"Well, we can leave right now if you have nothing else on your plate." "Sure!" Frank nodded-taking part in a meeting was still better than getting eaten alive by the she-wolves of the PR department. "Thank you," Lara said and led Frank out of the office.
"Hmph! What's so impressive about her? She's just a little younger!" Lara's lofty appearance certainly did not sit well with Linda-they were all employees, but she got to hold herself above the rest just because she was prettier?! Soon, Lara took Frank to the Davos Hotel, the biggest hotel in town.
As Lara stopped outside the main entrance, the bellboy hurried to help her open the door and was grinning ear-to-ear when he saw that it was her.
"Long tno see, Ms. Gold. It's been a while." Lara ignored him, however, and passed him the keys before opening the door for Frank. "We're here, Mr. Frankton." Frank nodded. "Let's go." As they entered the hotel, the bellboy was left staring blankly.
Did the ever-prideful Lara just open the door for sman, even addressing him so politely? Could she have switched jobs?! Nheless, Frank and Lara were soon outside a room, and as Lara entered, the man sitting inside narrowed his eyes at her. Puffing on his cigar, he studied her thoroughly before chuckling. "Long tno see, Ms. Gold! That booty is even more bangin' hot now!" While Lara was disgusted by his barenaked harassment, she could not show it, given the situation, and instead turned to Frank. "Allowinstead to introduce you to Lugh Frankton, our new PR manager." en.kikistories "And this Verde Ceres, the board chair of Verde Limited." "PR manager?" But seeing that Verde was so tactless, Frank retorted right then, "Well, I still won't hold a candle to you! How despicable could you be talking to a lady about her body as soon as you see her? And at your age? It really begs the question... Are you on a dry streak lately? en.kikistories Verde was at once furious-he was the one who mocked, and he had certainly never been mocked this badly before! "Know your place, you brat!" he bellowed. "I don't mind telling you-Verde Limited is a big deal even in the city! Even the Jarics and the Ingrams must bow to me! Who do you think you are?" "The one who tells you what to do!" Frank snapped, breaking the plate in front of Verde and flicking a shard, which shot past Verde's left cheek before hitting the wall with a thud! Verde was dumbstruck-he thought he was going to see his dead grandmother for a second! Still, he soon recovered and bellowed, "You've got smoves, kid. I'm impressed, but the times have changed! Your fists decide nothing, and you'll watch as I kill you dead!" "Well, let's see who gets it done faster!" Frank flexed his wrist, ready to give him a beating.
As the atmosphere tensed, Lara quickly cried, "Calm down, both of you! We're here to negotiate—both our reputations will suffer if we end up fighting!" "Quit trying to play this down!" Verde snapped grumpily. "Though I can calm down... if you showa good time!" Seeing Verde's cunning smile, Lara's cheeks flushed but she could not say a word.
Verde chuckled in turn. "What, are you refusing me? You need to understand-Verde Limited is an important client of the Turnbulls in Shagan! You will all pay if you insult us!"
