Chapter 331 After a while, Frank took a warm glass of milk and strode towards Ava’s seat.
People around them were already whispering. Frank was quite famous in Athana. In addition, he was Lithern Club’s boss, so many had seen him. Although Trevon had a small stake in Lithern Club, he never appeared. No one in Athana knew about Trevon’s involvement either Frank had thoughtfully gone to get milk for a girl and carefully placed it in front of her. He handed her tissues and helped. her wipe her mouth. He was so considerate that everyone around him was enjoying the spectacle.
Who would have thought that Frank, who had never been close to women, would dote on a girl so much? However, this girl was also good-looking. No wonder Mr. Roberts took a fancy to her.
The people around them did not dare to look at the couple directly. They only peeped and whispered within their group. Some even secretly took photos of Frank and Ava.
Lily, who was eating in the same restaurant, clenched her fists when she heard everyone praise Ava. Lily was wearing a mask on her face. While Ava was young and attractive-looking. Lily was not that old either. Ava dared to address her as Auntie.
Lily had the urge to get up. She took her red handbag and walked to the peaceful table. She pulled a stool and sat beside Ava.
Since she had already been fired, there was no need to conceal her feelings.
With a woman suddenly sitting beside her, Ava and Frank stopped what they were doing. They furrowed their brows and turned to look at the woman wearing a mask and a sunhat.
“Hi there, lady. We don’t share tables. Can you please change seats?” Ava said as she looked around. There were still many seats in the dining room.
Seeing his lady upset, Frank commanded, ‘I'll give you one minute to disappear. Don’t do anything you'll regret for the rest of your life.” Frank's voice was stoic and cold. It was enough to freeze everyone present.
Upon hearing this, Lily clenched her fists on her knees. She thought, “Such double standard. It turned out that Frank wasn't stoic and didn’t stay away from women. He just showed his thoughtfulness to the woman he liked. However, how long could this girl be pampered?” Lily slowly took off her mask and hat. A seductive face appeared in front of everyone. Her makeup was much thicker than Ava’s, and there was no hint of innocence in her. This was something she could not compare to Ava She had been in the entertainment business for so many years. How could she remain innocent? The rare thing was that she was still untouched. She had kept her purity for Frank for so many years. However, this man no longer needed it. Perhaps he had never needed it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAva could now see the woman's facial features. Wasn't this the woman who had fantasized about Frank yesterday? Wasn't she the woman who had accused her of being useless this morning? Lily's eyes were filled with adoration for Frank. It was clear that she was all over Frank. Ava blurted out, “Auntie” Women hated it when their love rivals accused them of being old. “Auntie” reminded Lily again how much older she was to Ava.
Lily exclaimed, “Little kid. I'm not much older than you. Get it right.” Frank saw that Ava had no intention of letting Lily leave immediately. He thought of what Ava said in the morning and wanted to help her avenge. He did not chase Lily away.
Ava was unhappy. Now that she was facing a love rival, she did not like the atmosphere. She pursed her lips and fell silent before saying, “I'm 22. How old are you, Auntie?” Lily was 28. That was a whooping six years difference. If a woman look good care of herself, one might not tell the age difference. However, Lily had heavy makeup on every day and stayed up late. After removing her makeup, she naturally could not compare to Ava’s youthful looks.
Before Lily could answer, Frank, who had been quiet for a long time, shocked everyone. His words were extremely hurtful, That's half a dozen years, Frank said.
Lily was speechless. Was Frank despising her for being old? Then, Frank pushed the breakfast to Ava and commented, “Eat your food. It won't taste good when it's cold.” It was satisfying for Ava to receive Frank's affection in front of her love rival. She lowered her head and ate the delicacies pushed over by Frank. She ate calmly as if telling Lily to deal with her misfortunes herself.
Frank looked at Ava, who was eating seriously for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. When Lily saw this scene, she was extremely jealous.
