The fact that Frank could access insider information from Zamri City Hall and buy that land ahead of time meant he was someone special.

"Aha… Hahaha… Of course…" Marco laughed along awkwardly.

By the time Frank and Helen left, his eyes showed profound respect for Frank as he realized Frank was no freeloader.

Still, it made sense—would Helen really fall for some good-for-nothing?

Waving away the other employees who had gathered around him to watch, he barked, "What are you looking at?! Well, now you know better than to complain about Mr. Lawrence not deserving Ms. Lane during your lunchtime gossip!"

"Oh, I didn't expect that… Mr. Lawrence is actually that amazing!"

"I guess it's only right, since I don't think Ms. Lane would just choose some average Joe."

Even as the voices of disapproval subsided, no one in Lanecorp ever doubted Frank again.

"A-Are you really giving away that land to Lanecorp?"

Was that it?

Frank smiled in wry amusement, since Helen had been staring at him since they left the office.
