Helen's eyes narrowed, clearly skeptical.
"See for yourself!" she snapped as she opened her laptop, put it in front of Frank, and played an on-scene interview.
"This is Piers Hershey, reporting live from the scene. I'm with Mr. Terry Cotton, a kind soul who has been helping victims of the Zomber Tower collapse. What do you think about this incident, Mr. Cotton?"
"Oh, it's a tragedy. We're just passing by, but it's only right to help…"
Piers nodded approvingly. "You really are a model citizen of Zamri, Mr. Cotton."
Terry's dramatically tearful reaction left Helen furming. "So what have you been up to again, Frank?!"
"Uh… We were just having tea with Kit Jameson, over a bar grill and stuff—"
Lily the secretary entered just then. "Ms. Lane? A board member of Zomber Group is asking to see you."
Frank sighed in relief and was ready to bail, only for Helen to catch him, snorting. "Don't think you're getting away. You either confess, or this won't be over!"
Seeing Helen's hostile glare, Frank threw his hands up in defeat.
-
"Ms. Lane, Zomber Group has decided to join Lanecorp as a subsidiary, with your company taking over fifty-one percent of our company shares. The agreement drafted by the board members is right here—please take a look."
Helen was sipping tea in an effort to calm down but spat it out straight at the balding man's face when she heard what he said.
And yet…
Staring at Frank, she asked, "Do you know why I'm upset?"
Frank asked in surprise, "Why?"
Helen sighed in exasperation. "I've heard that Zomber Tower was the Bleeders' turf. Don't you think it'd worry me if you went there, when we're in the middle of a blood feud with Zomber Group? I'm worried about your safety."
"Hehe…"
Frank chuckled, scratching his head. "It just happened out of the blue! And don't you have any confidence in your darling? I got you a subsidiary company out of nowhere too!"
