Noel was left stunned by Frank''s suggestion, since she never thought that Frank had the confidence to


    square off against the Soranos.


    What was more, he was already an enemy of the Lionhearts!


    Frank, however, paid her stare no attention as he continued nning. "So, I''ll be building a biological


    preserve in the outskirts of Riverton, which can double as a film set with a star actress like you


    endorsing it. I''ll also put money into making a film with you, some of which you could film at my resort.


    You could be doing stuff like tending to the farm and the like—stuff to make you appear no different


    from themon man. It''s a lot of work, but we''d be drawing in tour groups and tourists with more


    humble circumstances..."


    Frank''s mind went into overdrive as he borated on all the ideas he had.


    Noel''s eyes lit up in turn, and when Frank was done, she had to admit that he had business acumen.


    A humble farm resort,bined with Draconia''s top star actress, somehow did not appear to be a bad


    idea.


    Still, Noel pointed out an issue. "Mr. Lawrence. Are you really going to fight against the Soranos for my


    sake?"


    She was wondering if Frank was no different from the Soranos and wanted her body too!


    "For your sake?" Frank appeared puzzled but soon chuckled. "I''m sure you misunderstood, Ms. York—


    helping you and having you endorse my resort farm are two sides of the same coin, and said coin is


    going to be beneficial in every way. That''s why I asked to see you in the first ce, see?"


    Frank''s smile left Noel freezing, and a curious sensation welled up within her.


    She stared nkly at Frank for a long while, not even noticing that she was doing it until Burt called out


    to her.


    She blushed as she came to her senses, while Burt patted his chest audibly. "Since Brother Lawrence


    is set on helping you, you can hand over the recording to me. Don''t worry—the Soranos won''t be able


    to acquire Lycoris Entertainment as long as I''m around."


    However, Noel''s brain was already mush, and she handed him her recorder without thinking.


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Still, worry showed on her face after Burt left, and she asked Frank under her breath, "Mr. Lawrence.


    Who actually is that officer?"


    "Oh, him?" Frank chuckled. "People have always called him the top inspector of Riverton. Don''t worry


    — he''s capable of handling this much."


    "What? The top inspector?!" Noel eximed in shock.


    How many other bigwigs like Burt was Frank was acquainted with if he knew even the top inspector?


    And given the way Burt spoke around Frank... It was clear that Burt regarded Frank''s orders like a


    subordinate.


    "Oh, it''s really no big deal. Don''t worry, Ms. York—no one will dare threaten you now," Frank smiled,


    and thought of a new title for Noel. "You will now work for Lane Holdings as the head of the Lane


    Entertainment division."


    With the business out of the way, Frank and Noel continued drinking away happily.


    She had already thought highly of Frank when she endorsed Grande Pharma, and now, she was


    further impressed.


    She actually felt a tingling emotion she never felt toward anyone before. to the point that when she got


    tipsy, she happily epted Frank''s offer to drive her home.
