Chapter 332
Ava tilted his head and pretended to be angry as she sat in the front passenger seat. Her little head was tilted as she looked at the scenery outside the window.
She said nothing.
The car suddenly stopped on the right and switched on the hazard lights. After the vehicle stopped, Ava turned around. awkwardly to look at Frank. She glanced at Frank without blinking.
The next second, Frank grabbed onto the back of Ava’s head and kissed her delicate red lips. His actions were so fast that Ava did not have time to react. She was dumbfounded.
“Are you angry?” Frank asked patiently as he pressed his forehead against hers.
Ava’s face was blushed. Of course, it was not from the sun but from embarrassment. She lowered her gaze to look at the car’s driver and muttered, “No.”
Frank continued to ask, “Then why aren’t you saying anything?”
Ava was not someone who would hide her thoughts. She did not lie either and said, “Trn just a little unhappy. You’re my boyfriend, but my love rival just confessed to you. I detest it. I don’t like this feeling”
The warm breath he exhaled landed on her face. It was hot, and her ears turned even redder. Frank noticed it and slowly retreated.
Frank grabbed Ava’s hand with one hand and hold it in his palm as if he was afraid of losing her. He explained, I already fired her before you woke up. I originally wanted to fire her last night”
“Originally… Then why today?” Ava thought. She remembered that Lily had shirked the responsibility to her this morning. thinking that she made Frank fire her.
Ava would not do such a thing. She was a forthcoming person who would not do anything behind people’s backs.
Frank, who could read minds, automatically inferred from Ava’s question and continued, “Because you’re here. I was too surprised.”
“What?” Ava, who was immersed in his thoughts, did not understand Frank’s answer.
A few seconds later, she finally understood.
Ava’s face flushed, and she was happy. Ava was someone easy to coax. Lily insisted that Frank didn’t know how to humor her. Wasn’t Frank coaxing her?
Seeing the smile on Ava’s face, Frank instinctively knew that she was in a good mood. He held her hand tightly and asked. “Where do you want to go? 1le would accompany her today.
She raised her head and thought for a while. She had never been to her sister’s hospital before and said, “Can I go to the hospital to look for my sister?”
Frank raised his left hand to look at his dark blue wristwatch. It matched the light blue bracelet on Ava’s wrist very well. He stared at the watch and charismatically said, ‘It’s 9:30 now. She should be knocking off at 11:30. I take you to Lithern Club to take a look. I’ll send you to the hospital when she’s almost done with work.”
“Well, haven’t I seen where you work yet? Ava thought.
Along the way, the little girl chattered non-stop. Frank did not find it annoying at all. Instead, he enjoyed it. She asked one question after another and kept chatting away.
“Frank, do you think many people like you? It doesn’t bother me. Many in our school like me,” Ava said. “We’re even on that front. We’re evenly matched, I guess. But you can’t go overboard.”
Frank seemed like he was listening to a song. Occasionally, he would smile and reply. “Yes, I won’t.”
“If they fall for you, they probably have good taste too because my Frank is very handsome, right?” Ava asked.
Frank continued to answer. “Yes”
‘Frank, why aren’t you staying with your parents?”Ava asked.
This question made Frank think for several seconds before he replied, “To be closer to Lithern Club,”
Ava was convinced. “Alright.”
“Can I ask you one last question?” Ava continued.
Frank chuckled. He had to answer no matter how many questions she had. He responded, “Sure.”
“You installed all the computer programs in Lithern Club, right? Why didn’t you admit it back then?” She remembered Frank telling her that they were merely friends.
Frank squeezed her fingers and rubbed them for a while before saying, “Tm afraid I’ll scare you”
Then can infer you fell in love with me at first sight? Ava asked. Ava was in high spirits following her analysis.
If Frank said yes, it meant she didn’t have a crush. It was a two-way relationship. Thinking that way lifted her spirits.
Frank replied, “Yes, you’re right.”
Ava wanted to ask more, but the car had already stopped at Lithern Club. When she came last night, it was already at night, so she could not see the entire entertainment club in detail. Now, she could see it clearly.
The clubhouse and the architecture itself were the epitome of luxury. There was a smell of money everywhere. It was the spendthrift cave of the rich. After coming out of the car, Ava stood at the clubhouse entrance and looked for a minute. No one knew what she was thinking
The first place Ava had gone to after landing at Athana was Lithern Club. She did not know that the club was this big. Didn’t it seem very chaotic and awkward that night?
Ava was speechless.
Frank, who could always read the room, saw through Ava’s gaze. He held her hand and led her straight into the clubhouse. “Nothing happened when you came to look for me. I just changed the starting piece for everyone
“Alright,” Ava said. She knew that Frank was comforting her
The clerks and managers of Lithern Club were so shocked to see their boss entering with a beautiful girl that their jaws dropped. Even the cleaning lady wanted to approach them and ask for the details.
The cleaning lady had indeed stepped forward. Although Frank did not talk much at the club, he was well-liked. Perhaps it was because of his good looks. Even the cleaning lady could not help but feel anxious about his relationship status. He was still single at such an old age.
Several times, the cleaning lady had kindly introduced him to girls while cleaning the office. She was worried sick about Frank’s singleness. However, Frank always said lightly, “No need”
After every incident, the auntie would shake her head and leave. She felt it was a pity that such a young man was still single at almost thirty.
“Mr. Roberts, is this your girlfriend? She’s so good-looking. She looks like she just came out from a painting. No wonder you didn’t want me to introduce girls to you. I wouldn’t have liked anyone else with such a good-looking girlfriend. This is great. You have good taste. The both of you are a good match”
The cleaning lady was enthusiastic. After working for Lithern Club for so many years, she felt that Frank was a quiet but kindhearted person. She spoke more to him since she was older.
Frank admitted in front of everyone. “Yes, she’s my girlfriend.”
This made Ava embarrassed, but she remained polite as usual. She waved her hand to greet everyone present. As she had waved too much, the bag on her left shoulder fell onto the ground. Frank quickly took it down and held it in his hand. He was smooth in his actions.
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Frank led Ava into his office. As soon as the door closed, the crew exploded in excitement. Everyone was talking about the boss’s girlfriend.
After entering the office, Ava sat down on the sofa. Frank placed her bag on the side and asked, “Do you want something to
drink?”
“No, can look around?” Ava asked.
“Sure,” Frank said.
Ava was a naturally curious person, and she was not someone who could sit still. In the end, Frank became a tour guide and brought her around the entire Lithern Club This time, he brought her to the boxing arena.
Ava was stunned when she saw all the different gloves and helmets. She was like a curious cluld as she touched them one by one. Ava asked, “Did you buy these? Do you like riding and boxing? But I don’t know any of these.”
Frank just quietly accompanied the little girl. He stood at the side with his hands in his pockets and said, “I’ll take you for a ride. You don’t need to know boxing”
