No one would have expected Frank to be so daring as he did something like that in broad daylight. Lily grabbed his wrist with one hand and twisted it with all her might.
"6ah!' It was so painful that Frank cried out. However, he remained rooted on the spot.
Lily blundered because she forgot that foreigners had different physiques, as Frank's wrist was thicker. In contrast, her strength was little, so all she could do was twist his hand without breaking his wrist.
Unbeknownst to Lily, she had ignited Frank’s desire to retaliate. There was a look of excitement in his blue eyes as he said, "What a wild and beautiful woman. I must say that I like you a lot."
"A*shole!" Lily spat and kicked his lower abdomen.
This time, Frank was ready. He took a quick step backward to dodge and reached out to grab her leg so he could position himself for the next move. However, he did not anticipate that although he caught Lily’s leg, he could not handle her strength and flew backward.
Bang!
He landed heavily on the floor, followed by crip cracking sounds. This time, he broke his wrist.
"Ouch! You..."
Frank opened his eyes wide and could not believe it as he looked at Lily. He wondered if he was mistaken.
'Did this weak and gentle woman toss me flat on the ground? She looked like she would have trouble carrying two pails of water, so how did she twist me so hard that she broke my wrist?!'
Frank was the one who provoked Lily first, and they were the only two people there. There was no third party, so Frank wondered if Lily had proper training.
Lily no longer felt like paying any attention to him. She planned to walk straight past that trash of a man and leave this place when she heard him call out to her, "Please wait!"
She did not intend to stop at first, but since Frank was more respectful and even used the word "please,” Lily stopped and coldly turned to him. She was speechless because he had asked her a stupid question. However, Lily regretted stopping and wanted to leave again.
"You don't know who I am, but I know who you are," Frank called out from behind her. "I know you're good at creating fragrances. Previously, you tinkered around at the perfume department at MN Inc. and nearly caused them to collapse. You are capable, unlike Melanie.”
At the mention of her old friend, Lily stopped again. She turned around and looked at him. "What are you trying to say?"
He kept beating around the bush, and surely it was not so that he could childishly waste time?
"Hehe." Frank took two steps forward and squeezed out a smile despite the pain. He overestimated his charm. "But as a perfumer, what is the point of being capable if you don't know how to be flexible and accommodating?
"Even if you are talented and capable, so what? You have not made an impact over the recent few years. In the end, somebody else got credit for all your hard work." Frank slowly approached Lily as he spoke.
