Chapter 1799
Frank raised a brow and flashed a provoking smile. "I've always been forward, haven't I?'
"Tch."
Vicky rolled her eyes, clearly skeptical.
Still, seeing that the others were in the hotel, she turned serious as she turned to Frank. "By the way, I'm here for business too."
Frank's heart seemed to stop at her serious stare. "Really? What business?"
"It's about a spiritron vein..."
Vicky sighed lengthily, shaking her head. "My family's spiritron vein... is missing."
"Missing?!"
Frank was stunned. "How?"
Vicky shrugged. "That's exactly what I asked Uncle Glen, but it seems that a family executive was unhappy with the plan to reintegrate the branch families, so he sneaked into our family's ancestral shrine and stole it." Frank was speechless. "Wait, was there no security? Where were the blackguards? Is your family really just going to watch someone steal something so important?!"
"You're wrong there, darling."
Vicky shook her head at Frank's exclamation. "For us Turnbulls, what's most important isn't the spiritron vein but our business. If anything, we can even give away the spiritron vein for the sake of our business." Frank was left speechless for a long while, though he could only be amazed that the Turnbulls were ready to sell the spiritron vein for money.
One would expect nothing less from Draconia's top family in trade and commerce.
"So? Do you have any clues on the missing spiritron vein?" Frank asked.
"Yeah." Vicky nodded but soon became quiet.
Frank was actually curious as to why Vicky was not reacting like she usually did. "What, is there something you can't tell me?" "Well, it's no big deal."
Vicky smiled. "We've found where that rogue executive is, but we don't have the right guy to send since it's the spiritron vein." Frank could not help but laugh when he saw the twinkle in Vicky's eyes. "Don't worry-your troubles are mine. Just leave it to me." "Oh, I love you so much, darling!"
Vicky skipped around before landing a huge smooch on Frank's cheek.
Feeling the soft sweetness in his arms, even Frank could feel a fire burning inside him despite his usual steely determination.
He gulped as he looked into Vicky's
dewy gaze and her ridiculous body figure, and he only smacked her tight bouncy rear as he snorted. "You minx."
Vicky flashed a coquettish smile, winking. "Well, at least I'm the type of minx you love! And don't forget that I'd never refuse you..."
Her clearly pointed words were especially alluring as she hovered her fingers near her lips.
Feeling the fire blaze violently in him to almost unstoppable proportions, Frank could only sigh. Not only was Vicky a goddess among men, but she also knew how to get a man excited. It was highly regretful that Frank still had to abstain.
Pursing his lips, he stopped at brushing his hand against her waist before chuckling as he headed into the hotel. "Just give me the details on your rogue executive tomorrow."
"Tch."
Vicky was folding her arms before her chest, pouting unhappily as she watched Frank leave her and head into the hotel alone. "You keep saying one thing but doing another... Hmph!"
