Chapter 452 Confrontation
Skylar thought to herself, I knew it. This man definitely has an interest in Agnes. Why should she get to know such a good man? I refuse to allow this to come to fruition!
"Did you say that she always goes out with other men?"
That woman seemed so noble and proud to me. How did it turn out that she secretly likes to go out with other men? I will have to question her properly when she gets back later.
"Ah! H-How could I tell you that?" She lowered her head. A look of nervousness crossed her face as though she had a slip of the tongue earlier. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to talk badly about her behind her back. It's just that the things she does are too excessive. I can't stand watching her do such things, especially since I'm her friend. If possible, please talk to her. Please ask her to stop going out with all those men. Those men don't look like good people. I'm sure they are just lusting after her."
Frank snorted coldly. "I know about that, so you don't need to tell me."
When her kindness was regarded as ill intention, she was so furious that her expression twisted. That woman is the one who made those mistakes. How dare he take his anger out on me instead?
She immediately lost all her goodwill toward the man in front of her.
"There. She's back. She's sitting over at that table." Skylar huffed angrily and pointed at the woman who waltzed in late behind her.
Frank had also lost all desire to speak with this woman. When he turned to look at Agnes, he felt an inexplicable sense of anger burning in his heart when he saw her. He immediately sauntered over, making his presence known. The instant he was right before her, he looked down at her rather imperiously.
"In the end, you couldn't escape me after all."
Agnes never imagined that the man she had tried so hard to avoid would relentlessly track her down. A hint of helplessness crept into her heart. "Didn't I tell you clearly the other day? We're even now."
He leaned against her desk and prevented her from working. "What do you mean by we're even? Nothing will end until I say so."
"How can you be so unreasonable?"
She usually had quite a lot of work on her plate. In addition, she often took on many extra tasks for herself. So, when she realized that she was not going to finish her work before the day was over, she became increasingly anxious. Eventually, she couldn't help reaching out to push him away.
"What are you doing?"
He swiftly changed positions and moved to the side of the table.
"Don't you know that your behavior has severely impacted my work?"
He couldn't care less about her concerns. "This amount of work is nothing. If I am taking up your time, then I can pay you for your time."
"Allow me to repeat myself once more. What I want is to do my job, not your filthy money."
He narrowed his eyes at those words, and a hint of danger entered his voice. "Oh? Are you claiming to be pure and chaste now?"
She had the feeling that she should not waste her time arguing with the man in front of her anymore. Her mind might become as stupid as his if she kept giving him the attention he so desperately craves.
"Excuse me, Mr. I-Don't-Even-Know-Your-Name. I am telling you this for the last time. You are severely impacting my work. Please leave immediately."
Her words were as polite as could be, but her statement annoyed him greatly.
"I've already talked to your boss earlier. She gave me three hours to ask you out."
His response stunned her. When she thought about Elspeth, who was an absolute workaholic, she frowned with displeasure.
"Even if it's a lie, you should at least create a decent one."
How could Elspeth possibly allow him to disturb me during working hours?
It was only at this moment that Frank realized something—he had not introduced himself to her. He stuffed his hands into his pockets, looking like a peacock flexing his feathers. "Do you know who I am?"
She couldn't care less about his identity but wanted him to leave as soon as possible. Hence, she pretended to be patient and asked for his name, "Excuse me, young master. What is your name?"
