Chapter 197
“Of course, Mr. Lawrence. Please enjoy yourself—I shan’t impose now.” Bravo grinned as he led his goons away.
Just then, Vicky glanced at the gold card Frank was holding. “So, you’re really taking the gold card? Thinking about sharing a bed tonight, perhaps?”
Frank waved her off. “What are you talking about? You know he wouldn’t have left if I didn’t take it.”
“Tch.”
Vicky clicked her tongue and pouted. “That reminds me–when did you save Kurt Stinson’s life?”
“It’s been a while,” Frank replied quietly. “Ran into him and Bravo at Flora Hall and just helped out a little.”
As Vicky nodded thoughtfully, Noel spoke up just then. “Thank you so much for the save, sir. I’m Noel York–may I have the pleasure of your name?”
“Frank Lawrence.”
Frank rubbed his chin as he studied her just then. “Are you perhaps an actress, Ms. York?”
“Oh! Didn’t you just win the best actress award in Draconia?” Vicky exclaimed with a start, recalling a film Noel starred in.
Noel smiled and nodded. “Yes, I did.”
Vicky promptly whipped out a pen. “I didn’t know I’d be encountering a star when I left the house today… Here, you can autograph my dress.”
Frank stared at Vicky as she chattered excitedly just like a fangirl, her usual sense of
superiority gone with the wind.
Noel naturally did not refuse and signed Vicky’s dress.
After that, Frank asked, “Why were those men after you, Ms. York?”
“Oh…” Noel sighed. “There are times when one has no say in their own situation.”
Taking out two business cards and handing them to Frank and Vicky respectively, she said, I’ll be going now since I have something else to do. If either of you are interested in movies, call my personal number anytime–I can bring you on a stroll around the studios.”
“Woah… Thank you!” Vicky exclaimed, getting an idea as she stared at Noel’s business card.
They could have her endorse the Rejuvenation Pill once it hit the market!
On the other hand, Frank was less than interested but took the business card out of politeness.
After Noel left, Frank headed back to Skywater Bay to rest, but Vicky insisted on coming along.
As they headed to his hilltop mansion together, she entered his bedroom and threw herself on his large bed, rolling around as she purred, “Honestly, this place is so much bigger than my family’s villa–I’m staying here tonight.”

“You could do that without sleeping in my bed,” Frank pointed out.
“What, do you have something to say?” Vicky demanded, frowning.
Frank shrugged. “Nope, you can stay here, I’ll use the guest room.”
“Don’t go,” Vicky purred, catching him by the wrist. “I saw you ogling Ms. York just now.”
“Is there a person who doesn’t admire beauty?” Frank admitted.
“What about me?”
Vicky started to undo her collar button, baring her smooth, fair shoulders.
Frank glanced at it for a moment but turned away. “Forget it.”
“Hey! Am I that unattractive?” Vicky growled.
Even if she was no beauty in his eyes, she was at least not ugly, just as there were countless men interested in her.
Frank was perhaps the only man who never took her charms seriously.
“You are attractive,” Frank replied. “But I’d rather not be treated as your human shield.”
He really hated being harassed.
Moreover, if he really started dating Vicky, it would not just be Turnbulls, for even Vicky’s fiance would come with a bone to pick.
Vicky raised her foot in the air just then, allowing her slipper to dangle from the tip of her toes.
“In that ease, would you marry me if I were not engaged?”
Frank thought about it for a while. “Maybe.”
