Frank was staying at Turnbull Estate over the next couple days.
He taught Kat martial arts whenever he had the time, basically treating her as his apprentice, even teaching her the full version of the Five-Peat Archaeus.
It was only by bing stronger that she would be able to protect herself, or even help Frank protect the others.
Kat did not let him down either-the spiritron vein she embodied was really powerful, skyrocketing from a mere initiate to a peak vigor wielder in a day.
Being up against the thugs before would be less taxing now-she was even formidable thanks to Frank''s training and the Five-Peat Archaeus.
Naturally, aside from training, Frank did not forget to take Vicky out for walks, admiring the scenery.
Vicky even called Helen just to brag, brazenly describing in vivid detail a blow-by-blow ount of the fictional romp she had with Frankst night, that even Frank had to stop himself from lying. Helen was left stammering, "A-Are you just messing with me, Vicky?"
"Who knows?" Vicky shed a mischievous smile, clearly allowing Helen''s imagination to run wild.
While Helen stubbornly refused to believe Vicky, Helen sneakily called Frank at two in the morning the next day.
"What are you doing?" she demanded as soon as he answered.
"Uh... Sleeping?"
Frank was puzzled, since he was just training. "What are you doing up thiste?"
"I... ahem."
Helen was suddenly stuttering, even changing the subject. "Where''s Vicky? Is she there with you?"
The question reminded Frank about Vicky''s cunning smile earlier in the day after calling Helen and her warning. "Darling, if Helen calls tonight to ask if I''m with you tell him I am and just fall asleep."
Frank was puzzled at that time, but he wasughing now as he realized what was happening instantly.
Thesedies'' rivalry was getting so fierce that Vicky could now anticipate Helen''s moves!
"O-Oh, her...?"
Frank deliberately pretended to stammer, since he wanted to tease Helen just to see how she reacts. "She just fell asleep." "What..."
Frank could hear the phone
dropping on the other end, but it was
quickly picked up as Helen asked
urgently, "But nothing happened, right?"
"Uhhhh..." Frank deliberately trailed off.
Helen was immediately panicking, even breathing heavily right then.
"I''ming over right now!" she snapped, hanging up and clearly determined to travel to Morhen in the middle of the night.
Knowing that the joke got out of hand, Frank quickly called Helen again and exined everything Vicky did.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
Helen was stumped and speechless.
"I-I hate you all!" she snapped as she hung up spitefully, leaving Frank holding his phone alone in confusion.
To think the great girlboss of
Lanecorp and an ice queen at that was left sleepless just from something Vicky said, even calling to verify it.