Frank retracted his gaze and began chiding. “Lily, do you know why you can still sit here today?” Lily was a little flustered, but she pretended to be calm. She said, “l want to talk to you alone.” Frank refused immediately as he lanced at Ava and said, “She doesn’t like me talking to you alone.” Lily took a deep breath and revealed her thoughts. With a trace of limbleness and self-comfort, she said, “Frank... You know that I like you. You've helped me many times over the years. Don't you feel a little... different from me?” Lily had always been Lithern Club’s headliner for many years. There were always many second-generation nouveau riche who went after her. As long as she was not interested, Frank would deal with them. This was also why she had been untouched for so many years. She was very touched and slowly fell in love with Frank. She thought that he treated her differently.
Although Frank had also helped other girls, he had helped Lily the most.
The hostesses at Lithern Club were very envious of Lily being protected by Frank. Naturally, everyone felt that Frank was interested in her. After hearing loo many rumors, Lily was influenced and thought so too.
She silently cursed herself in her heart. As long as Frank was unmarried, she would always be by his sirle. This was also why she stayed in Lithern Club for so many years. Many people had tried to poach her, but she had rejected them mercilessly, no matter how tempting Lily only wanted to stay in Lithern Club because Frank was there. He was someone she liked.
Frank took a tissue to wipe his hands. He saw that Ava was stuffed and unable to eat anymore and refused to answer Lily immediately. Instead, he asked Ava, his tone filled with adoration. “You can’t eat anymore?” Ava was a little angry. She was still sitting at the table. Why was her love rival confessing to her man so openly? Ava replied politely, “Yes.” Without another word, Frank took the leftovers and began to eat them slowly. He could not care about eating it refinedly but instead gobbled up all the food.
Ava was overjoyed watching Frank eat her leftovers. However, she did not want to interfere with Lily and Frank's affairs. She wanted Frank to solve their issues themselves.
Frank finished the rest of Ava’s food in no time. He took a tissue and wiped his mouth before answering Lily, who had been.
waiting jealously. He said unhurriedly, “Since the beginning. | haven't responded to your adoration. | won't stop you if you get intimate with other men. You can leave anytime. It seems that headliner, who has been working for so many years, still hasn't realized her stans” Ava rested her chin on her hand and looked sideways at the two of them as if she was a spectator.
Lily disagreed with Frank's account. Yes, Frank had said she could get intimate with the customers whenever she wanted, but she didn’t know how to. She was keeping her purity for Frank. Lily exclaimed. “All these years, you knew | liked you, but you didn’t reject me.” Ava thought about the woman's words for a moment and seemed to have caught the main point. This auntie did not seem to have confessed before, it was a one-sided crush. Ava smiled and chimed in, “Can | interrupt? Just one sentence.” Lily was definitely unwilling to hear what Ava had to say. Frank chuckled, which meant that he agreed.
Ava’s eyes and long eyelashes made Lily unhappy. Ava explained, “Auntie, you're emotionally blackmailing Frank. Have you never confessed to Frank? Since you haven't confessed to him, how can you reject him? On what basis can he reject you? Am | right? Also, Frank has already said that you can resign or get intimate with other men. You were the one who refused to leave. As the boss, shouldn’t he protect his employees too?” Ava thought, “She had said more than one sentence anymore. Too much was said all at once.” Ava continued, “Tru sorry, | couldn't help but say too much. Auntie, please continue. Ava’s face was filled with apology as she made a polite gesture for Lily to continue It was true. Lily relied on her speculation to form an ambiguous relationship with Frank. She had no grounds to force Frank to respond to her. She could not bear to let Frank date a girl younger than her. Wasn't this ridiculous? Lithern Club was Frank's. There were many in the venue who liked Frank. He could not fire every one of them. That way, Lithern Club would not be able to operate. One could not control the hearts of others. The remote control was not in one’s hands either.
The only thing one could do was to take care of oneself Frank was already very good to her. She remained untouched.
Frank listened to the little girl's words and smiled again. He could not help but caress the top of Ava’s head as if he was already annoyed by Lily’s pestering. Frank told Lily, “You still have at most an hour. Treasure it well.” Lily frowned and asked with a hint of panic, “What do you mean?” She looked at Frank in confusion and saw that he was grabbing Ava’s arm.
However, Frank did not answer Lily's question. He interlocked his fingers with Ava’s and walked out of the restaurant. The sun was just right, and there was no burning sensation like Sapphire City’s.
