The private room turnedpletely silent.
Earlier, the girls were slightly convinced that Frank could write a rmendation letter so that they would have a shot at getting an internship at Zamri Hospital. But now, he was also saying that he would help Winter get appointed as the chief of that hospital, and that he and Gene Pearce agreed to that?
Everyone knew that Gene was the richest man of the east coast, and Frank would say that he and that man discussed and agreed to let Winter be chief?!
Who did he think he was, swaying Gene''s decisions?!
It was no longer a joke at that point-just fiction.
Yew did not even bother mocking Frank at that point. Keeping a straight face, she picked up her handbag and got to her feet, "Keep listening to him brag all you want. I''m leaving-I don''t have the time to waste here."
Two other girls followed suit, holding no hopes toward Frank at all.
In their mind, Frank must be crazy for saying something like that, and anything else would just be a waste of time like Yew said.
Frank nodded and smiled as he watched them leave-it made sense for them to think of it that way, especially when he was just wearing an ordinary suit that was at best worth a few grand.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
There was nothing about him that screamed money or showed his social standing, not to mention that he came alone.
And without any bodyguards or other bigwigs nking him, Frank certainly did not sound convincing.
Still, he did not stop Yew and the
two girls since he had no sinister et
intentions with them-they could leave all they wanted since they did
not believe him.
Watching as they left, Winter quickly asked, "Are you being serious, Frank? Even if you are, I''m....."
"Oh, silly Winter..."
Tina, who was usually friendly with Winter, got to her feet as well, shaking her head in exasperation. "It''s not like we refuse to believe Professor Lawrence, but what he said is just ridiculous, and
Tina could not find other words to say and merely turned to nod politely at Frank, sighing. "Thanks for saving us, Professor Lawrence, but I''ve decided to rely on myselfand start from the bottom."
And with a bow, she left with her friends.
"Hehe..."
Frank could tell that Tina and her friends were not like Yew''s clique, who were ready to trade favors with their upperssmen. Tina and her friends actually found it uneptable, even deciding to start from the bottom.
And Frank appreciated that attitude.
As he watched them leave, he said quietly, "Stay in touch with Winter. She can arrange an internship for you at Zamri Hospital."
Tina said nothing. She simply waved at Frank in acknowledgment, but she obviously did not hold out hope.
