The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1214

Frank then scooped Winter out of the bathtub and placed her on the bed.

He would have left her just like that, but seeing that she was sound asleep and thoroughly soaked, he gave in after a long while of hesitation.

She would definitely catch a cold if she kept sleeping like this, and she would not know anything as she was asleep.

Wiping her down, Frank took her clothes from her wardrobe and helped her get changed.

He did his best not to look, but he saw anyway.

Frank was afraid to stay at Skywater Bay too, since things would get awkward when Winter woke up, which was why he fled Riverton in the night.

The next day, he showed up at Lanecorp's offices in Zamri, punctually reporting in to work.

Still, as the head of Lanecorp's health and security department, he basically had nothing to do.

All of Lanecorp's operations were on the right track, and Helen's safety was assured, so his work right now was to arrange for patrols. Thereafter, he would stay in the office, sipping tea and reading the papers.

Helen was busy in her office, and Frank would not impose unless it was necessary. She was the board chairwoman and a girlboss, but he might inadvertently distract her and inflict losses upon Lanecorp.

Having no interest in causing unnecessary trouble, he would simply stay where she was and wait until Helen came to him if she needed him.

At Zomber Group's offices, Peter Lane was seated gingerly on an armchair, with shock and disbelief showing all over his face as he stared at the morning paper he was holding.

"You little… I told you and Larry that we could never ever sell that land!"

Kit Jameson barked furiously, his face which resembled his brother Larry's contorting as he slammed his hand on his desk, "But you two had to sell it off behind my back!"

Peter pursed his lips miserably. "Who could've known it would happen? It was kept confidential among the Zamri executives—we couldn't have known!"
