If this happened again, Frank might really be unable to hold back-it was sheer torment!
Helen woke up early too and walked to the window, straightening her hair as she watched Frank run laps downstairs.
Her gaze was at once tender, amused, and also disappointed.
Over the next week, Frank was basically staying at Helen’s side at all times, ready to deal with possible attacks and reprisals.
Still, Lanecorp was easier to manage than expected the corruption plaguing the company seemed to be cleared in a week, and various operations were up and running.
As the leader, Helen naturally gained the admiration of all board members and shareholders.
Naturally, it was also thanks to her powerful backer-how could they still stand against her when she could collect a debt from Victorget?
Meanwhile, Kallum was still confined in his own office, the very look of dejection but still refusing to concede defeat.
“Don’t worry, Helen!” Cindy exclaimed smugly as she sat beside Helen in her office. “My darling Will told me that he gave Lanecorp’s tender the highest score. Attending the tender today is just a formality. We’ll definitely get all five land lots!”
“Really?” Helen asked skeptically, glancing at Frank.
He nodded and smiled. “Most likely.”
“Hey!” Cindy pouted unhappily because of Frank. “It’s all thanks to me that we have this in the bag, Helen! Why would you ask him? What would he know?”
Shooting Frank a look of contempt, she muttered under her breath, “Stealing people’s credit and bootlicking… How despicable.”
“Cindy!” Helen snapped, frowning.
“Oh, it’s fine,” Frank said, unconcerned.
In reality, it was thanks to Frank that
Will would secure the bid for Lanecorp-they really stood no chance otherwise, and Helen would be left with a huge mess. S
These days, Will was basically telling Frank everything, including the fact that Kallum had contacted him not to pass the review of Lanecorp’s tender.
Will had agreed to Kallum’s request, but soon after delivered the recording of their conversation to Frank.
Even now, Kallum was convinced that he was going to win.
He was certainly going all out to topple Helen, even promising Will the astronomical sum of 500 million dollars, with 300 million dollars already paid up front. S
Will had no reason to say no, though he soon returned the money to Helen.
Cindy was still smug about that, convinced that it was her accomplishment, bragging about it constantly.
Gina would call Helen, showering praise about how Cindy was smart and competent, leaving Helen exasperated.
She had no idea that Will was helping her because of Frank and really thought that it was all Cindy, which was why she had no excuse to fire her.
As such, she had her secretary from Riverton transfer over to Zamri, which led to the bizarre phenomenon of two secretaries in one office.
If Frank was a secretary too, that would make three.
Helen beckoned at Frank just then. “Come on-the bid is in the afternoon. We should at least show up.”
