Chapter 1045
Gina quickly shook her head. “No… You must have heard wrong.”
She was still afraid of Vicky and had no choice but to smile awkwardly, pulling Cindy along as she fled.
Before they got away, however, Vicky was smiling and beckoning. “Wait. You wanted reservations for the farm resort’s hyper premium experience, didn’t you?”
“Eh?”
Gina promptly turned, nodding and smiling fawningly. “Of course! Oh, you’re as generous as ever, not keeping grudges—”
“Oh, but I’m not finished.” Vicky grinned. “I meant to say that you can attend the auction tonight if you want reservations.” “What?”
“Y-You’re not giving it to us for free?”
Both Gina and Cindy froze, utterly confused.
“Of course not. Just offering some advice, y’know.” Vicky shrugged.
Gina and Cindy realized right then that Vicky was just messing with them. However, they did not dare to say a word and had to leave seething.
“Hahaha…” Vicky was roaring with laughter as she watched them go, wiping a tear off her eye. “Your mother is amazing, Helen!”
“Alright, cut it out.” Frank braced himself and stood between the women, stopping the conflict that threatened to blow. “If Gina wants a reservation that badly, just let her have one. We’re not short on any… That goes for your father too, Vicky. That will do, no?”
Then, turning back to Helen, Frank scratched his nose and said, “Anyway, Vicky and I came because we were worried you’d be too busy. You should get some rest.”
“That’s right. It’d break my heart if you worked yourself to death.” Vicky dramatically wiped the nonexistent tears away from her eyes.
Helen was left gritting her teeth in frustration-she really should not have gone to Morhen and prayed as hard as she could that Vicky ended up marrying Titus Lionheart!
Still, Vicky Strode up and took Helen by the wrist. “Come on, Helen. Tomorrow’s the opening ceremony and you need to look like a CEQ-let’s get you swimsuits from Grande Square!”
“Get your hands off me!” Helen snapped, at once frustrated and exasperated as a beauty like Vicky would get all touchy-feely with her.
Nonetheless, the trio soon left Lane Holdings and drove to Grande Pharma’s specialty store for beachwear.
Frank almost choked as Helen and Vicky pulled open the curtains and revealed their bikinis, despite being one as staunch as him.
Their styles were completely different, but their bikinis accentuated their stunning figures in all their glory.
Frank almost bled from his nose.
“So? Does this look good?” Vicky asked with a wink.
“Y-Yeah…” Frank nodded blankly.
“Hmph.”
Helen was blushing, obviously more conservative than Vicky.
Even as he felt Frank’s eyes scanning her from head to toe, she felt as if she was on fire…
