461: Chapter 463: How did you Make Yourself so Disliked?
“Frank, Frank?!” Yannick Luther uttered a few words, but there was no response from the person nearby.
He raised his head and saw Frank Parker lost in thought.
He didn’t know what Frank was thinking about, but it seed that his thoughts had engrossed him entirely.
Slightly annoyed, Yannick reached out and waved his hand in front of Frank’s eyes: “Frank, snap out of it.
What are you thinking about?”
That’s when Frank Parker finally ca back to earth.
His gaze was still sowhat vacant, filled with confusion, and then he turned to look at Rebecca Kelloway.
The mories of that year when he was ten, most of it was not clear to him anymore.
But one thing that was imprinted deeply in his olfactory mory was that sweet scent.
Even after all these years, he still rembered it.
He couldn’t recall which perfu Rebecca used that night.
But over the many years since, Rebecca had never used that perfu again.
He once asked her about it, and she casually comnted that she no longer liked that scent and, also, that perfu had been discontinued.
But, on that day, he slled the sa perfu on Joanna Lawrence.
If it was discontinued, how could Joanna have the sa perfu?
Many questions filled his mind.
Perhaps, he thought, he should ask Joanna about it.
He wasn’t sure if it was due to the familiar sensation that Joanna gave him, but he found that he did not dislike her as much as he had before.
However, he still didn’t like her.
“Nothing at all.”
Frank shifted his gaze away from Rebecca and stood up.
“I am going to the restroom; you guys chat,” he said.
Having spoken, he walked out of the private room.
Yannick watched as Frank left the private room.
He thought for a mont, then stood up and cheerfully said to Rebecca: “Rebecca, I also need to use the restroom.
Order whatever you want to eat or drink.
Ashton is treating us tonight.”
“Oh, by the way, a few new gentlen have joined the club recently.
They have a good figure and look very handso.
Want to set you up with them?”
This remark earned him a glare from Rebecca Kelloway, and a pillow thrown at him: “Yannick Luther, do you want to die?”
Yannick touched his nose, looking innocent: “Okay, okay.
If you don’t want it, fine.”

Once outside the private room…
Instead of heading for the restroom, Frank Parker leaned against the hallway’s wall.
His hands were in his pockets, and he squinted at the bright light above him.
The light was blinding, forcing him to shut his eyes.
After a while, he slowly opened them again.
The door to the private room was pushed open again.
When Yannick left the private room and saw Frank waiting outside, he was sowhat startled.
But he promptly closed the room door, smirking.
“Why, aren’t you going to the restroom?”
Frank glanced at him and replied faintly: “It’s stuffy inside, just stepping out for so air.”
“Sa for .”
Yannick likewise put one hand in his trouser pocket.
After standing silently beside Frank for a while, he asked, “Did Rebecca say anything to you?”
Frank pressed his lips together: “Nothing.”
“Is it sothing about Ashton?” Even if Frank didn’t say anything, Yannick could guess.
“What is she thinking?
Why can’t she let go?
Ashton is married now.
You’ve seen how much he cares about his wife.
If this continues, Frank, we’ll all beco strangers in the end.”
Yannick, who usually had a lackadaisical attitude, was now serious beyond words.
“I can understand if Rebecca doesn’t like Joanna.
But what about you?
What’s your reason?”
“Joanna has never offended you in the past, has she?
Why do you dislike her so much?”
