened my mood.


    Andrew joked lightly, My help usuallyes with a price, you know.


    To his surprise, Francesca puffed out her chest, her tone both bold and yful.


    Fine! Go ahead and name your price and III see to it that yourepensated.


    III even let Lauren know Im giving it to you willingly.


    I promise not toin or cause any trouble, and III 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.