Frank arrived at the parking lot with Lily trailing behind him. She pressed down on the driver's door and asked anxiously, do?” “What do you mean | still have an hour? What did you Frank was nearing his limits. He led Ava around the front of the car and opened the passenger seat door for her to get in so that she would not be exposed to the sun.
Then, he stood under the warm sun with a stoic expression and muttered, “Lily, let me give you a piece of advice. There’s no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Who else do you want to hide from with your little secret You were the one who dug your own grave. Don’t blame me for firing you. You know very well who the person who accused Lathern Club is. Don’t act pitiful and plead for my forgiveness. | will give up everything for the person | Lancy even if she doesn’t do anything.
Unfortunately, you are not the one. You and | are mere employee-employer. We won't be together” Lily's face was pale by then. She had done everything so secretly and deleted all her calls and messages. No one would know, Why was she still obsessed with why Frank didn’t fire her earlier on. “Do you love her? She’s just a young lady. She’s after your money.
Lily was sure young ladies like Ava relied on their appearances to latch onto rich guys to climb the social ladder. Lily was unaware of Ava’s family background.
Frank wanted to avenge Ava and hollered, “She’s not someone you can compare to. Even if you disregard her family.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbackground, she’s incomparable. She’s a forthcoming person. If she likes it, she likes it. If she doesn't like it, she won't obsess over it. She doesn’t care about ambiguous feelings at all. It's not that she’s clingy Tm merely waiting for her. Do you understand me?” The man, who had always been a man of few words, began to talk incessantly about Ava. He was only praising Ava and defending her. In the end, tears streamed down Lily's face. She did not want to go and begged, “Can you let me go? For so many years. For so many years. | was your employee.” Lily already regretted her actions that morning. She did not know that Frank had fallen in love with this girl, nor did she know that this girl was so important to him that he could give up everything.
She sneered in her heart and thought her wait was futile. Someone had once told her to wake up her ideas and that she shouldn't harbor too much hope for her boss. Not many decent people would like their partner to be in the entertainment industry.
Although Lily maintained her purity and did not get intimate with her clients, she still drank and played games. with men daily Many men would mind.
“In any case, | don’t plan to get married. Look at the path our colleagues have taken. Those are the best references. Let's earn money well. Once we have enough, we can start anew in a new environment, Lily's colleague once persuaded her.
“I don’t want to. I've waited for so many years. | want to wait. Lily insisted.
“Sigh, why don't you listen? Have you ever seen a boss fall in love with the headliner that he nurtured? He's nurturing you because it's mutually beneficial. You take the results, and he takes the profits. This is the best dynamic between the two of you.” Her colleague's words flashed across her mind. Lily's colleague land advised her many times. However, whenever she saw Frank. Lily felt her colleague was wrong. She had to try her luck with Frank. How would she know if she didn’t try? Frank was unruly, casual, and indifferent when he said. “The moment you calleil Baby Ava, you dug your own grave and paved your way to the police station.” After saying that. Frank opened the car door and got in. He ignored Lily, who was still stunned in her tracks outside. Lily was left with nothing by then.
Lily stood motionless under the sun. Her face was covered in tears, and she smiled as she thought about everything in the past.
The second-generation nouveau riche had asked for her more than once.
Lily had also accidentally heard Miss Roberts calling the manager to reveal that Frank had gone after a girl. At that time, she had panicked and called the second-generation nouveau riche with drug addiction. Her reward was to accompany him for the night.
As long as he pushed the blame onto Frank when something happened to Lithern Club, Lily was willing to fulfill her promise. The premise was that Frank could not be implicated. This was the bottom line given by Lily. She felt that as long as Frank's phone was taken away for two days. Ava would be so angry that she would break up with him. Moreover, if the girl knew that such a deal happened at Frank's place, she would also mind.
Lily had devised the plan to get Frank to return to the club. She was too anxious and made the wrong decision.
Now that Lily thought about it, she felt silly. Lily had committed a crime for someone who did not love her. She did not regret liking him.
If only time could be reversed. Lily was willing to listen to her colleague and leave Frank. However, it was all too late.
