CHAPTER 628 LOCKDOWN
"Aw, what's the hurry? Are you worried I might do something to you?" Frank crossed his legs
nonchalantly. "I'm a gentleman. I won't do anything to you unless you tell me to."
Raquella was getting a headache. "No. I just think it's impolite that you barge into a lady's house
unannounced. You're a stranger."
"Stranger? I'm your boss."
He had a point. He was Elspeth's relative, and Elspeth gave him a good position in the company,
making him her boss.
"Not when it's not working hours."
Frank looked at the time and clicked his tongue. "It's 7.45AM. You have forty-five minutes left till work
begins. Not that much longer till working hours."
Raquella couldn't do anything about that. "What will it take for you to leave?"
"Easy." Frank got up and approached her. "Give me a kiss."
He huddled closer. At that moment, Raquella finally gave him a slap. It was a loud one too. Frank was
flabbergasted. He didn't expect Raquella to actually slap him. Holding his cheek, he looked like a
victim.
"Did you just hit me?" He started tearing up. "Nobody's ever hit me before. You're the first."
Raquella didn't think she would actually slap him. That was just instinct, and she felt a little guilty
seeing him so hurt. "I didn't mean to. You were just annoying."
Frank hung his head low. "You can't just hit me."
Raquella couldn't argue with that, so she looked up. "You can hit me back."
"I can't do that." Even though he was hurt about what happened, he stated, "Even if you did hit me, I
can't do the same to you."
Raquella was a little amused and angry at him. At that moment, she felt her heart skip a beat. No way.
He's like the human version of Annoying Orange. I can't fall in love with him. "If you won't hit me, then
what will it take to make it up to you?"
The look on Frank's face immediately changed, replaced by a big smile. "Hm, give me a minute." He
mused over it and finally said, "Let me stay at your place."
Raquella's eyes went wide. "What'd you just say?"
"I mean, if you want to make it up to me, let me stay at your place."
Raquella refused without hesitating, "I can't let a stranger stay at my place."
Frank covered his face and put on the victim act. "But you slapped me. It hurts, so you have to take
care of me."
I know he's shameless, but this is just low. "You're being unreasonable, you know that?"
"Yeah, I know," said Frank honestly. "I never said I was a gentleman." If I can make her mine, to hell
with the gentleman code. He was sure if she would let him stay, one day he could make her… From NôvelDrama.Org.
Raquella took a deep breath and pointed at the door. "Okay, you can leave now. You have until the
count of three. Leave, or I'll kick you out."
Frank looked at her. "As if."
Raquella looked back at him. "I used to practice karate, and I only used about ten percent of my power
in that slap."
Frank's smile froze when he heard her words. Ten percent? He could still feel the pain of that slap.
Now, he finally knew how terrifying this woman was. If that was ten percent, then her kick would
probably break his bones. Frank felt sweat pouring from his back. "I think we can talk it out."
"We can't."
Frank pleaded, "But this is my only request."
"And it's refused, so you have no requests left." She raised three fingers up. "Three…"
"Hold on, I think we can still talk things out."
"No. Two…"
"But it hurts…"
"One."
Frank decided to embarrass himself and lay on the ground. "No. That's my only request. If you're not
letting me stay, then I won't leave. You can kick me if you want."
Raquella gritted her teeth. "I can make you suffer even more."
Oh sh*t, she's getting mad. Frank quickly got up. "Fine. I'll leave."
Raquella thereafter saw him off. He felt lonely, and she pitied him a bit. However, she wanted to slap
herself for that. What are you thinking? Don't pity him. He's trouble.
Right when Frank went to the entrance, a group of people came. Frank then engaged in a conversation
with them.
Curious, Raquella went ahead to check things out.
Frank finished talking to them after a bit. After that, he turned around to smirk at Raquella.
The group of people left. Raquella couldn't make it in time to hear what it was, and when she noticed
that smirk, she asked, "What did you tell them?"
Frank stretched his arms and sat back on the couch. "Bad news."
"What is it this time?" Raquella frowned.
"I might have to stay over for a bit."
"And why is that?"
Frank shrugged. "The endemic's getting serious, so we're forced to stay at home."
"Like from now on?"
"Yep."
Raquella held her forehead. "How am I supposed to go to work like this?"
"In this climate? You can forget about work." Frank waved. "Tell Elspeth about it. I bet the company
can't run well anyway."
Raquella wasn't happy she couldn't go to work.
"What? Now you have time to relax. Why do you look so down?" Frank couldn't understand why
Raquella wasn't happy.
"Because this is something a rich kid like you won't understand, Frank."
