The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 372

Gina quickly pulled Zeb to sit beside him, "You're finally here, Mr. Larkin. Come, sit."

Cindy and Peter also promptly served him drinks and cigarettes, a privilege Frank never had.

"And you can shove it," Henry snorted impatiently. "I never asked for this—the way I see it, it would have been far better if there wasn't a party at all."

"Oh, would you stop it? We'd be the ones seen in a bad light if we didn't do anything," Gina lectured.

Frank was frowning in turn.

"Did he really book this hall?" he asked suspiciously.

"Who else would have, if not him? You?" Peter shot back.

"The Chief of General Affairs' secretary came to visit us personally. What, are you jealous?" Cindy joined in.

"The Chief of General Affairs' secretary? Do you have his name?" Frank pressed.

"So what if we don't?" Gina stood akimbo, the picture of smugness. "Who could pull strings with the Gerald Simmons aside from Mr. Larkin?"

"Oh, stop it. It's not that big of a deal." Zeb threw up his hands in feigned humility.

Frank turned toward him. "I say, could you tell me more about what you discussed with Mr. Simmons?"
