Winter smiled awkwardly. “I guess…”
She had no idea what Frank’s specific occupation was, but she was sure that he was someone very important.
That was when the girl sitting beside Jean snorted in disdain, and Frank noticed her hair was permed thoroughly.
“What’s so impressive about owning a company? Zeb’s family owns one two,” Aria said, before turning to the boy with them. “Right, Zeb?”
“Oh, that’s my parents‘ accomplishment,” Zeb Larkin said humbly. “I can’t take credit for it.” Aria was fawning all over him nonetheless. “You’re a single child–your parents‘ may well be yours.”
Zeb smiled before nudging Frank again. “Come on. Let’s trade seats.”
Frank had actually forgotten about that for a moment.
He was perfectly fine with sitting anywhere since the youngsters were all classmates.
But once again, Winter caught his wrist before he could get up.
“Frank, you can sit right here,” she said before turning toward Zeb. “It’s been a while since Frank and I met, and we’d like to catch up. You can sit over there.”
“Oh, okay.” Zeb pursed his lips, but had no choice but to agree to Winter’s request despite his discontent.
Frank watched as various expressions alternated over Zeb’s face, and more or less had an idea just then.
The boy must be an admirer of Winter’s, though it made sense since she was the prettiest amongst the three girls here and had an admirer or two.
“Thank you so much for all you’ve done.” Winter was smiling. “There’s no one threatening us for protection money anymore, and my mom’s business is booming.”
“That’s great.” Frank nodded. “But if anyone bothers you again, just call the number I gave you.”
“Okay,” Winter nodded, hesitating for a long while and rubbing her sleeves. “By the way, will you be free next week?”
“Why?” Frank asked in curiosity.
“It’s my
birthday,” Winter said. “Do you think you can make it?”
Frank certainly would not say no to that he would make time if he had to!
“Of course,” he replied right away. “Just send me the location and I’ll be there.
“Okay!” Winter nodded chipperly.
The concert began soon after, and Noel took to the stage.

The cheers from the crowd was endless, and it was a dynamic performance.
Winter and her friends were soon all engrossed, while Frank also closed his eyes to enjoy the
music.
There was certainly a reason Noel made it big–her voice was ethereal and serene, and even Frank could forget his troubles as he listened to her song.
After a long while, Noel’s concert was finally over.
As Frank stretched his back, Winter sighed in melancholy. “It’s over already..
Frank checked his watch–the concert had gone on for four hours, and it was already 11 PM!
Jean was sighing too. “Shame we can’t get Noel’s autograph.”
Winter shrugged. “Only the front–row audience gets some personal time with her. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves…”
Frank noted their mournful looks and asked, “You want Noel’s autograph?”
“Of course. Who wouldn’t?” Jean replied.
Frank rose to his feet. “Then come with me. I’ll ask her.”
Winter was shocking. “R–Really?”
