“Pfft…”
Cindy was the first to break the silence, sneering at Frank as she asked sarcastically, “Are you alright, Frank? Do you need to get your brain checked? The richest man on the east coast would just hand over tracts of land to a nobody like you, just because you asked… What, are you his son, grandson, or perhaps… lover?”
Frank did not bother responding to her insults. Instead, he calmly turned toward Helen and said, “Don’t worry. The issue is settled-we just have to go to Drenam Limited tomorrow with the transfer agreement.’ “Really…?” Helen was caught off guard by the abrupt news and unsure how she should react.
After all, she was despairing… only to feel hope now.
It was certainly a rollercoaster of emotions, and she was certainly overwhelmed, pressing a hand over her chest.
“Of course.” Frank grinned. “When have I ever lied to you?”
“Frank, y-you’re so… so…” Helen could not find the words to describe how she felt. Beaming in delight right then, she threw herself into Frank’s arms without a care!
Frank patted her on the back, chuckling. “Just call me darling if you’re feeling grateful.” “Darling! Darling! Darling!!!” Helen exclaimed on top of her lungs right then, euphoric.
The Lanecorp staff were left trading glances around them.
Though it had just been a few days since Helen started working for them, they had the impression that she was a successful girlboss-an ice queen.
But it turned out she could actually react like this, and to a man at that…
All at once, most of the men could feel their hearts breaking and shot Frank’s glare of jealousy.
Naturally, jealousy soon turned into

On the other hand, the girls were as worshipful toward Frank as they were troubled.
That was when Cindy swore under
her breath, “Hah! You’re really one to

Naturally, Frank heard that, and he had enough of Cindy since she had been causing trouble for a while now.
And seeing that Helen still had a reputation to maintain, he turned to Will instead, whispering into his ear, “Don’t you think your girlfriend is out

Will did a double take, but he soon understood Frank’s meaning.
He strode up to Cindy, grabbing her by the collar and bellowed, “Crazy bitch! I’m done with you!”
Smack!
Smack!
Will slapped her twice and left her floored, while she dropped on her bottom, dumbfounded.
Did her darling just slap her?!
“We’re done now, Cindy Zonda. Do whatever you like I’m not cleaning up after you!” Will bellowed and strode off.
Cindy was left staring as he left, the words in her mind somehow not coming to her mouth.
