"Eh?" Frank's creased brow eased right then.
After all, the Martial Alliance branch manager was suggesting that Frank recommend Phoenix directly instead of giving her his.
That would certainly resolve everyone's problem, while Frank would earn a billion dollars that Phoenix had promised.
So, why not?
"In that case…"
Frank turned toward Phoenix and smiled. "After some discussion with the manager, Miss Ardron, it seems that my recommendation can't be given to you."
"Oh… okay," Phoenix replied, still too stunned to be surprised by what Frank said.
"However…"
Frank's tone changed sharply as he smiled, "I can directly recommend you, as representative of Zamri's Martial Alliance branch."
"Huh?!"
"What?"
"Shit!"
Hearing that Frank was directly giving the Martial Alliance's recommendation, everyone who had been zoning out earlier—and even Phoenix—were now at a loss.
"B-But why?" she asked, as Frank was going the extra mile to get her a recommendation.
To her knowledge, things were not amicable between them—one might even call it tense when Frank crippled one of Phoenix's bodyguards.
And minutes later, Frank was getting her the Martial Alliance's recommendation?
"Uh…"
Phoenix was bewildered, staring at Frank but no longer hostilely or derisively.
Even as the thought crossed her mind, Phoenix's heart started to race endlessly.
She slid another glance at Frank's face.
He was not a drop-dead gorgeous hunk that one would spot from a crowd right away.
Instead, he looked just like his personality, plain and discreet, but the more Phoenix looked, the more attractive she found him.
She blushed right then but soon paused.
"What am I thinking? I already have a fiance!"
However, remembering her fiance only left Phoenix's grimacing and exasperated inside.
Her fiance was good to her, but that was entirely hinged on her connection to Cloudnine Sect—she was the intermediary and the reason her fiance could use Cloudnine Sect's influence to become the Hoxton commissioner.
