Ellie had written every single detail of their income and expenses in the notebook.
As it was the end of the month, they were carefully reviewing the accounts.
"Money for flour..."
"Wait, Ellie. How did we get this money?" Ashley asked.
Ellie glanced at the notebook and said, "It is the profit on April 10th. I went to L City and asked you to write it down. Did you forget?"
"Well, it looks like my handwriting. There are too many items, so I think I mixed up," Ashley murmured to herself.
They finished checking the accounts within an hour as Ellie was always thorough and accurate in her work.
"Uh, Ellie. I guess we are rich women now," Ashley said suddenly.
"Why?"
"Look." Ashley showed Ellie the figure she just calculated. "After subtracting the money for the ingredients and employees' salaries, we still have twenty thousand left."
"Well done! We have earned more money than we did in the Luo Group."
"Yes." Ashley nodded in agreement.
She stood up and stretched. Suddenly she realized it was already afternoon and she was hungry.
"Ellie, what are we having tonight?"
"You can check in the refrigerator if there is anything to eat. Otherwise we'll need to go to supermarket," replied Ellie while she gathered her things.
"Okay," said Ashley and ambled off to the kitchen.
She opened the refrigerator and found that there was nothing they could have for dinner. "It looks like we'll have to go shopping as there's nothing left in the fridge," she said.
"Ding-dong," went the doorbell.
Ellie was in the bedroom, so Ashley went to answer the door.
She wondered who it could be.
When she opened the door, she saw a man in a pink business suit. The man was about 1.80 meters tall. He supported his head
ndrew had passed his affection to Ellie. How ridiculous I was!'
he reflected.
"Ashley, I'm trying to woo Ellie. Please help me," he pleaded meekly.
"You are interested in Ellie?" Ashley still didn't believe him.
"Yes!" He nodded his head eagerly.
"Ashley, don't listen to him. I have never met him before." Ellie, who was standing beside her, exposed his lies without mercy.
"How can you say that? I drove you to the bakery last time," he said in an attempt to defend himself.
"You were just as bold as crass that time, and I didn't ask you to do that," said Ellie curtly.
"Irrespective of that, I did drive you to work last time, so we do know each other," he replied.
"It's irrational," Ellie still tried to counter him.
Looking at them, Ashley thought they might suit each other. 'They can get along with each other for a short period. I will ask Andrew about Francis when he comes back. It's important to ascertain whether Francis deserves Ellie or not.'
It was the first time Ashley saw Ellie arguing with a man like this.
"Well, Ellie. You can let him in." He was Andrew's friend after all, and it would be impolite to drive him away.
