Chapter 125
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage
nk was taken aback that he would ask about that.
After musing to himself for a moment, Frank said, âHer family aims to be an elite dynasty in Riverton.
Since Iâm not of help, itâs only natural she divorced me.â
There was nothing worth hiding about that, just as anyone interested would find out how Gina belittled him to no end.
âWhat? That family is really blindâ¦â Dan sighed emotionally.
And here he thought it was some complicated issue between him and Helen⦠to think that the Lanes thought so little of Frank!
Beside them, Janet nodded repeatedly.
Then, Dan stroked his beard and said, âWell, now that youâre divorced, Mr. Lawrence, donât you think itâs time to think about your future? I know several successful ladies myself, and I wouldnât mind giving an introduction if youâre willing.â
Janet nodded repeatedly again, smiling as she asked, âDo you have a type, Mr. Lawrence?â
Frank did a double take.
His type?
To be honest, he had no idea he was merely following his mentorâs instructions to marry Helen before his passing.
By 19 Janet then asked mysteriously, âA strong, independent woman like Ms. Turnbull, perhaps?â
Frank smiled and shook his head. âWe are just partners, nothing more.â
He had saved her life, and she helped him gather medicinal ingredients in return.
As for her repeated attempts to flirt with him⦠she was just using him to break off her engagements.
âIf I had to choose, all Iâd like is to return home,â Frank said. âIâll be a store owner, living life without worries.â
âMake it an apothecary,â Janet suggestedâthat way, she could be his assistant.
As Frank turned toward her, she explained, âIâI mean, you have talent in that field.â
âMaybe. Iâve yet to make up my mind, actually.â Frank smiled Dan chuckled. âYouâre still young, Mr. Lawrence. You have plenty of time, so thereâs no need to get ahead of yourself. Come, letâs have a toast.â
The trio continued chatting for a while, but Dan had to give up since Frank had no intention of marrying.
Frank was still groggy early the next morning as he got out of bed and went to work.
It seemed that he had a proper job nowâ¦
Still, as he arrived outside Grande Corp, he was staring as Peter alighted from an Audi.
With that suit and neatly combed hair, one would believe he was a CEO if they did not know better.
âPeter?â Frank frowned. âWhat are you doing here?â
Peter promptly shot Frank a look of contempt in turn. âIâm starting work here.â
âStarting work.â
âIâm now Ms. Turnbullâs personal consultant,â Peter said, straightening his tie. âYour days are numbered, manwhore. And I still remember our grudge from before!â
Frank realized with a start. âSo youâre the one Greg Marsh was talking about?â
âOh, youâre actually well informed.â Peter snorted smugly.
Frank chuckled. âI think you should run.â
He understood nowâso that was why Dan and Janet were dressed so formally yesterday. They must be discussing an engagement!
