Marco had certainly seen through everything.


    The fact that Frank could ess insider information from Zamri City Hall and buy thatnd ahead of time meant he was someone special.


    While Marco finally acknowledged Frank''s abilities, Frank chuckled and pped him on the shoulder. "Alright, alright, I was just messing with you. Your board chairwoman is my wife anyway-mynd is basically hers, see?"


    "Aha... Hahaha... Of course..." Marcoughed along awkwardly.


    By the time Frank and Helen left, his eyes showed profound respect for Frank as he realized Frank was no freeloader.


    Still, it made sense-would Helen really fall for some good-for-nothing?


    Waving away the other employees who had gathered around him to watch, he barked, "What are you looking at?! Well, now you know better than toin about Mr. Lawrence not deserving Ms. Lane during your lunchtime gossip!"


    "Oh, I didn''t expect that... Mr. Lawrence is actually that amazing!"


    "I guess it''s only right, since I don''t think Ms. Lane would just choose some average Joe."


    Even as the voices of disapproval subsided, no one in Lanecorp ever doubted Frank again.


    At the restaurant a block away, Helen was staring fixedly at Frank, giving him the creeps.

    "A-Are you really giving away thatnd to Lanecorp?"


    Was that it?

    "But..." Helen murmured, lowering her head as she blushed, "I called you stupid and whatnot and tried to talk you out of it..." "Don''t worry about it."


    Frank chuckled, shrugging


    innocently. "It''s fate that thend fell into my hands. I asked your mom repeatedly, but she refused to take it. Can''t refuse money falling out of the sky, can I?"


    "Oh, you..."


    Amused, Helen''s lips curled into a bright smile, shaking her head.


    That was when two desk jockeys strode through the front door.


    They immediately saw Helen beaming, and their eyes were glued to her.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    "Oof!"


    "Ow!"


    Both of them mmed into a table since they were too busy admiring Helen''s smile and dropped to the floor right then.


    "Heh..." Frank shook his head and snickered as he watched. "Ms. Lane, you beauty is so devastating that I think you should stay home from now on."


    "What are you saying?" Helen pouted.


    "I mean eh?"


    Before Frank could finish, both his and Helen''s phone rang at the same time.


    Helen had a call from her secretary Lily, while one of Frank''s security team leaders called him.
